Mozhe IS NOT going back to work next week after all......

[mozhe]

.....no, have decided to delay it by a week or so......Mr Mozhe is on 'incubator watching' duties....P-in-L's are manning the home front,( and DSsX3...), with nice new aupair....and Mozhe,Nanny and DTs are off to St Barts,( in lovely Carribean...),for a week's sun/swim/chill out !!
Any one been before ? Any pointers ? Off first thing tomorrow......

I have a number of friends who make a habit of disappearing off on luxury holidays without their newborns and other small children (the French in particular seem to specialise in this). It utterly baffles me as I simpaly can't understand why pople don't accept that life has different stages.

DH and I have done St Barts many times in the past (it's fab) and I'm sure that once our children have grown up, we'll do so again. But right now, we have small children who need us and rely on us and therefore at the moment,our precious holiday time has to be spent with them, It's only a decade or so out of a lifetime for goodness sake.

I think Mumsnet is great for getting a taste of what people out there REALLY think of your choices.

ALERT

Mohze is only taking the twins!! The boys are staying with the inlaws

Who are we to judge if Mozhe needs a holiday?

She's not abandoning her baby, she's leaving him the expert hands of doctors and midwives and her dh.

This thread is really disturbing. Shows how women love to judge each other for not living up to some stereotype of the perfect mother. Some of the posts are so unkind they border on cruelty.

And, tbh, it's distasteful to imply Mozhe is abandoning her baby. SCBUs do often have to take care of babies who really have been abandoned, or taken away by ss.

If you want to get your knickers in a twist, why not do something constructive, like donate money to Bliss?

if she were real - which I doubt very much - she would be a bloody hard woman.

Oh my god!! Are you seriously going to leave your new baby in SCBU while you go to the Caribbean?? Is this a wind up or something? They are only tiny for a very very short time and you will be missing out on that special time with your little one. I couldnt even consider leaving any of mine at such a young age - and they weren't in SCBU!! Sorry if I have missed something in the post/thread - not read all.

edam i think its hte way its posted
not" ihaev had a shit time feel really drained need to focus on the toher kids"
its " whoo howo look at me arent i clever" that irks

YES!
i agree with Cod

Would it actually be worth the jetlag to go to Caribean for a week with 2 14-month old toddlers? I imagine it takes at least 4 days for toddlers to get onto local time, each way. That 4 days would just be so grim, when you're an adult struggling to get over jetlag, too.

Of course, we know Mozhe probably sleeps well en route, flying 1st class with her little cherubs, much to the delight of her fellow passengers no doubt.

If the OP said "I am drained, depressed, feel like I need to get away from it all, too much to deal with, can't cope" etc, etc, etc she may have had a little bit more sympathy. As it is, it sounds like she has been given a work jolly.

sorry, x post. .

Mozhe I am very sorry to have read some of the unsupportive comments on this thread. I personally have no idea how (even with nanny plus aupair) you cope with six children and a demanding career. You are fab and you should enjoy your break. Love to little mozhe.

Oh, I get it, it's because Mozhe isn't humble enough, I see...

Why DO so many people expect her to make abject apologies for making a decision about her own family's welfare?

Has anyone actually answered the OP?

"Any one been before ? Any pointers ? Off first thing tomorrow...... "

she didn't ask for a heated debate!

She's probably packing... lol

quattor plummets in cods esteem

edam
oyu are wasting your breath.

The fact that it is the worst time of the year to be in the Carribbean and the best to be somewhere like Ile de Re in France makes it all the more bizarre.

choclatedot - you are on the verge of answering her - maybe you should suggesat clothes to take

Can I just ask a very simple question.

Is this a "fraud" or is it, and the OP for real?

compo, sadly I have a feeling that she knew that a heated debate would be had.

"I personally have no idea how (even with nanny plus aupair) you cope with six children and a demanding career"

lol

she ignores them

thast how she copes
