Vice, I really miss you. What happened to your actually intelligent and intetesting articles. You’re more like That’s Life now than you are yourself. As a midwife, a (thankfully) few times in my career, I’ve had a male partner ask me to put in an extra stitch whilst I was completing a new mother’s obstetrical laceration repair. I’ve usually treated the I’m The Husband Of A Colombian Woman Nothing Scares Me Shirt with stony silence and a pointed stare or disappointed shake of the head (or ignored it entirely), but I’m always tempted to comment to the person making the request that he must be very small in size to need that. Julie M Dowdy , Caroleen Ginger, and Claudia Ness, i appreciate your strong feelings of advocacy, which I share. However, I will choose not to act in a confrontational way during my patient’s first quiet and sweet moments with her baby, which would introduce tension and interfere with the mother and baby’s precious bonding time.
