After a long day of work and parenting, it makes sense to want to relax.

In today’s story, a wife and mom relaxes by watching a movie on her iPad, and her husband relaxes by taking a long shower.

The problem is that when he gets out of the shower he hears his son calling for him, and he is upset that his wife didn’t check on their son to see what was wrong.

Let’s see how the story plays out…

I took a shower at midnight while my wife was watching TV. Who’s the AH?

My wife was sitting in the recliner watching her iPad right outride the kids bedrooms.

I figure I’m in the clear to take a long shower.

When I turn the shower off, I hear my 3 year old crying and screaming for daddy.

I hurry.

As I’m going through the family room, I look at my wife (sitting watching her iPad) and say, “You couldn’t calm him down?”

She says, “No, I tried three times.”

He goes to his son’s room.

I go into his room and pick him up.

He immediately stops crying and starts trying to catch his breath. I feel what I thought were tears dripping down my shoulder.

I think: “poor guy has been so upset for so long; long enough for my wife to come in three times.”

I lay him in bed and start tucking him in.

He says, I have a mess. I figure tears and snot. I grab wipes and tissue, and turn the flashlight on my phone on.

According to his son, his mom didn’t check on him.

That’s when I realized he was covered in blood.

His first bloody nose, and it was bad: all over his face, arms, clothes, stuffy, blanket – and I’m covered.

Those were not tears dripping down my shoulder.

I get him cleaned up, and asked my wife to shout the bloody items while I get him cleaned up.

I’m tucking him in and I ask why he didn’t let mommy help.

He said, “Mommy didn’t check on me. Somebody never checked on me.”

Both parents are mad.

Now my wife is mad at me for me expecting her to help.

I’m mad at her for not taking care of our son while I’m in the shower and she’s watching her iPad, and I’m mad that she’s mad I expected her to help.

So, who’s the AH??

It seems understandable for him to be upset especially when his wife lied that she checked on their son.

I wonder why she didn’t check on him.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted…

This reader thinks the fact that his wife lied is the real issue.

Another reader thinks the wife should’ve checked on their son.

This reader called his wife “horrible.”

Another person is also bothered by the fact that his wife lied.

Another reader pointed out that the issue is not the shower.

I feel bad for that little boy.

His mom really should’ve checked on him.
