This father had to take a drastic step to make her wife realize her mistake
A father was extremely angry after he got to know his wife’s appalling habit two months ago. It was only by making her feel worried that he could make her perceive how severe the behavior she showed was. However, he did feel fear about how things went too far.
One day, when they were ordering lunch for themselves via the Subway app, he asked his wife to select a location with a drive-thru so that they didn't need to actually go inside and collect their order. His hesitation was that he didn’t want to have to go through the fuss of taking their son out of his car seat and then popping him straight back in again.
It was at this point the man’s wife disclosed something that disturbed him. He told him that there was no issue leaving the baby in the car to run and pick it up fast. Talking to Reddit, the distressed husband wrote that he had no clue about her wife doing that. He told her that he was not okay with her leaving their son in the car all alone even for a minute. To this, she replied that she had been doing that since he was born and it had always been fine.
She revealed that she did it when she went to pick up food, run into the post office or pharmacy, etc. He was shocked. He said that the area they were living in was not too dangerous but they could not claim it to be super safe as well. He warned her to never do it again. After he approached her about the matter, the wife explained that she had never stopped to think about the possible dangers and gave him her word that she would stop doing it from then on.
However, through her actions later, it became quite evident that she had not taken his caution seriously. While the dad was driving home from his brother’s house, he caught sight of his wife’s car parked outside the local gas station. He thought that she might have gone to get snacks and therefore decided to surprise her and say hello.
When he pulled up and parked next to his wife’s car, the original poster was enraged to see that his son had yet again been left by himself in his car seat. Not only that but the car was unlocked. The dad further told the readers that he didn't know what he was thinking at that moment, he just took out his son and got him seated in his car. He then drove to the opposite side of the gas station and waited for his wife to come out.
It took 6 minutes for her to finally come out of the store. When she noticed that her son was not there, she was taken aback for a second and then started searching for him desperately. She began crying. He made it clear to the readers that he didn't stretch it for too long and immediately went over to show her that their child was safe and sound after she pulled out her phone, probably to call the police.
At first, his wife was grateful to see that their son was absolutely fine. However, that relaxation quickly turned into anger as she realized what her husband had done. He explained himself by saying that it was necessary for him to teach her a lesson and blamed her for breaking her promise, but his wife turned everything on him and called him cruel and psychotic.
