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
Joke's on you : my father was so involved that he fainted in the delivery room, hit his head on the chair he had been waiting on and was evacuated by a nurse directly to neurology while my mom had her baby.
So... he wasn't really that supportive at that point, but he stayed the night at the hospital, at least.
I have never been more close to passing out in my life than when my daughter was born. I hit a nasty fuckin pose and the nurse was so confused but I was just steeling my nerves as best I could so I didn't go down. I didn't want to miss a second.

Is it? That sounds horrendous.
