When our vacuum broke, my husband refused to replace it and told me to sweep the floors since I’m “just on maternity leave”—so I showed him a lesson he won’t soon forget

He changed three diapers without being asked. Took the 3 a.m. bottle shift two nights in a row, even when Lila screamed in his face like she knew he was new at it. He paced the hallway with her until she passed out on his shoulder.

He even took her for a walk Sunday morning so I could nap. Left a sticky note on the bathroom mirror that said, “Sleep. I’ve got her.”

I didn’t gloat. Didn’t say “told you so.” Didn’t bring up the office.

But the broken broom? Still sitting in the hallway, right where I left it. Just in case he forgets.
