We spent what was meant to be a normal overnight in the hospital. They wanted to track Milo’s oxygen as my son had a chest illness that suddenly worsened. Nothing important, yet frightening enough for a single parent alone in a sterile room with beeping machines.

After a hard day of looking after our newborn boy, I was spent. As usual, I assumed my husband would pitch in for dinner given I was occupied feeding our infant. I said I’d come back shortly to join him; when I arrived at the table, there was nothing left for me. I attempted to remain composed, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed. How could he consume it all without leaving me even a bite? After a hard day of looking after our small one, I was hungry and all I wanted was to sit down and savor a…
