I can't believe him.

So I fractured my foot. I have been on it still because I have to be. I am a mom and I have three kids. I went for more x rays yesterday and got the call from the doctor to stay off my foot or I will risk having to go for surgery. So I ask my husband if he could take tomorrow off as one of his vacation days to help me so I could have three days of no weight on it. My mom agreed to come help next week and so did his mom. My husband told me his boss said no. Well at the end of the day I guess his boss told him he could have it off and my husband said no he would come in.
He comes home and tells me this. I am hurt and upset. Then he tells me he is tired of taking time off to help me.
I don't ever ask him to. Once I was throwing up and on the toilet for two days and the one day I did it alone the other day I had no energy and asked him to stay and he said no. I am so hurt.

Ugh I'm sorry but your husband sounds like a dickhead. Casually say one of your exes offered to come over to help so you'll let him know to come on over LOL

I'd sit him down and talk to him. Try to do it calmly and not accuse him. There must be a reason he feels he's had to take time off a lot of times to help. If there haven't actually been times then he'll have to see that when talking.

The important thing is to do it calmly and not get mad or accuse him. Those will create a fight.

Wow!   I am sorry! Last month I slipped on ice with my daughter in my hands amd messed up my back pretty bad. Ended up staying home from work and my husband stayed home with me, and we even went into Labor and Delivery so they could check and make sure the baby was ok. Have you tried talking to him calmly?

UH-huh. Because the bedrock of any good relationship is passive-aggressiveness.

Could he maybe be frustrated? Could his boss maybe tell him something like? Seems to me like he wanted to, since he asked his boss and might had gotten pissed when his boss said no. Took it out on you. I'd sit him down and talk to him.

This. Or maybe when his boss said he could, it was an annoyed "Fine, since you don't want to do your job, you can have it off" sort of thing? Maybe that made him embarrassed and upset and that's why he got mad at you?

Not excusing it OP, just trying to figure out WHY, that way you can figure out what to do.

I asked him why he was so mad and he told me to smurf off and I said well why didn't you call and ask me if I still wanted your help and needed it then he just went off on me and told me I barely take care of the kids as it is which is a lie. I watch them from 7 to 7 every day and I never go out.

He really hurt me and I don't get why he is so mad at me. I even tried hard to tidy up and make dinner for him. I'm hobbling around and he is being so mean.

He's acting like a dick to her when she has been injured and ill, it'll feel good to get some of it out. Ugh yeh, telling your wife to smurf off when she asks you a simple question is not ok.

Tell him if hes so worried about the kids then he needs to come home and take care of them tomorrow because you cant do much for them while your foot is broken, and if you have to have surgery it will be even longer that you need help.

He sounds like a peach though

I'm sorry but if hes already mad at her implying that an ex is going to come take care of her and HIS kids...that will not go over well.

Well I tried talking to him and he stormed out of the house with my seven month old and the weather is horrible. And I can't go after him. And before he left he said he thinks I just want him home for the company... Uh no. I hate asking for help and so me asking is because I need it and was told I have to.
What a crappy night.

Hahah, this may be immature...But I would be tempted to say, "Well....I bet I could find someone who wouldn't mind missing work to help me.."

OP is this normal behavior or is this just a today thing?

Just a today thing. He normally helps a lot with the kids and this is why I am shocked at him. We got no sleep last night due to our baby being sick and I'm thinking maybe that has something to do with it but still. I think he felt stupid once he realized and he reacted negatively.
