Ashlee Simpson -- No Baby, No Problem

16. Most newborns do not sleep thru the nite. And yes, with a NEWBORN, the parents SHOULD be there when they wake up. Of course that is not necessary with an older baby or child, but definitely with a newborn. The fact is, they suck as new parents. Simple and plain.

17. It is very important to bond with your baby the first year of it's life and not hand them off to babysitters (nannies) as least as possible. It hasn't even been a month. I could see one night but two nights in a row (bad parenting).

18. Tara--you must not have any children of your own or if you do, you're not the one taking care of them either. As any new parent would no, babies don't come out of the womb sleeping through the night. That takes MONTHS to occur. No one is saying they shouldn't be allowed to leave the house, but come on--this baby is 2 weeks old and they can't WAIT to get their butts to the club so they can drink, smoke and be "merry". Sounds like escapism to me and that these 2 aren't fully committed to being proper parents. The first few months are critical bonding and attachment times. Your instinct should be to have your child with you--if they don't have that instinct, then maybe she's got post partum issues that should be dealt with. Being this eager to leave your newborn is troubling at best!

21. #17--please tell me you have no plans to procreate. The LAST thing this world needs is more self absorbed parents who don't know how to take care of their kids.

22. Ooops...that comment was supposed to be directed at #19's response.

23. I'm the mother of two and I think people are making a big deal out of nothing. She went out to support her husband after being in the house with a newborn for over 2 weeks. How do you know what she was feeling?? How do you know she wasn't calling every 5 minutes to make sure everything was okay? Leave the poor girl alone she's doing nothing wrong.

25. From my first child to my fourth, no one could have pried me away.. I wonder what is wrong with Ashley?? Maybe she has post partum depression and that is why she doesn't mind being away from her baby. I feel sorry for the poor kid to have such a horrid name.. He better learn to fight, cause he is going to be TEASED A LOT WITH SUCH A STUPID NAME....

26. Clubbing is part of Petes job people. There is absolutley nothing wrong with this couple being out & who the hell said Ashlee was drinking? Were you there? NO I dind't think so. Most of you don't have a flippin clue about life. Ashlee went out for a few hours with her husband. Grandparents on either side could have been having there quality time & bonding & the parents got a breather. Its life. Deal with it.

27. As for #17, with each of my children, I fed them each time they cried as newborns (about every 3 hours or so). Each slept thru the night beginning at one month old. Fun fact; hope there are those here that can use it..

28. I said this yesterday and I'll say it again. I had my baby 2 days before Ashlee. I have not let her once. I can't imagine leaving her at this age. I am so attached to her I can't even stand the thought of going back to work, much less going out to party. Newborns need their moms plain and simple. That is why we take maternity leave for a month or 2.

29. Lol at people taking up for her. the same girl that can't sing and blamed her band for being stupid and lipsynching and getting caught on SNL and saying "MY band played the wrong song". The girl is a dumb*** and nothing about her would surprise me. She is jessica's sister and Joe's daughter. She can't sing, was booed at the orange bowl, and gee I think her singing career is gone now isn't it? After that SNL thing no one cared for her . It's one thing to lip synch it's another to be a complete fake like her and then not own up to it and blame the poor band. Anyway, you can take up for her if you want, but most of America doesn't forget it and she's probably just as irresponsible with her child. Screw you Ashlee you ugly Biotch!

30. I agree 100% w/ you Nancy. I just can't imagine being in the state of mind where I would want to leave my tiny newborn to go to a bar, club or whatever. It comes down to priorities--some people have this ME GENERATION mantra that somehow they are #1 and everyone else should come 2nd. But they neglect to understand basic child development theory. Attachment! Yes Grandma and Grandpa are great to have around to HELP. Notice, I mentioned HELP not be in charge of for a few hours. Ashley is so very new to motherhood, I simply want to encourage her to be healthy about her parenting. There will come a time for having a social life once again--I promise, but that time is NOT when they are 2 weeks old. It's just too soon for both mom and baby.
