Pissed off!!

So my OH is in a band. They practice a couple of times a week & gig fairly often. All of this is within 30 mins drive ish (just because our local area has a lot of music venues). The band is for fun only, they don’t make money and my OH works during the week.
I’m 39 weeks pregnant, and have a 2 year old. My toddler came at 39+2 (6 hours labour!) and I’ve been having stronger and stronger cramps, dodgy tum & no sleep the last couple of days. OH is aware of this.
Anyway, to the reason I’m pissed off! Tonight OH said she was going to a radio interview for the band. She just called and said she’d cocked up and it’s 2.5 hours away but she’s still going, even tho 2 of the other band mates are also going and it’s just talk radio (they’re not playing).
Seriously am I mad in being pissed off? What if baby comes? Neither of us have family close by but we do have friends we could call in an emergency. Aaaagh maybe I’m just being hormonal

YANBU. That would stress me out.

Yanbu at all Angry

Nope that sounds so stressful for you and not worth the agro. I'd ask her to stay.

YouTheCat · 17/07/2018 18:03

Half an hour away is doable. 2 and a half hours away is definitely not.

She said on the phone she can’t let anyone in the band or the radio station down, but I honestly don’t see how it would?! Agh

Second labours can be fast! Surely she’d be gutted to miss the birth? Can’t she do the radio interview over the phone, does she actually need to be in the studio? Good luck with the baby Flowers

Yanbu to be annoyed. She didn’t want to let the band down? Lame when your have a partner about to pop back home.

This is all wrong. Labour can happen fast. My colleague went from contractions to baby in 4 hours... YANBU at all.
