Baby or Superbowl?

Ok, you're married and expecting your first child who is due on the day of the Superbowl, which your favorite team is playing in and you have tickets to. What do you do?

Sell the tickets. NFL sucks anyhow, and family is more important, especially the birth of your first child.

No contest, kid.

Gotta agree with the first two......its all about the first kid.......

**hint*** technology these days....you can still figure out a way to watch if you have to.

I don't think the issue was watching the game, but attending it.

If you have to ask that question, then your still a kid yourself.

I would go for the kid as well, though as I told a couple female classmates, I think they'd be surprised at how many guys would find it a tough call. Personally, I'd see what my wife thought about inducing a day or two early. I'm a 'have your cake and eat it too' type when it's possible.

Are you kidding? Induce labor five days before the game. With modern medicine this isn't even an issue.

Simple answer...planned pregnancy. If you're stupid enough not to count 9 months ahead before you knock a chick up, you deserve to miss the game.

I already know that my wife will not conceive during January, because I can't afford to be distracted during MLB postseason.

Exactly
