Rebel Wilson partying so soon after her daughter was born is baffling

To start, let me say, everyone mothers and parents in their own way and I’m a huge advocate of that. 

It’s the hardest job in the world and everyone has to approach it the way they feel best.

And if Rebel and her partner feel comfortable leaving their little – and by little, I mean, tiny – one, then good for her, I guess.

But when I look back when I had my first baby, Theo, I couldn’t imagine leaving him when he was around a week old. 

And not just because I’d had a c-section and was recovering from the physical aspect of giving birth.

I just… didn’t want to. 

I was in such awe of him, and those first two weeks when my husband Tom was off on paternity leave felt like such a blissful little bubble that I never wanted to burst. 

I couldn’t believe he was ours and I didn’t want to let him out of my sight for a second.

Kind of like the joy and excitement, awe and wonder that Rebel described on the Instagram post last Monday that revealed to the world that she was a mum, complete with an adorable picture of the newborn. ‘Beyond proud to announce the birth of my child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate. I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle!’ 

The caption went on to say –  ‘I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable. I am learning quickly…much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club.’

So it baffles me that last Friday, a mere five days after Rebel’s post, the pair were out partying. There are also rumours Wilson attended Leonardo DiCaprio’s 48th birthday party around the same time.

It’s confusing – especially since Rebel’s partner, Romana Agruma, said of their baby (in the days following the party): ‘You start thinking about someone else instead of yourself.

‘Priorities change, when you think like, “Oh I wish I would go have a massage or something”. Like no, I just want to spend time with her and be at home.’

Let me be straight, no-one expects mums to stay in forever once they have children and be hermits for the rest of their lives. 

But maybe for the first few weeks? Is that really too much to ask? 

So I can completely understand the backlash that she’s faced over the last few days.

‘I sure as heck wouldn’t have left my newborn to go partying the week she was born!’ one critic said.

‘She can do whatever she wants, as can any mum, but it does seem a little odd that a week after a baby that she longed for so long arrives and she’s out partying. Even if it was for an hour or so, it still seems a bit strange,’ said another.
