First-Time Mom Shocked When Her Husband Bails on Her for a ‘Bro’s Only' Trip Right After Their Baby is Born, Ensuing Argument Sparks a Surprisingly Happy Ending

This first-time mom knew it would be rough the first few months raising her baby, but even after unforeseen troubles with sleep schedules, breast-feeding, and motherhood adjustments, she assumed she could lean on her husband for support–that is, until he bailed on her for a 'Boy's Only' trip. 

When this couple first found out they were pregnant, they were thrilled. The Redditor who originally posted this story, the new mom in question, was elated that she was going to finally experience pregnancy and motherhood in just a few short months. But Dad didn't seem quite as thrilled by his prospects as a father. While she was pregnant with their baby, he and his buddies planned a guy's trip that would occur only a few short months after the baby would be born. 

Distraught, she pleaded he sit this one out, desperate to have him by her side in case anything went awry, but even after the baby was born, he seemed more interested in chugging a couple of lukewarm beers with his fishing buddies than he was in caring for his child. Keep scrolling for the whole tale of how a first-time mom realized the pitfalls of her husband as a partner when he suggested subbing his parents for baby duty while he went off and had a bro-down instead–however, this story doesn't end like you think it will. 

Perhaps there's some redemption for first-time fathers too…
