Woman urged to 'dump husband' as he refused to leave work when son was in hospital

A man has received a heavy backlash online after failing to leave work to help his wife while their eldest child was in the hospital. The unnamed wife explained all in a post on netmums, sharing how their child had an unexpected asthma attack and they had to call an ambulance to take the child to the hospital.

At this point, the wife called her husband and said he should come home from work to help her with the ill toddler and their newborn baby. However, he resfued to leave his work. She said: "I called my husband, who is an optician, and said you need to come home I can't do this on my own with the baby and the older one. He was like no. He said he can't leave his work."
