Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs a person can have. Many people amazingly manage to do it all on their own, but obviously the more help the better. Even though we don't live in 1952 anymore, many families still adhere to the nuclear family structure where all of the housework responsibility is loaded the wife. This structure is getting less and less common, but you'd be surprised how many people still find this to be the ideal...

    Font - Posted by u/themissingsock1 6 hours ago 2 AITA for telling my husband he needs to start taking his own vehicle to his family's functions?
    via u/themissingsock1

    It was Reddit user u/themissingsock1 who took to the 'Am I The A-Hole' community to see if they were in the wrong for telling her husband that he needs o take a separate car when going to family functions. Ths might seem like an odd request at first glance but there is definitely more to the story.

    Font - Today was the day I decided I am no longer driving with my husband to his family functions/parties/events. Today was his cousins 36th birthday party and she sent a group text inviting everyone. Party started at 4 and we arrived at 4:15. We have a baby who is a few months shy of turning 2.

    First, the OP provides such much-needed backstory. There was clearly a particular event that took place which set her off. But indeed, there is still much more to this story.

    Font - With that being said she typically starts winding down for bed around 6:30pm. We're in bed by 730pm and she's out around 8pm. My husband is in the military and he's been home for about a month now from training/school.

    Font - So he's not used to our routine but he is in the know as I am the one that does all of the bedtime routine (dinner & snack, bath, diaper/pajamas, nursing to sleep). My husband has never wanted to partake in doing this as he thinks it is too much work so he's usually watching tv and will come to tuck us in right before I put baby to sleep.

    Font - Around 630 I told my husband we would have to start getting ready to leave for bedtime. He refused and said we needed to stay for at least four hours. 8:30 rolls around and he's still not ready to leave. Baby is tired, she is crying and she's nursing (which also upsets husband).

    Font - Baby is clearly ready to go home. My husband then proceeds to tell me that I can find a ride home. I text a friend but she's unable to pick us up as her husband works overnights and her two babies just fell asleep so she can't leave them. I then tell my husband he needs to find a ride home and I'm driving my car home.

    Font - I say goodbye to everyone and let them know it's past bedtime so we need to get going. Husband walks me to my car and as I'm getting in the car and we're away from the party he tells me I'm an AH for ditching him and leaving him to find a ride home.

    Font - I may be AH because I decided to leave the party when my husband did not want to. Forcing my husband to find a ride home.

    Font - recyclopath_· 3h Yup. That right there is divorce worthy. He basically opted out of parenthood and it's just loading it all into his wife. 49 3 Reply Share

    Font - ktdid-77 · 6h NTA. He told you and y'all's baby to find a ride home. He should have offered to find a ride home, himself. 1 712 Reply Share

    Font - Imaginary_Cow_5859 · 6h Asshole Aficionado [11] NTA this all sounds very unhealthy. He doesn't help out and won't let you keep to the baby's schedule? Has he been deployed or lived elsewhere most of the baby's life? Have they bonded? Did his family seem to think his behavior is normal? I think I'd take advantage of some therapy to try to get on the same page and have him involved in parenting.
