An Australian couple provoked a minor uproar after disclosing that they drop their 2-year-old daughter Violet at her grandparents for the weekend—every weekend.
Model and TV host Rachael Finch divulged that her and her husband Michael Miziner have the weekends to themselves, according to the Herald Sun.
“Every weekend [Violet] goes to [Michael’s] mum’s house, and we get our weekend to ourselves,” Finch said. “I think that’s incredibly healthy for a relationship. And on Sunday, when we pick her up, we have 100 percent energy back.”
The disclosure drew some angry reactions on social media, and many called the couple selfish.
“Every single weekend at just 2 years old? Yes. It’s simple. if you didn’t really want a kid, you shouldn’t have had one,” wrote one Facebook commenter.
“This is exactly what’s wrong with today’s parents and children. When you get married and have kids weekends are no longer about you,” wrote another.
But many were supportive of Finch, and considered it absurd that other people cared about how she raised her child.
Finch said in a recent interview with Sunday Style that she intends to be there for Violet like her mother was there for her.
“I have always thought that as long as she [Violet] is nurtured and loved, that will give her the confidence for anything,”
