My kids were playing at the school yard and my 3 year old son had jumped off of a second step of the playground and cracked his head open there was blood everywhere. He bleed pretty bad but it was more blood then anything the cut wasn't really that bad. But it scared me at the time so I rushed him home ripped off my white tee-shirt and applied pressure and realized it looked a lot worse then it was. But before I figured out that it wasn't that bad I had my 9 year old son call his dad at work and I asked my husband to come home just in case I had to take him to the ER. Well guess what 2 hours later he still isn't home. He just called me and asked how my son was doing and I told him he was fine and to go back to work. And hung up the phone. How the heck is it going to take anyone 2 hours to check on their child imagine if he did need to go to the hospital. I just don't understand how he just didn't turn around tell his boss there was a family emergency and walk out. I'm so upset right now.

When it comes to my kids I get so upset when my Hubby does not react as much as I think he should. If something is wrong with my kids and my Hubby seems indiffernt I get so angry. Im sure he was worried he just handled it different. My son cut his head open and it bled so bad I couldnt help but make this whimpering sound the whole time I was helping him. I scared him worse then him getting hurt. It was a tiny cut but the blood was gushing. I guess head wounds blead really bad. I didnt know until I found out the hard way.
Talk it out with your Hubby and let him know how this all made you feel. Maybe he just didnt understand how this came acrost to you.

It's not easy to be a breadwinner and be a father at the same time. Try to talk to your husband and ask him the reason for his lack of sensitivity.
It might have been a nightmare for you seeing your child bleeding. And your husband may not know what you were feeling. Talk to your husband. And ask him who comes first in his life, his family or his work?
Good luck

Gosh! I understand you're very upset right now and I think you've had enough reason to be. However, please do not complicate the matters by starting a fight with your hubby. I am appalled by his lack of interest in family emergencies but I have to find out why. I am sure you won't like to know you married a heartless dude so I guess you'll have to confront him and ask him gently of his reasons.
Your son is his son as well. I'm sure he's concerned with the welfare of his kids, maybe he didn't realize yet the gravity of the situation or maybe he trusts you so much to have done the best that you could to alleviate the situation. Still, it isn't an excuse to call after 2 hours, so you better ask him the real score.
Just be thankful that you son is alright now. My! You are one great mother! You didn't panic in the situation, some Moms would have freak and would have worsen the situation. I salute you raynebow!
