Today, I went into labor with my first child, and as much as I pleaded, I had to wait for my husband to finish his raid in World of Warcraft before he'd take me to the hospital. FML

Today, I went into labor and got my husband drive me to the hospital. Instead of staying by my side, he rushed back home for a World of Warcraft raid. His excuse? His friends were counting on him and they'd be pissed if he let them down. FML

Today, I gave birth to a baby girl. Where was my husband after the agony finally ended? Standing just outside the room, flirting with a nurse. FML

Today, I gave birth to my first son. He was 11 pounds and the labour lasted 22 hours. My husband was absent for 8 of those hours because he slipped when my water broke, cracked his head, and ended up in the ER next door. FML

Get out

Today, I gave birth to my firstborn child. Somehow, my mom and mother-in-law made their way to the delivery room, and walked in mid-push. While they were escorted out, I overheard my mother-in-law asking the nurse how her son, my husband, was holding up. FML

Ambulances ain't cheap

Today, I went into labor, and my husband wasn't answering his phone. I called my sister to ask her to drive me to the hospital but she said she'd only do it if I paid her $1000. I had to dial 911, and almost gave birth in my bathroom in process. FML

Today, I gave birth, but my husband was late and got here just in time to cut the cord. He was hung over after celebrating his impending fatherhood all night. He missed the cord twice, cut it, then fell over, and wound up in the bed next to mine, with a hydrating IV and a bashed head where he hit it on the baby's cot. FML

Today, I realized that my husband has a video games addiction. I am currently pregnant; he brought us to the same country he's in so we can finally live together, only for me to witness him being glued to his laptop all day and all night playing WoW. He's forgotten I even existed. FML

Today, my wife's water broke so I drove her to the hospital. After 16 hours without labor, I went home to get a little sleep. Four hours later I got the call and ran outside to find that my car was towed from my parking space. FML

Wow your husband is an asshole. I would have broke the damn computer. #165 Priorities? No. World of War of Warcraft is not a prioritie when your wife is going into labor and possibly already dialated. Think with your head, its a game people take way to serious and involve their everyday life in. Its like a drug but for NERDS. End of story. Karmas a bitch

You deserve it for being married to a WoW addict.

You deserved it for getting pregnant. Learn to swallow a pill or swallow the load.

I didn't go to the hospital right away when I went into labor with either one of my sons. Even drove myself to the hospital for my second after I was tired of playing computer games. I got a ride to the hospital with my first after I relaxed and watched tv. I just figured why go to the hospital right away, lay in an uncomfortable bed and get poked and prodded every hour when I could be comfortable in my own home until it was really time to go. Everybody's different though.

Castrate him with a spoon. After that, get a cattle prod and stab him with it every time he plays. It won't take him long to learn that WoW equals severe pain.
