Did anyone feel a little sorry for Earl at the end?

Okay, he was a jackass, we know that. But the fact remains, he was the father of the baby. How can jenna just take the baby, and say "don't ever touch me, don't ever come near me, blah blah blah" and then have him thrown out of the room when his daughter was born just moments earlier?

Even though he wanted a boy, and he's a jerk, and told her not to love the baby more than him which is insane, the point is, he should still have some kind of presence in the baby's life. And the way it ended, was so fairy tale like... like jenna and the baby will just live together forever in a wonderful little life with no interference from anybody.

The guy who constantly emotionally abused his wife, physically abused her and basically threatened to rape her?

You feel bad that he won’t be involved in his daughter’s life? Are you insane? He was a misogynistic prick, who clearly didn’t want a girl and was jealous of his own damn kid. Thank God the mother took her away
