This is even more true when the child is very young, scared and injured.
A manaskedthe internet if he was wrong for taking a shower while his toddler was having his first nosebleed.
My wife was sitting in the recliner watching her iPad right outside the kids bedrooms.
I figure Im in the clear to take a long shower.
When I turn the shower off I hear my 3-year-old crying and screaming for daddy.
She says, No, I tried three times.
I go into his room and pick him up.
He immediately stops crying and starts trying to catch his breath.
I feel what I thought were tears dripping down my shoulder.
He says, I have a mess.
I figure tears and snot.
I grab wipes and tissue, and turn the flashlight on my phone on.
Thats when I realized he was covered in blood.
Those were not tears dripping down my shoulder.
Im tucking him in and I ask why he didnt let mommy help.
He said, Mommy didnt check on me.
Somebody never checked on me.
Now my wife is pissed at me for me expecting her to help.
Its also quite telling that she immediately jumps from lying to blaming the husband.
However, we dont actually have the moms side of things.
Complaining about the husband showering doesnt really make any sense, even though some commenters think its strange.
People can shower whenever they want.
They arent theworst parentsof all time by any means, but its not a competition.
After all, he said that somebody never checked on me.
This is not something a child would say if they felt like they were heard.
