I love my partner, but the dynamics of our relationship took a turn for the worse once we became parents.
I hit my breaking point during a frustrating drive home, stuck in traffic while both my daughters were wailing in the backseat—one wanted to blast the Trolls soundtrack, while the other demanded more juice. After a long and exhausting day, I found myself in tears alongside them. It was clear something had to change.
At that time, I was juggling school runs, extracurricular activities, household chores, and a full-time job—all while being seven months pregnant with our third daughter! Meanwhile, my husband seemed blissfully unaware of the chaos, fully absorbed in his work and enjoying a calm commute home. At least that’s how it appeared to me.
When he finally arrived home that night, I let loose. My outburst didn’t bring any relief or solutions, but it was a necessary wake-up call. We needed professional help and decided to seek out a couples counselor.
Through counseling, I learned to pinpoint the source of my resentment. With the guidance of our counselor, we established a new schedule that worked for both of us. We implemented practical tips and tricks to share parenting responsibilities more equally, allowing us both to feel more balanced and engaged in family life.
