One mom on TikTok, Maggie, shares a perfect example of this unbalanced dynamic, recalling a frustrating conversation she had with her husband.
in their family unit. The parent that the kids come to ask for snacks, homework help, and rides to a friend’s house.
She continues, “That's the difference between being a stay-at-home parent and being the default parent and just being like the homemaker versus being the other parent. And I talked to him about it and it's just frustrating.
Before I start singing that song from TikTok , let’s break down exactly what Maggis is venting about here . She’s a stay-at-home mom. So her day-to-day is mainly focused on the children and the house work while her husband works and brings home a physical paycheck. This kind of dynamic typically sets up roles where mom is on kid-duty 24/7 and dad “clocks in” only when needed because he’s bringing home the bacon. It’s archaic and played out, but it still happens.
Other TikTok users tried to encourage Maggie to speak up and take action against this uneven labor dynamic set up in their house.
