For many of us, the birth of our first child is likely to be one of the most important moments in our lives - and for most dads, missing out on the moment your baby is born would be devastating.
But one mum-to-be on Reddit has been left furious with her husband, as he seems to have other priorities that clash with the impending arrival of their baby, and he's not willing to compromise.
Sharing her story anonymously, the 25-year-old pregnant woman revealed she's due to give birth in March on the exact day that The Batman is due to hit cinemas - and her husband, 28, is determined to see Robert Pattinson in action as Bruce Wayne and his crime-fighting alter-ego on that same day.

The woman said: "My husband and I are expecting a baby. As you may know, there is a new Batman movie releasing in early March. My husband is a big fan of that kind of stuff and wants to see it on opening day.
"The issue is that our estimated due date is exactly on that day. I know that only a fraction of babies are actually born on the exact due date, but I have always been very regular on my periods and I have a feeling that I may be one of those cases."
According to her husband, he has no choice but to see the Matt Reeves-helmed film on opening day, because otherwise, he opens himself up to potential spoilers.
The man also accused his wife of being "irrational and emotional" because of her pregnancy when she expressed that she was upset at the possibility of him missing the birth of their child.
The woman added: "He says it is important to see the movie on the first day because of spoilers. He said that even if I end up having the baby that day while he is watching the movie, at worst he would arrive a few hours late - which he says is not such a big deal.
"He says I am being irrational and emotional because of being pregnant. I am upset because I feel deprioritised by him."
Commenters on the Reddit post couldn't believe the man's cheek, with many suggesting it's easy to avoid spoilers, so he shouldn't consider missing his child's birth.
One said: "He thinks possibly being spoiled on a superhero movie is a bigger deal than possibly missing the birth of his child. I'm sorry you're having a baby with someone with such messed up priorities."
While another wrote: "He sounds really selfish and immature. He can see a movie whenever but he can only be at this child’s birth once."
But some insisted the mum-to-be can't guarantee her baby will arrive on the due date, so she should let her husband go to the cinema as long as he promises to change his plans if she does go into labour on that day.
Someone said: "You may be due on that date but your baby doesn't know that. Let him go to the movie with the stipulation that if you are already in labour (and/or at the hospital) that he won't go."
As someone else added: "Hate to break it to you, but baby coming has nothing to do with regular periods. If he wants to go then he goes on the condition he will be called away if you go into labour."
