No one should be taking a 2 week old baby to anything like a show.

Babies need a nice quiet home. That poor baby. ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

Weeeell, babysitters are expensive, and it's difficult to find good ones, especially in a hurry. I can understand if someone didn't want to go through that hassle and cost of living pressure. But surely a pacifier and a small jar of honey would be standard operating procedure if you did bring a baby along.

not many baby sitters would want to care for a new born

can a 2 week old even have a dummy and honey?

I'm thinking to when I was mother to a 2 week yr old, I didn't want to go anywhere, still felt uncomfortable sitting, boobs like painful gushers, tiny baby that had to be feed frequently and cared for and my baby was an easy baby!

The baby was 8 months old not a new born.

oh, I read it was a new born

well, 8 months is a bit different, still not great , still clueless

some places are just not meant for babies
