So both parents have left their 10-week-old baby in the UK and flown to Dubai for a child-free holiday.

I have a baby the same age and neither me nor her dad would even leave her to go into our local town at the same time this age, never mind both of us getting on a plane and flying to another continent for a holiday.

What makes it even more bizarre to me is that the baby has reportedly been suffering with reflux and has apparently been “screaming” in pain.

And this comes after Molly-Mae has spoken about her toddler having attachment issues, being terrified when separated and being scared that her parents are going to leave. Then both parents just… leave?

Obviously every parent is entitled to time away from their children, but 10 weeks old feels incredibly young for both parents to be going abroad for a holiday.

I genuinely don’t understand choosing to be 7+ hours away from your newborn when you could have waited a little longer or gone somewhere much closer.

Am I the only one who finds this really strange?
