Regardless, her husband is adamant that if his daughter is there, then he won’t get to truly relax. He also accused her of putting his daughter’s needs above their marriage.
She’s pretty angry about this, too, because it seems like he expects her to choose him or her daughter – which she believes is really unfair.
She tried telling him just how difficult it was to “switch off” mom mode, yet her husband kept calling her selfish.
“Now we’re stuck. He says if my daughter comes, he doesn’t want to go, and I’m starting to feel like I’ll just feel guilty either way,” she vented.
This has left her wondering whether she should focus more on their marriage or if she’s right that her daughter needs to come first.
Is it important to strike a balance when parenting to ensure your spouse doesn’t feel neglected? How do you suggest she handles this situation?
