My friend has a 4 month old baby. I thought it was really odd that she was putting up pictures on Instagram of herself at the gym & pics of her out on her bike nearly every day as I didn't have 1 minute to myself after having a baby but thought god she looks like she's coping well. Never any pics or mention of the baby on social media.
I bumped in to her Mum yesterday and she said how friend has been dropping the baby off with her on a Friday and just turning up a few days later. No message to see how the baby is and no time arranged to pick the baby up. She then turns up most days and leaves the baby with her Mum so that she can go to the gym for hours at a time and spends most of the day biking. The Dad has also turned out to be useless and has no interest in the baby whatsoever.
I just feel so sad about the whole situation. The Dad had wanted a kid for absolutely years and now that it's here he doesn't give a fuck. Sounds like my friend doesn't give a massive fuck either as she keeps palming the baby off so she can carry on her old life. It is so selfish. I want to say something (in a helpful way or ask her if she's struggling) etc but it's an awkward one isn't it? Would you do anything to try and help or just let her realise her own mistake?
