Go Home!!!!

shillelagh · 06-01-2008, 18:24

Am watching tv, well the tv's on the FA cup match and doing the jigsaw, an announcement at the match just now ***** (name of the bloke) Go home immediately your wife has gone into labour. A question for the blokes if your wife was so close to having your baby and you knew it could happen any time .... why go to a football match!!!

Why was his wife being so inconsiderate ?

Gayle · 06-01-2008, 18:44

She probably just wanted to get him home for tea in time!

In that case she should have made his tea before he went, the kick off time was 6pm. She's had all day to go in to labour and make his tea, probably been sat watching the omnibus editions of Corrie and Eastenders

how sellfish of her nine months to plan and picks day he is at the match

If she is anything like my wife was when she was close to labour, he will have gone to the match to give her a chance to do the 'nest building' thing.

There is nothing worse than to sit there with her asking for the fifteenth time if you could just lift your feet so she can get the industrial sized vacuum cleaner to run over the same piece of carpet again!

Thing is tho they drew yesterday so he now has a trip to Newcastle to look forward to....

Maybe he wasn't expecting his wife to go into labour that day.

She could have been weeks away from her due date. My two were both three weeks early.

lettie · 07-01-2008, 17:01

Babies come when they are ready, normally between 37-42 weeks gestation. They only give 40 weeks as a due date because it is a rough average between 37 & 42. Most women are not satisfied with being told that "your baby could come in January or February," they want a date to look forward to.

At least this bloke wasn't totally incommunicado and got the message. I feel sorry for the poor beggars who work abroad when their other half goes into labour prematurely........they nearly always miss it.

Hmmm, Less looks deeper into this statement for the sake of rumour:-

1/ Lettie + Sparkologist.

2/ Sparkologist works abroad alot........

Are you trying to tell us something Lettie?

WillowTheWhisp · 08-01-2008, 12:17

Is there something you're not telling us Lettie?

cashman · 08-01-2008, 15:06

know the feeling,late wife went into labour sat aft approx 2-30, missed the biggest win of the season 4-0,had no time to loan me season ticket, n it took her while just after 6, to have me daughter,so i missed the bloody results as well. NO CONSIDERATION.

Gayle · 08-01-2008, 15:23

My Mum often tells the story of when she went into labour with me, she told my Dad who was watching Steptoe and Son at the time that she needed to get to the hospital and he asked, 'can it wait till the end of this?'

Lol...... Over my dead body.

I have seen this happen a few times though, especially when baby is premature.
