Becoming a parent can force your priorities to shift, but one dad-to-be seems pretty reluctant to accommodate one of his girlfriend\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n
And, while we can see both sides, the majority of people think perhaps he should be a little more understanding of the wishes of the mother of his child.<\/p>\n
The dad-to-be took to Reddit to share his frustration. He wrote: \u2018So me and my girlfriend have been trying to have a kid and we have been successful and she\u2019s currently two months pregnant. <\/p>\n
\u2018We were just hanging out and the she told me that she expected me to sell my motorcycle soon cause it was just too dangerous of a hobby to have as a soon to be dad.\u2019<\/p>\n
It\u2019s safe to say that he wasn\u2019t too impressed with his girlfriend\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n
\u2018I told her I wasn\u2019t going to do that since I\u2019ve been riding for the past 10 years and have been perfectly fine and she\u2019s just over reacting,\u2019 he wrote.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018She told me that this was something she wasn\u2019t going to budge on and that I had to do it.<\/p>\n
\u2018I told her that it wasn\u2019t her choice to make and I wasn\u2019t going to give up my hobbies just because I was about to become a dad. She should have brought this up back when we decided to start trying for a kid.\u2019<\/p>\n
While people understood where he was coming from, they also saw his girlfriend\u2019s side too, with plenty suggesting that he should \u2018cave\u2019 to her request anyway.<\/p>\n
One wrote: \u2018I would still cave and sell it if I were you. I was in the same boat with my wife. <\/p>\n
\u2018She is an emergency nurse and she gets the remains of motorcycle accidents almost daily. I say remains because there\u2019s not much left.<\/p>\n
\u2018I had all the same excuses you do but I learned that everyone of them was pushing my own selfish agenda. <\/p>\n
\u2018When I looked at it I knew seven people that had died or had permanent damage from a motorcycle accident. Everyone I know has similar numbers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve been riding motor cycles without an accident for 20 years. While I am an amazing driver, you can\u2019t claim that for everyone. Eventually someone will be a dumb**s.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s a little different if you\u2019re in a car or truck. They are better designed to keep you safe. A motorcycle has none of the bells and whistles. If you get into an accident it is much more severe.\u2019<\/p>\n
Another agreed, saying: \u2018I mean, yes she should have known to clear this up when you were both trying for a pregnancy but I also would be terrified of becoming a widow single parent if my partner rode a motorcycle, so I can empathise with her.<\/p>\n
\u2018All I ever hear from my hospital friends is how often they see these accidents and how horrific they are. Good luck!\u2019<\/p>\n
