What Would You Do?


I was all set to blast Kate Moss for taking her five year old daughter clubbing on NYE, but then I thought about it for a minute, and decided it wasn't as bad as exposing her to Pete Doherty for almost her entire life or probably using drugs in front of her or screwing a bunch of different guys all called Uncle.

Kate and her boyfriend Jamie Hince were in Phuket with Kate's daughter for the holidays. On NYE, Kate couldn't find anyone to babysit her daughter so she decided to take her daughter with her to the resort's party. "Kate was dancing around with Lila, and they were sipping champagne until well past midnight. "But Kate was definitely being a mom. She was with her daughter the whole time."

Is this really any different than you having people over to your home and having champagne with them? Yes, normally your five year old would be asleep well before midnight, but is one night going to harm the child for life? What would you do if you were in a resort in Thailand on one of the busiest nights of the year for babysitters and you couldn't get one?

Would you just stay in your hotel room all night with your boyfriend and daughter, or would you take your daughter to the club with you. I actually think that with what little time Kate spends with her daughter, spending the evening with her daughter on NYE like that was probably the most maternal thing she did in the last 12 months. That, and probably kicking Pete to the curb. You just have to know that if Pete was giving crack to cats and other animals, that the thought crossed his mind about Kate's daughter and giving her some crack. It had to.
