Once again I agree with you. You didn't hear from them after your husband walked out, but the first phone call is to ask you to bake for the family.
It's not the biggest issue out there, but it says a lot about how women are expected to support their family without receiving the same consideration in return. If you're angry, apply some of that anger to your husband as well. He's hanging on around you, but still living exactly as he pleases.
