'Toxic mum hates my wife for 'purposely' going into labour on her birthday week'

A 'toxic' mum threw a tantrum after her son failed to wish her happy birthday because he was busy supporting his wife through labour. He explained how his wife's waters broke just days before his mum's birthday - so he dropped everything to rush to the hospital to be with her.

But this didn't go down well with his mum, who blasted him for putting his wife and daughter ahead of her. Taking to Reddit, he said: "My wife gave birth to our baby girl recently after an extremely long labour.

"She started on Thursday evening and our baby was born on Monday in the early hours of the morning. My mum's birthday was on Saturday. During the labour I was by my wife's side at all times to make her comfortable. But in doing this I got no sleep on the Friday night meaning on Saturday I was fighting sleep and I could only really focus on what was happening in front of me.
