It all began last week when my wife (F35) went on a work trip and left me (M29) and my daughter (F9) alone. At first it was no big deal, the only new thing that I had to do now was to be the one who takes and picks up my daughter at school and take a few hours off work to take care of her which I’m more than happy to do so.

The issue came the first day my wife was gone when I went to pick my daughter off from school and they wouldn’t let me take her because they didn’t know me. At first I understood because they had never seen me before and where just looking after her security which is fine but after I explained that I am in fact her father and even my daughter told them I was her dad they still wouldn’t let me take her so after about 20 minutes of them not letting us go and other parents getting involved I got tired and threatened to call the police if they wouldn’t let me take her and then they let me go and I thought that it would be the end of it at least until I picked her up the day after.

We got home and everything was normal for about an hour until my wife calls me mad at me telling me that a few moms were complaining her about the situation through the moms classroom group chat so I just explained everything and she understood but was still mad at me because I went too far by calling the cops to which I told her I had no option.

For the rest of the week they didn’t give me any more trouble at the school but other parents would look me bad and I just ignored them. Yesterday my wife got back and was still very mad at me because I was ‘rude’ at her friends and the school and I honestly don’t get how I was rude. If anything, the school is the rude one for not letting me take my daughter when I even explained and gave proof of being the father.

There are no issues anymore but I was wondering if I was an AH to the school?

    The school is NTA, they were doing their job. You are NTA, you explained it reasonably well. Your wife is TA for worrying more about her social standing than her daughter getting picked up.
