Dear Abby: Stay-at-home dad called a mooch by his wife
Original: Dear Abby: I spend 20 years raising our kids. Why is my wife calling me a mooch?
A widely syndicated Dear Abby advice column features a letter from a father who says he spent 20 years raising the couple's children, while his wife now calls him a 'mooch'. The column, carried by outlets including AL.com, addresses the tension over his years as a caregiver and the resentment in the marriage. Advice columns like this routinely spark debate among readers about household contributions and respect.
Why now: The column touches a nerve on debates about unpaid caregiving and who 'provides' in a marriage.
