My sister’s husband was playing video games, unaware that his pregnant wife, who was not feeling well, was doing the household chores. This upset me, and here’s the lesson I gave him.

My sister is nine months pregnant, and whenever I have some free time, I visit her to help with the household chores. She is often home alone. It’s a tough time for her, and I try to support her.

The last time, she even asked me to stay at her place because she was feeling particularly unwell. When I arrived at their house, I saw her husband comfortably settled on the couch, playing video games. Meanwhile, my sister, who wasn’t feeling well, was preparing dinner and doing the dishes.

I admit, I was shocked. I thought he was helping, especially in the last months of the pregnancy, but that was clearly not the case. My sister never complains about him, but what I saw was too much for me. I couldn’t stay silent.

I told him that, even though she never complains, he should be helping her instead of sitting there playing, especially during this delicate time. He first ignored me, then replied, “It’s women’s work, it’s not my problem.”

His response and indifference made me angry. I decided to teach him a good lesson, and here’s what I did.

I challenged him: if he could spend an entire day doing his wife’s tasks, I would take care of my sister, and he could relax and play video games.

He accepted with a lot of confidence, even arrogance.

I then bought a large watermelon, and together, we made a fake pregnancy belly for him.

When he started doing the household chores, it was a disaster.

He struggled to bend over, do the dishes, vacuum, and even cook.

By noon, he was already exhausted, drenched in sweat, and completely discouraged.

When he finally gave up, he apologized, realizing for the first time the workload involved.

Since that day, he has changed and does everything to help my sister.
