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

[DuelingFanjo]

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' ?

That is so not true of the nursery dd went to! But that is a different thread!

collen has a husband,supportive family,circle of friends she is very fortunate

Not true of the nursery mine went to either porto! But hey, let's not let that get in the way of a few mind boggling generalisations

Agree with Bonsoir that most of the ideas of what we have to do with babies, how mothers must behave and what is "natural" are cultural anyway. The Mummy Martyrs are simply imposing a particular social construction of motherhood on everyone else.

roneef you beat me I only lost three sotne in 10 days and got back in my size 10 jeans to go out for a couple of soft drinks in town. Got chatted up by a chap ten years younger and went home at 10ish when all the others went clubbing. I couldn't have faced going clubbing with leaky boobs!

If you want to sit in judgement that is your business not mine.

ii years on and I have a well adjusted dd who doesn't complain if I have the odd night out or time away from her and is happy to be with other people not glued to me or insecure.

I am interested in the thread that tells me why nurseries are horizon-broadening...

coleen looks so happy and glowing.

I think she looks like the plump WAG she has always looked like

happy is a frame of mind not dress size

She really doesn't look any different to the way she has always looked. There is nothing to say about her appearance.

i think she looks nice,great to see her out too

Oh well, variety is the spice of life . I've always thought she looks a bit like a cleaning lady, but there you go.

And I always thought you have your head up your own arse Bonsoir! But like you say, variety.....

Bonsoir 'plump wag' 'cleaning lady'

I bet you aren't half as fabulous as you believe yourself to be

'Cleaning lady' - you really are a nasty piece of work Bonsoir.

Well done for getting the bitch of the night award.

Actually, I think Bonsoir likes to be provocative as a method of attention seeking, it's just an adopted persona imo

She's young, what aged 23 and had a baby
Perhaps the people unable to go out after delivery are a little more, ahem, elderly

the article is actually quite complimentary of coleen

her vertiginous heels,well i could never manage that.i would be so scared of falling that id land on my arse for sure

aye darrel the ole gimmers can stay at home practising pelvic floor muscles exercised instead

indeed

greenmonkies frankly it is none of your business

You are the voice of reason Shiney!

It is pretty unusual behaviour though - I don't personally know anyone whose gone out minus baby quite so quickly.

Entirely up to her of course and presumably the baby is being well looked after.

With dc1 I felt totally overwhelmed and remember feeling very jealous of DH going off to meetings and out for drinks as it demonstrated his life had not changed as much as mine had.

I do think that if I'd had dc1 at 23 as opposed to 31 I would probably have wanted to go out again sooner.

Also am sure it makes a difference if you've had a nice birth and feeding is going well.

Not sure as to relevance of weight loss or are we having a competition as to who was back in their size 8 jeans first
