To think Peaches Geldof should have strapped her baby in?

[KnockKnockPenny]

and also, put the phone down when her baby fell out of his pram!

Have just seen photos of her poor baby tumbling out of his pram onto a pavement. I know the council should have sorted the pavement out, but he wouldnt have fallen out if he was strapped in :(

sorry for The Sun link

where did i say I was proud - just that mistakes are made and I doubt anyone here hasn't done something a bit stupid with their kids. Oh there was the time I forgot to strap the baby seat in the car and the buggy tipped right over going up an escalator (luckily strapped in). Can i have another (catsbum face) and lots of unnecessary !!! and ???

yes she takes pics and tweets them but to take pictures of a baby that is falling out of a pushchair and COULD be seriously hurt is crap imo

Prairie - I'm sure it happens to mothers on benefits all the time, just as it happens to many, many other people. People make mistakes. I don't think people are defending her because she's a celebrity, we are defending her because she's a new mother and a human being (I think)

Of course parents make mistakes

But we put our phones down to correct them and say 'oh I made a mistake by not strapping them in' rather than tweeting about how it's London roads that are to blame

Take some ownership of your mistakes and we would be more sympathetic

She's embarrassed hence the blaming the pavements.

I can see why she's embarrassed and defensive seeing as she will get a load of sticks from the Pious Crew who've never put a foot wrong EVER.

All these mothers who care more about their phone than their baby! Good thing you lot on this thread have your priorities right!

Prairie you are all over the boards going on about how much more people on benefits get and to bring stuff like tat up in this thread is

A) irrelevant
B) pathetic

Oooh... I feel rather over awed to be in the presence of such perfect mothers. It must be so lovely to be ohh so perfect and excellent.

I am not. I love my kids more than life itself. But there are times I have got it wrong. There are times in the future that I will get it wrong. There are times that my kids will hate me. If I get it mostly right, when times are tough, I am the person my children will turn too. I am wise enough to know that. I am wise enough to know that my children cannot be expected to be perfect all the time. Sometimes they are annoying, sometimes they are downright PITAs.

Why have a pop at someone who clearly just had a little accident. No one was hurt.

She might well be sleep deprived. Why the ? We don't know!

People do stupid things. I've heard of mothers making themselves cups of coffee, pouring boiling water from the kettle into a cup, whilst holding their babies. Nothing went wrong, thankfully but it's a silly thing to do. Great mothers in every other way though.

But we do put a foot wrong, but we say 'oh I put a foot wrong'

Am I the only one who

Each is a haiku?

Feel a bit sorry for her, as people say, mistakes are easily made. But tweeting a few fibs was silly, and I would have put the phone down. Maybe she'll learn from this! Just as well all is ok...

Because she might equally not be sleep deprived. It's just total pointless
Speculation.

No-one here said they are perfect mothers. Read what people are saying.

she held her phone under her chin she did not stand there and carry on the conversation how did that take up more time

when my pram tipped over as bad as i felt what mistake had i made

Rubbish Kayano I simply pointed out that for many just over the benefit line there is not a lot of difference in real terms from those on it,not a lot wrong with that imvho and nothing to do with this thread.

I had a pram tipping incident in boots when I was looking after my little sister I was 19 and she was just over 1, there was shopping on the back of the pram but it wasn't so heavy it would tip the pram over, I was checking some photos at boots and my sister managed to wriggle out of her straps and lean on the back of the pram (silly big 3 wheeler thing that was popular a decade ago) the pram fell over and she fell onto the shopping, screaming baby and shopping everywhere and people just tutted at me because in their eyes I was an irresponsible teenage mum.

Oh we have had threads
Filled with wonderful haikus
They are fucking ace

Hahaha @ ArthurFowlersAllotment

Yes. Alas poor Giraffe.

"All these mothers who care more about their phone than their baby! Good thing you lot on this thread have your priorities right!"

Precisely - nothing to
Do with this thread, yet you are the one who brought it up

what bupcakes said she is embarrassed, hence blaming the pavement and she is right that the pavement shouldnt be that uneven, it could have been an elderly person that tripped over it, that wouldnt make the papers tho.

and i would like to think that i would have just dropped my phone/put it down but actually in these situations you do NOT always do the most logical thing, you panic/get flustered etc and you dont always think straight.

As a non-parent, I have to say when I've seen a baby of that age in a pram I have wondered what the point in straps is. I had daydreams of them becoming like little miniature Hulks, strong-arming their way out of the pram making restraints necessary....so in essence, thank you Peaches. You've shown me why they are important and prevented my spawn from possible future injury.

kayano what you wrote here, I totally agree with

Of course parents make mistakes

But we put our phones down to correct them and say 'oh I made a mistake by not strapping them in' rather than tweeting about how it's London roads that are to blame
Take some ownership of your mistakes and we would be more sympathetic

And I was simply making the point Honeytea has-it's double standards.

Oh, FGS! If you get out of a lift on the wrong floor and stride out confidently, do people shout 'You got out ont he wrong floor. YOu MADE A MISTAKE. ADMIT IT'

Why should it be like that with motherhood?
