I don't think you know me at all, and you need to stop attacking shadows.

Is that enough evidence for you? My hand with my wedding ring, a few of my daughter's toes at the top, and an old school style hand written timestamped note.

My two year old daughter has been having awful allergies since last night, when I slept on the floor in her room so I could comfort her when she kept waking up coughing throughout the night despite having doctor approved antihistamines, some "all natural"/home remedy cough syrup, and an albuterol rescue inhaler. I used the snot sucker, warm water to help cut the mucus, kept her propped up to help with breathing and mucus drainage. My wife got a full night of rest. No baby monitor, no interruptions.

This morning I'm also solo for around four and a half hours while my wife goes and does a weekly thing that helps keep her real passion (that she can't do for a living unfortunately) alive.

I'm not looking for an award for doing the husband and father thing. I'm not expecting anything from her for this, and I'm not expecting anything from the internet or the comment section at large. I don't need fucking "good boy points".

What I need is for chucklefucks like you to just fucking stop. Stop telling every man with issues in their relationship that it is always without a doubt their fault. That they clearly don't understand. That they're having unreasonable expectations. That there is absolutely 0% chance they're anything but wrong. Just take a step back and leave room for not even bare minimum understanding or sympathy, but just keeping your damn mouth shut if all you have is throwing shade.

Long as we're throwing the "I'm actually a better more understanding husband than you and you don't understand childbirth" shit around, let me slap my metaphorical cock on the table.

My wife hemorrhaged two thirds of the blood in her body during childbirth. The first moments of holding my child were struck through with concern that I was losing my wife. The nurses had the god damn crash cart ready.

Your insight into the birthing process is not unique.

I'll say it again. This entire subthread has been born from the condition "what if the man wasn't a shitpile", and 90% of the responses have been bunch of people incapable of accepting that as a possibility, building strawmen, and then don quixote-ing themselves into a sense of moral superiority. Just fucking stop.
