As a dad myself, dudes who willingly deny themselves being in the presence of the miracle of childbirth let alone being there for the entirety of what comes after baffles me.
Same, the birth of my daughter was the greatest day of my life, being able to witness it was truly marvelous, i was warned that it might be gross but it was nothing short of beautiful, the fact that men shy away from it stuns me, its literally the miracle of life
I'm very squeamish and yeah, it was kinda gross. But seeing my son pop out with a gush of liquid as if he was coming out of a water slide was still the most amazing feeling ever and I am immensely proud of my partner. I'm glad I got the privilege of being there for her.
It absolutely is the miracle of life but the miracle of life is messy and gross and beautiful. And we have had so many more messy and gross moments since then but it has only made it more wonderful.
