She Screamed At Her Husband In The Middle Of Disney World And Called Him A Deadbeat Dad For Missing Their Son’s Birthday Dinner
I know a few people who value sleep so much that they have to plan things around their sleep and nap schedules.
However, once you start missing important plans because you are sleeping, that can be irritating to your friends and family.
One woman recently snapped at her husband because he missed her son’s birthday dinner on their Disney World trip, which she put a lot of effort into planning.
She and her husband are in their early 30s and have a few kids together. Unfortunately, her husband’s sleep habits have caused a lot of tension in their relationship, and things came to a head on a recent vacation.
Her husband has an odd habit where he will stop doing anything at the drop of a hat so he can go to bed or take a nap. He can fall asleep just about anywhere at any time.
She first noticed this habit when they first started dating, and he’d stop texting her out of the blue, apologize, and say he had fallen asleep hours later.
While that’s fairly common, it’s not if it’s happening all the time, at any time of day.
“When we moved in together, he would constantly, without warning, go to bed,” she explained.
“He would get up in the middle of watching movies claiming he needed to go to the bathroom, and then 30 minutes later, I would go upstairs to find him asleep.”

Her husband missed several board game nights, movie nights, etc., because at the start or in the middle, he’d sneak away and go to bed without warning.
Her husband has had medical testing done, and there hasn’t been any kind of diagnosis that would explain his sleep habits.
When they started having kids, and after a few serious conversations about his sleep habits, her husband started getting better about ditching her and others to go to sleep.
However, he fell back into old habits on a recent trip to Disney World for their son’s birthday.
“We planned a multi-day trip to Disney World with all my husband’s family to celebrate my son’s birthday,” she explained.
“It has been a Herculean effort to pull this all off, and the price tag has been hefty, but in my mind, the memories are what I care most about.”
Since her son loves space-related things, she booked a fancy, hard-to-get reservation at a space-themed restaurant at Epcot for dinner on his birthday eve.
She, her husband, and their other relatives made meticulous plans so her son could have a great night. While she had her son meet some park characters, she needed her husband to fetch his birthday present and meet them at the restaurant with it.
But when they sat down for dinner at the restaurant, her husband was nowhere to be found. She called him several times and got no answer. Her husband ended up missing their son’s birthday dinner and didn’t show up to see him with his gift until it was time for the famous Disney fireworks show.
“I don’t believe in fighting in front of my kids, but I couldn’t contain it. I had us go over to a less crowded area and just started yelling at him,” she recalled.
“I asked what happened, and he said he just wanted to take a quick nap and thought he would wake up in time. He didn’t even set an alarm.”
She and her husband yelled back and forth for a while in the middle of Disney, and she called him a “deadbeat” father. Finally, her husband left to spend the night in his brother’s hotel room.
While she’s still angry, she feels guilty for causing a scene at the park and worries she ruined her son’s birthday.
Should she feel guilty, or is her anger valid?
