My husband is mad because we had to come home from a weekend camp out so I could help delivery my nephews baby

Question

My nephew and his girlfriend are expecting their first child since my sister lives out of state my newphew asked if I could be their for the birth. Since I teach labor and delivery they both felt more comfortable having me their. At first my husband was not going to drive me and the RV home (an hour away) so I was going to get a rent a car.But my son and his girlfriend also wanted to go to the birth my husband decided we could all go home via the RV .So all day my husband has been acting mean &nasty when he does talk the rest of the time I'm getting the cold shoulder. How should I handle this? and do you feel he is justified with his behavior?

Answer 1

how childish, tell him to grow up, seriously!

Answer 2

He is being a jerk. He should smarten up because you do not deserve that additude. Sit him down and ask him whats his issue. My husband had a problem when I went skating for a day with my kids, cause he did not want to go. I was not going to sit on my butt all day when we could all go skating, it is not my fault he did not want to do anything. So we went the kids had a good time, I came home he was grumpy as all heck he ruined the rest of my day with his aditude, so I sat him down and asked what the heck was his problem. He said that he doesnt like to skate and he wanted us to stay at home. So I told him we went to give the kids a fun day, since we have alot of kids and can not afford to do much, so this was a great treat, they deserved it.

My point is explain to you husband it is not all about him, everyone wanted to go down and help your family with the new born. Why wouldnt you help. And it was a nice family trip, if he was not grouchy he may have loved it to.

Answer 3

He's totally unjustified.  First of all, it's not like you sprung this at the last minute.  He's known all along that you were going to attend the birth.  If anything, it's his fault for planning a trip so close to the delivery due date.  I'd try talking it through with him, but if he insists on being so self centered that he won't discuss it, then forget about it and enjoy the new baby.

Answer 4

Sounds like he is acting very immature. The birth of a child or a camping trip. I can see what is more important. Ignore him and enjoy the birth of the new baby!!!

Answer 5
