My problem is, at the end of my life am I going to regret not taking a job more or regret missing out on what is effectively my sister becoming a mother? it will be okay 
You will still get to watch the kid grow up and be there for other more important moments! Besides with a job, you will have money and can afford to take both of them to the zoo or something later  If you will, so will I | |

Though she did say if she got impatient she'd trigger labour herself. She's got an in with a good naturopath that she plans on enlisting to kickstart the process if need be.  Carrie's right. the baby could just come out early. That's what happened with my niece. She wasn't due for another 3 weeks and I had to miss the Miami invasion because she came the day I was supposed to leave!
maybe Mach can do a spell to draw the baby out early

So how does the babys dad feel about you being present? Surely they don't allow too many people in at once. Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Making a living is not laming out on your friend.
You've been broke for how long??? I would hope she'd understand. | |

I've given birth twice, and it was an amazing experience. But that's not the most important moment for you to be there for her. She's going to be a mother for the rest of her life, and like others have said, she will deeply appreciate you offering to watch the baby while she relaxes, shops, or naps. Those are the things that I really appreciated. The day of the birth kind of becomes a blur. | |

Discuss this with her and tell her how you feel. I'm sure she would give you the  to take the classes and job.
My opinion would be to take the job. It might be better off finanically if you took it. Babies don't always arrive on their due date  it could be born early or it could be born late.
Best of luck to you for this job

moderatorSupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: You need your career and the ability to take care of yourself first over the birth. Having been present at the birth of my nephew and niece and being that I was the only one able to be with my sister when she had my niece, I understand the enormity of your committment to your friend. This job could change the landscape of your life. You can always be a committed friend to both your friend and the baby even if you aren't present at the birth.
that's my opinion. co-sign. | |

Oh, yes. By all means, make your issues the school's responsibility.

I heard the mums just poop everywhere. I also heard there's a not-so-lovely smell that comes out. 
One of my best friends wants me in the delivery room when she has one. I will be wearing a pink hazmat suit.  | |

I bet after that baby pops out you'll be crying like one, with joy that is

I heard the mums just poop everywhere. Not always. The Wife was fine, but her pal recently had a pool birth and it was like beef soup.  |

Or, get Phil a pooper-scooper. It'll give him something to do. Should the worst happen.... |

I love where this thread has gone.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

NO silly, we have a dog. When I got him (the dog) I promised to keep the yard (garden) poop free. | |
