Husband complaining about how long labor might be.

My husband and I are hours or a few days away from having our fourth baby boy,hes a very great father and husband with the normal manly flaws i guess lol. Ive been having contractions on and off for 3days and tonight he sayes well u just really wait it out as long as you can because i dont wanna sit for 8 to 13 hours waiting. well with our second I was induced and it went so fast i wasnt able to get anything for pain and i dont wanna do that this time i wanna try and get an epideral before the pain is crazy. As of 2 days ago i was dialated to  3 and 70% thinned. I got very angry with him and said well ill drive myself when i wanna go. like i wanna labor for hours and i understand its probly not fun hanging for hours but hello im in labor. i just can believe that came out of his mouth! if i dont go into labor this weekend they are inducing me wednesday, due to i need kidney surgery with as much early labor signs i have im not sure i will make it to wednesday but deep down just want it to wait till then, then i know things wont go crazy hopefully lol.

My husband slept in the chair most of the time, until it came time to push, with our first. That was kind of annoying considering I couldn't sleep.

My husband had to wait for 19 hours when I went to the hospital just for me to get a c section...and he didn't complain at all...I am the type person I would go as early as I wanted just to make him wait longer so he knows not to say anything

He obviously knew what to expect when he did the deed to get you pregnant. You have dealing with pregnancy symptoms, being kicked on the inside, and you'll be the one doing all the hard work of labor and recovering. He can manage sitting in a room with free cable tv for a few hours. My husband knows better than to complain how long labor is lol.
