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

Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML
Today, my girlfriend woke up very early in terrible pain. I drove her to the hospital and fell asleep in the waiting area. When I woke up, my car was gone and it was 9am. She had assumed I just walked home (32 miles), so she took the car. I was the only one in the waiting area. FML
Today, my car broke down. I pulled to the side of the road to call a tow truck. After waiting what seemed like hours, the tow truck showed up, and then ran into the back of my car. FML
Today, I totaled my car whilst rushing to pick up my son from daycare. This happened as I was leaving the hospital, after dropping off a wheelchair to my recently disabled wife, who is taking care of our newborn in the special care unit. FML
Today, I waited in the pouring rain for my wife to come pick me up from work. It was only after I was thoroughly drenched that I remembered it was my wife's day off, and that I drove myself to work earlier in her car, which was parked fifty feet from where I was waiting. FML
Today, I drove to the hospital to see my newborn. I went to the room, picked him out of the crate and held him. Then I heard the toilet flush and saw a woman who I didn't know come out. She screamed. My wife was in the room next door. FML
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, my water broke. Due to Covid-19, we couldn't go straight to labor and delivery, so had to go to the emergency room and wait to be taken up. I sat there for an hour with a ruptured sac and contractions. FML
Today, my wife and I both got released from the hospital. She was admitted for the birth of our daughter. I was admitted with a broken arm from when my mother-in-law shoved me out of the way because she wanted to be the first one to hold the baby after my wife. FML
Today, at 2 in the morning, my water broke. I called my mom and woke her up to come watch our older kid, while my husband and I went to the hospital. After being tested at the hospital, I was told I had just peed myself. FML

They messed up and they're going to have to call a "toe truck" to remove your foot from their asses. Best of luck with the new arrival OP.

Agreed. He should have stayed with her no matter what. Most fathers sleep in those chairs or go to a near by waiting room and make some sort of bed. Now he missed his child being born. I'm sure she was unhappy about that. And I'm also sure she didn't get very much sleep being once she got into labor and such. I'm not saying he is a horrible husband and father, but he should have stayed by her side no matter the cost.

they don't let you go for a long time after your water breaks without inducing labor. it makes no sense that you'd go home. and why would you be towed at home. I'm so confused

How do you leave a pregnant woman who is having a baby for you? That my dear is called karma

My midwife told me that when my water breaks (and no contractions) I shouldn't come in for another 6 hours. She also told me that when contractions start I shouldn't come in until gap between them is about 6 minutes. Why did you go so early anyway? (In The Big Bang Theory a couple is sent home because they came too early.) But I'm on the "go home and sleep side". There is no use having an exhausted husband around and being worried about him during labour especially if he was only a car ride away.

Ydi! That's what you get for leaving your wife about to deliver your child. I don't care how many hours of labor she's been in. My husband never left my side through 36 hours of labor.

you...you left your pregnant wife in labor to "get a little sleep" I would dump u so hard ur a terrible partner and person

I can't believe you left your pregnant wife alone at the hospital. plus if her water broke and 16 hours went by with no labor they would induce her. so I'm thinking you're a liar

Leaving your pregnant wife to get some sleep is messed up! If you wanted to sleep you could have slept in a chair next to her bed if you were that tired. Getting your car towed was instant karma. I hope you learned your lesson. If you were my husband and had left me at the hospital for sleep I would’ve kicked your ass!!
