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
As a father of 6 I got to be there for exactly one birth that was like witnessing a beautiful miracle of life. Also there for two emergency c-sections, one for my son who was sunny side up and another for the twins who decided to both be breach births, even though they were the right way the day before. The remaining two were absolute gore fests and the birthing table looked like an executioner's block afterwards. I'm not squeamish though, so it was fine, but hot damn. I can see it being a bit much for some dads, but I can't imagine missing the birth of my own children.
