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

Of course she may not be sleep deprived. She may in fact prefer her phone to her child.

Buti think the glee with which some on here want her to be selfish and idle, a bad parent and a disinterested mother, is really sad. Posting vitriol at a young mother on a parenting support site sits pretty uncomfortably IMO.

She is fucking annoying and talentless. But I would rather assume that she is doing her best because some of the assumptions are horrible.

I did it once when ds3 was 6 months old. He was in forward facing buggy and I bumped him down the curb and out he fell.

Horrified isn't the word. He had a big bump on his head.

I've never done it again.

oh honeydragon that looks sore bless her, but she is still smiling!

btw ds1 was 3 yrs old when i gave him a black eye by pushing him out the way of ds2's projectile vomit, he is 13 and i still feel bad! thats parenting for you!

and i still think that the pavements should be complained about, yes she should have strapped her child in, but the pavements should still be safe to walk on and anyone could have tripped over there, it jsut happened to be her pushchair and not person.

She leaves herself wide open to criticism by posting about it on twitter - lying about what happened to make herself look better.

And yes, she probably was sleep deprived. She got married two days ago.

I said sleep deprived because I think she looks pretty knackered tbf and I was giving her the benefit of the doubt.

She might well have help. The baby could have been at Grandpa Bob's, she could have been out on the lash the night before for all we know (would still make her sleep deprived I guess).

I've done some silly things when I've been in the mists of sleep deprivation. Mostly forgetful, nothing dangerous but that's what I was getting at - maybe she forgot the straps but I'm pretty sure she'll remember them in future!

Yes, you're right - she's simply not flagellating herself anywhere near enough.

Hopefully she's at home right now saying 50 Hail Marys and giving herself a flogging.

So - if you've made mistakes, why not give someone else who's also made one a break??

Peaches was incredibly lucky nothing worse happened. I imagine she was probably panicking down the phone at whoever she was talking too.

No one stopped to help dd or I either when the pushchair tipped. Did get a fantastically judgy look though.

We don't know who she was on the phone with, she may have been on the phone with someone keeping her calm.

When the kids get hurt my reaction is to stop the crying then phone my mum for reassurance.

AYe right the babies weight popped open the straps

Whatever lok

Because she lied about it and made crappy excuses instead of saying

'my bad'

why because she is defending herself against twats like you see on here questioning does she care for her phone more than her own child, how could she do this and still talk on her phone outcry

maybe she thought she had strapped him in like i thought i had strapped ds in the car only realised i had not when he was pulling himself out of his chair and i thought that is strange

everlong that is a horrible situation for a mother. And the pain and the guilt one has, in my case, years after that incident, is horrible, yes.

Its not even like she can turn to her own mum is it? I'm sure her dh, dad and sisters supported her.

She also tweeted she was on the phone to her husband at the time.

She isn't defending herself, she is making stuff up. That baby was not strapped in.

I just don't get why she can't say 'oops, baby is fine, carry on!'

She loves being in the spotlight, Jensen the stupid reactions

Carry on judging then - you're obviously enjoying it.

o

I'm not judging the incident as such (although he should be strapped in)

I'm judging the 'oh it's the roads'
'oh he was strapped in'

Like
You have never judged anyone before.
Everyone judges at some
Point

I also judge people who smoke in pregnancy (shock!)

Kayano read your posts back on here. Then decide why Peaches is back pedalling/lying/making stuff up/deflecting blame etc etc

Is that the baby you immaced and dyed blue Honey?
We all know you're a baaaad mother

Very daft of her to say the weight of her son "popped it open"

Can you imagine the manufacturers trying to deal with that comment?

The pram would have been vigorously tested to make sure that couldn't happen.

It was a silly mistake, very silly

Doesn't matter, she should just take some responsibility surely?

"The baby's weight popped the fastenings open"? Well then that's the fault of the pram company. Peaches must be outraged!

Seriously though, she's being silly. She should just admit her mistake. It was no one else's fault. She was being a dozy mare!

Of course I judge, but there is just something really uncomfortable about this thread. An innocent mistake, by a new mother, and being given such a hard time on a parenting website.

If you don't see it, then I can't explain it.

Maybe she felt it was quicker to just keep the phone tucked by her ear thus having both hands free than to put the phone away. Yes she could have dropped the phone and probably broken it but by then the baby is on the floor anyway. You can't tell from the pics how fast it happened or how hard the baby hit the ground. It's likely the baby was protected by the back of the cars eat and then slithered out a bit. So she probably knew the baby wasn't hurt and therefore didn't drop her phone.

She's learnt a lesson I'm sure.

Have to say the pram looks crap with small front wheels and a bit top heavy. Different to what prams were like 12 years ago. I don't think dd's pram would have tipped up if I'd tried to make it!

Behind closed doors she probably HAS taken some responsibility. She might have gone home and sobbed all day for all we know. I would be defensive if a load of internet harpies were going to judge/pour scorn on me for a mistake. It's one thing saying "my bad" to your family, another saying it to a load of judgypants in cyberspace.
