He’s a retired hockey player, she’s one of those wives who posts up her entire life on instagram. They have turned off all of their social media.

Given her career goals, I wonder how much time she actually spends with the infant or with the other 3 children? Perhaps she was thinking she had dropped the baby off at daycare....
