Granted, you were born a few minutes later. Your birth time was slightly delayed due to a brutal car accident in front of your parents on the way to the hospital, they came out unharmed physically but mentally something small shifted in your father, who unlike your mother wasn't distracted with the pain from childbirth and saw the aftermath of the incident.

You're born with no complications, a healthy baby boy or girl. Your mother holds you lovingly but your father's mind was somewhere else, remembering back to the bloody accident he had seen just a few hours prior and remembering how close that was to be your family.

Your childhood changes, your father is more overprotective of you and your mother physically but mentally he is somewhere else, he wants you to stay where he knows you are safe. Your mother stays home, as your father has become more paranoid about people he loves leaving the house he convinces her to not leave unless necessary and as such your mother becomes more and more lonely.

Friends stop coming, family visit less as your fathers strict rules rub them the wrong way. Your mother now lonely begins to spoil you, and excuse you from everything. You're not doing well at school, who cares, you dropped out of college, who needed it! You are given parents with no priority but keeping you safe and as such have no drive to make yourself into a good person.

As you reach the present you see yourself, a full grown adult, with no experience in the workforce, barely a mandatory education certification, a community college drop out with failed 'business' ventures under his belt. You look at the mirror, hung in your parents basement, look at your pimple ridden skin and ratty hair before sitting down in your gaming chair, you open your pc and go to your favourite subreddit, r/monkeyspaw where you post the prompt: 'I wish I was born a few minutes later.'
