I am on S2E7 - Paris talking to the therapist

So, I had read a lot of negative comments about Season 2 with the baby, but I decided to go ahead and take the plunge so I can make my own opinion about it. As I progressed through the show, I generally agreed with those comments, especially the parts where Paris leaves to go record her music and other endeavors basically right after the baby is born and does not talk once about the baby while she is out of town. In fact, the traveling scenes, if spliced out of the whole show, look like she’s just living her life and doesn’t have a baby at all. I found that to be pretty off putting but onward we go.

Then we get to S2E7 where she is talking to the therapist. She tells the therapist that she spends about an hour in the morning with her baby and then after that leaves for the rest of the day to work? Or travel? Or go do other things? She says she feels guilty and that it’s “a lot for one person” because she has a job and there are employees depending on her. Then she says her sister and friends spend all this time with their babies like going to Mommy and Me classes but she doesn’t do them because she just “doesn’t have time to do those things.”

Everything up to this point I found to be uncomfortable and out of touch but this conversation really took it to the next level. Paris is not some kind of hourly employee who has to leave her child and work full time to put food on the table for her family. This woman is a billionaire, with all the resources in the world - she can take maternity leave/infinite time off to spend with her child but she chooses not to do so, and then she feels guilty? And then has the audacity to say it’s “a lot for one person”? And that she “doesn’t have the time”? It’s not that she doesn’t have the time, she is simply not making the time. I was horrified TBH.

Also the therapist - when Paris says, she doesn’t know who she prefers the baby to have an attachment to (her or the nanny) because she doesn’t feel responsible enough to take care of a baby and the therapist saying, “If you were irresponsible, you wouldn’t have built a multi-billion dollar empire” 😭 I’m sorry I don’t get the correlation between running a company and caring for an infant 😭

Anyway, I know I echo a lot of the sentiments on this sub and perhaps this post is a bit repetitive, but I was so overwhelmed with disbelief at watching that scene that I had to come here and post so I could get my feelings out somewhere 🥲
