As any parent can tell you, parenting is a full-time job. It may not pay the bills, but it sure takes a lot out of you. It doesn’t stop when you go to sleep, or when you’re watching TV, or even when you’re on vacation. You’re a parent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You don’t get to choose whether or not you’re ‘on duty’ if you’re a parent, you just always are. And for couples parenting together, it’s important that you both understand that. Otherwise, conflicts are bound to arise. 

That’s what happened in this couple when the husband didn’t quite internalize the role of father.

Read on for the story and see what you think.
