More than one in ten British men have missed the birth of their OWN child

More than one in ten British men have missed the birth of their OWN child, according to a new study.

Researchers took an in depth look into life’s golden moments for Britons – with 12 percent of men admitting to letting the side down by not making it in time to see their child being born.

Almost three in ten (27 percent) have missed an important family wedding, 11 percent of parents said they didn’t take any photos of their youngster’s first day at school and a further 10 percent missed watching their child win a medal at a sporting event.

Other life events we’ve not turned up to include parent’s evenings (12 percent), while a further 10 percent couldn’t make it to their best friend’s stag or hen do, the poll by PhotoBox, who have released 100 gold tickets to customers to celebrate the launch of Photobox Gold, found.

Busy lives and hectic work schedules were the most common reasons why Brits simply weren’t around for golden moments in their families lives.

But 14 percent have missed moments because it was not logistically possible to get there and 13 percent couldn’t afford the travel expenses of getting to far flung family gatherings and important events.
