He Tricked His Wife Into Thinking Their Baby Was Kidnapped In An Effort To Teach Her A Lesson
A man recently learned a few months ago that his wife likes to do something that he considers to be downright dangerous.
When his wife orders lunch at a specific place close to them, she thinks it’s perfectly fine to go inside of the restaurant while leaving their infant son all alone by himself in the car.
While his wife considered this to be appropriate behavior, he did not, and as soon as he learned about her doing this, he insisted she had to stop.
“I told her I was not comfortable with her leaving him in the car alone even for a minute and she told me she’s been doing it since he was born and it’s always been fine,” he explained.
“She told me she does it to pick up food, run into the post office or pharmacy, etc. I was floored. We don’t live in a horrible area but it’s also not super safe either. I told her to not ever do this again.”
His wife did consider how leaving their son alone in the car does put him in jeopardy, and she resolved to never do this again.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t quite telling him the truth when she promised that she would not leave their son in the car by himself after he found out.
Yesterday, he spent time at his brother’s place, but then on his way home, he noticed his wife was at a nearby gas station.
His wife wasn’t in her car, and he thought she had gone into the gas station to get something to eat since they frequently stop there for snacks.

He pulled up to his wife’s car, planning to park and then say hello to her. As he pulled up next to his wife’s car, he was horrified to find that their infant son was in the car all alone, and his wife had not even locked him in there.
“I don’t know what came over me, but in that moment I decided to take my son and put him into my car (he’s got a car seat in there too),” he said.
“I then drove to the other side of the gas station parking lot and waited for my wife to come out. It took SIX MINUTES for her to appear.”
“When she saw that he was gone she looked stunned for a second and then started to frantically look around and cry.”
His wife took out her cellphone, which he figured she was about to dial 911 on, and then he swooped in to tell her the truth.
He drove his car over to her, parked it, and then opened up the back door so she could see their son sitting safely inside.
His wife quickly went from thankful nothing bad had happened to their son, to absolutely furious.
He didn’t feel bad for what he did, and he pointed out to his wife that he really did hope that she got the hint now.
“It was so easy for me to pull up and take him,” he continued. “No one else at the gas station even noticed!”
“So if he really was taken there would’ve been no help and it would’ve been 100% her fault.”

His wife thought his warning was mean and depraved, and she currently believes that he owes her an apology.
Do you think he owes his wife an apology?
