His reaction is ridiculous but so is yours. You both sound so immature and you need to work on yourselves if you're raising a child.

The doctors appointment is more of a priority over socializing with friends… especially while unemployed ma’am.
No one is saying that he shouldn’t go to the Dr appt. I think his reaction was way over the top and ridiculous. Taking an uber introduces zero hardship.
And even if he didn’t want to do it, he is an adult and should be capable of having a normal conversation. I can’t believe that anyone is defending his over the top and mean reaction.
No one is saying she can't socialize with baby while unemployed. Just not during her husband's already scheduled Dr app. She should prior to or following his appt.
OP's reaction of not being able to talk to him is BS. Who did she marry and have a baby with?... A one eyed monster?

This isn’t spouse vs spouse, this is family needs and in this case, it’s reasonable for the toddler to get to go somewhere and use the car their car seat is in.
Can you imagine telling a friend “I’d love to come over but Joe has to go to the dentist, so what about next week?”
But overall I agree - two stressed parents and both just need to give each other a bit more grace.
Yes I can imagine this in a one car family that just had one spouse lose their job. If money is tight, you aren’t ubering around to have a good time during the work week.
