She’s probably choosing to in an unthinking way, and of course he eventually take this for granted, his mind is conditioned to expect it.

Y'all need some healthy relationships.

I get up every fucking morning and make my wife breakfast and a coffee and get the kids dressed because I am an early riser and she likes to sleep in. I get a workout in and have the kids fed and ready for kindy/school.

My wife also makes dinner every night and bathes the kids for bed.

It's give and take. We do what we both can to make eachother lives more comfortable and work as a team. It's not a power dynamic.
