Know of at least four husbands/boyfriends to either:

1.) Tell the expectant mother to “hurry up”

2.) Complain he’s the one suffering because he’s been sitting in a chair for hours

3.) Blame the doctor/mother because baby wasn’t sex he had wanted

4.) Get mad they couldn’t smoke a celebratory cigar whilst holding the newborn and/or in the hospital <—- Boomer thing, apparently

So yeah, I do not envy anyone in the OB/GYN field

SOURCE: Worked at a hospital for a few months in what was essentially sanitation. Someone leaked it or spilled it, we cleaned it.

Believe and trust I heard plenty but thankfully never saw anything

Wow. I bet they complain when people say "men are trash" too

I don’t appreciate when people say that, but that’s because I don’t exhibit trash behavior like that. It’s ok to be upset when you’re inappropriately lumped in with shitty people solely based on your genetics.

If you’re taking offense from it, it says way more about you than you think.

Everyone like you is trash. Sound good?

It’s just a very stupid thing to say. Anyone aware of their shortcomings in life can be sensitive to those types of comments. The only people not offended are the ones that blithely offend and hurt others. In other words the people you are most likely calling trash.
