The story · English

A woman decided to take her children to the cinema and leave her husband to prepare for guests alone after he insisted she clean the house before his friends arrived. The husband typically refused to help with cleaning before her friends came over, but when his own friends were visiting, he expected the house to be spotless. Despite her explaining that she had a tough week and lacked the energy to host, he insisted the guests were his responsibility, not hers. She refused to participate in the cleaning, reminding him that his friends would not judge the state of the house, and left with the children. The husband stayed home to handle the preparations by himself.

Afterwards, he accused her of being petty and said she should have at least left the children to help him. His mother also believed she should have assisted and suggested she embarrassed him by not helping. However, social media users largely supported the woman, arguing that since the husband invited the guests and claimed responsibility, he should also manage the preparations. Some pointed out that he spent time playing video games while waiting for the laundry, expecting others to clean. The woman concluded that as an adult, if he wanted the house clean for his friends, he should take care of it himself.
