Man's girlfriend goes into labor during a visitation with him and his ex's 4-year-old son, he demands his ex pick up the child, then loses it when she refuses because she's been drinking: ‘It would be irresponsible of me to drive’

When one becomes a parent, they make a promise to the little one they've brought into the world, swearing that they will never put them in harm's way if they can help it. We all know that you cannot protect your child from everything, because we are not higher beings. However, all it takes is one selfish decision to put your child in danger… Luckily, the mother in the story you're about to read refuses to abide by her ex's demands.

The mother who shared this story explains that she had been drinking one night while her ex-partner had visitation with their 4-year-old son. This ex-partner now has a new partner, who is pregnant. Unluckily, this new partner goes into labor during his visitation period, so he calls the mother at random, demanding that she come pick up their son. Given that the mother had not prepared to be some on-call relief figure, she had a few drinks that evening. Obviously, she refuses to make the five-minute drive to get their son; why would she unnecessarily put her and her son's life in danger, especially when the father could make the drive, too?

It's really easy to make the right decisions in contrasting moments like these. The mother made the right decision, but this begs the question: Should the father face repercussions for even suggesting this? What do you think?
