^^^Found one!^^^ So do you do the tub or an inflatable pool? Eat the placenta?

Epileptic Beagle

None of the above. But nice try.

SandYFan

Pickled placenta on crackers is unbelievable.

Why shouldn't the father get a say in how his child is brought into the world?

Is this a trick question?

PlanoCougar

Are you married?

SandYFan

Married with six children actually. This topic hits very close to home for me

Epidural? Wife's decision. Home v. hospital? How could it not involve both?

Try telling your wife how it is and let me know the result.

Mister P

5/4/15 2:50pm

The thing is, we are absolutely a team on everything else. But birth? Nope.

SandYFan

So when it comes to the health of your child and safety during childbirth, you

Mister P

5/4/15 2:55pm

Mister P, Buddy . . . you're conflating too many different things

PlanoCougar

5/4/15 3:00pm

I think we are talking about two different things.

Mister P

5/4/15 3:03pm

Your 3rd sentence is why I will not be taking your advice on

PlanoCougar

5/4/15 2:53pm

And you equated a baby to a kidney stone...

Please don't knock my collection . . . I've birthed each

How else do you explain Utah baby names?

Mister P

5/4/15 2:56pm

Touche! Although, it's funny . . . I think

PlanoCougar

5/4/15 3:06pm

You poor soul.

benny1982

5/4/15 2:52pm

So... you've done that?

SandYFan

5/4/15 2:53pm

What? Discussed how our babies were going to be born? Yes.

benny1982

5/4/15 2:56pm

If she was dead set on a home birth, what would you do?

SandYFan

5/4/15 2:57pm

We'd at least talk about it and pray about it together.

benny1982

5/4/15 3:00pm

So you'd completely change your own opinion? Or you'd bite the bullet

SandYFan

5/4/15 3:03pm

I say "if" b/c you asked a hypothetical that won't happen.

So how did it go with the MIL and your six births?

I would have told her to pound sand. She sounds horrible.

Epileptic Beagle

You should have been there when we discussed vaccinations.

There's too much to talk about. I've thought about writing a book about my

What are they going to do?

SandYFan

5/4/15 3:19pm

The Church doesn't budge on vaccinations. They had to get them.

buhlcougar

5/4/15 3:30pm

That's gotta hurt their testimonies.

SandYFan

Because the father's not pushing a 7-pound baby out of his birth canal
