When You Say Stupid Things
Joanna and I attended our first of four “Birthing Classes” on Sunday, complete with pillows, mats, birthing balls and… videos. I could definitely do without the videos. Just way too much that I don’t want to see.
So, we break up into groups, the pregnant people and the support people, and the instructor wants us to write down the ONE thing we want to get out of the class. Most people in my group are saying things like, “I want to understand my role as a support person,” “I want to know what to do in an emergency,” stuff like that.
This one guy says, “I want to know how to keep my wife from yelling at me during labor.”
He was serious.
We then had to read them out loud to everybody.
His wife wasn’t happy.

I think they could have done without the zoom lens on the camera when they filmed the birth video. That guy has guts saying that. I was told a story of a friend’s coach who was delivering their 4th child & the woman was in pain & the husband told her that she knew it would be painful & she knew what she was getting herself into when she wanted another baby. The woman didn’t complain again.
