Desperate Sister Asks for Help with Clueless Husband

Imagine having four kids and your husband doesn’t even know what school they go to! A woman reached out to her sister for help when her mom couldn’t come to assist after her scheduled c-section. The mom-to-be wanted her sister to remind her husband of the kids’ schedules and needs, but the sister couldn’t promise to check in on time every day. When the sister pointed out that if the husband couldn’t handle basic parenting tasks, they had bigger problems, the mom-to-be got upset and hung up.
