She’s Sharing A List Of Ridiculous Reasons Dads Gave For Why They Missed The Birth Of Their Children
The birth of a child is a moment that most new parents look forward to for months. They wouldn’t miss the occasion for anything because not a single thing in the world could be more important.
But some parents would rather be doing something else besides watching their child emerge from the womb.
TikToker Anna (@anna.the.nurse) is a labor and delivery nurse, and she’s going over a list of ridiculous reasons dads gave for why they missed the birth of their children.
The first reason on the list was that he could not go number two in a hospital bathroom, so he went home to relieve himself.
“Excuse me, sir, but she’s most likely going to have a number two in front of all of us when she delivers your child,” said Anna.
The next reason a father missed his child’s birth was that he had left the oven on at home. Anna noted that this excuse was valid but questioned why he couldn’t have just called a neighbor and asked them to take care of it.
Number three: he went out to smoke a cigarette, even though the hospital was a non-smoking campus.
Number four: he had to change his socks. Anna mentioned that he could’ve just worn a pair of hospital socks instead of going all the way back home.
And last on the list was that he didn’t want to watch her suffer, which is a reason that Anna has mixed feelings about.

“Clearly, he should be supportive when she needs him, especially in a time of pain and vulnerability if she wants him there,” said Anna.
But if the woman in labor would rather have their mom or best friend with them instead of the father of her child, then that’s a different story.
Several TikTok users revealed in the comments section why their dads or partners weren’t around when their babies were born.
“My ex-husband was almost late to my emergency cesarean because he wanted to get his haircut to look good for his son,” commented one user.
“My stepdad almost missed the birth of my sister, his child, to eat fish & chips. He’s a farmer, I’m sure he could’ve stomached eating in the room,” stated another.
“My dad missed my sister’s birth because he had to park the car. (He drove my mom to the hospital),” wrote a third.
“My dad didn’t attend my birth because he didn’t want to miss wrestling,” commented someone else.
