Because he has a wife to pick up the slack. He takes the path of least resistance. OP doesn’t have a lot of good choices. If she divorces she still has to quit breastfeeding the toddler because it will be all on her to take both kids to the ER next time. Breast milk and rigid bedtime routines be damned.[/quote]

" rigid bedtime routines" What's that mean? 
[/quote]

A routine that allows only one parent to perform it.[/quote]

She's breastfeeding. But I'm sure this guy is totally dying to perform the nighttime routine and it's mean mommy who devised this plot to alienate him from the kids, since he's such a loving, patient father.[/quote]

I didn’t breastfeed my kids for long (hated it) but isn’t the toddler 14 months old? I don’t think breastfeeding at bedtime is considered terribly out of the norm is it? I had a really hard time getting one of mine to give up the bedtime bottle.

I think in the same situation my DH would rather be the parent who takes the older one to urgent care vs being left struggling with the toddler (if memory serves, they are particularly unreasonable at that age, lol).

I suppose OP could’ve just taken both of the kids to urgent care, but really, that shouldn’t be necessary. Whether she is the primary parent or whether DH has to work the next day or not. And the DH should be able to pitch in without becoming irrational. A nighttime trip to urgent care isn’t exactly an everyday situation. Imagine if a WOHM just stated that “well, it’s 8pm and I have to work tomorrow. I’m not to be bothered for any reason, even if there is a medical issue!” And then pitched a fit if she was woken. Can you imagine? [/quote]
