I like how everyone is giving shit to the dude for “not being there for his wife,” because I remember the OG post from Reddit where OP and his wife were explaining that it was cool, she said it was okay and even encouraged it, and was unconscious most of the time during recovery anyway.

For me it’s the bit about bringing almost a whole desk setup instead of using the portable as a portable

  Yeah seriously use a gaming laptop at that point. The point of the Steam Deck is that it’s compact and quick to put away

People don’t realize how much downtime there actually is even in a normal pregnancy. Baby and mama get sleepy. But in something like an emergency C section scenario, especially if the baby is early you could be looking at a half week recovery period for mom and the baby gets locked up in NICU jail for a week… Where you only get visiting hours for your own kid.

You shouldn’t just be there because the woman is important to you, but above all the child. From that point on, it shows that he’s not in the mood and is more focused on his hobbies. So he can’t separate himself from his shitty technology at such important events and maybe just read a book or something…

I feel bad for the kids future

  Bruh newborns sleep a lot.
  
  So do women recovering from childbirth.
  
  Most of what they’re doing is sleeping.
  
  For multiple days, you’re kind of just at the hospital to be support when needed. There’s not a lot to do if you don’t bring it with you.
  
  One thing is clear about a lot of guys here, and that’s that they don’t have children and are almost certainly single.
