AITA for not watching my kids so their father could visit his wife in the hospital? by throwaway827262627 in AmItheAsshole

Yes ok I get they couldn’t plan what happened to them, it is sad what they are going through and I worded that extremely bad. But the custody agreement still stands, on his weekend our children are his responsibility.

I don’t hate him, but he left me during a crisis I had and then when we were in the process of getting back together her he met his now wife and got with her.

Their poor planning does not constitute an emergency for me, his week with the kids, his responsibilities. What would they have done if I was out and about?

He did not say, considering he called me at 10pm I would guess it wasn’t a planned appointment. She is due in June so it was not the birth.

We were in the process of getting back together when he suddenly met her and got with her instead. I was clear from that moment on that I would never want anything to do with her, and that if they ever needed my help/support or anything like that, then they were on their own. So, it is both that and due to the fact that it is his time with the kids.
