Parenthood is about sharing both the joyful and challenging moments together.
If you were pregnant and your husband didn’t want to go to the doctor’s appointments with you, would you be upset, or would you happily go on your own?
This woman is pregnant and excited to meet her first baby, but she has had it with her husband repeatedly skipping important doctor’s appointments.
He chose to skip the doctor’s appointment when they would find out the gender of their baby, so she decided not to share the results with him. Is that unfair, or just what he deserves?
Read the full story below for all the details.
AITA for refusing to tell my husband the gender of our baby after he skipped going to the dr appointment with me?
My husband and I are expecting.
This is our first baby and we’re excited.
Thing is, he barely attends any doctor appointments with me, and his excuses aren’t even valid.
This woman has had enough of her husband making lame excuses.
He’s willing to miss the appointment over soccer, a drink, or a board game with friends.
His response is always, “I’m not the one carrying the baby. Why do I have to go see the doctor with you?”
Last week was my final straw.
He decided not to come with her for their baby’s gender reveal appointment.
He was supposed to come with me for the baby’s gender reveal appointment.
He chose not to come last minute because his friend invited him to a fish and chips meal.
I was pretty livid but didn’t make a fuss about it.
Mom went with me instead.
When he asked about the gender, she refused to tell him.
He texted asking me to tell him the results, boy or girl?
But I refused to tell him.
He kept spam calling me, but I hung up each time.
He came home fuming, demanding I tell him the results, but I refused.
She said he’ll only get to know the gender when the baby is born.
I bluntly told him the he refused to attend the appointment, so he gets no results until after the baby is born. I said I was willing to die on this hill.
He went off calling me spiteful and immature for doing this and punishing him.
He called her dramatic.
He said he’s the father and has the right to know.
He then called me dramatic since I wasn’t alone. He said Mom was with me.
I said he gets no results, period.
His family is now pressuring her to stop
He’s been fuming about it and told his family.
They’re now pressuring me to stop messing with him and just tell him.
But I declined. AITA?
She made her point, but is withholding this information the right thing to do?
