Ghost of Quokka's Future

I love my wife. But these days she only speaks to me to push more tasks onto my plate, complain, or complain about how I performed the task she pushed onto me. Often she doesn't even speak to me. She just sends mispelled and unintelligible texts from the bedroom while she nurses our baby. My days are long and thankless, and I die a little inside every time my phone beeps and I know it's never anything good.
If my friends and coworkers are any indicator, this is not atypical. I doubt even being the most powerful CEO on the planet changes that dynamic much. Most men just aren't important enough to have women who's entire job is being nice and pleasant hunting us down.

Imagine Apple firing Steve Jobs.
They.... did? Is this some sort of Mandela Effect thing?
Lucky. I wake up at 5:30 am, get my other kid ready for school, drive her, drive to work, work 9 hours, get home a 8 PM, cook dinner, clean, do my other kid's occupational therapy, read to her, get her to bed, desperately try to avoid thinking about having to do all this again the next day. Then my wife shows up to complain breathlessly about how hard it was napping with the infant half the day. Then the moment it might finally be my turn to talk she bolts off.
