Lois here, it's one of the phrases that enrage the woman. What do you know, Peter? Do we really got this? Would you be 'getting it' if your inside felt like being torn apart by an infant the size of Meg?

I imagine the first few times someone says "you got this" it's fine, but after a couple hours of pushing and many repetitions of that, it'd probably get pretty annoying even if you know he's just trying to be supportive.

I tried to be mindful of what my wife wanted to hear and what would comfort/encourage her the most, but I'm sure I got on her nerves more than once. It's exhausting and you never know much more pushing you have ahead of you.

Telling someone they are doing a good job and being replied and dismissed with "I don't want to" is very tiresome.
