[ WP ] You are a stay-at-home parent to a super-powered child . Your superhero spouse spends all day saving the world . Write your exasperated post to /r/parenting detailing your unique frustrations .

Everyone in a marriage either marries up or marries down. I'm a 43 year old man who married down. My wife, Laura, is the modern day Wonder Woman. Most of my guy friends think I married up, but they do n't see the truth. They do n't see that our 11 year old does n't listen to me. Ever since she reached the `` terrible two'' stage, she's been defiant. It was n't that she was super-strong or fast but she is brilliant. She is telekinetic. 
 
 In the life of a stay at home dad I have to do the chores, cook the meals, the whole nine. My friends are all CEO's and partners at their own law firms. I went to the Cox School of Business for god sake! I could be ten thousand times more of a productive member in society. I could have been someone. Done something. But I love her. So I clean the house and cook the meals and take care of little Becca. Laura always brings home something unique and valuable from her travels. 
 
 We're paid in gratitude from the community. You think I ever have to pay for groceries or anything at our local Walgreens? No. Never. But how would that make you feel? Receiving everything you could want from someone else's merit. It makes you feel worthless. Like you feel into something that you do n't deserve. We were young. Reckless. She was quiet and shy. No one would have ever guessed she was super, hell she even wore a mask. Now she does n't. Everyone knows her. Everyone knows me. Our family. We get no privacy. 
 
 You think North West has a rough life? Wait until you look at Becca's life. Her mom is a super hero. She keeps people like North West out of harms way, everyone out of harms way, but always come home. Now I've said I love her but am I holding her back or is she holding me back? What if she had never married me? We had never had a family? Would anyone know who she was? The only reason she's famous is because of me. I pushed it on her. I had to quit my job and no one understood. How could they? She did n't work and I quit a six-fiqure job trading Gold and Silver futures to look after a child? It was for me. I hate myself for that everyday. I just hope she does n't. Who knows when she's actually saving the world. She could have anyone she wanted. I'm always worried but always trust her. 
 
 I've complained enough, you see, through all the hard time, through all the craziness of my life she's still the love of my life and it will never change. Becca was the best crisis my wife could never fix.
