The Counterattack of Stay-at-Home Moms

My dad suddenly collapsed and needed emergency treatment at the hospital, and they required a $100 payment. As a full-time stay-at-home mom for years, I’ve had to rely on my husband, Albert, for living expenses each month. With only about $60 left in my phone balance, I asked Albert, “Can you lend me $100 for Dad’s treatment? I’ll pay you back as soon as he’s awake.” To my shock, Albert snapped, “No way. He’s not my dad, so why should I give you the money?” Elaine, his wife, even barged into the hospital and yelled at me, “Your dad’s death isn’t my son’s problem. Stop trying to use his money.” Later, Elaine was seriously injured and ended up in the ICU. I casually said, “She’s not my mom. Just take off the oxygen tube.”
