I would call this the clash of fantasy against reality. In our life, 99% of time is just rote work - clean the house, do the dishes, do the laundry, fold the clothes, feed the kids, drive them to school, help with homework etc. The fantasy world of romance and fairy tales is filled with thrilling adventures, handsome men and beautiful women, everyone is rich and never had to do any work. The author seems to be still wanting that fairy tale where everything is about her and her free time - everything else be damned.
