To want to be the one to take my DS to hospital?

I’ve been divorced from my ex for around 3 years. My child needs a minor operation next week. It’ll be the first time he’s had a general anaesthetic. It’s a simple procedure with minimal risk but I’m still nervous. There’s also the possibility DS will feel poorly afterwards and I’ve always been the primary carer.

I’ve asked my ex to look after the other children whilst I’m at the hospital. He’s said no, he wants to be the one to take DS. He isn’t backing down. Due to Covid only one of us can go.

He usually has the children one weekend every fortnight.

Am I being selfish wanting to take my son myself? I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable.

@AnneLovesGilbert it's not a random thing to say at all. It's a way round it for the OP. Yes he may agree to shield, but on the other hand if he refuses then it's a reason he can't go.
