Could they not have popped to Cornwall (sorry Cornish people)?

Rivermedway · 11/08/2023 13:49

Waiting for the Go Fund campaign as they’re not covered by insurance… (sorry to be so cynical)

Or got one of these and saved herself the bother.

When you leave your 8 year old at home so that you can give birth on a foreign beach...

I’ve always found these do the job.

Words fail me 😱.

Well if it isn’t the consequences of their own actions.

Fuckwits.

Sounds gritty 😬

nobodysdaughternow · 11/08/2023 13:57

So she gave birth on a boat and now it's hurricane season, they are scared for their lives?

So natural.

Ah, you must be local! That pic brought back some memories 🥰

Ozgirl75 · 11/08/2023 14:02

I boggled also, but then I thought, my god, this couple are parents. They are responsible for bringing up two children and they are just utterly stupid, chaotic and alarmingly unaware of how to exist as adults. Those poor children.

Mumoftwoinprimary · 11/08/2023 14:03

They flew when she was 35 weeks! Which means she planned to leave her 8 year old for a good 2 months! 2 months! At 8!

TooBigForMyBoots · 11/08/2023 14:06

Aw mate, I hate it when that happens.😆😆😆

EvenlyDetermined · 11/08/2023 14:06

I usually try and give the people in stories such as this the benefit of the doubt, but fuck me, they really didn't think this through did they.

Ozgirl75 · 11/08/2023 14:07

And why the Caribbean? There are beaches here and in Europe. Although I suppose giving birth surrounded by sun loungers on Benidorm sea front doesn’t have the same cachet.

Jellycats4life · 11/08/2023 14:07

What a pair of thundering idiots.

But there must be something else to this story. There must be another reason why they chose to hop around various Caribbean islands in late pregnancy? There has to be more to it than “wanting to give birth on a beach”… even if she is a yoga teacher 🤣

discardedBox · 11/08/2023 14:08

Where do you start..??

And now they expect the government to rescue them!

Munchyseeds2 · 11/08/2023 14:08

Can't mitigate for stupid
Idiots!

AmeliaEarhart · 11/08/2023 14:12

The fact that they had to leave their oldest behind because they “couldn’t renew her passport” (why?? 🤔) should have been a sign that they were lacking the organisational skills to pull it off.

Menopausehaver · 11/08/2023 14:18

The worst thing is that they are complaining that no one is helping them,

AllAboardTootToot · 11/08/2023 14:33

The baby was born on a boat, who delivered it, made sure she was ok etc.

so many questions about this without even going into the ludicrous!

MeinKraft · 11/08/2023 14:44

So they gave birth on a boat and decided they wouldn't bother rocking up to get baby looked over by a health professional for several days?! Well, well, well, if it isn't the consequences of their own actions.

DrLightman · 11/08/2023 14:46

Christ there are no words!

BluesandClues · 11/08/2023 14:49

Talk about playing fast and loose with your pelvic floor!

SquatBetty · 11/08/2023 14:49

Just to reiterate everyone else

Christ Almighty! What a pair of absolute fuckwits. Clearly neither have particularly advanced critical thinking skills
