Each to their own though.

First of all it is my wifes grand child as it is her daughter not mine although I will qualify that as I have always treated her as my own. I would also say that I have a very good relationship with her natural father and his wife who would expect to be there at the time of the birth if possible. Further more the post by macca was about a weekend away for her mother where as I would be down for the day and the maternity hospital is on the way home so would not present a problem to visit on the day of the birth were it the match day.
Given you didn't know the circumstances I will excuse you rather than give my real opinion which may get me banned since you knew nothing about the circumstances. A common problem with people on message boards who don't know the full facts.
It is a well quoted saying that it is better to let people think you are stupid than open your mouth and confirm that you are!!
