Dad Texts Wife The Kitchen Is On Fire Because He’s Mad She Left Him With Baby Longer Than Expected, It Backfires When Cops Show Up
It’s no secret that being a stay-at-home mom is one of the most draining, physically and mentally demanding duties many women go through at some point in their lives. Studies suggest that stay-at-home moms report more depression, sadness, and anger, and that’s without taking into account societal pressure or getting overlooked altogether.
So this story from a fully exhausted 31-year-old SAH mom with a husband who’s working full-time shows the level of insanity so many women experience in what should be the comfort of their home. “My sister’s wedding is coming up and we already received an invite, but the thing is, I had to go dress shopping and get my hair done. I asked my husband on his day off if he could stay with our son for just 2 hours,” the woman who goes by u/Adjust-Ad3654 wrote on the AITA subreddit.
It seemed that the husband was less than happy with the prospect but finally “he shrugged, saying ‘fine, go… but 2 hours and not a minute more!’” Not only did he keep calling her every ten minutes asking when she’d be back, he sent her heart to her heels by texting something no mom would ever wish to hear. If that’s not manipulation at its worst, I don’t know what is.
Read the full story below, and be sure to share your thoughts in the comment section.

Wow. Just... wow. This dude has serious problems that need to be addressed immediately. He thinks she lied to him, which is an unbelievably moronic thing to say, so his solution is to lie to her about the kitchen being on fire; WTF? Him and his family all sound like utter c**ts. He's throwing a temper tantrum because he has to look after the son he created and his family are angry because it was his one day off; He should’ve been looking forward to spending a whole day with his son. What's the point of being a parent if he's going to whinge about spending an incredibly short amount of time with his child? If what this woman says is completely accurate, there are so many red flags it looks like a field of poppies… or a field of red flags even :-) This is abhorrent, it’s emotional abuse. Either she needs to leave him or they both go to some sort of counselling. For the sake of their kid, at least. Hopefully their son will never know about this.

I don't think the counseling will work on his end (especially if he has to pay for it), but worth a shot. His family reinforces his behaviour by taking his side - he obviously looks to them for confirmation that his wife is the bad one in every situation.

I know most people don’t like suggesting divorce…but yeah do it while you haven’t been out of the work force for too long. Do not trust this man, he’s emotionally abusive and his family supports it. Sharing joint custody is better than getting deeper and deeper into that.

He's actually abusive and needs to grow up, show her some respect, look after his child as well. ( he's not the babysitter!) Im glad the sister called the cops. Hopefully next time mum goes out she can enjoy 4 hours on her own.

I don't think he'll learn from the consequences, since he blames his wife and got his family to join in the chorus of disapproval.
