We have no idea what we would do in this situation.
A man on Reddit was left with a very tough choice, having to choose between staying with his very pregnant wife or leaving her to visit his dying grandfather.
The man wrote on the AITA forum, "My wife is really close to giving birth, and we are both super excited to welcome our baby girl into this world. However, the issue is the fact that my 92 year old grandfather is sick and will most likely pass on in the next week or so. He has been one of the kindest, best, and coolest people I've known, and he had a huge hand in raising me, so I want to fly over there in a couple of days to say goodbye and attend his funeral."
His wife argued that the birth of his child was more important than seeing his dying grandfather, but he was obviously torn because of the close relationship he had with his grandfather growing up.
Eventually, he and his wife reached a compromise: He would drive to his grandfather's hometown to say goodbye and then drive back home. While he was gone, family and friends stayed with his wife. And in his final emotional talk with his grandfather, he asked him to pick the name of his daughter.
What would you do in this situation? How do you choose between your incredibly pregnant wife ready to give birth at any moment, or traveling out of state to visit the man who had a huge part in raising you?
