I don’t even think most people know their decisions are right for their family, I think most people are winging it to an extent with the very best of intentions and would gladly admit that. But what they do is do it with love, honesty dare I say authenticity. The most unauthentic people are always the ones who tell you they’re authentic without it ever being brought up in the first place.
Ashley isn’t a normal mother, she’s a professional mother, nobody will ever convince me that she didn’t get pregnant because of the pandemic, I honestly think she did it because she didn’t know how else to stay relevant in an uncertain world. It was a career choice for her, in my mind. That’s why she’s so tilted and unnatural with it, and it’s why she won’t ever admit to winging it, to being wrong and making mistakes. She’s so defensive because really she playing the part of a mother for her brand. That’s the saddest part.
When she says she went back to work after 5 days, it’s completely wrong. The minute she announced her pregnancy she changed her career. Look at her socials, she became a pregnancy then mummy influencer instantly. That was the plan.
