When Sophie’s kids said they wished she didn’t exist, their words struck deeper than any pain she’d ever felt. Angry and careless, they didn’t realize the weight of their words. Sophie decided to take their wish seriously, vanishing from their lives without a trace. It was time they learned what life would be like without her.

People often said being a housewife was easy—staying home, relaxing, living off a husband’s hard work. What a misconception.

For Sophie, being a stay-at-home mom was no simple task; it was an unending marathon with no breaks. Her days blurred with cleaning, cooking, soothing tantrums, and managing countless other responsibilities.

Liam, her spirited but headstrong five-year-old, was at an age where every small thing sparked a battle.

Clara, nearing her pre-teen years, was brimming with attitude and unpredictable moods.

And her husband, Nathan? He believed his paycheck excused him from household duties. It was exhausting.

That evening, as usual, they gathered for dinner. Sharing their day was a routine, often filled with unexpected moments.

Sophie looked at Liam, who was poking at his peas. “Liam, how was preschool today?” she asked, forcing a cheerful tone.

He shrugged. “It was fine, but Miss Carter might call you tomorrow.”
