“AITA For Interrupting Husband’s ‘Free Time’ Because I’m Sick?”

“AITA For Interrupting Husband’s ‘Free Time’ Because I’m Sick?”

While pregnancies are often accompanied by what’s called a pregnancy glow, they also tend to be accompanied by things far less positive, like swollen feet or morning sickness, just to name a couple.

This woman, pregnant with her second child, was no exception. She, too, experienced morning sickness, which would seemingly ruin mornings not only for her, but for her husband, too. That’s because by asking him to look after their toddler for a minute when she was sick, the woman would disturb his free time, which eventually even made her wonder if she was a jerk for doing so.

Morning sickness is something many moms-to-be have to go through

Some people, however, believed that she was a jerk, but not for the reason she thought

My thought too. Sounds like he's just ducking out of hs responsibilities and has gaslit his wife into thinking that this is normal.

The first sentence says it all: "... am pregnant with MY second child". When does she ever get free time? And why have another kid with someone like that?

NTA re: The husband is the AH, BUT I would NOT have had another child with him, and I wish she''d thought of that before getting pregnant again. she's literally trapping herself in a relationship that, seems to me, toxic. It's not pre-contraception times any more for women. I hear you have to pay for it in some places, but it's better to get them and see what kind of parent he is with the kid she already has, first, than end up being stuck with a husband like that. I'd be interested to know if they BOTH wanted kids? If so, hopefully it's a 'fool me once' and not a 'fool me twice' thing, when it comes to her s****y husband.
