What is it about babies wanting their moms that Mr. Twinkle's family objects to?
Remember the bastard baby whose arrival was announced last summer? Well, she was born, 7 weeks early--she's fine but needs a little bit of time in the NICU to get bigger. So the cousin, Kelly, goes there every morning to hang out with her all day (ask me about this baby's name, the tackiest name ever...I'm afraid if anyone Googled it they would be brought directly to this blog, and that would be bad). Mr. Twinkle's grandmother was talking tonight about how Kelly hates to leave her each night because she starts to cry because she wants Kelly. Grandma-in-Law said, "Of course, the baby doesn't really want her...she just wants to be held. The baby doesn't even know her, but of course I didn't tell her that. But Kelly thinks the baby wants her, when really the baby is too little to know her."
The baby was born about 2 weeks ago. I'd venture a guess that she knows the smell and feel of her mother by now, and I think it's perfectly natural and normal for a mother and child to want to be together.
It used to make me so mad when they'd say that about my babies--that they were too little to know or want me. Who are they to speak the babies of the world? Why is it so unbelievable that Kelly's baby would want her? Why does everyone in this family want to diminish the natural bond between mothers and babies?
It's bizarre.
Also, the babymama just got engaged to the babydaddy. My fingers are crossed for a June wedding, with their bastard baby as the miniature flower girl.
