It’s so hard when your kid is in the hospital. But lots of things can make it even harder.

Not getting adequate support is a big issue. Check out why this woman doesn’t agree with her husband.

AITA for not being sympathetic with my boyfriend about his hate for hospitals.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now and we have a 3 month old son; I’ll call him A.

I also have a 6 yr old from a different relationship and his kindergarten graduation is tomorrow morning.

That made things tricky.

‘A’ has been in the hospital since March 5th and it is currently May 15th. He has had to have 3 surgeries and they are thinking about discharging him TOMORROW.

But they need someone to go over something in the morning when trying to talk to S; he straight up said “I’m not staying here another day” and he’s been home more times than me.

I work 20+ hours a week and if I have the day off I’m in the hospital (which is 1.5 hours from where we live) and my boyfriend does NOT have a job.

She’s not impressed…

His “excuse” for not wanting to stay here is he’s already been here for a long time and he’s been here for a week after he was home for a week. And he hates hospitals so much that he doesn’t want to be here anymore.

I think that he is being selfish not wanting to stay in the hospital with our child. AITA?

Here is what folks are saying.

It’s not a good idea.

It’s definitely not good for the kids.

Yep. See him for what he is.

Yes. What an awful excuse.

Exactly. Meditate or something.

Ditch him.
