My MIL Called with an 'Emergency' During My First Night Out in 7 Months - I Refused to Come Home
A 33-year-old woman's mother-in-law has 4 children but only ever asks her husband (35M) for help—money, rides, yard work, everything. It caused so much tension that 6 months ago, after giving birth, when MIL suddenly "needed" him 4 days a week, the woman threatened divorce. He finally set boundaries—now he only helps MIL once every couple weeks. MIL has met their 7-month-old baby exactly once. Then came the woman's first night out since giving birth—dinner and drinks with her best friend who moved away 5 years ago, planned 2 months in advance. Around 7:30 PM, her husband called: MIL needs to go to the hospital, he needs the car, she needs to come home NOW. He didn't know why MIL needed the hospital—she hadn't told him. The woman refused to come home without more information. He called back furious: MIL tripped and hurt her ankle but was still walking. The woman told him to call one of his 3 siblings and stayed out. When she got home at midnight, he was furious—she'd "prioritized fun over a family emergency." But MIL never went to the hospital. She was "fine now." Was the woman wrong to refuse? You decide.
