OK - it's the daily Mail so no wonder it's Judgy - Coleen Rooney

out gigging and drinking 9 days after the birth

Is it wrong to be a little bit or mean to be even slightly judgy?

Or perhaps it should be more 'bloody good for her' ?

Why can't you be deeply in love and fascinated by your babies and still enjoy some time away from them too? The two things aren't mutually exclusive you know!

I am deeply in love with my DH but we're not velcroed together.

LOL at noddy's comment re pp!

Just to reitterate her baby is nine days old.

I am unaware of attachment parenting, since when does everything needing an effing label?

I love the fact that all those that disagree with me have to completely skew my view into some sort of 'mother-chained-to-baby-for-fifteen-years' in order to make my view more easy to oppose.

I don't have archiac views on motherhood, I simply think if you can't give up a few nights out when their first born it's a shame.

And I do spend way too much time on MN.

Why do you need to reiterate that her baby is 9 days old?

And i thought she has only had one night out, not a 'few' nights

like i say, i left my baby to go shopping when he was 7 days old, it wasnt a shame, or mean or harmful, i just got on with 'life', if i stayed at home staring at my baby 24/7 i might go insane, doesnt mean im not in love with him either

I don't think anyone needs to skew your point pp, to oppose it.

You object to someone going out without their baby when it is nine days old. You call it 'mean' and 'sad' among other things, and imply that a mother who does that can't be 'totally in love with' or 'fascinated' by her baby.

Yet you utterly fail to explain why you feel it's ok to judge someone you don't know like that.

Ok, - you didn't want to go out without your baby. Fine. No one is criticising you for that. So why are you unable to accept that other parents love their children just as much and raise them just as well but differently????????

"I love the fact that all those that disagree with me have to completely skew my view into some sort of 'mother-chained-to-baby-for-fifteen-years' in order to make my view more easy to oppose."

Er, no, actually I just think it's none of your business to seek to dictate what a new mother "should" do, as long as the baby isn't being neglected.
