My SIL gave birth yesterday. Her husband was butthurt he was not the center of attention. Blew up at me for saying something crucial should be the mother's choice and not his. Of course his blow up had to happen while his wife was throwing up.

"Something crucial" makes it sound like it has something to do with the kid, and if thats the case then the father should have a say no?

If it wasnt anything to do with the kid then he sounds like an asshole, kinda sounds like that anyway if he "blew up" to be fair

It had to do with her ability to care for the baby. She was still coming off the anesthesia and absolutely could not take care of him at that moment.

He couldn't care for him either due to disability, but wanted to make either her or me do it. The choice was either that, or waiting 2 hours.

She was terrified, but he kept pestering her. I told him to stop talking for a second and let her make her choice.

If neither of them can physically take care of them, then if you're unoccupied that sounds like something you should volunteer for, no?

I did, and part of it would have been holding the baby for her while she breastfed because she wasn't strong enough yet. But then she started throwing up and she had a terrified expression.

The alternative was waiting 2 hours.
