When Camila’s son Michael became a father, everything changed. Michael had always been ambitious and driven, but after his wife Lisa gave birth, his determination twisted into criticism. Lisa left her job to recover from a difficult birth and care for their baby, but instead of appreciating her sacrifices, Michael grew resentful. He complained about chores, meals, and the house, ignoring the sleepless nights and constant demands of newborn care.
Soon, Michael stopped helping around the house altogether, insisting that since Lisa wasn’t working, she should handle everything alone. Their once-strong marriage crumbled under pressure and misunderstanding, eventually leading to divorce. Michael moved back into Camila’s home, still convinced he was right, while Lisa struggled alone with a newborn.
Camila couldn’t bear to watch her son treat motherhood like a “break.” So she gifted Lisa a week-long vacation and handed Michael a daily schedule of every responsibility his wife had previously handled. He reluctantly agreed to manage it all himself — caring for the baby, cooking, cleaning, and managing the house. Within days, the house fell apart, exhaustion set in, and Michael finally saw the truth: being a stay-at-home mom was far harder than he ever imagined.
By the end of the week, Michael was in tears, admitting his mistakes. With Camila’s encouragement, he apologized sincerely to Lisa and began rebuilding their relationship. It took time, patience, and effort, but eventually they found their way back to each other — and Michael vowed never again to take his wife’s sacrifices for granted.
