So I’ve posted about this yesterday but I need some clarification because I seem to doubt myself a lot these days. I can’t ask my friends because I am embarrassed.

My baby was ill and in hospital due to his first febrile seizure, he had a high temperature and was not very well. His dad and I don’t live together but are in the process of sorting things out. Or we were. Anyway he sat with us at the hospital for a while but it was a one parent only in so I took our son, I told him he may as well go home because it will be hours. I didn’t get home until the early hours with 0 sleep. Whilst I was at the hospital he told me he may go out Sunday evening. I just said so you’re going to leave me here at the hospital 0 sleep and go out. He just got annoyed.

Our son is okay still under the weather. He checked in with us all morning and then told me he’s going out. He went out, he didn’t come to see our baby, he didnt offer to come over instead of going out. My family asked where he was and I had to lie because I was embarrassed that he wasn’t here. I wouldn’t of been able to leave the baby. I know they are common but he still is poorly and I was running on 0 sleep. AIBU to say any normal person wouldn’t leave their child

When your baby goes up what kind of family life do you want ? This will not get any better - just children get older, witness it and it makes for a miserable childhood -

There is absolutely no way Id be lying to cover his a**. Let HIM be embarrassed and explain. How on earth did you get in tow with this specimen? A father is much more than just making children! It seems many men now want the pleasure but not the responsibility. I feel sad for your children. Thats shocking.

Oh I didn't realize I had quoted something up there, that was an error. But anyways, you needed his support and he wasn't there for you.

He really doesn't give a shit about either of you.

You deserve better.

Nope, he's not a good guy. You should have asked "nicely"? BOLLOCKS to that. On Sunday, I was up at 6am to take DC somewhere, and only got back eventually at 18:00. I didn't "ask DH nicely" to sort out supper for the DC or to bath DD and put her to bed.... he just did it.
