“NTA. Omg the NTA of it all. Look, sure, maybe E S H on a technicality because apparently you lied about the timing. you don’t explain how 2 hours became 4, but the omission makes it seems like it was a deliberate hedging on your part. BUT EVERYONE CAN SEE WHY (except, it seems, your husband). But NTA because your husband inspires rage in so many ways for this stunt. Given his reaction, your lie by omission sounds like you did it because your husbands a jerk who acts like a teenage big brother to his son rather than his father. The babysitter thing is really getting me—”why did you guys need a babysitter when your son has you?” Because apparently he *only* has you. Apparently, you’re a single mom. And when single moms need to run errands without their kids they hire babysitters. Otherwise, they would, idk ask the kid’s dads to watch them for an afternoon. But if the kids’ dads can’t handle that, the way your husband can’t, then you need to find a responsible adult who will and from the way he responded, he is not that responsible adult. Honestly, how does your husband need this explained to him? Dude, you had to handle your own child for a few hours and you literally responded by telling your wife the house was on fire. And then you got mad when she called emergency services. Which she did because *you told her there was a fire*. So she thought her husband and child were in danger of dying. And then you got mad her for it. WT actual F. Edits: I just realized I keep editing this because I feel like I honestly cannot properly express my disbelief at the husband. Just…wow.” –
