Sources are now saying that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden haven't been the best new parents in the world to their little baby, Harlow Winter Kate Madden! Specifically, The New York Post's Page Six reports:
Oh, come on now... I don't see what the problem is here... leaving the kid at home to go spend time with Big Benji and Lindsay Lohan. I bet they were all together for the kid to begin with... the whole Nicole, Joel, Benji, and Lindsay were together they were probably at a home depot picking out just the right color for baby Harlow's room... or maybe they were at a Bed Bath & Beyond picking out little kids' bed sheets. Yea, that must have been it... after all, Benji is the little kid's uncle... and Lindsay, although not related by blood, has just about as many DUIs as Nicole does, and I'm pretty sure there's a pretty tight sisterly bond between the two because of that... oh, and the drug use... that probably only strengthens the sisterly bond between Nicole and Lindsay. So, as far as I'm concerned I really doubt these past couple of weekends were nothing more than just spending time with "family" for the sake of the kid... they didn't simply dump little Harlow off with a nanny and go party... nope, that would be irresponsible... and a couple who was brought together by an accidental impregnation would never be that irresponsible. Nope. Never.
