Babe For Life

I did a recording for One Moment of Glory last night and saw something which angered me.

A couple brought their baby girl to the recording. By right, we have the right to reject their entry as it is stated on the ticket that children under 6 years old are not allow during recording. However, we decided to let them in, provided that the baby and maid to be seated at the side.

I was rather disturbed of what I saw actually. The parents were happily seated with their friends, cheering and playing, leaving the baby with the maid seated at one side. We moved her up to the higher seat, where it will not be too bright, and the noise is not too loud.

How can they leave their baby aside??? The baby is still an infant, so small and delicate. They should know that bright lights and loud noises are no good for an infant!!! So what if you think you are modern parents, a baby is still a baby, regardless he is born 2010, 2011 or 2020!!! How do you expect a modern baby be? Imagine the baby start talking to you the next day he is born, and say 'Hi Mummy, I am finally here. Can I have some milk please? Chocolate favour will be nice.'

A baby still has to go through the process of growing up. He must eat and sleep a lot to grow. He must get used to lights bit by bit, sound little by little. Then start to grow bigger and taller. Last night, everyone are cheering for their friends, and they are making as much noise as possible. Imagine how the baby can take it. If anything happen to the baby's hearing, won't the parents feel guilty???

Worst thing is, the mother can even tell us, at the later part of the show, that her baby is only 3 weeks old!!!! Goodness!!!

Does they know what they are doing???
