Even though you have a big family, it doesn’t mean you will always count on them; that is a hard lesson many have to learn the wrong way. For example, this husband never expected his family to leave them hanging when he most needed them, but he took his revenge and punished them the best way he thought.
A woman on Reddit shared how she thought her husband was being unreasonable after he canceled a family trip because he was mad at her and her children; however, as she explained the situation, she would look worse as a wife.
RELATED STORIES
OP said that she has been with her husband for four years, and they have a three-year-old son together, but she has a seventeen-year-old son and a nineteen-year-old daughter from a previous marriage.
One weekend, her husband was in charge of taking care of the youngest boy because she was going to have lunch with her brother to meet his new girlfriend. However, there was a family emergency, and her husband had to rush to the hospital to meet his dad, so he couldn’t babysit anymore.
He asked her children to watch for their brother, but both of them refused. While the daughter said she had to study, the son said he would hang out with his friend. OP still went to her lunch, and her husband had to take the kid to the hospital.
Of course, the husband was visibly upset and decided to cancel this year’s vacation and spend the holidays with his parents. Meanwhile, OP’s children want to be with their father, and no one is on speaking terms.
No Vacations This Year
Who’s Being Unreasonable?
OP returned to her post and made an update and an edit, none of which were well received by the users who intervened on the matter. She justified that any of her kids are used to watching the youngest son and that she feels like her husband abandoned them instead of trying to work things out.
There wasn’t a comment that agreed with OP’s point of view. Instead, most users called her and her children selfish and couldn’t understand how they could be so indifferent when there was a family emergency.
While some people gave the daughter the benefit of the doubt because she had to study, others said she could take care of the kid in the meantime. They also criticized her excuse; no one thought that meeting your brother’s girlfriend for the first time was a good reason to be a bad wife.
