When I gave birth my husband was praised to the moon and back for being so wonderful. Because he: quickly changed into scrubs when I was getting wheeled into the OR for an emergency c-section rather than waiting for the room the empty. For knowing literally anything about the birth process. For changing diapers, handing the baby to me to feed, and for tracking the feeding times. He was honestly getting uncomfortable with all the praise, especially for what he felt was the bare minimum of effort/involvement. It was honestly a bit depressing to think that what he was doing wasn’t the norm.
