do you agree? reminds me of jen last year who also had a kid, but it always seems to be woman who get criticised rather than man like stu from last year

That was my immediate thought, comparing her with Jen.

I think Stuarts daughter lived with her Mum though which means he wasn't the fulltime carer.

It's certainly an unusual thing to do. I can categorically state that I could never leave my child for that long. In fact I have only left her overnight once since she was born and I absolutely hated it.

they wanna keep their big beaks out and concentrate on the kids being abused not kids living with family for a couple of months-if indeed she lasts that long

I think this is sexist. My partner had to go away on work leaving me to take care of our 4 month old daughter for a month. And no one batted an eye. He hated every minute of it but life happens. This is a huge opertunity for Saffia and her family ... not one that I personaly would take but I do not think she should be attacked for doing so.

Well said! If she wanted time off she shouldn't have had kids.

Im sure she has made sure the kids are well looked after and she will more than be able to compensate for leaving her children for a few weeks by the money she will make from appearing on BB ... good on her, you dont get a chance like this many times in life !!!

She hasn't left them on there own with no carer, there with her mom in the week and then they go to there dad's at the weekend, she's intiled to some fun, but i wouldn't go into the BB house for 13 weeks, but you never know how long your in there.

Yes ... when you think, she could be in there for 14 weeks ... that is a hell of a long time for a 7 month old baby to be without her mum and when you consider, it's hardly what you would call necessity (being in the BB house)

The children's charity shouldn't start on Saffia who's in the big brother house her mom is looking after them she's thought about where to take them, some people who leave there kids in a house for two weeks on there own while they swan off to spain with noone to look after them they should look into that not Saffia, this country is all backwards.

Quite possibly not ... but potentially, it could be 14 weeks.

i guess it'll depend what she does after bb

if she returns home, carries on as normal then fine

jen otoh moved to london, posed naked in lad mags, etc

Excellent news that they have spotted this one. Well done! What a shame then that they allowed Karen Sharon Shannon, Baby P et al under the radar.

6/8/091:14 PM

how about the families that travel back to their original place of birth?
they leave the kids with grandparents, aunties etc..
why dont they have a poke around those situations?

I just think, when you consider why she's left them, especially the 7 month old .... it's just too long to leave them.

A jolly for 14 weeks in the BB house .... no, I think it's pretty selfish of her tbh.

much as i hate the fact saffia done what she did, and as much as i hate her

...i think this charity is alittle too far and jumping on the band wagon

If she is there till the end which I doubt it is a long time to be away from such young babies. We don't know her circumstances. As a single mum maybe she has to make some money to try and secure her's and the childrens future. As her friend said

"She is doing the programme for her children to help give them a better future. Saffia is a very genuine person and is a great mother and is devoted to her two little ones.”

what about all actors, singers & other performers that leave their children to pursue their careers?

6/8/091:30 PM

AngelMember

but big brother is hardly what you would call an up and running career is it ?

Imo, it's wrong to leave a 7 month old baby for a possible 14 weeks to go off on a jolly into the big brother house.

Indeed Mick jagger has kids all over the place and lets not even mention Bill Wyman

Given the recent publicity surrounding D-Day, it's a good job they weren't around at that time. Otherwise Churchill would have been fighting on three fronts.

saffia may have left her kids with family and well cared for, but try explaining to the baby why mummy has disappeared.

6/8/091:37 PM

DarthhoobMember

it's the complete lack of contact that bothers me too. i had a week away form my eldest when he was 1...needed it at the time as my mum had just died, but i visited him every day during that week. i was 'glad' of the break but he needed to see me for reassurance...and he wasn't the kind of baby who sought any attention unless hungry or pooey lol

Don't think too much of a mum that can leave a seventh month old baby for days,weeks, months etc.

I know of a couple who run a resturant in Greece .... When thier daughter was a little over 12 mths old, she was taken to Australia for 7 months by her grandparents whilst the couple ran thier business through the busy holiday period .... When they went to Aus to collect her, she hardly knew them and wanted nothing to do with them. They have had all kinds of problems since.

I just think 7 mths old and 14 weeks is too long to leave her.

exactly, i dont think many people are thinking about the baby here, sure a mother (and father) deserve a break...life doesn't end) but a baby needs to have someone constant in their life at that early age. all the baby will know is mummy isn't around anymore...now i know she didn't look after her baby all day every day as she worked part time but that baby would have still seen her every day

my 11 month old cries like a goodun when me or the OH walk out the door to just go to the shop..watches it till we come back lol.

she'd already of been ut of that baby's life..s to speak...for 3 weeks. so even if she were to go home right now the baby would have a hard time getting usedto her again

babies like routine and something constant

Yes her and many other celebs, the difference is when in the BB house there can be no contact with the outside world.

Exactly. As a nursery nurse i see everyday the trauma that young babies go through when the parents leave, and they are only absent for a few hours.
