Reddit Mom Wants A Vacation From Husband And Kids

…and others just straight up said, “divorce.”

“Use that money to get a divorce, get 50/50 custody so while he’ll be struggling in his weeks with the kids, you have time to work, go on holidays, and do whatever you want.

Right now, he’s just an extra child who doesn’t contribute anything. IT is not a labor-intensive, physical job. He won’t die from doing laundry or cooking dinner. But you are enabling him, which you need to stop doing.

Don’t ask him if you can go out, go on holiday, or whatever — tell him. They’re his kids, too, and if he can’t survive one week alone with them, that’s completely his problem.

Stop doing his laundry, making his food, and doing other chores for him. If he doesn’t like it, he can leave.”
