I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

Edit: Hi, I'm an actually human person and was the first to comment on this. I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.

I was a midwife for 10 years, unfortunately I'd say it's quite common. Not the majority, but certainly a large minority.

That’s so sad. My mum was a midwife for 40yrs. Mainly in SCBU tbf but always said this kinda trope is very over played. Maybe locational? She worked in Birmingham followed by Northallerton, North Yorkshire.
