He Threatened To Call The Cops After His Daughter’s School Wouldn’t Let Him Pick Her Up, And His Wife Is Angry That He Acted “Rudely” To The School Staff And Other Parents
Just last week, this 29-year-old guy’s wife, who is 35, went away on a business trip. So, he was left to look after his 9-year-old daughter by himself.
He didn’t think this was a huge deal, either, and not much had changed at home. The only difference was that he had to drop off and pick up his daughter from school instead of his wife, who typically handles that responsibility.
“And I had to take a few hours off of work to take care of her, which I’m more than happy to do,” he added.
However, the first day his wife was gone, he went to pick up his daughter from school, and there was a major issue. Since the school staff did not know him, they wouldn’t allow him to take his daughter home.
Now, he realized that the school was just doing its job and looking after his daughter’s security. But, even after he explained how he was his daughter’s father, it didn’t make any difference.
“Even my daughter told them I was her dad, and they still wouldn’t let me take her,” he explained.
So, after 20 minutes of back-and-forth between him and the school staff, some other parents started to get involved. Then, he ultimately got fed up and threatened to call the cops if they did not allow him to take his daughter.
The threat did work, and the school let him leave with his child. Afterward, he thought the situation was over, too.
Well, that was until about one hour after he arrived home. At that point, his wife gave him a call, and was seriously angry.

Apparently, some of the children’s parents had been complaining about the situation in their classroom group chat. He attempted to detail the whole situation to his wife, and she sort of understood his perspective.
“But she was still mad at me because I went too far by calling the cops, to which I told her I had no option,” he recalled.
Anyway, for the rest of the school week, he did not encounter any more problems while trying to pick up his daughter. Still, some of the other parents started giving him bad looks, and he just tried to ignore them.
His wife finally returned home yesterday from her work trip, too. However, she did not forget about the incident at their daughter’s school.
She is still really angry at him for being “rude” to both the school staff and her friends. Yet, he simply doesn’t understand how he was in the wrong at all.
“I honestly don’t get how I was rude. If anything, the school is the rude one for not letting me take my daughter even when I explained and gave proof of being the father,” he vented.
Thankfully, since his wife is home, there haven’t been any more issues with the school. Nonetheless, with her still angry at him, he’s now wondering whether he really was a jerk to the school staff and the other parents.
Can you understand why he was frustrated? At the same time, isn’t it a good thing that the school and other parents cared so much about his daughter’s safety that they didn’t want her to leave with someone they didn’t know? Could he have handled this situation better?
