Nah it's not. I can see how someone would want to normalise such a shitty event to deal with it but the fathers I know and myself have been much much more involved and supportive than our fathers were

This. Everyone sees themselves as the standard, the "normal". Even if they are far, far away from "normal".

I mean you could just listen to the labour and delivery nurses considering she sees this everyday and that’s her normal.

Most I know say that dads tend to not do great during birth.

Where do you live?

I know a midwife, and she tells a different story. She says that shitty dads in the delivery room are rather rare.
