Dads - Were you in the delivery room?
I think all dads are in the delivery room these days. But I overheard a couple in the hospital the same time as us, she told him his place was in the waiting room he shouldn't have to watch the childbirth. And... he waited in the waiting room. That seemed so strange to me.

That is horrible!! I can't imagine any parent doing that. That is just plain abandoning.

I guess they both wanted it that way. Just seemed really old fashioned to me. When I heard her tell him that, I thought it sounded like something my mamaw might have told my papaw back in the day, but people just don't think like that nowdays.

My daughter-in-law felt it was fine either way. She said that he can be in there and feel responsible, or he can be in the waiting room, to give her some air and space. He ulitmately chose to stay in the delivery room, and she was happy with it  |

Most wives want the support (or the punching bag) ha ha. Nothing says love like that demonic voice coming out of that sweet little lady as she says "you did this to me and you're never touching me again" along with a couple of expletives best left unmentioned here. |

Things sure change with time. Used to the dad's weren't allowed in the delivery rooms at all.
I sure didn't want my hubby in there with me. But, then my oldest it almost 38 so at that time it was kinda unheard of. LOL

The same is true for me. Back then the dad's stayed in the waiting room while us moms did all the work.  |

The pain is painful, but it isn't worth inflicting pain on your spouse...the first diaper is punishment enough  . |
