There were some Very British Replies™ to the American ‘husband of the year’ who did this during his wife’s labour
This ‘husband of the year’ has gone wildly viral on Twitter, although for very different reasons either side of the Atlantic.
Over in the US, broadcaster ABC had nothing but praise for the guy who did this.
“You are my best friend, soulmate, and in just a few pushes, you’ll be the most amazing mother our daughter could ever ask for.”

Except, over in the UK, people had a different take. A very different take.

Husband of the year….my husband went and got me a crunchie when I was in labour and to me this is highly preferably. This would have sent me in to a rage. You breath mate https://t.co/aslSE9GC8G

People are mocking this but I think it’s nice for dads to volunteer to get their noses broken midway through labour.
That way mother and father can climb the pain relief ladder together. https://t.co/j4bmp5Ayn0

Imagine if a woman did this while a man did something VAGUELY comparable, like "having the shits", or "puking his guts out with e coli." READ THE ROOM. https://t.co/kvvEh2L4Q0

Hmmm. I would correct this to ‘American husband of the year.’
I suspect most British mums would tell him to shove his ‘motivational’ book where the sun don’t shine… https://t.co/ljIDO0LIn3— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 20, 2019
