Bit of an awkward one. DD is in early labour but Hubby (her step dad) is refusing to take her partner to the hospital with her as he really doesn't like her. He will take me & DD, but DD wants her new partner (who now lives with her) as a birth partner too. I'm caught between all this. I don't want to upset DD but Hubby is a stubborn mule. :(

Hubby sounds like a dick and should get over himself.

Hope all goes well for DD and baby is healthy. Smile

Get a cab if needs be and leave grumpy at home.

I think a taxi is the best bet (ouch) but better than the grief!

The poor girl is in labour, don't worry about upsetting hubby, tbh he sounds a bit self important

Actually I think your sd needs to tread carefully, your dd is giving birth to your grandchild and he won't take her partner to hospital. If I was your dd I would be telling her sd that if he can't accept partner then he's choosing nor t to be part if their life's

Your partner needs to get over himself. This moment is all about your DD and his wishes are irrelevant.

Tell him to grow up. Now's the time to step up to the mark and show what sort of man he is.

It does make me cross that he is being difficult but there's a long back story. Still, I think he should suck it up for this important event. She doesn't need the extra hassle, there are things we can sort out (or accept) in time.

Tell your DH to grow up. This is an important time for DD to have the people she wants around her, if she wants her partner there then it is a really horrible thing for your DH to do to her to try to deny this at a time when she is very vulnerable. You need to be on your daughter's side here. If your DH has a problem with this young man then tonight is really not the night to do anything about it.
