I don't feel obligate to have her there, I am just not sure she realises what a privilige to attend ANYONES birth even if she is just observing. She is relatively young too I'd say maybe 20 years in age.
Part of me wants to cut her a break its for her benefit for her to observe as many different types of births. But then if she cannot do her "job" so to speak, does she deserve the break ...

I don't know. I get so tunnel visioned when I am in labour I won't know who is there ... like the whole world just disappears and I am left in my world of pain and moaning

Ultimately I know its my decision ... but I am just wondering if faced with the same position whether others would cut the kid a break and have her there or not because she has not done her duties?
