Eva Amurri Martino Slams Critics After Revealing Night Nurse Dropped Her Baby Son on His Head
Eva Amurri Martino is sick of being mom-shamed.
The 31-year-old actress took to Instagram on Monday, Jan. 2 to slam her critics hours after she revealed her family's night nurse recently dropped her baby son, Major James, on his head.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has reached out with words of comfort or to share their own stories the past 24 hours. It is so moving to know there are so many of you who are wishing our sweet boy well, and who are rooting us on as a family," Eva began her post.
"I'd like to say one thing, which is that parenthood is not a competition. Nobody gets an award at the end of all of it for doing it the best or most perfect way," she continued. "All that matters is how we make our children feel, how we feel about them, and how we feel about ourselves as parents."
"To those who have expressed judgement, cruelty, and criticism of me, my choices, or my fragility during this time — I'm not going to justify myself to you. But I sincerely wish that 2017 brings you enough self love and confidence that you no longer feel the need to tear down another person during their darkest moment. ❤??✨ Peace, please," Eva wrote.
Earlier on Monday [Susan Sarandon's daughter published an emotional blog post about her son's scary accident. "I’m not doing well. In fact, I’m really struggling," Eva wrote.
"A couple of days after Thanksgiving, our night nurse fell asleep while holding Major and dropped him, and he cracked his head on the hardwood floor. [My husband, Kyle Martino], and I were sleeping at the time and were awoken by the sound of his head hitting the floor, and then hysterical piercing screams," she recalled.

"He suffered a fractured skull and bleeding on his brain, and was transported by ambulance to Yale Medical Center where I spent two harrowing days with him to receive emergency care and further testing," Eva continued. "To say these were the most traumatic and anxious two days of my life is an understatement… But here’s the good part: by the grace of all of his many angels, and every God one cares to pray to, MAJOR IS FINE. Completely fine."
Eva and her husband, Kyle, 35, welcomed Major in October 2016. The couple — who married in October 2011 — are also parents to a two-year-old daughter, Marlowe.
