ali is a dear friend of mine and this interview was completely taken out of context. she is only going out of town for one week and estela is going to stay with her grandmother. ali’s mother has been begging ali to let estela spend time with them in louisiana . estela does not get to see her grandparents very often because ali’s mother cares full time for her 80 year old mother and her 90 year old uncle in louisiana. ali’s entire family is in louisiana and although i believe ali visits there several times a year, they still cant’t get enough of there grandbaby. ali’s mother and her family there are so looking forward to estela spending time with them. i know ali is an amazing mother…her daughter is her life . i am shocked and saddened that you guys are so quick to judge someone you dont even know anything about.

TV – My cousin did the same thing! Her and her husband have 4 boys (ranging from 2-9.) The 2 year old is still in diapers. But when her older 3 were potty trained, it was her mom/my aunt that did it. My cousin and her husband went away for the weekend, 2-3 days tops, and when they came back, my aunt had the kid potty trained. (Of course there were accidents here and there, but the hardest part was done.) The 3rd had some issues for a while afterward, but the oldest 2 didn’t have any problem after the weekend. (To her credit, my aunt did raise 5 kids, and has worked with MANY children in a day care setting for at least 15 years. So she’s helped potty train numerous other children!)

I don’t think that they’ll be gone for the whole summer. I would think it’s more like a month, tops, but probably 2 weeks. That’s what I mean if I tell someone that I’m going somewhere for the summer.

Doesn’t she get alot of breaks if she has a live in nanny?? Personally, my take on it is that she likes to dress this little girl up and have her picture taken. I said it before and I’ll say it again, the kid is not even 2 yet!! Why so many breaks??

I applaud Ali for admitting that she needs a break sometimes and being intelligent enough to know that this does not mean that she is abandoning her child. I’m pretty sure Estela is smart enough to understand this too. I hope Ali is never guilted into dragging this child everywhere she goes and never having a real vacation with her hubby.

Hmmmm I’m a little conflicted on this one. (1) I hope her husband is ok with the fact that he won’t be able to spend Father’s Day with his baby. Estela is the reason why he gets to celebrate that day anyways. I think I would be upset if my husband took me away from my child on Mother’s Day. (2) I realize that Mom and Dad need time away but I hope it’s not for the whole summer. Spending an entire summer with grandparents is great- for school age kids. Wouldn’t a two year-old kinda forget her parents for anything longer than a month? At the very least she would have a harder time adjusting back to life with Mom and Dad. I don’t think I could be away from my kid for that long anyways.

Oh well, not my family

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with weekends away throughout the year with just your husband, I agree that too often mother’s get so involved in just their children that their marriage/romance is just thrown by the wayside…and why do your young kids need to go to Mexico with you anyways? Family trips are great, but I don’t think something like Mexico is neccessary, we like to goto camping and things like that, that are more adventuresome and not just for relaxing (which is So nice to do too!)
It does sound like she is going to Italy for the entire summer, and I don’t think I could leave my babies for that long, but to each their own I suppose. Just seems like a bit of a long time for such a little girl to be away from her parents, but I loved spending time at my grandma/grandpa’s when I was young.
But kudos to her for starting the potty training now, I’m tired of seeing all these Big kids running around in diapers!
And yeah just out of curiousity, what is she working on these days? Anyone know? What does her husband do?

Sorry if I come off as bitter and angry……….I’m neither one, thank you. All I am is a very happy very involved stay at home mom/student who makes my husband and my kids my priority. We’re planning quite a few family getaways this summer!!

momof3 you are coming off as very bitter and angry. I agree with her on both counts. I miss being able to go to the beach and read my book, which I find very relaxing. Luckily now my girls are 3 and 5 and like to play together alongside my chair most of the day at the beach and I can read again. My husband and I also go away for the weekend 3-4 times a year, usually for our birthdays and wedding anniversary and our parents watch the kids. It is SO important to keep your marriage a priority as well and many women tend to forget that.
