Why would a father NOT want to be at the birth of their child?
This article is not to judge, just to explore the decisions...
I assume it could be for different reasons;
maybe he is squeamish- in this case, could he at least "try" to hang in there?
I have seen a father practically pass out when the baby was delivered, but he made it through!
maybe he is "old school"- from a day & time when fathers waited outside in the hall... are there fathers this old much though?
maybe he is out-of-town or deployed- he wants to be there, but physically cannot. Webcam, maybe?

What are some other reasons a father may choose to not be in the home/room when their child is born? Seemingly, they will all be 'legitimate' reasons, as NO feelings are wrong! Feedback, please...

I was reading an article about the chef Gordon Ramsey and he was quoted as saying he did not attend the births of his children because he wouldn't find his wife sexy any longer if he saw the baby emerge. :P Too bad... he came across as a very hands-on dad on his show The F-Word (food) when he and his kids raised their own livestock.
