MoD Reporter FAIL

Brummy14

They were broadcasting live from the MoD yesterday here in Cincy, and the reporter was wearing her newborn baby on air....yet, repeatedly had to clarify that her baby was 'very' healthy and born SO far past its due date. ::facepalm:: Seriously.

Sorry you had to listen to that. I know we all wish for others to have healthy full term babies, but I know for me it still hurts when people "brag" about it when I am around. Brag may be a strong word but that's how it feels sometimes.

YES. I don't wish anyone ill will but shuuuuuut uppppp.

I would write to the station and tell them how insensitive it is. It sounds like she was being careful to make sure that everyone knew her baby was not GASP "one of the preemies" which implies that there was something wrong with them.  It's like saying "there are a lot of kids who sit in front of the tv watching for hours and mine isn't one of them... not that there is anything wrong with that of course" or something like that!
