What would you do?

Bf (29) is at home playing a game. Me (25) just got home I’m 38 almost 39 weeks pregnant and was sent to the hospital today for some scans but baby is fine. I also have our 4 year old with me and she has a high fever and hives. Our apartment doesn’t have set parking so if I get home late especially on Friday’s I’m looking for parking for over an hour. I call him to come get her so she can lay down and take a shower it’s 9pm and he tells me “hold on I’m on the game I can’t quit” makes me wait 10-12 mins for him to come get our sick child. Which would you do in my situation?

I'd do the hazard lights and take her up, then follow it up with going off after laying her down. Dude doesn't have hospital priorities straight at all.

My husband (27) and I (27) both play video games but more so on his end. When I call and need him for something, he’s there. If it’s not important, I don’t mind waiting. But when it’s important, he comes right away regardless if he’s in a game or not. I would have a conversation with him after settling everything down .

Hazard lights take her up and settled and go off on his ass

He can find a place to hide if it's something like COD, or ask his teammates to cover him for a moment

Just wanna throw it in there that when I came upstairs after finding a spot (like 2 hours later) my mucus plug came out

1 & 3

My mucus plug came out and I’m 26 weeks. Fortunately it’ll regenerate and won’t mean labor is here, but you’re definitely close! Make sure it’s not bloody, if it is go to the hospital asap. Your bf should definitely be putting in more effort… you’re carrying his baby that’s wild.

@Kianna yea it wasn’t bloody or anything but I’m having cramping in my stomach and lower back not sure if that’s normal

It is since you’re so close to labor. Your body is prepping. The added stress probably isn’t helping. As long as your water hasn’t broken and there’s no hint of blood you’re okay. You are very close! I went into labor at 39 weeks and three days. I had a lot of bloody mucus plug come out the day prior during the day and I gave birth technically 2 days after at around 5pm

My husband used to game like that and it made me so mad, but he killed himself 2 months and I promise I'd give anything to be annoyed at his gaming and other silly things just to have him back. Sometimes, you have to choose what is more important. My husband being here was more important to me. Every day without him hurts so much. Just talk to your man and tell him how important it is to you that he helps. Express that the game isn't real life, and if you ask for his help, you need it now, not later.

Girl, after taking your daughter in and laying her down, he should have parked your car for you. He's inconsiderate.

@Susan I'm so sorry for your loss. However, neglecting her and their daughter when she needs him doesn't take away how inconsiderate he is towards her. Yes, you miss their presence, but that doesn't make their actions valid. What's important is that he starts putting her and the kids first. I wouldn't suggest that she put up with this simply because he may not be around to do it someday. A man can be there alive, but I wouldn't consider this really "being there." What you just said implies that her feelings aren't valid and she should appreciate it while he's still living or else she might miss it while he's gone. He's not being a great partner to her when he does things like this. She definitely deserves better treatment from him. I get the gist of what you are saying, but if he chose a game over his family, knowing his kid is sick and his pregnant gf was just seen for issues at labor and delivery then he's got bigger problems than just being distracted by a game. His priorities are all out of order.
