Men:
You left your wife who is 6 months pregnant with your 3rd child because you weren't happy. Your staying with a relative who you can't stand but refuse to come back home because you want to move on with your life. You do not visit your kids nor do you call them. You haven't been to one doctors appointment with your wife since she's been pregnant. The time comes for her to have the baby and you want to be there - Do you think your entitled to be in the delivery room when your 3rd child is born?
Ladies:
Do you think he is entitled to be there? Would you want him there?

Is he entitled to be in the delivery room - ABSOLUTELY NOT! With that having been said, if I were in this particular situation, I would let him be present at the baby’s delivery because he is the baby's father...and the baby has to get use to having an azzclown for father anyway - so it might as well start from birth.

Q, is this the woman you were talking about before?

Anyway, the answer is no - he isn't entitled to be in the delivery room when she has this baby. He should have thought about that before he left her high and dry.

If he's moved out, doesn't visit HIS kids, doesn't call HIS kids, (Dr's appts are irrelevant) he obviously wants out of his former life, why on earth would he want to be in the delivery room?? :confused:

Hell, I'm still debating whether or not my perfectly good husband who's been to every single one of my OB appointments should be allowed in the delivery room...
Should be a no-brainer. She'd best tell the guy to take a hike.

I feel for you girl. I would talk to him and remind him that he is the one that left, not visited the kids, didn't put an E for effort to be at the OB appointments and for that he has NOOOOOOO right to be in the delivary room.

He probably shouldn't be there, but legally as the father, he has the right.

As a man, my initial answer to this would have been YES, the husband should be entitled to be there during the birth. If there has been no move by either party to file for divorce, then, as the husband he would still have the right to be there. That being said, the mother would have an equal right to refuse his request to be present and her desires, since he walked out would take presidence over his.
His being there or not being there would have no bearing on his responsibility as the father however.
Since the guy walked out to "start a new life", why would he even consider being at the birth? It's obvious that since he has had no contact with his other two siblings since he left, he has no interest in his family.

:confused: If he has no contact with the wife and kids, how would he know when the birth occures?
Don't think Dad is "entitled" to anything if he walked out.

Last wife got preggers, we got married, she walked a couple of months later. Son's birthday comes up and I get a call informing me of the impending delivery and an invite to attend.
Was on a date in the middle of dinner at the time. :lol:

He may think he has the right but ultimately the expectant mother can say who she does and doesn't want in the delivery room. She and the baby are the doctor's and nurses only concern and if she says no then they will make sure the bum doesn't get in.

The azzhole leaves his wife and kids, has no contact with either, wants to move on with his life.....doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure this one out. If he hasn't bothered with the kids he already has, what makes anyone think he would bother with the one that isn't born yet? And why would she even want him there. Take him for every penny of support she can get out of him and move on.

Why does he suddenly want to be there for this one's birth if he hasn't had any contact with his other kids so far?

It sounds to me like he's playing games with your emotions. Question for you, are the other children the same sex and he's hoping for a son or his little princess? But no way should he be in the delivery room, he's left you to do it alone this long?

I dont think he's entitled at all. Dude is playing with her emotions. He just has to be or he's bipolar and confused as to what he wants in his life. Leaving her out on a limb not knowing if he's coming home or not is what is driving her nuts. She has no idea if they are seperated temporarily or if its truley over.
Either way I told her wait to see how she feels at the time and not to feel bad if she has that "need" for him to be there. But he certainly doesn't deserve to be there. A woman goes through a lot of emotions I'm sure during that time, especially since she loves him and wants the family to stay together.
I just wanted to see what all of you thought... :yay:
im sure there will be more to come.

...there, but should get to name the kid, too. And the house should be signed over to him so he can open a line of credit to get his childs room ready which means he's gonna need the keys to the car as well and their damn well better be beer in the fridge before anyone even thinks about leaving the house to go off and laze around the hospital for a few days while he's doing all the work.

is this the same person you had on another thread? Can I ask you something....why in the world would you want to get involved and put ot out here on the local chatbox......how old is this woman and can she not think for herself. The writing is on the wall....from the last thread she knew it was coming....so it did....move on....if he wants to be a part of the kids life so be it...if not then as hard as it is they will still be ok.....there is more to this than you are telling, right?

I know exactly where you are coming from.. My husband left me after we planned to have our second child.. He wasn't happy anymore and wanted to live the single life.. which he did.. He didn't go to not one doctors appointment, didn't visit me while I was in the hospital because I was so sick.. Yet I was still torn because I thought he deserved to be in the delivery room.. Needless to say our baby was born in June and he did come in the delivery room it was a great day and the very next day he was back to being his jackass self.. Hope this helps..

Nope, as a patient she has the right to say who can and can't be in there.. to include her husband.

Ah yes. I didn't think about her as a patient. That makes more sense.
So what was the final outcome of this baby delivery? :confused:
