I have to agree. I know there are people of all backgrounds here but being raised in an African household I've definitely seen grandparents and aunts be practically the primary caregivers along with parents. If her mum is happy with it, I don't see an issue. It's her first grandchild and she would have spent a lot of time with him when Grace was in a coma.
Some grandparents want as much grandbaby time as they can get.
I'm struggling to see what's weird about it, but I will accept the optics of her dumping her baby to go socialise doesn't look good. She's not using the time to recuperate (not even because she's I'll but because new parents need rest).
I do think she's hamming up the "my baby's so annoying" thing though. She acts like he's her little brother, not son.
I also had it twice, very early on in the pandemic, then pretty much a year later. A couple of months after which, the vaccine became available to me. I wondered if maybe after just having it, I did have some natural immunity. However made the decision to go ahead with the vaccine as well and was happy I did. If the booster does become available to me, I would like to get that too. Why take the risk. I didn’t become seriously ill both times I had it, but it’s still not very pleasant and is quite debilitating, I’ll take any protection I can get.ALSO, forgot to add that I, and many of my colleagues, caught covid twice. YES GRACE TWICE. And yes, the second time, I was really poorly too, and still have scarring on my lungs, fatigue and other things months afterwards. I highly doubt that her Dr told her that it was so unlikely that its not a concern or whatever she has interpreted it as, it just smacks of all the other self-serving bs she comes out with to suit her own narrative and back up her superhuman status.
For someone who has somewhat of a public presence, it always staggers me the rubbish she comes out with; does she never think that people who are more educated or knowledgeable than her never see this crap and how stupid it makes her look?!
I suppose in Grace's world, there is no one more knowledgeable than her, is there
In her Twitter likes. She doesn't seem to be anti vax.
It does seem off brand however she could be agreeing with “Normalizing 3 shots in a year is a wild precedent to set.”
As Grace is a woman who knows her body and can advocate for herself according to her. She has recently announced that healing baths will be making resurgence, I’m sure womb healing will follow!
I know she's a new age wackadoodle but then why wouldn't she just retweet the original anti vax tweet?
I know not everyone likes Grace but gossiping based on loose assumptions or the opposite of what she says/does is boring and weird.
The tweet suggests she accepts the success of the vaccine before it suggests she rejects it.
I'm not African but I spent a lot of time with my Nan as a child and then cared for her as an teenager/adult when she was unwell. But my mum left me with her when she was at work and then I started going because I wanted too.
I think it's normal too, families come in many different shapes and sizes.
I think it’s absolutely fine for grandparents to be heavily involved with caring for the grandchildren, lovely actually. Now my grandparents are gone I look back fondly at the times we spent together and sleepovers at their house etc.
I do think she’s far too selfish to be a parent though, and it’s showing. She clearly wants another baby just because she’s not content with what she has, always looking for the next thing.

Yeah I'm glad of the clarification, I wasn't sure if she'd said something and I'd missed it
If she’s not anti-vax then why the hell hasn't she used her platform to say so? She could have had a role in encouraging the woo types who follow her to get vaccinated. Instead she’s stayed so silent a lot of us thought she was anti.
You just answered your own question. She doesn’t want to lose followers
I suspect it doesn't fit her new age persona even though there's no reason why natural and man-made medicine should be in conflict.
She spent years more or less rubbishing modern and man-made medicine.
She wouldn't want to piss off people who disagree with it. I'm sure she has plenty anti vax friends too, not just followers.

If I had missed the first 4 months of my child's life, and then multiple months spent away from him in rehab - I wouldn't pass him over to others constantly. That isn't commitment in my opinion.
My son is 15 months and I wouldn't spend a night away from him because he only wants me at night and I have no interest in prioritising my wants above his needs. But we have a very close, secure attachment. Unlike grace and her Instagram prop.

I have no issue with grandparents taking an active role but what does she need the break for? She doesn’t work. She lays around in the bath and orders in food all day. Parenting is just too hard for her full time
She had a very serious illness and is still in recovery?
I have a chronic illness and wouldn’t be able to look after a child. I think she needs to be more honest about how unwell she still is.
She went out to a party when they had him
Weird recovery plan.
I don’t know what exactly happened at this party, but for my understanding a party can be way less stressful than taking care of a one year-old. Also, mental recovery is important as well. Sure she shouldn’t isolate herself.
Even without an illness, I'm of the mind that it's not normal how we operate in western society. Parents supposedly have the options of staying at home with the baby or putting the child in grand-parental/nursery care while they work.
I don't know, I'm all for the village raising mentality. We can be too individualistic in the west. Everyone out for themselves. If her mum and Charleigh are happy to do it then.. *shrug*. She's a new mum too. Then throw in her recovery from covid.
I have bigger problems with her balancing him on cushions or expecting him to intuitively raise himself like she suggested when she was pregnant.
