To feel judgmental over actor Chris Pratt playing golf 4 days after his wife gave birth?

Obviously I'm BU in the sense it's none of my business but I'm a fan of his movies and this has kind of soured how I feel about him.

If I'd just had my first baby and my husband fucked off for a day of golf (it's not a short game is it?) I'd be devastated, even with all the help she's no doubt getting from family/staff etc.

Also can you just imagine if it had been the other way round and it had been Katherine who'd left her newborn for a day at the spa? The comments on her Instagram would be brutal. Barely an eyebrow raised on his...

That's dreadful pug

Ive just had a thought? How do we know that he’s actually even in the same country as his wife and child? He may have had to go back to work - and Jurassic world 3 is currently filming and some of it is in the U.K. and I assume other places. He may be having a morning or afternoon off while they fill other scenes etc.

@blahblahblah2000

Not sure how you weren’t soured about him before this - didn’t he leave his first wife as he found God? He has very “traditional” values.
Wait a min.. he "found God"?? Ah ffs, now I need to do the buzzfeed 'which Hollywood Chris is your soulmate?' quiz again😂😂😂. We are NOT as compatible as it says it seems 😂😂😂😂

My STBXH played football the evening after I got home with our second baby after a c-section. My other child was 2. I had no help from family either side (I was living in central London) but I thought nothing much of it at the time, though I gradually realised the full extent of his selfishness as time went on. Needless to say we are no longer together. Katherine and he won’t be married in 10 years I’d say....

That's awful. To be sooo selfish.

Is this really an issue? I couldn’t care less if my dh went away and played golf, he’d have been away for a few hours not weeks.

RowboatsinDisguise · 17/08/2020 09:58

DH went for a run before coming to pick me and DS up from hospital. And continued exercising at least a couple of hours per day once we were home. It’s good for his mental health, and therefore good for our relationship.

I can guarantee she’s got loads of support and help around her. Quite often around this stage I’m telling mums to just go to bed, do loads of skin to skin, feed as much as possible, and eat loads. There isn’t a massive amount he can do unless he’s hovering around waiting to change nappies every few hours. Dads can sometimes feel a bit impotent in the early days so maybe a break and some fresh air was a good idea.

We really can’t compare a super wealthy celebrity who almost certainly has an entire household staff (housekeepers, chefs, cleaning staff) managing their home, plus nannies, to regularly people coping with a new baby in a three-bed semi with only their mum popping round to help.

The rich are very different from us.

He is just an awful human being who likes to pretend he is a saint.

Popc0rn · 17/08/2020 14:09

Well if I had a live in housekeeper, nanny, chef etc like they probably do then I wouldn't be too bothered tbh.

I doubt his wife is at home stressing out thinking about how she's going to manage everything on her own.
