I’m Miharu. My life with my husband, Tomoya, flipped upside down after our daughter, Cheri, was born six months ago. While Cheri is absolutely precious, she’s a total handful right now. Since I’m on maternity leave, I’m basically on duty 24/7. It would be a huge help if Tomoya pitched in more, but he’s obsessed with his “self-care” routine. He spends so much time on his skincare and workouts that I can’t help but wish he’d spare even a few minutes for the house or the baby.
Ever since she was born, Cheri has been a real crier. Lately, she’s been struggling to fall asleep even when she’s exhausted, so she cries all through the night. Despite that, Tomoya never misses his daily jog, and even when I beg him to take over, he prioritizes his skincare routine over everything else. To top it off, he actually summoned me out of the shower just because “Cheri wouldn’t stop crying,” only to go right back to his daily stretches… I thought it was a total emergency and rushed out of the bathroom soaking wet! When I saw poor Cheri just lying on the floor crying, I was speechless. I’m just getting more exhausted by the day.
