She’s like 31 so not that young, but I agree it sad how much work all the MIC women have had done in the last 5 years!

It’s alarming how much they seem to detest being parents. At least they moved nearer James’ parents so Beau will have a support system, can you imagine if they didn’t?!
When Maeva said she didn’t want to breastfeed, I actually admired her honesty as there’s so much pressure to do so. I didn’t breastfeed and was glad someone in the ‘public eye’ was saying they weren’t going to. HOWEVER, I fully believe the only reason she didn’t want to breastfeed is so she could leave him whenever she wanted to. It’s as though she wanted a doll to pose with on Instagram with none of the hard work that comes with it.

I think she's just from a world where they have VERY different ideas about parenting. Very stuck in the past where you hire a milk maid to breastfeed, the kids are with a nanny all the time and you just see them when you feel like it. The baby slots into your life not the other way round.
Most people now understand that babies and children grow up healthy when they are bonded to their parents. But some wealthy people don't want to recognise that and still outsource parenting. Look how many boarding schools there still are. I couldn't imagine shipping my 6 year old off to live at school, but it's completely normal for lots of people.

isn’t it a big no no to put such young babies in front of screens? I think all the official advice is they shouldn’t be until 1-2 years- now I’m sure that isn’t realistic for a lot of busy working parents but he’s only a few months old. I’m sure I’ve heard it’s waaay too overstimulating for them and can stunt development (not a parent so don’t know for sure and happy to be corrected)
but she seems to just want to either palm him off to grandparents or be able to just get on with doing other things while he is distracted so put him in front of a screen.

I think that's more to do with tablets and phones rather than tv. Most parents will plonk the baby infront of the telly with night garden or a baby video on YouTube.
You can't be doing stuff with the baby all the time. You'd go mad and everyone needs time to get on with dressing, washing, cooking, cleaning etc.
Most babies don't like being put down so a TV is sometimes needed just so you can go to the toilet. Or like my daughter, you end up doing everything with her in a sling.

I think it’s ok occasionally but she’s done two stories recently and I suspect she is trying to provoke a reaction. I wouldn’t be doing it daily at that age though and when looking at the bigger picture of Maeva’s attitude and behaviour towards parenting it’s not surprising she would also try and palm the baby off in front of the tv rather than hold him or engage with him.
I don’t judge the tv viewing as my 3 month old has some screen time every day. He’s at the age where he can only be entertained by an activity for 5 mins or so at a time but will happily sit in his chair and watch a sensory video on YouTube or the football (think it’s the bright green that attracts him to it) for 15/20 mins. I’d never have chance to get anything done otherwise!
Since we're in a nice mood, I will also give Maeva credit for taking Beau to a physio for his torticollis. If she can get private treatments so should he.
He's also got a chance to grow up bilingual too. It would be nice for James to pick up some French too but doesn't look like he cares.

Wow. What a vile individual. I do understand the frustrations of some mothers who were really active and want to increase their exercise again. But you don't stop being 'pretty' when you have a baby. Unfortunately Maeva, no amount of exercise will change how ugly you clearly are inside.
She can’t get him down that aisle quick enough. They deserve each other-she’s vile and he’s an overgrown child.

I'm surprised Jem'z mother didnt take him!
I don’t understand it, just swanning off to a hotel like that. I think she might have postnatal depression, I have heard that it is a sign just leaving the baby behind a lot. We only ever went away one night occasionally on special occasions like a birthday when little (but not that little!) I think the first time I went away for the night I couldn’t wait to get back in the morning &see their face (actually every time pretty much!).
