That he shouldn't have gone to the football?

DH was on a night out last night so came home about 3/4ish this morning which isn't an issue at all but then says he's going to the football today (a bit annoying but oh well). We have two DCs and 10 month old wakes up this morning with rash over his whole body. Not a rash I recognise don't think chicken pox.

I called 111 and they gave me a time to take him to A&E. AIBU to think DH shouldn't have pissed off to the football to leave me with the 2 kids going to the A&E?! Especially since he "rested" all morning!

Yanbu at all. He's a selfish twat.

Lemonlimesoda · 27/10/2019 11:10

Wow

MyNewBearTotoro · 27/10/2019 11:10

Did he know when he left you needed to go toA&E? If so he has been unbelievably selfish. If not it’s maybe a bit more forgivable, but I’d be calling him right now and getting him to either come home and meet you at A&E to take out your elder child.

Allinadaystwerk · 27/10/2019 11:12

Reverse the roles..if you were due to go out somewhere socially this morning and he was staying with the kids...would you still go and leave him to deal with A&E for you 10 month old baby?
If not why not?

What a selfish bastard he is. I have an exh that used to constantly do this.

His needs were always put before that of his own flesh & blood. Hence now divorced.

letsdolunch321 · 27/10/2019 11:14

OP, wishing your little one a speedy recovery.

wasthataburp · 27/10/2019 11:15

Yeah he did know I had to go to a and e. He's asked his mum to come to watch eldest child for me. Even so I don't think that's acceptable!

Is he playing or coaching football? The latter if it was kids would be more understandable that he couldn’t drop it at short notice.

Otherwise he’s a selfish twat.

Strangerthingshere · 27/10/2019 11:18

What an absolute knob. YANBU at all, how selfish.

wasthataburp · 27/10/2019 11:19

No she's just going to watch

Selfish twat then. Sorry OP, you deserve better help in the situation.

DriftingLeaves · 27/10/2019 11:21

Total prick

manchild

drum123 · 27/10/2019 11:22

Totally selfish. When one of my grandsons had to go to A&E, I looked after the other one so both parents could go. No way would I have looked after him so my son could go to watch a game of football!

Why did he ‘rest’ all morning?

RandomWok · 27/10/2019 11:27

He's a complete cockwomble and selfish pig. Who fucks off out when their child is being taken to hospital? Bang out of order. Big hugs OP x

Quartz2208 · 27/10/2019 11:40

So not only has he checked out of family life since yesterday evening he is prioritising it over his children and is not at all concerned that his child needs to visit A&E

Not sure there are words really

bluebeck · 27/10/2019 11:49

LTB.

Really.

MrsSpenserGregson · 27/10/2019 11:51

YANBU. Hope your little one is OK.

Abouttimemum · 27/10/2019 12:01

So he doesn’t give a shit about his child’s health? Wow.

EKGEMS · 27/10/2019 12:34

What a pathetic and disgusting faux human and father

NovoJester · 27/10/2019 12:36

As they gave you a time to go to A and E rather than telling you to get an ambulance he may have thought it wasn’t serious and he did arrange childcare but yes he’s still being unreasonable.

Is he like this often or is it his one weekend out in a while?

wasthataburp · 27/10/2019 17:58

DS had a viral rash so nothing serious thank god. Thanks for all your well wishes! X
