as someone who's sister just delivered a baby, I can tell you that the nurses and doctors there said that most men sit in the corner (if they even come at all) and act annoyed. most of the time, they don't seem interested in becoming a father. it's very sad to see.
That cuts both ways. Just because you know someone that knows someone, doesn’t mean most dads aren’t there and excited. The internet loves to play pretend with their misandry and misogyny peddlers showing up to these threads.
To say "most" dads are there and excited would be like me saying "most" dads are telling their wives it's not that painful and offering zero support. Neither of us have research to back up what "most" do, so to pretend otherwise would be straight-up lying. THAT is playing pretend.
There's a large number of fathers who care and a large number of fathers who deserve divorce papers
I simply believe that it holds more weight if it's coming from a nurse, doctor, midwife, or other medical professional working OBGYN and maternity rather than someone who does not
