how in the hell anyone could possibly think that Melanie has any claim or or the slighest chance of taking Parker away from Chloe? She is not related in any way. For that matter, I doubt if even Kate could do it. The only possibility would be Philip and I don’t see that happening.
Melanie has gone back over into the annoying column for me. I wish too that Chloe had pushed her in the Salem River today. I would have stood up and cheered for that one.
I can’t believe that none of these so-called "medical professionals" have considered the idea that Chloe has postpartum depression. They all think she has "lost it" and needs to have her child taken from her. At the very least no one has mentioned ppd to my knowledge.
a lot when she saw Chloe sitting there and pounced on her for not taking care of Parker. Of course, she was right, but would she have made the accusation had Kate not put the idea in her head?
Mel went from A to Z in a nano second, declaring Chloe an unfit mother with little to go on.
As much as I dislike Chloe, Mel seems to be doing the bratty number again.do people think that the fathers and grandparents of any given child have more of a right to that child than the mother. This has bothered me for years.
The only was CPS will remove a child from his/her mother is abuse. Here, just because someone was "wronged" in some way, the mother is in danger of losing her child. Makes no sense to me.
I thought that Chloe did a great job of telling Melanie off and pointing out that Melanie is not totally innocent in all this. She said everything that I thought and did it well.
to ask Chloe why she wasn’t taking care of her baby. A mother is not tied to their child 24/7 and it’s good for them to get away for awhile. Especially first-time mothers who have no experience with a baby. I thought Mel was being very presumptious and if I were Chloe, the only thing I would have said to her at all would have been, "Go jump in the river you witch!"
that Mel was right to ask Chloe – rather that she was right in that Chloe wasn’t caring for the baby. If Maggie weren’t on hand, poor Parker!
But yes, I totally agree that Mel had no place to confront Chloe and had she not spoken with Kate, I wonder if she would have. Otherwise, as you said, who wouldn’t assume Chloe was just out for a brief walk.to decide Chloe is unfit to care for Parker. I like when Chloe finds her backbone like she did yesterday with Mel, and how she has several times in the past with Kate. I wish she would find it more often. What I cannot understand is how she can simply keep walking out on that sweet baby, depression or not, when she admits that all she ever wanted was to have a child. I also can’t believe that the depression stems from "post-partum" when, in my mind, it stems from simply losing Daniel, who she makes me believe is the ONLY reason she is going through this depression at all. If she can turn away from her child simply because looking at him reminds her of Daniel, then maybe she is not what is best for him in the end. As far as I’m concerned, yes, she is mentally ill right now, but is it really post-partum or is it because her lies and deceit finally caught up to her, causing her to lose her husband? I have mixed feelings for Chloe right now, but, Kate or Melanie judging her unfit just amazes me considering the lifestyle they have both led.
Melanie has always annoyed me. She’s either whining or plotting or complaining. And, while I don’t condone what Phil and Chloe did, Melanie refuses to claim any part of it. She WAS the one who tried to tell Nathan that she would leave Phillip for him. She WAS the one who kissed him when Phil looked through the window. And, that was no "goodbye" kiss either. Chloe gets on my nerves and made some mistakes, but Melanie has absolutely no right to throw stones here.
If Chloe is really suffering from postpartum, then I’m not surprised how she’s treating Parker. I think the situation with Daniel has only made it worse. Not caused it, mind you, but without a doubt exacerbated it.
A goodbye kiss has got to be the DuMBEST excuse ever! have you ever heard of such a thing? when I think of a goodbye kiss it would just be a peck on the cheek, or lips, not a 5 minute lip lock. it was just her excuse to kiss him one more time. She is totally on my hate list right now. she was different when she came on, yeah she was a bratty, conniving witch, but i still kind of liked her, now she’s a royal pain in the ass, just like her mother in law Kate. Cant stand either of them right now. And you can throw in EJ’s smug laugh. that drives me crazy!
snow – LOL!)…but I just caught up on yesterday’s (Wednesday). While I so agree with you all that Mel is a snotty brat and is on her high horse right now, I do think she was totally correct in the first part of the show saying that "Parker deserves better, (since Chloe) isn’t working, and it was the middle of the day, etc." Chloe has pawned off Parker since he was about two days old!
I said that way back when Parker was a week old. I had to laugh at Chloe when she was telling Daniel that she showed a picture of him to Parker and Parker was crying – a two or three month old baby doesn’t know who Da-da is yet! Not enough to cry from missing someone. That is pathetic on Chloe’s part for saying something so stupid, she is clawing at anything she can do to get Daniel back.
I’m not going to be surprised in the least if Dannyboy doesn’t move on with someone else for awhile, but then the writers will put him back eventually with Chloe – unless she does a complete turn around don’t do it Daniel! And to say something nice about Chloe – her hair looks much nicer straight.
I don’t believe you can fully understand PPD unless you’ve experienced it. I had a mild case after losing a baby after 7 months of pregnancy. He was born live but only lived one hour. The strange thing was that I was unhappy I had gotten pregnant and didn’t really want that baby anyway. But, I got PPD and I cried and cried and was really neglecting my other two kids. (Thank God for my mom.) I thought I was just feeling guilty for the baby dying because I hadn’t wanted it. PPD wasn’t very well known way back then (that was 1962) and I never realized that’s what was going on until later when it was better understood.
So, I can understand completely what Chloe is going through. She also feels guilty she’s not feeling "motherly" or maternal toward Parker and doesn’t want to take care of him. And I think that losing Daniel has just compounded her feelings. I just wish she’d follow through with that doctor and take the pills Daniel prescribed for her. That’s the only way she’ll get better. Well, that’s not completely true, eventually, time will take care of it but that’s the hard way.
What I really, really don’t understand is all the doctors on this show and nobody (especially Daniel) has even have an inkling what’s wrong with her when the symptoms are so obvious and classic. I have to remind myself, IOAS, IOAS, IOAS… <sigh>
it just seems odd to me that up until the reveal, followed by Daniel’s total rejection of Chloe to the point of walking out on her and their marriage, she was perfectly happy with being a mother. She may have felt she wasn’t a very good one yet, but that would be more explainable when it comes to her very rare chance of even getting pregnant in the first place, coupled with being a new and inexperienced mommy. That I can understand, but her real problems didn’t begin until she was found out at the Christening; then all hell broke loose for her and it’s been downhill ever since. She was certainly praising her child and motherhood up until that drastic reveal.
three miscarriage before giving up being a mother – so I know Bonbon is right about loosing a baby is heart-breaking, but Chloe only really got weirded out after the Christening, inspite of the new mother jitters.
