After a year on maternity leave, I was eager to return to work. I missed feeling like more than just “Mom.” But there was a problem—none of my old office clothes fit after pregnancy.
o, I asked my husband, Tyler, if I could buy a few new outfits.
His reply?
“Your job is expensive for us. Why not work as a cleaner? That way, you won’t need fancy clothes.
I just stood there, stunned.
I had given up so much for this man—caring for our baby, keeping the house in order, making sure he had everything he needed. And now? He wouldn’t even support me with something so small.
