Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay missed the births of his four kids - because he feared it would spoil his sex life.
Ramsay's fear was not hidden from his wife Tana. He told her everything honestly.
"We have the most amazing life. We're very active in the bedroom and I think you're a beautiful lady," The Sun quoted him, as telling his wife.
"I don't want to see something coming out of a sort of sci-fi movie.
"I don't want to see a skinned rabbit or skinned pigeon coming out of your ninny and then get excited and hold it.
"Give it to me when it's all nice and sort of clean and ready to go," he added. (ANI)

I waited in the waiting room during the birth of my children, a man shouldn’t even be in the birthing room, what a joke, real men wait in the waiting room. Period.
I was present for a live birth. I was a stand-in for a no show “father”. I never want to see that again and certainly not from my wife. Slap it on the butt and call me when it’s clean. I’ll be downstairs smoking.
It is a still from one the Alien movies, but I like your explanation better.
Isn’t it fairly recent that fathers were allowed to go into the delivery room? How would I know because I adopted 3 children but I remember sitting in the waiting room with fathers who weren’t allowed in there.
I can understand him not wanting to witness the birth the same way I didn’t want to witness my husbands double by pass surgery. It would have been very disturbing. He should have just shut up about his feelings.
It may have been the pale green tint to my complexion. Perhaps it was the sweat pouring through that cap covering my hair. For some reason, the nurses decided that the best thing for me to do was hold my wife's hand and wipe her brow.
LOL!!!!
“Uh, Gordon, you idiot, you can be in the delivery room and not look when something is coming out of your wife’s ‘ninny’. Just be there for her instead of being a self-centered moron.”
exactly.
He can stand up by her head and not have to see what’s going on with the other end.
Some people get nauseaus - or they’re afraid to be present during such a dramatic and emotional event.
Maybe the guy’s afraid he’ll pass out cold.
I agree with you !!!
Except for the part of hubby or anyone else bringing a camera to record my....uh....the details.... ;-)
I can see where it makes sense to be there holding your hand, sympathizing with your pain, and wiping your brow -- but watching the actual messy delivery itself is a first class put-off. Easy for you to you demand it of him -- you don't have to watch that end of the ordeal -- you deliver, the nurses clean you and the little treasure up, and the first glimpse you have of your baby is of a nice clean little tyke, ready to be hugged, kissed and cuddled -- not allmost unforgetable, bloody, practically unidentifiable squalling something or other.
I served at the Brook Army Medical Center At Fort Sam Houston, Texas for a while. I was present at a few deliveries -- fortunately I have a rather strong stomach but, I knew several soldiers who didn't -- including Infantry combat vets, who were completely turned off by the experience. And, yes, even a couple whose home life went to hell in short order afterwards. Fair or right? Don't ask me, ask them.
But I think your attitude is a bit silly and quite selfish.
Ninny?
I felt the same as this Gordon character, but ended up going and watched a c-section (due to complications)of my son being born. I sat and watched in awe as to what was happening all around. I highly recommend it and good luck.
Ninny? ROFLMAO!!!!
That one jumped out at me too. LOL
I think he’s sexy. However if he called me a stupid donkey—sci-fi movies, skinned rabbits & ninnies would be the least of his problems.
But I give him credit for being honest.
I was there for the birth of all three of my children, although I confess to looking away when things got down to the nitty gritty, so to speak.
I also couldn’t bring myself to cut the umbilical cords on my first two, although I finally got up the courage to do it on the last one.
We have done three unassisted births after my wife’s midwife dropped us with 6 weeks to go before the birth of our second child. I guess I’m not a real man.
bump!
