And nurses at hospitals all over the place are all saying the same thing. But half the guys in here keep insisting that it's anecdotal and the other half say it's not true because they're one of the good ones. Either way, they're disregarding what women are saying.
It's just hard to fathom if I remember my son's birth. It's a bit of haze, but sitting in the corner being annoyed wasn't part of it. Sorry, apparently fathers in this thread should disregard their own lived experience.
I get that it happens and bad fathers exist, but I really do wonder where this hospital is, where it's most fathers who are like that. That's shocking.
Is it that hard to believe women when we say how awful many men are? If anything I think you’d be proud that you’re better than them rather than throwing your lot in with useless men.
That cuts both ways, though. People are believing all the commenters who are saying they're great dads, but when a woman says her husband was useless during labour, everyone's ready to either stick up for a guy they never met or comment that he probably doesn't exist.
