A friend of mine had an appoint to take her child to the dr. Her hubby said he wouldnt go because he didnt want to leave that early since he had to work even though the dr was only like 10 miles from where he worked. So she took a good friend who took off work to go with. The dr told her that he tought surgery needed to be done because he said there was a chance that it could be cancer. So she said ok lets do it. Well she told her hubby and he was mad saying she takes the kids to the dr for every sniffle and it cost him$$. He was mad at her but wasnt there to make this scary decision he wouldnt go w/ her but got up early to look at girls on the comp. What do you all think wouldnt you be upset at your spouse if you had the same situation?

The guy sounds like a total self centered a**hole to me. No matter what the reason for the appointment he should have been there for his kid. If my wife told me she had an appointment to take one of my kids to the doctor I would be there with them if I could. I'm in the Navy so if possible I would talk to someone to try and get out of to go even though chances of that would hard in my case. At the same time if I was unable to go and my wife found something out that serious I would be upset if she did not have them go ahead with an operation. I think someone really needs to have a talk with guy and see what is going on inside that head of his. Money should not be an issue when it comes to family.

It is a tough thing, but when a child is sick, it does not matter who takes him/her to the Dr. If the doctor considered the child needed a surgery, I don't think he performed the surgery right there and then. Preps. had to be made, like lab tests.
If cancer was suspected, then I imagine getting hysterical and calling the father and everybody she knew, that is something a mother would take lightly. They probably gave the child a little biopsy, and that is not that much costly.
It is immature to want to know who is right and who is wrong, there is a sick child who needs the parents more than ever.
Concentrate on getting the kid healthy again, the kid is most important.
As far as the husband being mad, he'll get over it. I won't panic over that. But I would panic over my sick child.

YES. either he wants his kids to be happy and healthy, or he just wants to take chances with their health, and hope for the best (if he even has hope). the daddy here never hits a doctor's office, and it drives me nuts...he acts like after those thirty seconds or so he contributed where ever, he's done til he wants to start again.

Yes, I would and if you are married to this guy it sounds like you would be better off without him. Why is he looking at "girls" on the Internet? Isn't this the same as cheating? Would he like it if you had to look at guys on the Internet when he needed you?

oh boy! Would I be mad. He would be lucky if he had a family still there when he got home. No money or amount should matter when it comes to your childs health. He needs serious help.

It sounds like your friends husband is a worthless piece of sh**. What kind of man is more concerned about his money over the health of his child?

obviously this man has something deeper going on than this - maybe he is scared and using it to place the blame on someone else and that maybe by over reacting things might get better.
sounds like he needs to have a chat about his feelings to someone close to him - look further / deeper than the surface and see if there is more to this

Yeah, I would be upset. Sounds like he needs a bit of a compassion check.

Hell yeah! mad as hell... dishonest on me?! If he had the audacity to inform human beings he develop into taking under consideration dishonest on me i'd be one pissed camper. yet i'd communicate rationally to him to be certain why it develop into so major to inform the international fairly of me. the only person that would want to likely replace what you had to get replaced to sense smooth in our relationship. a minimum of tell me first.
