Would you be upset?
I’m due at the end of this month, despite remembering that it’s my due date, my Dad has gone ahead and booked a holiday for the week before my due date and now also the week after my due date.
This is my second baby, last time I had an emergency c-section and had a major haemorrhage. He isn’t my birth partner, but last time visited 6 hours post surgery to meet my son.
I feel so upset that it just tells me he doesn’t care and his words are empty. I cannot for a second get my brain around not being there for my children during such a significant time, especially if there was scary medical stuff associated

Extra info: I thought we had a good close relationship so it’s not like we’re estranged
I Don’t want any visitors until 3/4 weeks after so it wouldnt bother me 😅
So he didn't plan anything for the week of your due date? He is a man after all, and maybe not thinking or aware that baby may come early or late and is expecting baby to come on your due date. Have you tried talking to him about your due date just being an estimate? Or how it makes you upset that he potentially won't be there for the birth?
