The worst I have heard was when my husband's old boss was proudly bragging about how he didn't even leave work to be with his wife while she was giving birth to their first child.

He honestly believed that was something to be proud of.

We live in Australia too, so it's not like he had American orphan crushing machine to blame. He was just a horrible piece of shit.

How unsupportive. My dad at least took an hour off to drive mum to the hospital.

My wife was just telling me her coworker was bragging about that too, she told him no wonder they got divorced
