Mum defends her decision to leave her daughter in her grandmother's at the weekends
With the ever increasing daily tasks of the modern mum, it is almost impossible to get everything ticked off the to-do list, let alone have a date night.
Every couple on this planet have their own way of doing things, of keeping in check with one another, but when that information becomes public knowledge, it can bring attention.
And that is exactly what happened when mum-of-two, Rachael Finch, revealed that before she had her second child, she would usually leave her daughter with her mother-in-law on the weekends.
According to The Advertiser, Finch revealed her two-year-old daughter is dropped off on a Friday evening and picked up early on a Sunday morning.
With the time spent alone between Rachael and her husband Michael used to recharge the batteries, and reconnect with one another.
Nonetheless, the internet had something to say about what they labelled 'part-time parents' and the now mum-of-two has had to come out fighting, replying to the world via her Instagram account.
Rachael states: "A mother should never be made to feel they are not good enough for their child when they are doing everything they can to keep them safe, happy and loved."
"Only the parents of a child truly know what is best and should always have faith in their decisions."
While it sounds amazing that the couple have 52 child-free weekends every year, in the grand scheme of things it's essentially 24 hours in a week, which is bonding time for the tot and her grandma.
So, is it not just pot luck that their parents live close by and can help out with parenting duties? Would it be a big deal if Violet's grandmother was taking care of her while her parent's were at work?
"I value dearly the relationship Violet has with her grandmother and I believe this is one of the most important and influential relationships growing up."
"I work hard so that I can provide the best future for the amazing soul we have created. I won't ever stop believing in her or the strength of the family unit," added the mum-of-two.
While we were initially filled with jealousy and a slight pang of shock, we're kind of thinking that the statement is slightly blown out of proportion now.
What do you think – is it essentially just 24 hours out of an entire week and a well deserved break, or is it too much?
