Woman rages as 'selfish' husband ditches daughter's seventh birthday for football game

A man has sparked a huge debate online after choosing to attend a football game over his own daughter's birthday party. While parents mean everything to their children, one man ducked out of parenting responsibilities by choosing a night out with the lads over a day with the seven-year-old birthday girl.

Taking to popular forum Mumsnet, a furious mum expressed her anger that her husband was selfishly choosing a day for himself rather than being with his own children.

In the post, which has raked in over 350 comments to date, the woman explained: "It's my daughter's seventh birthday party tomorrow, it's at a soft play 3-5 and we're going along at 2.30 to set the place up."
