... I suspect there are a lot of mums who'd like to take their kid to work! Get grip, typical lefty thinks she's in some way "special".

[emmie]

can imagine the baby having a crying fit - that would fit right in with the hullabaloo that goes in the House, lol

/I can’t take my well behaved, 3-month old, sleeping baby when I speak in chamber/

[anneasquith]

I would think if her baby began having ‘ a crying fit’ she would leave the chamber. ?

[emmie]

she shouldn't be there in the first place, sorry it's no place for little children.

[pat2604]

Sorry pressed answer too soon.

Well behaved baby at 3 months! What baby at that age has 'issues'?

[THECORBYLOON]

She has had the wee one with her before so I'm wondering what changed.

[middlemarch]

She was on TV recently with baby strapped on. The child howled, as babies do, and no-one could be heard. Not a success.

[emmie]

babies cry for all sorts of reasons, for food, comfort, need their mums, but not in the Chamber.

Jo Swinson did in 2018 and so did Tory Kemi Badenoch when she was education minister

The rujle was changed as recently as September.

[emmie]

then i should have added,
should not be allowed in the chamber.

[pat2604]

,/ shouldn't be there in the first place, sorry it's no place for little children./
Children would probably behave better!

[emmie]

unlikely Pat. going on the school down the road, the noise is horrendous at playtime...

[Sqad]

This topic comes up regularly....breast feeding babies in public and "look,I am a mother with baby syndrome "

Babies, crap,vomit, cry smell and not necessarily the cuddly soul that everybody needs to experience.

Your baby...your problem.

The House of Commons has a creche....stick it in there .

[naomi24]

If she wants the job she needs to organise her domestic arrangements to accommodate it - as everyone else must.

[emmie]

sqad, exactly right.

[pat2604]

I agree with Sqad. It's totally selfish to expect colleagues to accept your offspring into their midst in any working situation where you work among colleagues. I can vouch for that! We have a very generous maternity pay system now in this country. Therefore no need to becoming to work. Her attention should be on her baby or work, and not both. You can't have your cake and eat it. If you want kids, then you have to realise something has to give. If you take your career more then don't have kids, unless you can provide a suitable arrangement for their proper care. Breast milk can be expressed and given by someone else.

[pat2604]

If you value your career more!

Sorry, but this makes me very cross!!
