Child's father has been out with friends and family for over 13 hours now, I'm pregnant with a toddler & everyone knows. The "event" was supposed to last just a few hours so as his friends/family wouldn't you ask him why he isn't at home yet? Because personally I would & yes he is responsible for coming home himself but it makes me upset that these people seem so fake.

How do you know they haven't asked him if he needs to get home and he has said all is good? They can't and aren't responsible for making him go home. The only person at fault here is your partner

If there is anything I've learnt, you can not control what other people do, even if it makes total sense to you.
My partner used to be a bit of a loose cannon many years ago. Friends and family would try to encourage him to come home, but he didn't care.
I used to blame my in-laws and his friends all the time - but ultimately, its his decision.
It sucks, big time. But nothing you can do x

No. I’d never ask someone else why they’ve not gone home yet. It’s not my business.
Especially as I would be fine with my partner staying out as long as he wanted to. I’m not his keeper. And if the roles were reversed, he wouldn’t ever ask me to come home either nor expect me to.
We each are happy for the other to do things and enjoy themselves.

He’s an adult, why should others be responsible for what he is doing?

he lets u be alone when youre pregnant when he's not at work????🤯😣🥵
if mine did that, id divorce right awayy honestly
For everyone saying it's his fault/responsibility, I mentioned in the description of the poll that it's his responsibility overall. The issue was his friends/family (people who I associate me and my kids with) enabling behavior that personally if I noticed my brother/friends doing I'd say something out of respect. Like how if someone close to you chooses to waste money, do drugs, gamble, etc., you would most likely say something so they stop making bad decisions or atleast make them aware of it. Right?
So my question was more of how many people just don't really care what their friends/family do or if it's a conscious choice to enable the bad behavior.
Also, I'm aware I hold him to quite a high standard compared to others but that's just our personal preferences. Ty for the responses!
Additionally, after seeing some responses, it does make me wonder how many people see the action of a father going a full day away from their family as completely normal/acceptable. So that may be some insight to think about too for me.
