You have an excellent chance of winning the British Open but your wife is expecting your baby. Which comes first? Personally, I would go for the fame and glory (and money) as the opportunity may never arise again. You can always fly straight to her bedside immediately after winning the event. Its certainly a dilemma. So what would you do in his shoes?

men are useless during birth anyway...give me the money anytime

So he can see his wife suffer, scream, yell and be totally helpless? I would take the money

That's tricky!

I'd say stay and play (but make sure you win), get Skype on the go and would expect one hell of a pressie!

discussed this with Atilla this morning, I said if it was me I would rather he played the golf and won all the money!!

Pretty much what I was thinking too. His wife comes across as rather selfish in the article, if true.
"If he has to pull out, he has to pull out. It’s just one of those things..."

Blue Cat

I thought it was him who was insisting on returning not her

Shadya

Just a woman being clever, more likely.

to be fair, most men want to be at the birth (even though it sounds like a RIGHT pain in the arse, 15 hours or so, the bird shouting at you telling you you're a twat, you forgetting to pack your sarnies etc).

Blue Cat

I had Mitten on my own

Spugsy

what were the ciurcumstances then?

Blue Cat

at that time if you had a C section at the Al Wasl your husband wasn't allowed in. One relieved Father one scared shitless Mother.

Spugsy

what a stupid rule.

Blue Cat

yup bloody ridiculous, I think things have changed now. They wouldn't even let my best mate in.

He can have another baby next year...And if he wants to redeem himself for all eternity, he should sell the TV; he'll have babies every year...
