Was exactly my point!i think there is a time and a place for showing off your baby, but I don’t think à friends wedding is. A bit upstagy, if you ask me. Wouldn’t put it pas Fleur though !
No offence, but have you ever had a baby? You can’t keep them inside forever, in fact going out and mixing with the world is how they develop a good immune system. I took my 3 week old to a wedding and I resent the implication that this makes me a bad mother.I don't see the issue with the mother coming, just wouldn't want a baby not old enough to have had many vaccines out in a big group of people; it bugs me as a germaphobe. If her friend was fine with it, no big deal. I know if I ever got married I wouldn't want little babies there, not really a place for them really.
Like I said, I am a germaphobe. Was not saying that makes anyone a bad mother, just that I wouldn't do it personally. And I clearly said as long as her friend was ok with it, then it isn't a big deal. Just not my personal preference. But I also said I don't think weddings are really a place for small children either. If her friend is ok with kids at a wedding more power to them.No offence, but have you ever had a baby?

Oh no!That baby looks safe!
Bit passive aggressive and crazy-making at the end there, as if the person posting must have something wrong with them to react negatively to ur flippant comment .....Like I said, I am a germaphobe.

Not sure where you got the idea I was passing judgment on YOU You do what is best for you and your family.
Just if it were me I wouldn't do it, that's all. I hope whatever you are dealing with that makes you think my casual comment was an attack on your gets better. Being a mom is hard hopefully you are taking sometime for yourself.
I blame FleurThis thread always goes south so fast
Also, if you’re nursing you can’t actually leave your baby when they’re that little.No offence, but have you ever had a baby?

I only said that bc the times where I've misconstrued comments people have made about others or them self (and was definitely not about me) but I took it that way I was having a bad day, overtired, over worked, or going through some tough stuff. Was trying to have some compassion for them. Didn't intend for it to come off passive aggressive. I deal with a lot of angry and hostile people at work I find having compassion for someone when they are upset goes a long way.Bit passive aggressive and crazy-making at the end there, as if the person posting must have something wrong with them to react negatively to ur flippant comment .....
Anyway, I think covid has made everyone a bit over the top when it comes to casting judgement on the actions of others. Obviously fleurs friend wanted and knew babies would be there, sure there is a photo of numerous infants. If a baby can upstage the bride, then the bride is doing something wrong. I don't know about ye, but I dont particularly care about other people's babies. So if I'm at a friend's wedding and a stranger has a baby there, I can guarantee i, and most others, havent given that baby a second thought, other than to think maybe "cute baby".

Bloody hell. I'd forgotten all about Joey. I wonder what happened to him?I blame Fleur
Edit: here's a blast from the past: a Vlogust video from 2012, and it's kind of fun because there's not just Fleur, but Ingrid, Tanya, Joey, all on a trip to Paris. SO weird seeing them all together and it really brings back those YouTube times
