Is the wife's feeling that her husband is falling short in helping her and taking care of their home and child stemming from imitating the West, or is she in the right?

It cannot be definitively stated that a wife's feeling that her husband is falling short is an imitation of the West. A wife's service to her husband in household chores (internal service) is customarily obligatory, while the husband is responsible for financial support (external service). If the wife is of a certain social standing or ill, the husband must provide a servant for her. The husband is commanded to treat his wife kindly, and his assisting her and bringing joy to her is part of good companionship. This was the guidance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Childcare and upbringing are a shared right and responsibility of both spouses, and they must cooperate in this. Both spouses are advised to be patient, understanding, and avoid emotional outbursts to achieve happiness, security, and family stability.
