^who would walk on uneven ground holding a two month
old^

It's part of living and working in the country, Annie. Our children were brought up around horse shows, country fairs, agricultural shows etc. Meghan might be a townee but hopefully her little boy will be able to enjoy some outdoor activities.

She was out of her comfort zone, maybe but haven't we all been now and again?

Don't women carrying babies walk on uneven ground ? What about school sports days, the park, a picnic... no I'm sorry - I disagree.

I think she looks like a million other new mums who aren't having to suffer the scrutiny of what is she wearing, what is she doing and now- plumbing the depths.... how is she holding her baby ??

Sit down and get up off grass clutching a two month old?

grin grin

It's called a picnic. Anyway it should be a piece of cake for a yoga expert! grin

I would have thought it was the ideal opportunity to put Archie in a baby sling, and they seem to be the trend in LA. Even the dads, such as Daniel Craig, have been photographed wearing one (with baby in, of course smile ).

A sling wouldn't have spoilt the look of her outfit.

Why if one doesn’t oooze praise is it classed bashing?

Who would walk on uneven ground holding a two month
old, ? She looked so uncomfortable, she was clutching the baby not cradling him.

Bridgeit Fri 12-Jul-19 08:34:31

I have just read the title of this thread again, ?
That didn’t work then did it.
And quite frankly Annibach, your last comment is pathetic.
Surely we can be better than this ?

Shropshirelass Fri 12-Jul-19 08:20:52

Must admit that I am not really interested! She should be allowed to get on with it without the paps around all the time, but that won't happen due to who she married. I am still not sure about her or her motives, call me cynical!

Should have stayed in the car.

shock shock

How do you know there was nowhere to sit down and people are quite capable of walking on slightly uneven ground.

Anniebach Fri 12-Jul-19 08:09:41

What a silly place to take a 2 month baby , she is walking on uneven ground, couldn’t sit down . Should have stayed in the car.

Lovely supportive comments for Meghan on Facebook, with many Mums recalling how they had also held their babies in much the same way , as I suspect we all have at sometime.
A photograph can catch but a moment in time, so I suppose if someone hangs around with a camera for long enough they will get what ever it is that they are looking for.

No, she hasn't come up in my browsing of Twitter either.

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 18:51:59

She's easily avoided. Don't think I've come across her. I have come across things said about her though.

There are some nice people on Twitter.

Callistemon Thu 11-Jul-19 18:40:39

Thanks goodness I'm not on Twatter, sorry Twitter if the likes of Katie H are on there.

Day6 Thu 11-Jul-19 18:28:10

Yes, eazybee.

I had a wry smile too at the explanation. Wondered the same myself.

Scouring the internet for vile ammunition to use against other posters maybe? hmm

eazybee Thu 11-Jul-19 18:03:22

I do wonder at all these people who just happened to be looking at such and such a tweet, and then this one, really vile, popped up.
Why do you look them in the first place, and why carry on reading them?

TerriBull Thu 11-Jul-19 17:50:22

All I can say is when I was a new first time mother I would have hated some of my ineptitude to be caught on camera for the world to see. Not enough practice with dolls, most of mine were paper dolls anyway so now transferable skills grin

Callistemon Thu 11-Jul-19 17:20:44

He is quite bonny!
However small they are, they can make your arms ache if you're standing and holding them.

Katie Hopkins is poisonous - it's frightening that some people actually like what she says about anything.

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:13:43

He is quite a big chap isn't he Archie? I previously couldn't care less but the nastiness towards Megan is a bit grim.

merlotgran Thu 11-Jul-19 17:13:06

Katie Hopkins is just horrible.

I showed the picture to DH saying I felt sorry for Meghan and he replied, 'You have to remember she's an actress!'

Blimey, that's quite profound for him. grin

Lessismore Thu 11-Jul-19 17:12:07

Hopkins is something I would scrape off the bottom of my shoe.

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:23:47

Oh God Annie. I felt like that about my first grandson. Terrified I'd drop him, or he'd stop breathing against my shoulder.

He seemed so little.

Gonegirl Thu 11-Jul-19 16:22:25

I only do funny.

Anniebach Thu 11-Jul-19 16:21:49

My younger daughter can’t have children, has many Godchildren, when holding the baby at the font or at a family gathering and someone plonks a baby in her arms her left leg trembles so much , so amusing, she is terrified of
small babies
