When you grow up with a person and you love them, you don’t think about how their behavior might be seen from the perspective of other people. You don’t think that they might be viewed as selfish and inconsiderate, because you know them and you know that they are good people. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, people grow apart and start to see each other differently. This man on Reddit has a brother who is a single dad to a 3-year-old kid. The man on Reddit also has a demanding job as a nurse, so he can’t always watch his nephew. But when the man on Reddit’s brother asks him to babysit, he always obliges. This time, however, he had a date and didn’t want to cancel it. So, he “entered my house with my nephew and left the house immediately.” The nurse was in the shower when the nephew came to him alone. He had no idea where his dad was and that’s when the situation started to escalate. Scroll down to read the full story.

Is ruining a date night an emergency? 😕
A brother who is a single dad to a 3-year-old has asked his brother for help watching his son while he goes on dates. The brother, a nurse with unpredictable shifts, reluctantly agreed to watch his nephew. When the brother dumped the kid off while the other was in the shower, the brother drew the line. He sent a text telling the brother to pick his son up or else he'd call the police for child abandonment. This caused the brother to come home, angry and blaming the other for ruining his date night. The brother refused to lie to the date and make an excuse for the brother. Is the brother right for ruining the date night or was it an emergency?
