This is a story about a husband and wife. Where the husband works long hours during the week and is put under pressure by his wife every day when he comes back home from work because of how much more she does with the children than him.
One day, the husband rushes back home after work to try and do more at home with his kids. But, he is involved in an accident and dies.
His wife is devastated but eventually carries on with her usual routine as she has to focus on the care of their 3 children who are between the ages of 5 and 10.
After six months, the savings are gone, the bills are piling up. Her husband paid all the bills before, including the mortgage, even the tuition at school for his kids; all her clothes and material possessions he had paid for. She no longer has the comforts she once enjoyed with a husband she never appreciated and always told people "he was useless".
A few years pass, and the house is falling into a state of disrepair. She does what she can, but he often took care of those things or arranged for people to conduct repairs.
She then has to work 3 jobs to pay for household expenses and bills whilst juggling time with her children, that she can barely afford to pay for.
It's at this point that she realises that she took her husband for granted and could not see his contribution as she was only thinking about her struggles.
...
Moral of the story.
Each person carries their own set of responsibilities and contributes in different ways. What one partner does is rarely seen by the other as they focus on their own problems and shift blame at one another in frustration.
Two people in a relationship together need to come together and accept that each of them has different battles to fight and learn to communicate and listen without juxtapositioning.
Taking care of the kids and taking care of the finances are both equally valid. Neither is more nor less important than the other, and both are difficult responsibilities to carry.
Both have to learn to appreciate the value and contribution of the other.

This story was an adaptation that was repositioned away from a sexist feminist standpoint that only shows the struggles of women and positions men in a negative context for not seeing or appreciating the contributions of their female partner.
In the original story (or the original stories), the man is seen as the aggressor, always arguing with his wife about how she does nothing all day and that he comes home to a messy house and has to do housework.
She leaves him and takes the kids, and he realises what he has lost because he did not appreciate her.
...
In the real world, every household is different. Different people as partners have different strengths and weaknesses; some work well together and some do not. Some women are terrible partners and could even be lazy; on the inverse, some men are terrible partners and could also be lazy.
We need to reject modern feminist nonsense that always seeks to position men in a negative context and start embracing real equality and the balance in a relationship.
P.S. Feminists love to throw the word "Mansplaining" in relation to any oppositional article that shows the struggles of men. This is an entirely subjective repositioning in an attempt to force the modern feminist narratives that falsely show women constantly undervalued, under-appreciated and the ones who carry the heaviest burden in a relationship, especially when they have children together
This does happen in some relationships, though it's not restricted to any one gender and it can remain a possibility for either gender. It certainly does not happen in all relationships though.
