Today, the father of my unborn child told me he isn't sure he'll be able to make it to the birth, since there's no guarantee of when it will happen, so he can't schedule time off. This would be understandable if he actually had a job. FML

Today, one of my best friends went into labor 14 days early. I'd told my boss previously about this and that I need to be there for my friend as she doesn't really have any family. My boss will not let me leave work to be there. Why? I didn't give enough notice. FML

Today, I'm pregnant and feeling awful due to all-day-long morning sickness. My doctor suggested that I cancel all my social plans to be able to keep working. My doctor is also my husband, and the father of this child. FML

Today, I found out that, despite working 4 part-time jobs, that I will not qualify for maternity leave by my due date with the mandatory 600 hours. I can't get full-time work and I'm 8 months pregnant now. This'll be fun! FML

Today, at work my boss told me I have been late, under-productive, and using up a lot of sick days. He says my job is on the line. My reason for barely showing up at work: I've been on maternity leave for 6 weeks. FML

Today, as every day for the past few weeks, my husband won't have sex. His reason? We've decided to have a baby, and he reckons that the longer he waits, the more competition there will be between his sperm and thus the better the result will be. FML

Today, my dad came home roughly 3 hours early. He came back because he was laid off from his job, because there was no work for him on his current shift and they haven't found a replacement shift for him at the job he's currently at. Shouldn't they have figured that out in advance? FML

Today, I'm 9 months pregnant and the father of my child has suddenly decided that the child I've carried for 9 months isn't his, and that it was "too late" to try and fix our relationship. He's the only man who could be the father, he's just finding every excuse to say, "Sorry, but no thank you." FML

The only time this would ever fly is if said baby daddy is in the armed forces or some similar career that took him out of the country due to said job. (Been there done that 5 days after DH had to deploy) But you know OP you could talk with the OB and see about scheduling an induction then u know when it will be and he will have to come up with something better either way I am sorry. Sometimes men change when a woman gets pregnant. Sometimes for better sometimes worse. I hope for the former for you and the baby but plan for the latter so u won't be screwed as it already seems to be that way:(

Most doctors won't induce without a medical reason, because it actually increases risks for complications. If her only reason is because she wants the father to have no excuses, it's not worth the risk.

Any guy can be the "father" but it takes a DAD TO BE THERE FOR THEIR CHILD!

Uhm... and you are having a baby with a bum? You are surely implying he has nothing of critical importance that needs scheduling. I sorta feel sorry for you, but honestly, OP what did you expect? YDI for making babies with a bum.
