I don't get why people excuse it or try to candy-coat it.
Nor do I. And I've seen such a lot of people jumping through various hoops trying to justify it - because for many of them, Moffat can do no wrong.
Thing is - how do you explain something so fundamental as the link between a parent and child? Regardless of the fact that Amy didn't know she was pregnant, she still gave birth, her body was full of the necessary hormones and she got to spend at least a small amount of time with her child. Until I became a parent, I had no idea just how strongly I would feel about my children and how instantaneous and simply HUGE that feeling would be.
I'm sure it's a very personal thing - but I'm also sure that the majority of parents experience the same.

That remark of Amy's was too little, too late.
