Hardly. Gossip is personal, between people who know the party being discussed. Even if it's a poster being talked about on C-D, it doesn't fall to the level of gossip, because most people here are anonymous.
If anything, C-D is a hotbed of rumors, but the false ones are quickly called out.
All I see is a great opportunity to know and bond with grandparents who won't be around their whole lives. There sure isn't anything here to criticize the parents about.
When are the parents bonding with their own daughter, is my question.
I found it said that the mom works sporadically (including weekends) and that the dad only works afternoons teaching dance lessons and is home with his daughter in the mornings and evenings.

Link please? That would make the situation somewhat moot IMO, but it seems as though that info would have come out in the original story.
This child's grandparents do not live with them, so that is moot. My mother-in-law lives with us and I agree it's helpful. She does the gardening and light housework and is there if we need a sitter or someone to drive a kid somewhere. The people in the article desire childfree weekends where they can sleep in till 10 and not be parents for two days.
What are these "many cultures around the world" where it's normal for children to live with their grandparents in separate houses all weekend? Not in the same house or in another cottage on the property, because that's not the case here.
Right!^^
I was beginning to wonder if someone was going to point out the GLARING difference between inter-generational living arrangements, and living a "child-free lifestyle" every single weekend...
Every weekend is a lot and someday when this little girl is all grown up I suspect that these parents are going to regret all the time they missed with their child.
I have a toddler and I don't have any grandparents knocking down my door to watch my child but even if I did I wouldn't let her go every single weekend. One weekend a month would be absolutely divine or maybe even every other Saturday but I would miss her too much to have her gone every weekend.
Anyway, in the almost two years since my daughter has been alive she's only spent the night away from us three times and we've only been out alone maybe seven times total. This year we've only been out alone twice which isn't nearly enough. I don't know if these parents are lucky or selfish or maybe a little bit of both.
EVERY weekend? Good grief. I have no idea how much time two working "celebrities" can spend with their kid during the week, but for the rest of us, that is precious time to be together as a family. ONE overnight visit a month would be heaven, or a weekend a few times a year. Wanting to be away from your child nearly 30% of the time is not reasonable, I feel.
Eh...rich people for generations have sent their kids off to boarding schools thousands of miles away from the time they are very young...how is this any different? Celebrities and the rich live in a completely different realm than the rest of us and don't play by the same rules...they don't even apply.

Why do you have a question about someone you will never meet and know nothing about? I'm sure you can get all judgy about stuff in your own life
Same to everyone asking for proof, links, etc. showing how many minutes per day the parents spend with the child. Do you all live in Peyton Place ? Super bored? Extremely insecure about yourselves? There has to be something.
