She spent nearly 2 hours in theatre less than 24 hours before coming home for a 2nd degree tear. She must have been very sore, despite putting on a brave face saying she felt fine. The absolute last thing she needed was to return to that noise and chaos.I think people are greatly over exaggerating what's actually in the vlog. Millie looked like a typical person giving birth, she only had gas and air, she looked very tired but mentioned that she hadn't slept well for a couple of days, and then when she got home mentioned how normal she was feeling. I agree with you on the madhouse, though. Most of them seem used to it and Millie was super involved in taking pictures of all the kids holding Ophelia.
I really feel for Millie as she's seen her mother 'bounce back' so many times and must automatically feel the pressure to present herself in the same way (Millie, your mum is simply lucky, not superwoman, so please don't compare).
She had no say whatsoever in how Ophelia was introduced to the family. It was past 9pm. The fact they simply had to keep every single child up to scream and jump all over them, just because there was a film crew there to film it, was sick and indulgent to say the least. Millie deserved to peacefully return to calm and order, quickly introduce Ophelia to the older ones still up and retreat to bed. When she was ready, in the morning, the little ones could have been taken down in small groups for a quick peek. It's their niece, not even their sibling. They have no automatic right to instant cuddles. It was simply all for show for the camera and Millie didn't deserve that. Despite what she and the family said, I don't think she looked well at all bless her. That circus really was the last thing she needed.
To be fair, none of us know how the father found out. I totally agree with you IF they chose not to contact him, but we don't know for sure they didn't. They just didn't mention him on the vlog (to be fair, why would they? It would ruin their all is rosy image).I think regardless of her conception and the way her father might have acted the last 9 months I'd the Radfords want to have the moral high ground Millie would have contacted the father to advise him of the birth.
It takes two to tango and now she's here he might decide that he should do the right thing and be involved in his daughters life.
