Dads to be are 2nd class citizens on the labour ward because they don't get offered a cup of tea...

Have you read the other posts on the forum? It doesn't take long; it's pretty moribund. The place is around 85% whiny whingers, with a valiant minority who are probably "staff". Don't look at it if you want to still like men.

What a fuckwad this guy is.

While I haven't given birth I have had major reconstructive surgery. DH forgot to eat, barely slept, went home to make me soups from scratch to ensure I received proper nutrients to heal, and was by my side every day telling me how loved I am. He did not think of himself - he was focused on doing everything possible to give me comfort. He did all of the things I would do for him (and frankly what we should all do for those we love).

Reading this post made me sad for this guy's poor wife. Shame on the man-baby, shame!!!!

Ah, next time the man baby should take his wife to the US to give birth - not only was there fresh coffee and tea making in the corridor but they brought h meals. The luxury of private healthcare, it came with a $25k price tag and dd is an adult!

The replies are great

Hope he never has to stay on a ward with a child when it is clear they aren't going to feed or water the parent, nor indeed look after the child while you go and get food.

I fucking love some of those replies. What a selfish entitled manbaby of a little prick. I wonder if it had been a ward staffed entirely by men he’d be moaning that none of them made him a brew? I pity his wife and child.

I feel so sorry for his wife. Imagine being married to such an oppressed man💔

@Erythronium good point. I wonder if she met his usual high standards straight after the birth 🤔

Sounds like his usual teasmade was malfunctioning (having a baby) so he thought the nearest female nurse/midwife/doctor would be an adequate substitute. When they didn't fulfill their designated fumction he felt aggrieved.

Where thank you. I'd got the bold bit but didn't know about the line spacing.

NHS staff rarely even get a drink themselves so what makes the fathers a priority?!

I saw that on Facebook and thought it was a tongue in cheek post. How depressing to realise it isn’t.

Love the responses!!!

Time. Sorry mrs Smith dont push the dad in room.4 wants a drink

Didnt think to bring a drink or 2 but I Bet they remembered their phone

What a prize twat.
I really feel for his wife!

@TurboTeddy, italics (and bolding) need to be enclosed in carats (*s), but if there is a line break inbetween them then it won't work. So you need to enclose each line in the carats.

Those responses are a thing of beauty !

Italics never work for me!

Today's winner of the internet.....

^2 things toolbelt.

1: This experience should never be about you. But since your frail ego can’t seem to handle that…

Congratulations on putting your pee-pee in a vagina until climax. Might I offer you a beverage? Perhaps a tea?

2: If you were there for the missus… ACTIVELY there for the missus, you wouldn’t “feel invisible” you’d be too concerned with her to care.

Every hospital I’ve ever been to I acknowledge my role as support for the patient.

To encourage, make sure they know they aren’t alone, to help with pain, fear, and boredom.

If I want a tea, I get it for myself. I ask the patient if they want something.

The hospital staff has always treated me with kindness. They were accommodating, and complimentary. (Compliments make me uncomfortable)

It’s obvious you’re somewhat of a selfish jerk. Because you take a time when your wife is in great pain, she’s scared, she’s anxious, she’s pushing a human out of her body… and you make a point to draw attention to how you were deprived of attention.

“Like I didn’t have a right to be there supporting my missus”

What in the passive-aggressive, in no way did you actually feel this, narcissistic, self-prescribed, victimhood is this bullshit?

I hope this child matures you.^
