I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.

Wait. This is common? I was there for every second of my child’s birth.

That's what I'm saying! I didn't miss a second. Plus, your wife is going through something physically traumatic. You should be there for her to curse at you for what you've done to her...

All I know is that after the most mediocre weinering, I’m sure, my wife told me she was preggo, and HOLY GODDAMN SHIT LETS DO THIS.

Edit: I work evenings. I get a lunch break during which I can go home and I come home to put that baby to sleep. It’s the best part of my work shift. I don’t eat. I just cuddle with that baby and help my wife.

Hi Dude. Do I want to know what this gif is from?

u/Faust_the_Faustinian Apr 28 '26

The dude in the gif is holding (and eating) a sausage after he castrated his prisoner in a prior scene.

Effort makes up for a lot!

u/LesserKnownFoes Apr 24 '26

I will tell my wife that.

u/VexKeizer Apr 24 '26

Not as hard as that weiner, I guess.

Remind me to never eat at your house

But hey, it was good enough my guy.

u/Much-Still1549 Apr 24 '26

Please don't sell yourself short! I enjoy & cherish every weinering my bf gives me & I'm sure your wife feels the same :)

u/RoyOfCon Apr 24 '26

That mediocre wiener helped bring life to the world. Well done dad.

u/Entropy355 Apr 25 '26

Good for you. Enjoy it. You will be a great dad.

The mental trauma is real even when things go as planned.  Physics breaks down when these kids enter the mortal plane;  both the most beautiful and horrifying to witness and know you had some part in making that happen.

Though, the sense of helplessness when things go even slightly awry haunts me to this day.

The absolute miracle is that humans have been around for as long as we have considering how insanely dangerous and uncontrolled childbirth is.

Haha, sorry, literal trauma dump you didn't ask for.

u/Sinsai33 Apr 24 '26

2 month until my little one comes. I already told me wife she can do whatever she wants to me. Curse at me? Who cares. Break my hand? Okay, probably not as bad as the pain you feel in that moment. Just let me be there for you.

u/Garchompisbestboi Apr 24 '26

Congratulations on seizing the opportunity to fish for validation for doing the bare minimum, lmao

u/Spirited-Degree Apr 24 '26

Let me guess you're a play video games and forget all about it guy.Bare minimum all the way through life.

u/Garchompisbestboi Apr 24 '26

Not at all, I just don't think the world owes me something for cumming in my wife and creating a kid like you clearly do. Though it's pretty ironic that you seem to think that shitting on video games somehow gives you a veil of superiority considering they now make up the most profitable entertainment industry on the planet. But I'm sure you already know that since your own kids are probably much more invested in roblox than they are in whatever sport you grew up pretending to enjoy to bond with your own father who had absolutely no interest in any of the things that you enjoyed as a child.

I was there for all 40 hours of my son’s delivery. Taking micro naps by the end but so was my wife from the pure exhaustion of being up for almost 2 days straight.

The idea of stepping outside to hit a weed pen is disrespectful AF to your spouse/partner. I’m amazed at what people will do

u/Sockoflegend Apr 24 '26

That weed pen though...
