If there is one type of social media content that we can rely on heterosexual married women to put out, it's a video about how useless their husbands are. Time and again, faithful wives seem to wake up and decide that the incompetence of the man they chose to spend their life with makes for cutesy and entertaining viewing.
To put it bluntly, this is a dumb idea. There is nobody out there who loves making sweeping judgments more than the wider internet, especially when it looks like it might be justified.
One TikToker was the latest long-suffering wife to find this out the hard way, after sharing a list of unhelpful and inappropriate things her husband had done while she was going into labor. Many viewers were quick to point out that the way he had been acting was careless, and even pretty mean at times.
Although she quickly uploaded a defense of her hapless partner, the damage had already been done. There is only so much we can put down to panicking while someone is giving birth.
