I left my newborn with my husband during a work trip, but when I returned, his behavior was strange—withdrawn and overwhelmed. James, who had agreed to stay home with our daughter, admitted he felt trapped and wasn’t cut out for it. He suggested daycare, but we had planned for him to stay home.
Tensions grew as we both felt the weight of sacrifices made. Eventually, I hired a nanny to help, and James began adjusting, appreciating the support. Slowly, we found a balance, with James picking up freelance work and me continuing my career. We faced challenges, but together, we began to navigate parenthood more successfully.
