His Brother Freaked Out And Drove Away When His Wife Went Into Labor, So He Yelled At Him That He’s Going To Be A Terrible Dad
This 30-year-old man was recently over at his 34-year-old brother’s house when his brother’s 31-year-old wife went into labor.
Since his brother and his sister-in-law live in the country, they don’t always have the best cell service, and you have to walk up their driveway to get a better signal.
The plan was for his brother to drive his sister-in-law to the hospital as soon as she went into labor, in lieu of calling an ambulance for her.
However, his brother freaked out, hopped into his car, and took off, leaving him alone with his sister-in-law.
Since he does not drive, he ran down the driveway, hoping to have enough of a signal to dial 911 and get his sister-in-law an ambulance ride.
It took him a long time to get a signal at all, and then when he finally was able to dial 911, it was forever until the ambulance showed up.
He nearly had to deliver his sister-in-law’s baby alone, but thankfully as soon as she got into the back of the ambulance, that was when she gave birth.
“This whole time, my brother had just disappeared,” he explained. “He finally turned up at the hospital about 8 hours after he disappeared.”
“Apparently, he’d gone to our dad’s house until he found out my sister-in-law gave birth and made my brother go see her.”

“I yelled at him outside the hospital for being so…stupid. He told me that he just got scared and didn’t know what to do. I told him that he’s going to be a [terrible] dad if he keeps reacting like this.”
His brother actually burst into tears after he finished screaming at him and accused him of being mean.
He couldn’t help but lose it on his brother, as he was acting so childish when he should have been a support system for his own wife.
He also believes his brother owes his sister-in-law an apology for ditching her while she was in labor.
His brother snapped that he doesn’t get what he’s going through. He does understand his brother was terrified, but he’s disappointed he couldn’t get control of himself and step up to deal with the situation at hand.
He’s left wondering if it was out of line for him to yell at his brother.
