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.
No one warned me about the placenta. I didn't know how big it was going to be. My daughter was getting checked out and I made the mistake of looking back just in time to see a corned beef launch into a garbage bag.
I will never forget it. It's seared into my brain.

Is it? That sounds horrendous.
