The arrival of a child is one of the most exciting times for couples but it can also be a very long and stressful process.
That is why one father-to-be decided to bring his entire gaming console to pass the time while his wife Amber was in labor for 21 hours.
Amber took to TikTok and shared a video of her husband playing a shooting game, and her post quickly went viral with more than 1.6 million views.
“My boyfriend brought his entire gaming system to the hospital during my 21-hour long induction,” she wrote over the clip.
Since being shared, her post has received over 45,000 likes and more than 3,100 comments from TikTokers who were left divided on the matter.
“Wow, Red flag, friend,” one person wrote.
“Absolutely not,” another commented.
“I love my games but I’ve never attempted to do this got better things to worry about,” a third said.
“I wouldn’t mind after labor but during is a different story,” someone else said.
“A father to be, must be fun at home if he can’t go a few hours without this,” another wrote.
But others defended the husband, with one person commenting: “I went through a long induction process as well and I definitely wouldn’t have minded if my kid’s father brought his game.”
Another wrote: “I mean what ya wanted him to do? Sit there for 21 hours staring at her? She was probably more entertained watching him play… I would be.”
Amber was quick to assure her unhappy followers that it was ‘okay’ as she “was not in any type of pain till 19 hours later when it was almost time to push.”
“And for those 19 hours, I watched movies and browsed TikTok.”
