Husband challenges his wife's home responsibilities by working from home

Husband struggles to manage kids and work, canceling meetings and dealing with messes
In a recent viral Reddit post, a 31-year-old woman shared her anonymous story about allowing her children to disrupt her husband's business meeting after he challenged her domestic responsibilities, as per PEOPLE. The story has sparked an online debate, bringing attention to the often-overlooked work of stay-at-home parents.
A day of role reversal
The Reddit user, "throwaway815126," shared her experience with her 36-year-old husband and their two sons, ages 5 and 7. The husband, who was used to working in an office, decided to work from home to show how 'easy' his wife's responsibilities were compared to his.
The wife wrote, "I said he has no idea how much I do every day, and he said he'd handle the kids for an entire day while also working from home just to prove it should be easy for me." The wife runs a small business from home while caring for their energetic younger son.
As the husband began his day of working from home, the wife took the opportunity to sleep in. When she awoke, her husband was already exhausted from managing their children. 
He struggled to balance his work commitments and their needs, eventually canceling a meeting to prepare breakfast for their older son. "He ended up having to cancel a meeting to make breakfast, and was worried about that," the wife wrote in the post.
The difficulties continued as the children tracked mud throughout the house, necessitating cleaning that fell entirely on the husband's shoulders.
Husband's frustration meets wife's defiance
Despite witnessing her husband's struggles, the wife maintained that her workload was not being adequately acknowledged. When her husband confronted her, frustrated with her lack of assistance, she responded that a simple request for help would have sufficed. Their conversation raised deeper issues of communication and appreciation in their relationship.
The Reddit post went viral, with thousands of users supporting the wife's point of view. Many people shared her sentiments, expressing outrage at the husband's dismissive attitude toward her contributions to their household.
Suggestions included leaving the house for a day to show the scope of her responsibilities and refusing to clean up after the children to show her efforts.
