Oh not until she goes home, like all the Huns, she’s afraid we’ll all rush to the resort to see her.Has she actually named what resort they are in?!! Some advertising
Louise, without even the merest hint of self-awareness, moaning about “Nat from Below Deck” moaning all the time. Jesus wept. Never in the history of moaning has any ever moaned as much as Louise. She invented moaning. She defines it. She epitomises it. She is moaning.
Ah fuck off Louise. I say that as someone who could do with losing a couple of stone.
All Chris Moyles said was that he used to be fat. Which is accurate. She is permanently offended!
She is obviously not comfortable in her own body. My reaction to him was fair play Chris...which I think most normal, well adjusted people think. She makes absolutely everything about her herself. She must be a barrell of laughs to be around.

Fair play to Louise, she never seems to let work or “distractions” interfere with the multiple weekends away with mates without her kids. A free holiday to Ibiza and preaching to the rest of us to “book that holiday”. She’s an absolute privileged dose.
It’s looking like the Louise o neill & Richard chambers rumours are really true. If they are I’d be heartbroken for Louise. She’s such a kind and sensitive lovely person and doesn’t deserve that level of humiliation. Richard seems to be on a solo holiday and Louise has been posting about self love classes, not being able to read and her brain being broken, also the last paragraph in her latest article said “my blackened heart is too cynical for love these days” or something along those lines (paraphrasing here) and she’s also taken her Twitter back from Richards control. Neither have been seen with or mentioned the other in months. So sad since they just bought a house together and had been together for years 🥲
And I thought she looked lovely, love the outfit on her.Oh dear god, unflattering photo

He does work. Full time. Despite ongoing issues from his foot basically exploding after the Bataclan shooting.
They also have a special needs daughter who requires 24/7 care, so not like Katie herself could work.
But harsh.
I took it as him having to put up with her shite in general, not necessarily the tatt!

People can share support for Palestine while also being horrified by Hamas. How many babies will now be killed by Israels actions? Israelis do not care about them. Palestine need more vocal support everywhere whilst the likes of the US, EU and other powerful nations support Israel without admitting they are committing war crimes and genocide before our very eyes

As a childfree person who doesn't particularly want children, I'm extremely skeptical of parents who make out that having children is the most wonderful and important thing in the world and that you're somehow 'less' if you're aren't a parent. I have listened to friends and families complain about their kids and how hard it is, but never outright say that they regret having them. Because people are very unlikely to admit regret life alter decisions aren't they?
While Louise does complain excessively about her kids, I find the discussion on the podcast refreshing to be honest. I wish more people would be direct that they regret having kids and that it totally redirects your life in a way that can be unexpected and unwanted. A lot of people have children without really evaluating if they want them and if they would be a good parent.
After Louise went through chemo, she was advised that she would struggle with fertility and they started trying straight away, she got pregnant basically straight away. If she had never been sick, they might have put off trying for a lot longer and she could have lived her life as she wanted to. I have friends that don't want to been seen as shít craic parents that never come out on nights out so they put themselves under pressure to do it all and I think Louise is in this camp too.
Judging by the reactions on this thread by parents, this is a minority opinion but there are likely parents who hate their lives with kids and wish they could go back to before times. Hard for their children to hear but the kids likely are aware of that anyway from treatment at home. It's an important conversation that might put off people who'd be shite parents (myself included).

It’s the stance that every single issue is completely black or white, with no room for nuance, or discussion. “You’re with me or you’re evil”, basically. It’s not even about the trans issue as such, as I agree that will derail the thread.
But, as another poster said above, it’s influencers who live in a complete echo chamber bubble, never having to use critical thinking, bleating out crap all over the internet and waiting for thanks and likes, before moving on to the next round of begging or showing off their latest #pr drop, indulging in endless consumption and disgusting materialism, as the world burns.
Louise is just one of the very many. And of course I buy shite too, it’s the world we live in, but the hypocrisy of these people is off the charts. I just think the world we live in now is pretty depressing, in so many ways :/

But these are 2 actual living breathing humans she’s talking about who have a right not to be complained about all over the internet. What if a teacher in the boys’ primary school follows Louise or listens to her podcast and then she ends up teaching one of them. She could have a preconceived idea of them being bold or difficult and subconsciously treat him differently as a result. This idea of children not having a digital footprint left for them by parents seems to be really gaining traction at the moment and there’s increasing realisation that every child deserves a blank slate. Anyone in her fairly substantial following knows those boys’ names and rough ages. I don’t even follow her anymore and i could pick them out of a lineup. Of course there are hard days in parenting but offload in your friend group WhatsApp not on a podcast listened to by thousands. Hell would freeze over before my children heard me speaking that way about them in such a public way. Imagine the husband went on a podcast saying he regretted marrying her and he can’t recommend getting married? You can be sure she wouldn’t like that. How’s what she’s doing any different?

As a piece of art, the tattoo is excellent, really detailed. HOWEVER, if she thinks that’s something to “boost” body positivity, she’s very wrong. Anyone who is overweight knows how insulting being called Miss Piggy is. How upsetting and triggering it is. It is not a positive thing at all. She is grossly unhappy with her life and how she looks. Her filtered chiselled instagram catfish pictures are proof
I don’t see what’s wrong with using an anicdote to illistrate a point. It is bad form for a major retailer like Next to firstly sell out of stock items, but then to neither notify their customers or proactively issue refunds without having to be chased.
Sorry is this logic gets in your way of whinging about someone
She’s not a perky person, personally I enjoy anyone who is not constantly full of relentless fake positivity, all “happy Monday guys” and manifesting their best life.
im not saying I like her all the time and don’t find her irritating at times, but she at least has something to say for herself and is not afraid to upset the PRs for Next or whatever brand by calling out poor customer service.

I’d rather have her than some influencer like Doireann blowing in. No doubt that’ll be the route they’ll go down to get the younger listeners they’re so obsessed with. Main thing I didn’t like about her show was she always had her friends like Sophie and Emer on for the discussion pieces and then would have them on a couple of weeks later promoting their books, didn’t sit right. I’m sure she’ll get something else though
One thing I will agree with. You only have to read the idiotic comments from the likes of Dr Doireann Oleary to see her opinions on over weight people. If that's what a gp can think is appropriate to say in public you can only imagine what she says in private.I’m no fan of Louise which will be evident from my earlier posts on this thread, but the answer to discrimination against fat people when accessing medical care and in the workplace is not simply for everyone to lose weightwe wouldn’t allow discrimination on the grounds of any other physical characteristic.
