Would you go this far for your husband or significant other, if you could?  

I would that way I wouldn't miss the game! I'm big into sports and if it were the right teams playing, I wouldn't have a problem inducing labor as long as everything with the baby was alright.

Wow, that's just..wow. I don't think I could go that far for a partner. You would think that your partner would be understanding enough, and love you enough to know that is the biggest and most important days in your life. It seems to me that he values a game more than his wife and child..albeit he was probably there when she had the baby..it still doesn't seem right to me. I'd be willing to make sacrifices, but that's just pushing it.

My husband and I read this story, and we were horrified. I realize the woman meant it as a nice gesture for her husband, but I just can't understand it.

What kind of parent (of either gender) is so concerned with anything other than the birth of their child so close to time for it? It frustrates me that she would assume that the father would even want to go to a sporting event so soon after the child's birth, even if she had it early so it wouldn't be on the same day.

I have a coworker whose husband went on a hunting trip when their child was a month old. Now, I realize that fathers aren't expected to be as involved with children as mothers are, traditionally. I also believe that tradition is ridiculous, and cheats fathers out of something wonderful. Having children isn't for everyone, but if you're going to do it, then be involved with your kids!!

I'm not saying parents should never go anywhere or do anything other than thinking about their children, but that early in a child's life? When you're just starting to get to know the child that you brought into the world? I just can't imagine it!

That is called Love??? LOL Sounds like crazy to me. LOL

You know. I guess I don't love my partner enough because I would not induce my labor for him to runaway to a game. Sorry. But I wouldn't.
If he wanted to go to the game, fine. But he better hope that if he wants to be there for the baby's birth, that I do not go into labor. Because I just would not want to induce my labor and have him grow up and be told that is what I did and why.
I understand that the doctor told her that she could induce because he was cooked enough. But personally, I always liked the element of surprise when the baby was ready to come out. LOL

I would never go that far for my husband. Sorry but Our child is more important than some championship. That woman though must really love her husband

The things we do for love?????!!!??

This is actually just a one word answer. NO. Isn't that why we record things. I think this is very strange and all for the love of the game.

Duh, never mind... I would never trade natureness from that game. There are other ways that her man can do to be able to satisfy his thirst from watching the said game. The girl should think it over and over again after all it is her condition that was at stake.

I don't know that there is anything my husband would ask me to do that drastic, i mean i would think the birth of your child should be your number one priority, not getting to a sports game. if my husband asked me to do that i think he may end up divorced before the baby was born! but if it was something important/life altering or an emergency then i'd go that far.

My answer is NO! LOL, I am sorry I love my husband, adore him, but I would not induce labor for him. How in the world could he ever return a favore like that? And trust me, if I did do that, you are darn right i would exspect something in return. Love isn't a one way street. LOL
