Some people want to give birth in peace, without the stress of their family crowding around and watching the show.
Others prefer the comfort of knowing their mom and dad are there in the wings, ready to give them snacks and hold the tiny baby when all is said and done.
However, when the baby comes early, this can cause a rift in schedules for those who had previously planned to be there.

AITA for not ending my vacation early and rushing home for the birth of our grandchild?
I 52m and my wife were on a two-week vacation in Cancun Mexico. Were from the US and planned all year for this trip, and saved up money to be able to go on this trip. (We booked and paid before my daughter was pregnant.)
It was our 6th day there when our daughter's (26) boyfriend called us saying she was giving birth and we had to get on the next plane ride home.
