to go to Glastonbury?

[greentreesgreengrass]

DP and I got Glasto tickets for 2020, now of course moved to finally be this week! hooray!

We have a 12 week old DS who we'll be leaving with my parents. We're away tomorrow to Tuesday as having a couple of days away to recover from the festival after!

People have seemed a little judgy about this. do you think it's fine? we will of course be going anyway but interested to know what people think.

Well they are both going so yes.

Are you a first time, teenage parent? If not, I can’t understand why you would want to.
I bet the reality of being away from your newborn will hit you in less than 24 hours

God the competitive martyrdom on this thread 🙄 not to mention the drama!

I would absolutely go to Glastonbury OP, I would probably go home straight after though rather than having an extra couple of days as a week is quite a long time. So maybe a bit of compromising? But there’s nothing wrong with a few days away if your baby is being left with responsible, loving and caring family members. They’re not going to be emotionally scarred for it for the rest of their lives 🙄

I’m going and my due date is next week! In which case I’ll end up with a new born there. We are so lucky to be able to give our kids these experiences. We should make a Glastonbury baby group and we can all meet up for a dance and a jaeger bomb

I seriously hope this is a joke, no one could be this naive surely ?

@Sparklingbrook

Really?

I wouldn't have done it but don't judge you for doing it at all.
However, I can't read on without saying two things:

1. Your baby isn't laid back because you are.
2. Wait until you have another one.

Tbf, a hairdryer was definitely my top priority when stuck in a field with 16 week old twins. Live your best life, hun.

Please don’t mum shame she didn’t ask for your opinion. I’m sure she will have a great time. As she said, it’s before her due date.

We are so lucky to be able to give our kids these experiences.

Well if you discount being born in a muddy field, with poor sanitation, no easy access to medical care, shit phone signal and surrounded by stoners, I'd suggest that the experience of being subjected to Paul McCartney as your first introduction to live music would probably scar the poor kid for life tbh!

OP is deliberately posting for controversy 🙄😴

children love music. We’re all big Paul McCartney fans and I’m sure dds will follow suit x

The mum shaming on this thread is absolutely unbelievable. Some of the worst I’ve seen all of you need a good drink.

@CandyLeBonBon weve had his music on for the past two weeks they love live and let die

lucky that DS is a very chilled baby (maybe because we're very chilled parents!)

You do you. But if you believe being chilled parents gets a chilled baby, you are just lucky.

we don’t know how many years he has left I don’t want my babies to miss out on this

Well that's it. You've ruined them for life now! You mark my words they'll be turning to a life of crime before they hit nursery!!

@Lonelygal22 this is EXACTLY what OP is inciting with the post, though. It’s deliberate

Too right!! Got to fit it in while there’s still the chance. They’ll thank you when they’re older.

Not mum shaming @Lonelygal22 - it's called being tongue in cheek.

So that excuses the snarky comments then?

It is a deliberately divisive post about leaving a newborn to party for a week… there will be snarky comments

Is nobody still scarred from Macca at the Olympics 2012 'hey Judey Judey Judey' ad infinitum. <cringe>

It saddens me that you see this behaviour as acceptable.

There’s people here saying don’t leave the baby then in their next post they’re saying don’t take the baby. The op can’t win

I know I am. I'm just glad he didn't sing at the Jubilee. It might have finished me off!
