A MUM has revealed how she dropped everything and took a four day holiday, leaving her husband at home and without giving him any warning.<\/p>\n

Taking to Reddit<\/a>, the wife asked if she was an \u201ca**hole\u201d for doing so in the hope to try and teach her \u201clazy\u201d husband a lesson.<\/p>\n

In the post she explained that she and her husband had been together for eight years, had married 15 months ago and share a four-year-old son.<\/p>\n

The woman revealed that she works 12 hour days for four days a week, while her husband finishes work at 1am, and will sleep the rest of the day, spending days off with herself and their son.<\/p>\n

But recently, the woman has noticed her husband has been doing less around the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have noticed that as time goes on, he does less and less around the house,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore this he would make dinner on his days off, take care of ALL of sons needs and do basic cleaning so that I could have a breather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNow he doesn’t make dinner at all, falls asleep on the couch by 7 so I have son duty 24\/7 and hasn’t lifted a finger to clean in weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo on my 3 days off a week, I end up having to deep clean my entire house because I don’t have time to do anything on my work days aside from the bare minimum.\u201d<\/p>\n

After asking him to help her our, the mum became frustrated when he did just 30 minutes of chores before helping a friend, so she hatched out a plan<\/p>\n

She explained: \u201c(I) asked my mom to take my son for 4 days and planned a vacation for myself with work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI dropped my son off yesterday with my mom (I only did this because my husband obviously works) and took off to our cabin 58 miles away to relax.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband started texting me last night asking where I was. I told him the cabin. He asked where our son was so I told him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I straight out told him I needed a break. I asked him for help. He disregarded it all<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHe then started going off about how this is selfish of me and that if he had realised I wasn’t merely stressed out that he would have helped out more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cUsed the argument that he too is stressed out and tired. He claims my communication on the issue was terrible and that I could have been more open and laid it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSays that I’m an AH (a**hole) for taking a vacation without him because he \u2018could have used it too\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the thing is, I straight out told him I needed a break. I asked him for help. He disregarded it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the majority of Reddit users sided with the wife, agreeing that she was not an \u201ca**hole.\u201d<\/p>\n

One wrote: \u201cDoes husband not have eyes? Can he not see what needs to be cleaned, tidied or cooked? Does he not know his child’s needs?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he didn’t before maybe his “four day vacation” without a child to care for or a wife to clean up after him opened his eyes (sic).\u201d<\/p>\n

Agreeing, another added: \u201cHe has a house to himself, with no wife nor child to worry about. How is he not also getting a vacation?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s upset at facing the consequences of his own actions and he should be apologising to you,\u201d wrote a third.<\/p>\n
