Women want men banned from the delivery room

Dang. Why couldn’t these busybodies have banned me from the delivery room 23 and 21 years ago respectively?

Now, of course, we’ve recognized for years that a lot of the vomiting during pregnancy is caused by the husband, also. You Ob/Gyns. have seen those studies, I’m sure.

But, putting that aside, it was my distinct impression that the two remaining midwives, in practice today, were currently married to Bill’s father, in the HBO series “Big Love.”

For those fathers who felt useless, in this article, all I can say is “Get used to it”-it gets worse as the children get older.

While this study has validity – I’m sure, I can only add that I too felt useless after completing basic infantry training in 1963, at Fort Jackson. I never got the chance to employ my weaponry skills in the manner in which I was schooled – so I am sympathetic to the needs of these fathers.

We need more studies of this nature in order to fully unravel those mysteries of life which continue to plague our very existence.

Perhaps if these fathers concentrated on taking out the garbage twice weekly, not squeezing the toothpaste from the top and leaving the toilet seat down, then they would have some immediate gratification in their attempts to overcome the same types of fruitless existence patterns that Albert Camus carefully pointed out, to us, in his “Myth of Sisyphus.”

Until that time comes – just continue to go to work daily and pay your medical insurance policy.Your wife and kids will be grateful – when all is said and done.

Dear Cathy,

I agree 100%

You know I was kidding. I have all the respect in the world for midwives and enjoyed reading your comments.

I’m 63 now, not very handsome, can’t get a date – and out of scheer boredom and lonliness – spend all night and day reading Kevin-Md.

I swore I would stop blogging. It’s a hard habit to break.

Best of everything to you.
