My wife and I are expecting twins, and while I’m thrilled to become a dad, I’ve been struggling to balance work, university, and keeping our home running. Lately, even small disagreements over chores—like doing the dishes—have turned into full-blown conflicts. Now I’m questioning if I’m being unfair, or if my frustrations are justified.

That’s why I’m here: am I the a**hole for asking my pregnant wife to help with the dishes?
