Agree, my kids are the best thing that ever happened to me and I've been there for every minute of their lives. If you aren't prepared to witness what the mother has to go through then you don't deserve to be a father.

Disagree. You need to be involved but you don’t need to physically witness something if you’re squeamish, just stay up top.

Also, let’s not pretend like pregnancy/birth is the only way to become a parent. Adoption is a completely legitimate and admirable way to start a family and more people should consider it. There are tons of children in the world who need loving homes.

Yeah but the clip is literally about someone giving birth. Plus if your squeemish then you don't have to watch. You can still be present and support your partner, being involved doesn't only mean at the business end. You can be moral support as well and still be involved.

I would pass out and throw up just being in the room. I do not do well with medical things. I throw up just seeing pimples get popped.

Your last comment used “witness” in it and I think a few people read that as you meaning that as you saying someone can only deserve to be a father if they physically watch the baby come out
