Nine days ago Chrissy Teigen and John Legend became new parents. Their daughter, Luna Simone Stephens was introduced to the world on Instagram.
She was dark haired and gorgeous, a tiny, wonderful piece of news in amongst the doom and gloom we face in the world.
In the days since she’s been born we’ve been treated to images of her doting mother with her – and treated to snippets about her life shared by her loving dad.
It’s a privilege to be allowed a glimpse into the life of this open, friendly couple.
They are judging Chrissie Teigen out of human nature – brutal, nasty human nature sure – but human nature – jealousy, curiosity, fears that we did something wrong, that maybe if we’d tried harder when we first had our babies we could have been going out to fancy restaurants in strappy heels instead of weeping into the pillow and resisting the urge to bite our husband’s head off when he asked what we wanted for dinner.
We judge other women because we are conflicted about ourselves. We judge them because we want our way to have been the okay way to do things.
I don’t condone the judgment of Chrissy Teigen but I can sure see where it stems from.

Let's get down to brass tacks here and ask the real questions.
So which restaurant was it and how the the entree? Was it a dark, smokey paprika packed dish with a sensual tinge or a lime infused seafood compote that danced on the tongue' with a decadent hint of Sicily in spring?
oh God! I MKR has ruined me!
Seriously though, I'm sure the kid was perfectly ok and no-one was injured in the making or eating of the meal.
Yeah, 'cos they left baby Luna home alone, all by herself. It is absolutely nobody's business what Chrissy AND John (remember him? He's her husband and father of baby Luna) decide on how they nurture their relationship. Why is it these days that parents, especially mothers, are expected to completely abandon all aspects of their lives, and focus solely on raising the children when they come along? They are just as entitled to have a life.
