Am I being rude?

So my son is sick with the flu. He’s currently sleeping in the recliner chair. Well dinner is going to be done in about an hour or so. My son’s dad is mad at me because I won’t go eat with him or his family. I seriously don’t want to leave him. Yes he’s old enough to cry and let me know but literally this is coming out both ends. Is it really rude of me to stay with my child while my partner eats dinner with his family? I’m about to be badgered about this but I always put my baby first and if you’re wondering he’s only 2 and I’m the only one he even wants when he’s sick. So am I rude? Also, I been taking care of my child this entire time. Cleaning up everything that comes out of both ends. I’m actually pretty annoyed that he expects me to enjoy my dinner while our sick baby is downstairs by his poor self sleeping.

No. Nothing is wrong with you’re choice.

No, you were not being rude. He is being rude for not helping you.

Stay with your baby. That’s not being a rude, that’s being a mom.

No you’re not your being a mom

I see nothing wrong with you wanting to tend to your child who is sick. Baby boy is going through it and if he’s having diarrhea and throwing up I would want him in my sight at all times to be there and help soothe him as much as possible. I really hope dad can come to his senses and understand.

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for ever caring for your son especially when he is sick. I know you might feel some pressure to leave the baby alone but do what feels right to you and trust your instincts.

I’m sure your husband would want to be cared for if he was sick. Wouldn’t your son feel the same way? It’s dinner, which happens daily. Your son being sick doesn’t. No. I do not think it’s rude to miss a meal.
