Alex McCord Sipped Champagne While In Labor



We'll give the "Real Housewives of New York" something to talk about on their next episode - we got our hands on fellow castmate Alex McCord and her house hubby Simon van Kempen's new parenting book - and it's sure to make Jill Zarin say "oh my gawd!"

The pair, who have been criticized in the past for their child-rearing skills on air (Countess LuAnn Delessepps recently scoffed at their son Francois's behavior when he climbed up a stranger's leg in the Hamptons) are adding new fuel to the fire by spilling their unconventional parenting rules in "Little Kids Big City: Tales From A Real House In New York City."

"Throughout my pregnancy, I gave into every craving I felt," admits the Housewife in one chapter of the tome, which will hit bookstands April 6th. "When I wanted to have a drink, I did."

And this includes the night she went into labor with Francois: in fact, McCord says she was sipping on champagne when Simon escorted her to the hospital.
Credit Alex's honesty, but when it comes to risking your child's health this is just over-the-top. If people weren't judging the McCord's as bad parents before, they certainly will now.

  1. It is ridiculous to say anything about Alex, she is a great parent and I don't give a rip if she SIPPED champagne while she was on the way to the hospital. You think what's in an epidural is all organic and safe for a baby? Better that she was relaxed! As Kelly would say, Zip It!
