Many people have issues getting pregnant, so if a couple actually succeeds, they should be very careful in the next nine months when it comes to the baby's well-being. Unfortunately, many things can go wrong during a pregnancy, and a couple should be equipped with all the knowledge they need to make sure everything goes smoothly. Of course, not everything is in the expecting parents' control, but they can try their best to constantly check in on the baby, as well as the mother carrying the baby. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP shared how exhausted he was after a night shift, so when his pregnant wife asked if he could drive her to a doctor's appointment in the morning when he was about to go to sleep due to the fact that she had pain in her lower belly, he said no because she should have told him earlier if she needed a ride. The thing is that she didn't know that she was going to have pain, so there was no way of planning in advance. The thing about adulthood and parenthood is that emergencies come up, so he should have been able to hand a change in plans, especially if he's about to be a dad.
At first glance, it seems like the wife is in the wrong because OP just finished a night shift and probably doesn't have the energy to drive. The thing about being an expecting dad is that OP is supposed to care if his pregnant wife is in pain because it's probably an emergency relating to the pregnancy. Even if his wife wasn't pregnant, he still should have cared about her pain. We get that it's not safe to drive when you're exhausted, but he could have taken a cab or an Uber with her to emotionally support her and see if everything was okay.
If he thinks that everything's going to be planned out in advance once they have a baby, he's got a seriously rude awakening coming his way. People always say that we'll never understand what parenthood is like until we become parents ourselves. When the baby comes, he or she is not going to let OP sleep after a night shift because babies don't care if you're tired. If he's annoyed about having to drive his pregnant wife to the doctor when she's in pain, maybe he should reconsider becoming a dad. He needs to reevaluate where his priorities lie and treat his wife right.
