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)

Ninny?
LOL! That's hilarious! At least he's honest about it!
Four kids and he’s gay as a May pole.
Well, well. An honest men. Whodathunkit?
If that were my husband and he refused to be there after he helped make the baby, his sex life would be non-exisistant.
Note to Gordo - have some unexpressed thoughts, buddy.
I used to think that everyone had “someone that loved them”.
Gordon Ramsay may have shattered that image. This “man” is completely without recompense. I hope his children prefer not to see him when they leave the house for fear that his “nose hair may ruin the image of dad” or something equally as shallow.
Oh, and I hope someone throws a pot of boiling water at his face.
THAT said. . .it has been noted that for many men; this is precisely what happens. Just consider it, 'their' problem; and let them keep it as such.
My wife is due in 2 weeks and loves Gordon.
Maybe if I show her this article she’ll let me off the hook.
I’m actually aware of a lot of men who feel very similar. Not me, however. When our son was born, I wanted to be right in there helping out any way I could.
honest - yes. man...
I’m with him! Clean him up and make him smell good...then give me my boy!
Was it Thomas Paine the wrote a Modest Proposal? I wonder if a baby could be substituted for a rabbit or skinned pigeon by Ramsay if he decided to feed the world.
Maybe he’s just old fashioned. Both approaches to being there and sweating it out in the waiting room have their pluses and minuses.
There’s a very fine line between British and gay.
If the baby came out with a mug looking like Gordon’s mug then that would kill anyone’s sex life. A mirror would kill that guy’s sex life.
Certainly an honest man. In the old days, no man ever saw his wife give birth. If Gordon Ramsay wants to keep that a private thing then more power to him! (Anyhow, I’m a huge fan of his shows.)
My wife and I had our first just about three months ago.
We also enjoy watching Gordon now and again - only in small doses though. And we prefer Kitchen Nightmares (Brit version on BBC America) to Hell's Kitchen
Are you off your meds? That's the only thing that would justify that vile post.
Who is Gordon Ramsey? Is he that angry, screaming chef on TV? If so, his attitude doesn’t surprise me. The guy’s an egomaniac, it’s all about him. God forbid that he should consider how his wife feels about the situation.
I spewed coffee on that one. Thanks.
Well he’s just saying what is on a few men’s minds I’m sure :(
Not if you already paid for and took the Lamaze classes :) Did anyone tell you about having to go to breast feeding classes? The Nipple Nazis will want you to be there.

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.
You're generally standing at your wife's side with your back to her knees verbally encouraging her, holding her hands, mopping her brow, giving her ice chips, etc.
LOL. My wife and I watch Gordon all the time. For those getting terribly upset about this, please consider first that this is “WebIndia123”!? I’d take Gordon’s comments with a “grain of salt”....maybe a pinch of finely ground sea salt. I’ve heard “leave me out in the waiting room” jokes all the time. Many of those dads ended up being right there for the delivery.
What? Chef Ramsay didn’t want to bite the umbilical cord with his teeth? He wasn’t the least bit curious about the placenta? And I thought ‘offal’ was all the rage among English chefs.
At least the portions will be large.
I give him A+ credit for honesty, but man he totally should have kept that to himself.
His sex life with you.
LOL

That's how it is. Plus, the dad can cut the cord. To witness a child coming into the world is a sacred moment in life and to willingly miss that opportunity because of such selfish reasons boggles the mind.
I witnessed a teenage birth during my clinical rotation. I think the teen father might be scarred for life. OTOH, he unlike Gordon Ramsay might be more mature about his responsibilities than GR. I’ve seen his show and it’s not really all that special.
He doesn't want to see the intense biological moments of childbirth, and he'd prefer that his first view of his child be one that doesn't involve mucomium, blood, and more. So be it. Allow him to enjoy the birth of his child in his own way, folks. The ONLY person who has any valid input here is his wife. If she has no problem with his preferences, then why should anyone else? Do all celebrities have to follow our Taliban-esque lifestyle demands now? Jeez.
That’s gotta be a rarity, a teen mother giving birth with the teen father present instead of in prison or out getting someone else in trouble.

omg
All babies look like Winston Churchill anyway.
Not quite the same, but while I sat next to my wife during her c-sections, I did NOT watch the procedure. I just didn’t think I could handle seeing parts of her sitting around outside.
Are you kidding me? They are the DRUDGE REPORT of Calcutta! /sarc

As I am watching his shows I sometimes feel like you do, when he berates these people and treats them shabbily (does that sound British?). Then I think, “Hey, these folks signed up for this. They decided to compete in Hell’s Kitchen, or invited this jerk to come and critique their restaurants. He is a pain, but it turns out that he is usually right, also (at least on the shows that make it on TV). I wouldn’t want to hang out with the guy, but if his wife does, who am I to say anything about it.
For the record, I was in the room when our twin boy/girl were born, and wouldn’t have been anywhere else. In our case it was a c-section, so the “ninny” was spared, but there were enough other indignities in the whole process (we went through infertility testing of ALL sorts) that a weak sex life might not have survived it. (Point of clarification: our sex life is strong, although not sufficiently frequent, at least from my perspective, but I suspect I am not the only one in here to have that point of view.)
