Husband skipped delivery

in February 2011 Moms
As we are all having babies, be grateful if you have a half decent man in your life; even if at times they have been a total PITA. The short story is that my brother-in-law missed the birth of his son because he was mad at my sister from an argument earlier in the week. My sister took their DD to a babysitter's, then drove to the hospital and gave birth. He showed up hours later, stayed for maybe 15 minutes and left while my sister used the bathroom. I won't get into any other details because clearly this guy has issues to say the least. Just be grateful for the good people around you!

    DH would be in so much trouble if he missed the birth of our child. Not to mention the regret he would feel if he put one little argument before the birth of our child. I mean come on, nothing is more special then that.

    Clearly he does have issues! I feel so sorry for your sister. That would be horrible to deal with.

    I would KILL my husband if he pulled that.  No matter how bad you fight, it's not ok to miss the birth of your child.  Unless there is some circumstance he can't avoid, but in that case it wouldn't be his choice to miss it.  I def think couples counseling might do some good here, or maybe he should just go by himself!

    If that were my DH he wouldn't need to worry about a vasectomy because I'd pull a Lorraina Bobbitz first.

    Yup. My thoughts exactly. I feel like this is almost marginally worse than cheating...they are both pretty far up there.

    i don't think i would have to worry about dh missing the birth. no matter how mad he would be at me, i think he would just ignore me or finish being pissy at a different time.

    i am sorry your sister had to deal with that, what a douche!

    Was this the very first time he's done something ridiculous? Most of the time people who are crazy show signs of being crazy/unstable far before they pull schit like this.

    OMG!!! What an ass!!! If I were her I would so be telling him not to come home!!!! And then find some reliable friends and family to help me out. No matter how bad a fight they had he still should have been there. And I thought my ex was bad for not helping me after my last c/s and being a lazy ass. This guy just takes the cake. I feel bad for your sister. I hope he shapes up soon or that she has plenty of help from others.

    Unforgiveable in my book. Just over a fight they had earlier in the week? Not cool.

    There are certain things that you cant control, like if your DH is out of town on a business trip, or in the military on deployment, and a few other circumstances that may cause him to miss the birth. But If everything is otherwise normal, the father should be there for the birth. Even if the fight had been that morning, you should be able to suck it up long enough to see your child be bornand be there to support your wife. 

    That is pretty childish. I feel for your sister. I am so sorry her DH is being immature.

    I just told MH about this and told him if he did it, to head straight to a lawyer because he'd be served with divorce papers soon. There is nothing (fight wise) that would excuse him from missing the birth of our child. Of course there are circumstances that would, but over a fight? Hell no

    Oh wow!  That's awful!  I thought it was horrible that my best friend's husband left the hospital for two hours while she was in labor to get new tires put on his car, but at least he was back in time to watch his daughter be born.  I'd be so mad!

    I feel so sorry for your sister. If someone could be that cruel and intentionally inflict pain on someone like that...they deserve to be LEFT! I hope she's okay.

    Even if DH and I were in the midst of a nasty divorce he wouldn't miss the birth of his son! That's just shi**y. I'm sorry for your sister and I hope he realizes the damage he's done and makes up for it somehow.
