howey_ducky Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 difficult one that mate, just spoke to the missus, she's of the same perspective as your's. Is it your first kid? if not then you could argue that you've done it once already and there's nothing you can do there anyhow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I can't see why the missus expecting a baby a month away should stop you from having a day out. Will it stop you going to work?OK so don't go early, stay late and get thoroughly lashed but going to watch a game isn't going to do any harm.The worst that can happen is she goes into labour and you have to leave. If it's her first she'll be in labour for about a week anyway so there's no rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 tried explainingThis is where you went wrong.You should have presented it as fact and then helped her deal with the anguish, not made it sound optional.Something like "Ere love, don't you be thinking about going into labour early mind because it'll take me at least two hours to get back from Wembley".That's my relationship counselling done for the day anyway, I also do hostage negotiation.

jgsmuzzy Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Would be interested in knowing what the majority of the women think - told her she is being totally unreasonable ! My missus' actual words "Tell him to stop being an idiot an think of others for once. Selfish ba*tard"Then she has a go at me for even asking such a "stupid" question. Bloody wimmin! Think you are onto a loser. Better pray we get 1st or second spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are the playoff dates, end of May isn't it, leaving her more than 2 weeks away from her due date? From your point of view I'd say you would be alright to go, I think if the baby was to arrive early you'd have some idea in most cases anyway. It's quite rare for the baby to suddenly arrive, but not impossible. Saying that the 2nd usually arrives quicker than the first, quicker = shorter labour not more unexpectedly!From her point of view though I know why she would want you there! Good luck in whatever you decide. ps we aren't doing the playoffs anyway so all of this is irrelevant! :goingup:pps: I spent most of my first time giving birth telling Mr RedM to go and find what the football score was as we were playing Tranmere away on a Tuesday night, think it was 0-0!

AtyeoRed Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 IF it is a Boy he will be next Generation City, there for he will wait or arrive Early so that he can go with his Dad. IF it is a Girl...........sorry Mate you got NO CHANCE, they just do'nt understand these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3_RED Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 My Mrs is due to have our 2nd around the time of the Preston game. I can see a interesting scenario coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beau45 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 IF it is a Girl...........sorry Mate you got NO CHANCE, they just do'nt understand these things. Back to topic, think your fighting a losing battle I'm afraid, if she wants you there just in case then you got to be there... You would be in the dog house BIG time if you did go and she went into labour! Think you would regret it if you missed it as well, if your honest.... There will be other games, but your childs only born once!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Tell her to stop being so selfish and try and see things from other people's point of view for once, the baby's for example. Think of the guilt that that person is going to have to bare throughout their entire life knowing that you missed one of the greatest events in the history of the World, ever, because of them........Yeah, it's for the good of the baby - her baby! ps/I think even Alistair Campbell'd be proud of that one.

Dave Youell Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I got REALLY luck last time, my other half was 2 weeks early, so missed the final by a week.Shame about the game though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoc Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Men should never ever go anywhere near a delivery suite. It's extremely messy and a thoroughly unpleasant experience which is likely to make us quite stressed. Send flowers after it's all over and you've had a drink to calm down.

TheBerkeleyBoy Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 My Misses is due 12th June - same problem, tried to get around it by suggesting we name him/her after the city goal scorer but she won't have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Tell her it's her fault. You warned her it would spit if she played with it - now she has to live with the consequences. Babies get born everyday - it's been 32 years since we last got promoted to the top tier.Tell her not to be so selfish and to think of others - there are thousands of fellow City fans who would want you to be at the game - only one person wants you not to be there!For your part - next time she says she's feeling a bit frisky - consult your diary before unzipping!

Dollymarie Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I have to say if it was me about to drop, id still be there at Wembley no matter what.How quick was her first labour, was she late or early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 You needed to lay down the law early on. My gf knows that only her going into a coma or similar will mean me missing football...She is due on June 17th- that is almost a month later than the play-off final so not sure what her problem could be?!

Geoff65 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Had same situation in 1988 - First born due and I went to Walsall to get harassed by West Mercia Police - My son wasn't born and Wifey happy that I enjoyed the day.I would drop the subject with the wife until you can buy tickets and then just make sure she knows how important it is to you and stress how unlikely it is that your baby will be born on that specific day, i.e. just keep the subject of City going until you know for sure if City are in the playoffs and if they are make sure you hae rational arguements about the probabilities of her having your son/daughter on that specific day and anyway her Mum I am sure would love to spend the day with her so close to the baby dropping and how exciting and thrilled her Mum would be to be there instead of you.Baby born 9 days later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DanC Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Most labours last longer than two hours it will take for you to get back. SO just explain to her that as soon as she feels the slightest twinge you will come home.Or take her with you and book her into a hotel whilst you watch the game.
