Celebrities are like us. They miss their flights while running to go pump breast milk for their baby and they question the comfort of others around them when they do.
That is the story of What to Do When Expecting actress Brooklyn Decker. She took to Twitter to share and commiserate her conundrum.
It was her first trip away from her 6-month old son Hank.
“2 mechanical delays. Told we could de-plane. I did. Pumped in the bathroom,” Decker tweeted. “Returned 15 min later. Flight closed. Deeeeep breaths.”
But it was a little too long. When she returned the flight had taken off without her.
“WHO LETS PASSENGERS OFF, THEN CLOSES THE GATE SHORTLY AFTER?!? GULPS WINE MISSES BABY SOBS” she shared while sipping on wine she drank at an airport restaurant while waiting for her next flight.
And she had to deal with mom-guilt on top of it all:
“First time leaving baby. It’s only 1 night & doesn’t make sense to fly him back & forth. I’m a mess. Moms: booze is my only solution,right?” she wrote.
She mentioned that age-old conundrum many breastfeeding mom before her might have had.
“And do you pump in your seat on the flight?? Or the bathroom?? #Spiraling.”
The Grace and Frankie star also brought up the Supermom thing. You know, how we are supposed to do it all and stay on top of schedules and everyone else.
“As women and as moms we try to do it all but it sure ain’t easy,” she tweeted, adding, “Crazy thing is I got off to pump thinking, ‘I don’t want to offend the guy next to me.’ But why? He probably sucked a boob too. #winemusings.”
Yes, indeed! Perfect!
