+10 on cancel.
F1 would be sweet, but potentially missing the birth of your first child to partake would be catastrophic.
And this x Infinity.

Don't cancel. Send a proxy in your place to the event. I'm available.
Life is about experiences.
Can you have an F1 experience in the future after the birth of your first child? Yes.
Can you experience the birth of your first child with your wife again after it happens? Maybe, but only if you are Nick Cannon.
So all we need to close this out is someone like Mar or someone on an [ignore list] to come in and say "just go - it'll be fine, Brah" and we can conclude that cancelling is certifiably the correct choice.
I was in Canmore on a golf trip with buddies when my guy came 10 days ago. Luckily I wasn’t drinking a ton and when the call came I was able to scramble and get back to Calgary and to the hospital aboit an hour before he came.
Don’t think I would be able to forgive myself if i missed it.
I had a detailed chat with my wife again this morning and she's adamant that there is no way I should be canceling with us this far out with the due date. It's not the money, we actually might have a spare General Admission ticket that we paid $500 for to the scalpers on stubhub. We initially bought GA tickets when shit was going crazy and it was officially sold out and paid $500 each but then we got the hospitality passes through one of the guys' work so we will be using those instead obviously so 1 for sure and possibly 2 tickets for General Admission will go to waste anyway. So it's definitely not the money concern that makes me not want to cancel. Anyway I will talk to her again tonight but this morning we decided to see what her doctor says tomorrow at the appointment when they do checks to make the final decision of whether going or not.
if someone wants a cheap (cheaper than what we paid) GA ticket (possibly 2) let me know and I will talk to the group.
Cancel it. The births of my two children are seared into my brain. Two of the most joyous days of my life.
It's not even the actual birth, but everything that leads up that day and all of the pre-birth what-ifs.
That said, this is going about as predictably as it could:
Shak asks for advice... A bunch of people that have relevant experience chime in... Shak does the exact opposite, for seemingly no good reason (it's F1 in Montreal... It'll be there next year)
Gold. :rofl:
you might say its like trading in an R8 for an F-type....lol
First of all, I didn't ask for advise on shit. I simply made a comment about how that's a small concern in the back of mind based on what another person posted and Beyond in the typical fashion started delivering unsolicited advise in hordes.
So while I appreciate what input someone might have to offer, the ultimate decision will be mine, which I will make in consultation with my wife. Haha.
Haha yes. Or trading the AMG GTS for a Ridgeline bro. :)
This has the makings of a Mar 3.0 user title.
In posting here, by default you need to accept (and expect) that a bunch of grizzled old bastards are going to foist their opinion on you whether you explicitly asked for it or not; how do you think I know so much about about parenting - 89coupe & mitsu3000GT - no one asked, but they tell!
Easy, big fella.
As you mentioned, you know that if someone makes a comment here, advice and opinions will rain down... It is a discussion forum afterall.
You're about to go through one of the most meaningful and transformative experiences of your life, which most don't fully realize until it's in the rearview.... Unsolicited or not, you might want to take into consideration what those that have gone before you have to say on the matter... Or not.
I'm the one that started it. I let his comment sit there for almost 18 hours before I had to chime in.
I can't believe all you other jackals either can't read, or have such restraint!
I can take the heat.
