I really think it's a mistake to second guess someone elses reasons and ability to be a good parent, especially when you don't know the person. I've seen total screw ups pull their act together to an incredible degree once they have a child, I've seen supposedly "perfect parent" types turn out to be cold, nasty, resentful parents. It's a transformative event, and not one that outsiders can really predict.

One thing for certain won't happen is treating a baby like it's a doll for dressing up. Or like a puppy to be played with for only as long as you feel like, then ignored. She will probably have to hire a nanny for her career's sake, but you know what? Chances are she'll figure it out, and come up with some family plan that works for her and her kid. In the mean time, this is all just gossip fodder of the nastiest sort.

there are such people in this world though

Yeah, not so much. There are people who neglect their children -- and that's a form of abuse. Doubtless she will hire a nanny who will bond with the baby, if she doesn't want to herself. But you can't just ignore a kid when they aren't convenient the way you can a puppy, not without harming the kid.

As for dressing up: Some kids enjoy it. Some kids hate it -- they are too squirmy, too sensitive to textures, too active to not wreck the clothes. If you have a kid who enjoys being dolled up you can do that. If you have one who hates it, it's not going to work. You don't get to choose your kid's personality.

You say that like the sort of person who would treat a kid that way cares if the kid comes to harm.

[velvet_mace]

On the contrary, you are treating people who would do that like they are normal parents, rather than abusive aberrations.
