How can one reconcile the husband's desire to devote himself to worship and attend to his religious affairs with the wife's demands for his help with household matters and childcare, especially given that the wife feels resentful of the husband's focus on worship, and the husband believes she is discouraging him from it?
You are not obligated to serve your son, and your wife has no right to object to your diligence in performing the Tahajjud (night vigil prayer) or other acts of worship, especially during seasons of obedience. Each of you should assist the other in worship, and it is recommended for you to help her with household matters as much as you are able. It is important to balance obligations with supererogatory acts and to give everyone their due rights.
