Margot Robbie - had a baby last year

[Chattycatt]

No shade just genuine curiosity

She had a baby in 2024 and given her schedule with the film etc how does it work does a nanny literally look after the child full time? Do you think she misses him?

As a full time mum to my toddler with no help at all I’m just so curious about these women who continue life as if they haven’t had a child and look amazing quite soon afterwards too. Are they wired differently?

No they never question Father’s, I know this as I was the woman at a meeting 4 weeks after giving birth, back full time 8 weeks after. I ran my own business literally had no choice and yet I got judged so badly. My DH was at home with our DS the whole time, no nanny etc but my god did I get crap for this and guess what he was a hero!

@Chattycatt your "circle" dont have great fathers or husband that they can leave their children with, how do any of you find that attractive !

How depressing. Are you in the UK? It sounds like we may have gone back a generation or two. I can only hope that your experiences aren't typical.

I once went out for some leaving drinks (I was still on mat leave, but was very good friends with the person leaving). I was out for no more than 3hrs and was asked if I missed my baby, and told how they could have never left their baby at that age!!

My husband has never been asked if he misses his child when at work.

Are the circles you move in the 1950s? My kids are teens now but when they were babies there were 2 stay at home dads (or as you would say full time dads) in our parents group.

In the USA it’s normal to be back in work really quickly, 3 months is common, less if you can’t afford to stay off. It’s much easier if you have money because you can afford a nanny. Most acting couples will alternate who is working if they can and travel with the other one plus a nanny

She’ll have a raft of help, people to cook, care for the baby and be around her so she can be visible and have as much time as she can with the baby. Sounds amazing you’ve got the money and that life - I’m jealous lol albeit my kids are teenagers … that would be more difficult!

Jesus christ what circles do you move in @Chattycatt ? The dads I know are very hands-on. Where I work, paid parental leave is exactly the same for men as for women and not one single new dad hasn’t taken their full allowance (as that would be leaving money on the table and they’re not stupid).

They have to do nothing and it’s not just having a chef and cleaner, there is no renewing insurance, picking clothes, cleaning, picking gifts, arranging anything. My SIL was a PA to a person who is a billionaire. She was also PA to another employer but she had to sign a non disclosure so we have no idea who it was. She speaks multiple languages and travelled around doing just everything and and she had further staff that she directed to do XY and Z that were below her.

Designers do stuff like send thousands of pounds of clothes to them to try on at home. It’s a different world.

I think for 15 million I could probably bear to leave my baby to go back to work at 3 months old.

She's not filming 24hrs a day. She will have had a nanny to look after the baby when filming and its her and her husbands own production company making the film so she hardly would have had a grueling work schedule that meant neglecting the child.

Also who has a baby with someone they don't trust to look after their own child?

I can't speak for all actor's but I do know Margot Robbie's husband produces a lot of her films including Wuthering Heights so they literally work together. I think the baby probably got lots of lovely family time, more than the average baby of a SAHM and one parent off to work. Best to do some research before judging other women huh?

No shade?

“Do you think she misses him… these women who continue life as if they haven’t had a child…are they wired differently”

Of course you’re throwing shade. It’s a thinly veiled dig about women who want a career after having a baby.

I would imagine the nanny has the baby on set so they can spend time together as much as possible

Lots of women have careers.

Do you ask the same question about male actors?

baby also has a dad.

My eldest dd is 33 and if her dad took no part in her upbringing he would have been shown the door.

I very much doubt she holds male actors to the same standards

You don’t know any mums where the fathers share the care of the child? Where do you come from and what’s your culture. I’ve never heard of such a thing. I don’t know any women where the father didn’t.

and just as you know one woman who didn’t miss her baby, you can’t for the life of you think this is applicable to all working women

and why on earth would you think someone as wealthy as Margo Robbie wouldn’t have the best child care on hand there is. The woman earned 15 million for 10 weeks work. She hardly was down the coal mines for a decade.

How can you have no concept of a life different to yours?

The fact you would question this, but not questioning that none of the families you know have a hands on father…is really rather strange?! Maybe it’s you that’s wired differently?

“No shade … do you think she misses him?” Top tip OP : don’t ask this question to your mum mates who have gone back to work - they won’t really appreciate it.

I thought you were a creative director on £52k a year? 🤔

I imagine she pays for a lot of help

That’s certainly what she said just a few weeks ago. yet, here she’s a sahm.

I’m still looking for any of the posts about all the male actors that had a baby last year then returned to filming. How are they all coping?

And they probably actually get a lot more time together than many presents. I went back to work when Dd was 6 months. 9-5 but a 3hr round commute meant I was getting her ready in the morning and putting her straight to bed when I got in. Not ideal at all but it’s what I had to do.

when Margot does have breaks during the day and also when she’s in hair & make up etc I’m sure they’ll be together. Plus it’s not like she’ll be rushing around when she finishes to cook dinner, iron clothes, nip to Sainsburys so their time will be quality time
