"I'm a mom of a set of twin kids they are about 4.5 yrs old they are pretty independent kids but still need mom and dads help for somethings. I told dad twin A needs this, dad said ok. And let it be. I got up and tended to twins A minor needs but told dad this is why I get mad. All things pertaining to the kids fall on me."
"In dads eyes things I tell him need to be done immediately and he called himself shrek. I walked away and said I didn't call you names I just stated why I get mad and walked away. Now shrek is asleep and the lil minions are up. And that's why I get mad all things pertaining to kids are left to me. providing and driving are left to shrek. Being this vague is not helpful but I feel like he provides and I care for kids."
A mother of 4.5-year-old twins handles most day-to-day caregiving tasks while the father focuses on providing and driving. The twins are fairly independent but still require parental help for some needs. The mother asked the father to address Twin A's need; he agreed but did not act, so she attended to the child herself. The father referred to himself as "shrek" during the exchange, and later slept while the children remained awake. The mother feels the division of responsibilities is vague and unequal, causing repeated frustration.
