‘The mom-shamers are real, that’s for sure. I’ve gotten both ends of the spectrum,’ she revealed.
‘I’ve gotten people who are like, “Oh I’m so happy you’re getting back to work, that’s great!” And then I have people who are like, “You need to give your body time to recover and heal, and who’s taking care of the baby?”‘
Thankfully, Christine has not taken any of online criticism seriously.
‘I’m like, “Listen, my husband’s amazing. He’s home, the baby’s sleeping, what’s the difference?” For me, I love to work,’ she told the hosts.
‘There are single moms out there every single day working two, three jobs, doing it. Women are so strong and they can do it.
‘For me, I’m happy to be working. I’m thrilled to have a job and I’m thrilled to have a baby and be able to do it all.
‘I think that’s really the message here: Women really can do it all, so don’t be shaming!’
She revealed that even though baby Christian hasn’t met any of the Selling Sunset cast yet, she plans on introducing them all to him soon.
Previously the Netflix star confirmed the birth of her son with People magazine.
‘Baby C is more precious than I could have ever imagined,’ she said. ‘Nine months seems like a lifetime to wait to meet someone,’ she told the publication, revealing the tot has a whole wardrobe full of designer gear already.
‘It is the most incredible feeling to know that you have created life. My protective mama bear mentality is stronger than ever. My sole job is to protect him, to love him and to raise him.’
Selling Sunset is available to stream on Netflix.
