In a recent interview, rocker Scott Weiland explained where he was while his ex-wife was in labor with their first child. He was getting a massage. So…that explains the "ex" part.
Weiland said that he became "incredibly stressed out" while his wife was having contractions, so he called up a friend and "she gave me a massage."
Because he was sober at that time, he said he needed something to "take the edge off." The only "edge" happening in that scenario is the edge of a baby's foot kicking your wife in the coslopus.
If you can't handle the stress of your wife in labor, you better find a way to deal with it that doesn't involve any kind of spa activity. The only person that should be getting a massage during labor is the person in labor, a-hole.
I'd rather have my husband relapse and drink a bottle of whiskey then get a hot stone massage while I'm pushing eight pounds through something that was really only built to manage four to six.
