WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO LEAVE BABY FOR THE FIRST TIME?
Just out of sheer curiosity, when do you think is the right time to leave a baby for the first time? Should it be when baby is still very new, and so does not fully realise who is actually taking care of them because they possibly have no sense of real attachment, say at seven weeks old. Or, should it be when baby is older, and has a clear sense of recognition for say, the face of their nanny, grandparent etc. Or, is there no right or wrong time to leave baby for the first time, and so therefore it would not make any difference either way?

7 weeks is too soon. But if you're waiting for ABC to show any sign of caring for her bb don't hold your breath.
ReplyDeleteI'm a mother myself and i sure as hell would never leave my son to go on a (short) holiday...
ReplyDeleteNo matter how old he is.
Baby's cry for their mothers all the time at this age- so tiny and fragile, Mother's instinct would tell me not to do it.
ReplyDeleteABC herself wasn't brought up in the "real world". She's a child of priviledge and wealth. She herself probably had nannies and probably sees nothing wrong with leaving her baby. I'm not a mother, but I would not leave my baby and this age. I'd wait a bit longer. I think she's more about getting photographed with her famous bf than being a mom anyway. Sad for poor Henry. I can say I'm a bit surprised at Colin as well taking this trip so soon. To each their own I reckon.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an ABC fan, but I don't dislike her either. I really just don't care about her at all. If her and Colin split tomorrow, I wouldn't go an inch out of my way to know anything about her. Now, having said that, I don't think this Mexico trip, by itself is any reason to think she's an awful person. While I agree that most and myself included would not go on a vacation that quick, I need more of a reason to discount someone. There's details of their lives that we know nothing about. I'm going to withhold any negative opinion on it, until I see more from her and how often they do this.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll see they'll do it quite a bit!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a difficult one I feel as to not have an opinion on. I guess ultimately it is a case of each and everyone to their own. But for what it's worth, I will readily admit, it sat very uneasy with me.
ReplyDeleteI find it almost unbelievable that Alicja as a first time mother would, and could, and did leave her baby so early on. And as for Colin, I was very shocked that he felt the need for a vacation quite so soon after his second son's arrival. You would perhaps think they might have at least waited until an actual 'work commitment' obliged them to be away from baby as opposed to being seen as so 'casually' deciding a little weekend break was in order to recharge the batteries! Surely, they must have known how such a trip would be preceived by the public, and let's remember they are two people whose career's depend upon public opinion to some degree.
So even if they were too wrapped up in their own self-importance, perhaps one of their agents should have advised them... "erm, for the good of your career and public image guys this is maybe NOT such a wise move"!!! b-(
It's very easy to sit in judgement - but we don't know the circumstances around this break. About 5 years ago a close friend of mine had an horrendous end to her pregnancy -she was almost bedridden & couldn't keep food down. Her baby was induced and delivered early. She has very weak after the birth. When her baby was about the same age as Henry her family surprised her and her partner with a night in a luxury hotel & some treats for the next day. I looked after the baby for several hours before the grandmother collected her. At that age I'm sure the baby was none the wiser & my friend still talks about that kind gesture to this day. Babies are separated from their mothers for a multitude of reasons - as long as they are cared for I can't see the problem. It's not as if ABC & CF are down the pub every night - give them a break b-(
ReplyDeleteYou don't leave your 7 weeks old child with a nanny so you can go vacationing in Mexico,period!!
ReplyDeleteColin and Alicja are louzy and selfish parents,shame on them.
Poor little boy...
