Lets be honest, poor Amelia was a ‘fixer’ baby and it’s totally blown up in Emily’s face.
- Having a baby hasn’t fixed her failing marriage. If anything it’s added further strain financially and emotionally.
- Having a baby hasn’t fixed it so she can never work again, and I get the impression her lack of work ethic contributes to her marriage woes.
- Having a baby hasn’t fixed her failing instagram ‘career’. She didn’t get the deals, freebies or PR opportunities she wanted whilst pregnant, or since giving birth.
- Having a baby hasn’t fixed her SW following, because she’s piled the weight on and is clearly the biggest and unhealthiest she has ever been. (Her choice with that one, size is personal).
All Amelia’s arrival has done is highlight some pretty awful, neglectful and at times dangerous parenting choices on Emily’s part. It’s also further highlighted her very strange, not quite all together there, relationship with her Ella.
A fine example of why babies don’t ‘fix’ anything. And if you aren’t in it to give your baby the World, you shouldn’t be having babies! My child is my everything. Does he test my patience? Yes. Do we have bad days with no naps and tantrum after tantrum? Of course!! But he is my everything and I would do anything for him!! I spent every last penny of my maternity pay on him, taking him to baby groups, spending time together, buying beautiful new clothes (that were weather appropriate might I add). He has never gone without.
And whilst I know some families can’t afford to do that, it’s a case of priorities. And that’s where Emily fails as a parent. She doesn’t prioritise her children above herself, and that is very sad indeed.
