I know that Kelly Rutherford and Daniel Giersch are getting divorced, but it is not the fault of their new baby girl. Yesterday Kelly gave birth and dad was a no show. Why? Does this mean he will be a no show for the entire life of the child? I think you need to be a man, or if it is Kelly's fault than she needs to grow up and do what is right for the child. Oh sure, the girl won't remember who was there when she was born or not, but she will be able to find out later and she is going to ask where her dad was and why the hell he wasn't there.
Dad's miss births everyday, all the time all over the world. Generally moms are there. I was trying to be funny and then I thought of Sarah Jessica Parker and her new twins. Is she considered the mom? If she isn't there, then I guess the mom wouldn't be there. Anyway, I can't imagine why Daniel would miss the birth. I'm pretty sure he must have had a good idea when it was going to happen.
If they can't come together for the birth of a child then I really have my doubts as to the way they are going to be able to bring up either child in the future.
Considering how much those two hate one and other, it's probably best that he wasn't there.
ReplyDeleteshe's shady, maybe she didn't tell him until after.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad. Of course this child is going to ask questions. There probably weren't any pictures. If there are, she'll ask where Daddy was - and if Kelly lies, the girl will find out in the end.
ReplyDeleteAs for SJP - she's probably involved in the checkups, ultrasounds, etc. Most parents of kids born to surrogates are.
If Kelly Rutherford and her ex/soon-to-be hate each other so much, it's probably better for the baby that she never gets exposed to her parents together. She won't miss it. From what I hear, labor is tough enough without having someone you hate there.
ReplyDeleteHmm ever think maybe baby isnt his ?? hmm ???
ReplyDeleteMaybe Kelly didn't want him there. If I were in her shoes I sure as hell wouldn't want him anywhere near me during labour. And before people start the whole 'it's his baby too blah blah blah' speech: until he carries that baby and then gives birth to it he's got no say on whether or not he's in the room. The baby will not remember who was in the room and who wasn't. I can tell you I wasn't emotionally scarred by the fact that my father wasn't present when my mom gave birth to me.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was commonplace back in the day for the husbands/fathers to be in the delivery room anyway, so what does it matter?
ReplyDeletePlus I agree with whomever said the part about added stress of having him there. I wouldn't want that in the least.
Maybe it is best as babies "feel" emotions/tensions, etc. This would have brought negative energy into the birthing suite.
ReplyDeleteAmen, WBotW - you beat me to it. Mom's got a pretty tough job to do that day, and if she doesn't want him around, that's her business.
ReplyDeleteIf she didn't want him there - so be it. He can be a great father without being present for the delivery. My DH missed the second one being born; he was still parking the car.
ReplyDeleteI think you're reading a bit too much into this, Ent.
ReplyDeleteNot every dad wants to be in the delivery, especially after they've already had a kid and have seen all the unpleasantries (pet theory: why many marriages fail after the first kid - who wants to stick it in after you've seen an afterbirth come out of there? just kidding).
Even women who love their husbands get abusive during labor.
ReplyDeleteI also heard a dna test was in order for this kid on some site. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm sure he wouldn't want to be there for the delivery, but you'd think he'd be waiting outside the room to get that first glimpse of his kid.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that the child is not his....too many problems with this couple...poor kids.
ReplyDeleteWell Sis, if you are correct, that may explain his absence. Waiting for the DNA test before he does some bonding with new baby.
ReplyDeletethis is just sad.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Jax. Sounds like she never called him to clue him in that the baby was being born.
ReplyDeleteIf there is that much hate between these two, she probably told him not to be there via her lawyers and he listened. So be it.
ReplyDeleteNo clue how they are going to be able to settle this civilly.
They are going through a divorce. Let's face it, childbirth is messy and your goodies are exposed for everyone to see. I can't say I blame her.
