A mother has come under fire after revealing she left her infant baby along with her husband for two days to go party with her friends.
Ashy Bines is a fitness influencer and a proud mother of 6-year-old Taj and 4-month-old Tala who spoke out about her life as a mom and admitted she still wants to do fun things that are just for her despite being a parent.
Taking to Instagram to defend her decision to leave her kids with her husband, Steven Evans, to go party with her friends and have a ‘weekend off’, the Aussie mom said her husband “nailed” solo dad life while she was out partying with her friends.
“Moments before I balled my eyes out at the airport leaving my baby nearly 48 hours,” she wrote as she shared a series of photos of her baby daughter.
“I’ve got this! Feels like an arm is missing but dad is sending me loads of videos and nailing solo dad life lol! So lucky to have my family,” she added.
“I know judgment has come flying my way leaving her for 48 hours BUT hear me out. I LOVE my baby but also LOVE my friends. I LOVE my baby but also love travel and variety. I LOVE my baby but also love doing fun things just for me.”
The mother went on to insist that she loves her baby and that she fully trusts her husband to take care of her while she’s gone.
The news of her parenting methods, however, wasn’t taken well by everyone, whereas some people allegedly messaged her in private to confront her about leaving her baby alone with her husband at such a young age.
“I think it’s wrong for other women to think it’s wrong, send such a message and also why would I have children with someone I don’t trust?” Ashy said in her defense.
“Wrong to leave my kids with their dad? If a dad went away for 48 hours he’s never even questioned?”
She also shared a message for her critics as she urged other moms to be kind to each other and know that “it’s okay for you to have a life and enjoy other parts of your life, not just mum life, OR just need a break.”
