I immediately discount 50 year olds who criticize fathers for being there for the birth of their child and helping the mom during their recovery. There is no excuse I would buy for a man with his exposure not knowing how difficult it is for a new mother to be on her own in the first few months.

A quick search says he has 3 daughters of his own, so either he’s an idiot or he’s creating controversy for the sake of controversy or to pander to other idiots.

Sadly, being completely detached from the difficulty of "motherhoood" is a pretty common form of idiocy.
