Here are 3 pics doing the rounds in EI

Thomas, fetch me some waffles would you babyyyy
With some strawberries too and maybe
Later we can have some fun
But not go the whole way 'cos since the birth of my son
I've not been in the mood
Anyway, hurry up with my food!
I'm feeding our son liquid gold from the boob
While I film a video for YouTube
And respond to comments on Instagram
I'm so busy and important since becoming a mam
I still think Covid is a lie
Oh, by the way, I'm still bi!
I'm also a writer, have you read my stuff?
I never stop talking about my tits and muff
Just last week I advertised lube
And right now my son's on the boob
Just chilling up here in the attic
While my behaviour's completely erratic
I won't wear a mask when nobody's near
Here's a 50% discount for Fabletics gear!

Someone needs to take the 2 fucking phones off these spanners

Since when do people be cleared for intercourse I thought it’s only to check you’re healing as you should


Yes they do give out if the baby is too heavy but it’s no surprise ifs she’s feeding him around the clock ,maybe she should offer him water between feeds you’d never put a young child on a restrictive diet just small changes can make a difference until he’s more mobile.

What’s the point of giving a shout out to the husband for “waiting patiently”? Is respecting consent not a normal thing and do men need to be applauded everytime they “wait patiently and not put pressure on women for sex?”. What kind of internalized misogyny is that?!

In fairness it’s not mels fault or my fault that we grew up in Dublin and not Afghanistan. I didn’t chose to be white the same why you didn’t chose not to be. This white privilege crap is bullshit in my view its is just a tactic brought out to divide people even more. I may be white but I had a shitty mother and I have mental health issues. Someone could be black with a fantastic family and great mental health. Just make the most of the lot you are given. We all aren’t starting off with an equal deck of cards be you white, black ,orange ,yellow, green whatever . Some people have it better some don’t. I’m so sick and tired of hearing I have some kind of privilege because of my skin colour. It’s down right racist if you ask me. But white props aren’t allowed to pull that card. Just for clarification by the way I’m not saying what’s happening to the people in Afghanistan isn’t terribly unjust either, it’s just just dreadful what’s happening.

White privilege doesn't mean your life hasn't been hard, it means your skin colour isn't one of the things making it harder.

Rupi Kaur really convinced several people they can write any old shite, break it up into too many stanzas with too many

lines
and
call it

poetry

Anyone who says kids wearing a mask to school is child abuse have a very slim idea of what constitutes child abuse and has had a very easy life.

I said what I said

Ugh that ‘expertly rubbers up’ and ‘on his hunkers, looming over me’ section..I just shuddered with cringe is this supposed to be sexy? Never mind lips vanishing into face, my vag vanished into my abdomen reading this.
The way she writes, particularly the self harm/ depression passages (other than the ones she plagiarised) gives me such “I’m 16 and this is deep and edgy” vibes. No actual substance or understanding of the issues she is trying to write about

Hi all I don't normally post on here, but I thought I'd give my perspective as a rather younger viewer of Melanie's. As a previous supporter I also feel like that atrocious Dublin Live article was the last straw. This will also be unnecessarily long so sorry about that, no need to read it all, but I could write an essay on this if I so wished I'm 20 now but I started watching Melanie in my teens - and recently I genuinely feel heartbroken from the way she's acting. That might sound dramatic to some people, but as a teen I literally idolised her - I found her vids on being bi and sex so relatable (I'm also from Ireland and sex is stupidly taboo here, love conservatism) and as someone with mental illness myself I found her journey as someone with mental illness and eating disorders so inspiring. I binge read her books and allowed myself to be heavily influenced by her in terms of idiology and general world views. Now, seeing this absolute bollox about anti lockdown/masks, constant whinging and faux Dr narrative, terrible financial decisions and save aviation hashtag boils my blood. I know she struggles badly with her mental health, and EVERYONE is struggling with this situation, but they're also worsening their own situation by making appalling financial decisions and posting about them??? Encouraging spending a ridic amount on groceries, wedding, hair transplant and electric car when they're in debt and can't even afford rent is so dangerous to her younger audience because they'll think that that's okay. Not to mention they had a kid and are planning ANOTHER despite being apparently broke and hard done by yada yada?? I'm more than a DECADE younger than her and I can budget better, I work fulltime to pay my rent around my degree and stay financially independent. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with living with your parents, but it's the lack of self awareness and acting hard done by when they're not for me. They whine about not being able to afford a house, but maybe if they budgeted better on groceries, didn't buy like 50 takeaways a week and spend money like its going out of fashion they wouldn't be in this situation - but no, they can't even admit that, they just blame the pandemic and government for their own poor decisions etc. They also completely out themselves and make it obvious they whine about not having money, but in their vlogs all they eat is expensive branded food and takeaways. Once again, nothing wrong with that, but if they needed to save money on food they could go to fucking aldi like the rest of us?!?! Not really sure why I'm writing this, I rarely even use these threads like tattle, but maybe it's interesting for some people to see the perspective of someone a generation younger than her - take what you will from it. I feel bad for fellow viewers who supported her during a crucial developmental time and will grow up influenced by her too lol

So don’t have a drink? Not hard for you. You weren’t an alcoholic you were just a dickhead when you were drunk. But you’re also a massive dickhead when you’re sober so I don’t know how to solve that one.

Can someone compile a list of every illness/health issue she's claimed to have had over the years? The irony of it all is that there's definitely something going on that she needs to seek help for and get a potential diagnosis for because her behaviour is just outrageously unhealthy and abnormal. Making dozens of sock puppet accounts, some of which she uses to literally have pretend conversations with herself, the right wing conspiracy theories, bullying other creators. Girl needs a therapist asap.

I'm sure there's some I have missed. Feel free to add on.

Oh I almost forgot:

25.Cystic acne (which I do believe, you can see it in her old videos talking about having acne)

26.Traumatic birth (forceps, tearing, doctor abusing her etc.)

27.Chronic UTIS

28.Chronic Yeast infections

29.Chlamydia (apparently her ex gave it to her as he was cheating on her, not sure which ex)

30.Intense baby brain/brain fog

31.Pandemic brain fog

32.Social anxiety (she’s claimed to be an ambivert but in her recent interactions on Instagram she’s said she’s an extrovert)

Now in terms of her identity crises :

1.Bisexual (which I’m not in the camp of saying she’s doing it for attention or to be cool, sexuality is complex and I believe people can be bisexual even if they’ve always in been in straight passing relationships, therefore, I’m putting bisexual here because she’s said sometimes she’s seen herself as pansexual- so it highlights her inconsistencies but I’m not here to deny her sexuality ain’t my business)

2.Pansexual- has said she’s pansexual but prefers the bi label

3.Made Jessie feel odd for being ultra monogamous and not wanting to do open or poly relationships because Mel loved doing but then went on to say she’s…..

4. Now she identifies as a serial monogamist

5.Went Vegan for a while but said it caused her ED issues but is now back onto a vegan diet

6.Always had horrible exes (I’m not here to deny any abuse anyone has experienced, I believe all victims however, she’s retracted her statement saying she too was abusive so it is unclear. Not here to dismiss any victims, won’t do it.)

7.Says she’s pro choice but doesn’t like the idea of abortion and didn’t vote to repeal.

8.Has said she’s a feminist but then has said she’s not and follows the values of Jordan Peterson and spouts anti feminist, pick me mantras and statements

9.Says she experiences imposter syndrome

10.Lived in LA: said she experienced a mid twenties crisis

I’d also like to make a point but that pretending to have mental/physical health issues is a mental illness in itself. It is not a result of just being a cow or a pain in the arse it is a result of an illness- one has to be mentally unstable to fabricate such things. Thinking you are more interesting, valuable and popular because you’ve had several health issues is a mental illness. I’m not a specialist and I’m not going to diagnose her with Munchausen or anything like that but I think it’s safe to say that, that sort of behaviour is not normal healthy behaviour. Okay back to it,

11.She’s had covid health scares (even though she no longer believes in covid)

12.Has experienced poverty but said she’s always been comfortable


13. Made an entire video saying she's struggled with her gender identity and said she was androgynous and could’ve passed for trans and used that as a basis to invalidate people who identified as non binary.

All Melanies issues, real and imagined, are related to the toxic relationship she has with her own mother. Her mother making a responsible decision and leaving an unhappy marriage with a man so bereft of personal responsibility, he could allow his pregnant daughter to fund his living situation while she lives in an attic, is something she just can’t come to terms with - and it’s haunting every interaction and relationship she has in the world. All the imagined diseases and attention seeking is to try and get the attention of a mother of two daughters, while she lionises her father because she does not have to share attention with a younger, prettier sister. The breastfeeding is just another extension of that. She needs to constantly reiterate the “sacrifice” she has made for her child and how she would never put her personal needs ahead of that. She is a martyr mother and we all need to be reminded how wonderful she is. We all need to be constantly reminded that she is not her mother.



She cannot see how privileged she is to have full time help of other adults living in the house, not having a ticking clock on when she needs to get back into full time work ( actual 9-5 work not taking photos of yourself and writing shite on the internet). All she sees is that she is being the “good mother” and any other choices that aren’t hers are poor choices by mothers with priorities that aren’t 100 percent their children. She doesn’t understand the complexities and demands of other women’s lives ( re: all the performative feminism) and to be honest how could she. She’s spent the past 15 years in her bedroom, uploading videos to YouTube and sulking with her mother. She has no concept whatsoever of the sacrifices and struggles involved in being an adult woman because she’s not one. She’s a child playing house.



I’ve unfollowed her. Cant understand how anyone has the time or interest to be wasting seconds of a busy day on the whinging of an Aran sweatered Melania Frump.

I don't understand how her and Hannah are still friends. Hannah's new series of the hormone diaries has been so interesting, raw, honest, upsetting. Ive been really feeling for her with all of the tests she's had to have. It must really suck. She's also spoken about wanting kids now so she can potentially get her stoma reversed because *I think* she said she has an increased cancer risk the longer she keeps it? (Or something to that effect).

There's a lot on the line for Hannah and she's actually had a fertility journey to document. Mel didnt even have chance to tell people she was trying she got pregnant so quickly

I also don't like this idea that women could be doing more to prepare for pregnancy. So much of getting pregnant is based completely on luck and is nothing to do with how well you eat or what vitamins you take. It feels like it feeds into this really harmful narrative that it's the womans fault she isnt pregnant, and if she'd eaten a little better, drunk a little less, excerised a little more, she wouldn't be in this position.

This just really hacked me off because I really like Hannah and I think she's being really disrespectful tryimg to "give tips"

Rant over

@HoneyBee29 ''After the age of 35 your classed as high risk as your at a higher risk of having certain complications which is why personally I wouldn't have anymore after 35. I know a few women that have had babies in their mid 30s though''

A little insensitive but let me clear something up for you. You don't suddenly become high risk once you turn 35, that number is as old as the research on the decline of fertility, based from the 17-1800's. Yeah. It starts to decline slightly after 35, but by 40 it goes significantly down, and that is where the risks become high. Pregnancy comes with risks anyway, from any age, medical conditions, the baby, conditions that may arise. This whole 35 thing is really outdated, and women with PCOS have better chances as they age because of their hormones changing.

Sorry, but what you said is why so many young and women in their early 30's panic, like Melanie did, and yet, even though Melanie was a young 30 year old, she still had complications with bleeding and a large child, as she didn't expect, so no, 35 doesn't mean you will immediately go from safe pregnancy to high risk, theirs a risk with all pregnancies, and that is why we have state of the art hospitals and doctors and nurses of the modern era to help us because before that, many women of all ages died, or lost their children just due to the nature itself of childbirth.

It's very frustrating, because women feel pressure because of things like this said, that if they didn't meet someone then tough luck sweetheart, you'll just have to do without that child you want. Or if she has issues, or he has issues, that you better not try after 35, because it's too risky, when in reality it's not some cliff edge that you fall off of.

Just please think before making statements like that, it's the same insensivity as Melanie uses when she talks about how easy it was for her to get pregnant after blatantly lying that she had PCOS. It really affects other women of all ages that its all hopeless for them, when it really isn't.

Just leaving this here...

Long time reader of these threads. First time commenter! I’ve watched Mel since her YouTube days and being from Skerries myself, the same age as her and an actual qualified teacher - the number of times I have literally screamed in rage over the years was many.

She talks about Skerries and calls it a ‘village’, takes pictures of the one thatched roof in the town and acts like she’s some sort of fairy in the magic countryside for her American viewers. It’s literally a town with over 10,000 people! It’s nothing different than any other town in north Dublin and her snobbery has been embarrassing to watch - you’d swear she grew up there too the way she goes on. She didn’t!

I’m the same age as her, I don’t know a single person who knows her from Skerries. I’ve seen her out twice when I’m home for Christmas and the only people I’ve ever seen her with was Thomas and Thomas’ friends and their girlfriends (some of who I would know to see). Looking quite formal, not very much friendship craic going on.

Another thing that has also annoyed me over the years was her claim of being a teacher. She did the Early Education course in DCU- something that under no circumstances means you are a teacher. It’s a fantastic course and I know loads of people who used it as a course to do before getting a teaching degree. But nope, not a teaching degree so not a ‘qualified teacher’ which I literally remember her claiming in videos numerous times.

The housing issue- Jesus wouldn’t we all love to be able to afford a bloody house! no one is more deserving than anyone else!
As someone said in a previous post she has done a full 180 from the modern feminist in her prime YouTube days to the Marriage + babies + house = life complete.

Sorry for the long one

Most people jn Ireland, especially in Dublin at the moment have a paralysing fear of not being able to pay their rent, losing their jobs and becoming homeless. Or their rent increases so much they can’t afford it even with a full time job and end up homeless.

as always, she’s fucking tone deaf to actual problems of people her own age. It’s such a ridiculous thing to say about furniture.

If they have indeed already found a house then, for me, it's the TTC situation all over again.
She has the gall to call so many things fearmongering and accuses people of wanting to scare others and make them afraid while she is doing this every single step of the way. She insinuated that it would be difficult for her to conceive, that she is "already" thirty and is having issues with her ovaries and then got pregnant on the first try. Worse still, when she uploaded about the issues of her ovary, she was already pregnant at the time.
It is amazing for her that she was able to do so, of course, but the fact that she suggested that it was going to be so difficult when she had no clue is just alarming and instilling fear in others who are in a similar age group or are in a similar situation as her.
She incessantly whined about the housing situation and suggested that even a couple disposing of one income that was six figures, plus another that is a pilot's salary could not get a mortgage for a house and was struggling. And to top it all off, they were able to live with family and not spend fortunes on rent. And yet she said that they weren't even able to secure a viewing of a house. She said that she had the downpayment for two houses saved up and they still could not get onto the property ladder. That is terrifying for those who can only dream of being able to do this.
Do not get me wrong, the situation with housing in Dublin, Ireland and all over the world is crazy at the moment and it is frustrating and scary, but she makes it out to look even worse. I am in a situation where I feel like I am in a hamster wheel and will never catch up with the housing market. Prices keep rising faster than I can ever hope to save, especially while paying rent every month. And having someone like Melanie say that with their situation it was hopeless, well that did not really help me at all with my anxiety. And that is with me knowing how she is and operates, imagine those who take her at face value.
In spite of their situation, she always suggested that they were being priced out (with considerably higher incomes than most of us dispose of) and that they would be desperately searching for months if not years on end. That they were trapped etc. etc. And it turns out that they weren't even actively looking. Now they started not even a month ago and boom they get something. Good for them. But she painted it like it was hopeless and that she's the face of the housing problem, when she was only using it for content, imo.
She makes videos, reels, posts and stories about struggles that aren't ones that she has to battle. And then she tries to pass it off as inspirational and only altruisticly wanting to help others. The only thing she does is cash in on people who relate to her supposed struggles.
Both of these topics are so sensitive for many people and so triggering. The fear of not being able to have children or the situation of trying for years without luck is heartbreaking for so many people. The fear of not being able to buy a home is also one that is more than real. Her suggesting that not even she herself and her husband with all their privilege were able to achieve these goals will for sure make people panic and be the opposite of helpful.
She is becoming more and more delusional. Like the celebrities that, at the start of the pandemic, sat in their mentions singing "Imagine" and thinking themselves inspirational and martyrs.

Well guys and gals I've never been one to knock down anyone's good news but, I'm defeated! I've been trying to conceive for a good number of months now, and there she is flashing her bump, pregnant with no issues... I'm currently lying in my bed knowing my period is about to arrive any day as we had kinda just given up this month with the baby making (I just didn't feel it after month on month of periods... Ironic I know). Mel and her non existing gynae issues, go do one will ya!
