My Husband Refused to Assemble Our Baby’s Crib — So I Did It Myself While 9 Months Pregnant, but the Lesson I Taught Him Was Harsh

Nine months pregnant, Eloise was frustrated as Tom procrastinated assembling the crib, a symbol of his unreliability. Feeling alone, she built it herself, back aching, tears falling. When Tom saw, he dismissed her effort, infuriating her further. Determined to teach him a lesson, Eloise planned a baby shower, assigning Tom an overwhelming list of tasks—cake, decorations, food—knowing he’d struggle. She feigned exhaustion, watching him scramble as the party loomed. By morning, Tom was panicking, unable to find streamers or secure a cake. As

guests arrived, the half-done decorations and missing food exposed his unpreparedness. At the party, Eloise addressed everyone, revealing she assembled the crib alone, emphasizing partnership in marriage and parenthood. The room fell silent, Tom flushed with embarrassment, his mother visibly disappointed. After, alone, Tom apologized, admitting he’d failed to support her. Eloise, firm but hopeful, stressed she needed a reliable

partner. Tom promised to change, his sincerity clear. She gave him a chance, warning him not to waste it. The lesson wasn’t just about a crib—it was about their shared journey. Eloise’s plan worked, forcing Tom to confront his inaction and commit to being the partner and father she needed, rekindling hope for their future together.
