Is it precocious of her?

Posted this in Chat but didn't get much of a response.

My friend gave birth Saturday (no one knew she was in labour), and Monday evening she released a video of herself on facebook, holing her baby (looking rather fab for someone who's just given birth), announcing the date, time and full name of the child. She only had close friends and family on Facebook so it wasn't really a huge share, and phone called anyone who didn't have access to FB.

Friends of mine who I've told think she's very unreasonable, precocious and self absorbed for doing this. I must admit, it did come across as very celebish but it was beautiful and different to the pictures you just usually get popping up on your feed.

What do you think? I rather like the idea

Who on earth seeing something like that would think anything other than 'cute baby, doesn't she look well'.

Poor girl, sounds like she could do with some new friends, her current ones should be ashamed of themselves.

I too don't understand what your problem is.

Most people I know who've had a baby have put a fb announcement on a few days later. Maybe they are too busy giving birth, caring for a newborn etc etc to give live updates. What should she have differently in your mind? Is it because it was a video rather than a photo?

I think it's a lovely idea. Doesn't everyone want to see mum and baby doing well? Fair play to her for getting her shit together to do it straight after the birth.
