'Rattled' new mum lashes out after her husband leaves her at home with their newborn while he enjoys a boys' trip at the snow
Steph Claire Smith has hit back at a follower who suggested husband Josh Miller was being neglectful. The criticism came after the fitness influencer, 31, revealed on her Instagram story that Josh had gone away on a 'boys' trip' to the snow, leaving Steph at home with their two children - Harvey, four, and Billie, two months. The follower slid into Steph's DMs to slam Josh for leaving the parental duties solely on Steph's shoulders while he was off enjoying himself. 'But why does your husband need time with mates? Like, what about you? Doesn't sound like time alone for you nor a vacation for you,' the fan wrote in the message shared to Steph's Instagram story on Thursday. 'Like, I could never imagine my husband going on a snow trip with friends while I'm with basically the newborn baby. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Like WTFFF? He's always with me or one of the babies. 'Also not to mention, you're the one who works on top of it all. Sorry but that doesn't feel right. I can't imagine.' Steph shot down the suggestion that Josh was neglecting his young family with an expansive response. 'This DM rattled me and I want to talk about it,' she began. 'Our dynamic is, sadly unique. Me being the working parent and Josh being the stay-at-home dad is unlike the majority.' She added that while their situation was not the norm, it had taught her a lot about relationships. 'This dynamic has taught me a lot though. Really it's taught us both a lot about understanding the other person's perspective and position in the relationship,' she added. Steph also pointed out that, after children, a father's life changes as dramatically as the mother's. 'Dads' lives change too when they become parents,' she said. 'Sure, their body doesn't go through what ours does through pregnancy and postpartum... a lot of the time, they are the ones that kind of get to go back to their lives/work in their career. 'But it doesn't mean they don't deserve time with friends or time to themselves.' Still not done with her response, Steph added that Josh's contribution to the family as a stay-at-home dad was immeasurable. 'As partners, we check in on each other constantly and encourage each other to fill up our cups,' she said. 'I've always encouraged him to book in some time out of the house and to connect with friends. 'And same goes for me. When I'm not working, I'm craving time with my kids, but that doesn't mean I don't also deserve me time/alone time and/or time with friends to recharge. She continued: 'Josh does so much to support me and our family. He is constantly putting us first. I'm so sorry but he absolutely deserves his time away.' She rounded out her response, suggesting that the follower think before they post. 'Next time you feel like writing this to someone, pause to think to yourself: "Am I projecting my own personal frustrations and feelings onto someone else's life choices?"' Still not done dressing down the follower, she continued with another story slamming the message as 'contradictory'. 'Also, the "you're the one who works on top of it all" was a little contradictory because generally men who are the working parent are the ones who feel like they can't go out and see their friends because of either the guilt they feel for their partner at home carrying the load... or they generally want to spend their non-working hours with their kids. 'At the end of the day, no matter your gender, no matter whether you stay at home or work, you deserve time with friends. 'Unless of course you're never home and never doing anything to help with the load at home. 'Then yes, get your butt home and prioritise giving the stay-at-home partner a break.' She then shared a third post that praised both stay-at-home and working parents. 'And then there's dads like Josh who do both, and constantly put themselves last. You deserve me-time, too,' she wrote.

Lizzie Cundy, 57, puts on a very leggy display in a red swimsuit as she soaks up the sun in Venice after her son Josh's lavish wedding
Lizzie Cundy put on a very leggy display as she soaked up the sun in Venice, following her son's lavish wedding. The TV personality, 57, showed off her figure in a red cut-out swimsuit while striking a pose in front of the water. In another snap, Lizzie looked incredible in a plunging purple midi dress with a daring thigh-high split detail as she explored the city. Sharing the series of images to Instagram on Tuesday, Lizzie wrote: 'Venice is the city of love… and I've definitely fallen!❤️ I'm gondola miss this place' It was a weekend of blessings, vows and happy reunions as Lizzie's son married his long-term partner in Italy. Cundy was among close family and friends on Saturday as Josh Miller exchanged vows with fiancée Martina Bassenger, a creative director for London based production company Sons of Rigor Films. With Venice serving as an appropriately romantic backdrop, the happy couple - who met five years ago - looked stunning as they posed for photos with their parents shortly after the ceremony. Martina opted for traditional white on the day, with the brunette walking the aisle in a custom floor-length gown and matching veil. Meanwhile Josh, an actor and producer, chose a smart two piece suit from Nathan Palmer Bespoke Tailors, offset with a white dress shirt and bow tie. Not to be outdone, the groom's mother stood out in an elegant pastel pink gown from luxe bespoke bridal specialists Katy Britton. Cundy, whose entire look was assembled by celebrity stylist, editor & fashion expert Marian Kwei, completed her ensemble with a matching hat from award winning milliners House Of Charles. Sharing an array of photos from the wedding on social media, she wrote: 'My boy only got married!…. I'm so proud I could burst!! Here's to the most beautiful couple Josh and Martina.. I've not stopped crying with joy.' The weekend provided a reunion of sorts, with the presenter accompanied by ex-husband Jason Cundy - the groom's father - for an additional series of photos as the reception spilled over into the evening. Radio broadcaster Cundy, a former footballer who played as a centre-back for Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Ipswich Town before retiring in 2000, opted for a cream linen suit as he watched his son exchange vows. The ex-footballer later took the microphone - and centre stage - as guests settled down to an al-fresco lunch, with his former wife later sharing photos on social media with the caption: 'Jason doing what he does best.' With the celebrations carrying on well into the evening, Cundy joked that her son's wedding could well match that of billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos - who married his long term partner Lauren Sanchez in Venice last month . Sharing a video of the bride and groom letting their hair down on the dance floor, she joked: 'Move over Jeff Bezos... this is how to do a wedding.' In a separate post, featuring Josh and Martina raising a celebratory glass following their wedding ceremony, she wrote: 'To the most beautiful couple.' Cundy previously discussed the breakdown of her marriage during an appearance on Vanessa Feltz's Channel 5 show in May. The presenter married Jason in 1994, with the couple welcoming two children before divorcing in 2010. 'At the time it broke my heart,' she told Feltz. 'As I said, I think I had a breakdown, I didn't eat, I lost an incredible amount of weight. I was very upset and Vanessa you were there and supporting me very much.' However, she explained that she has been able to move past the hurt and has since built a strong friendship with her ex-husband. She added: 'But life moves on and I say to everyone, make friends. There's no point being bitter and angry and that does go. And when I see him now, I don't think of that at all.'
