Part of good parenting is putting your child first -- above your own needs and desires. If Big Mike couldn't do it before the baby was born - what in the world is in store for that baby? If you can rationalize being absent for the birth -- you can rationalize being absent for anything! The baby won't know the difference now, but when he/she grows up and learns what his father (?) missed, it will leave a huge question mark in its mind about how wanted he/she was. Love to all.
