Would you be mad

Nah that’s just selfish behaviour

I would definitely be hurt and pissed. It sounds like he has a drinking problem if he feels the need to get that drunk midweek right as his baby is about to come. Feels like a bigger problem than just what happened tonight, which is part of why it would feel like such a big deal. How are you supposed to feel like you can rely on him, during one of the most vulnerable times in life?

What a tool. Of course you need him to be there for you, physically, emotionally, soberly...! I'd be having a very real conversation with him

Nah, you’re absolutely not overreacting. You’re 38 weeks pregnant, could go into labour literally any day, and asked him to ease up on drinking for a very temporary period so he could safely get you and your child where they need to be. That’s bare minimum partner/father responsibility.

The issue isn’t even “having a drink,” it’s getting so drunk he’s passed out on the floor and incapable of helping if an emergency happened. Imagine if your waters had gone or something was wrong with baby — you’d have been stuck relying on someone who could barely walk.

Pregnancy already involves women sacrificing their body, comfort, sleep, mobility, and freedom for 9+ months. Asking him not to get blackout drunk for the last couple of weeks is hardly some huge unfair demand.

Honestly, I’d be furious too. And I’d absolutely start arranging a backup plan now, grandparents on standby for your son and another way to get to hospital, because he’s shown you he’s currently not reliable in an emergency.

I’d be mad too.. with my youngest we were told he could come early so my partner didn’t drink for 3 weeks without even asking till our boy was born. He usually just drinks every other Saturday as he works 12 hours a day with a manual job Monday to Friday so that’s his “down time”
