Thank god someone mentioned the Ann Summers thing because I knew there was something contradictory she’d done! You cannot complain that people sexualise breastfeeding (which I’ve never come across tbh) and then do an ad for breastfeeding lingerie, she’s the one who made it a sexual thing and included her baby in her ad??? She does know he’s not an accessory to bring to work and there’s a reason babies don’t belong in the work place right? If I had a baby I wouldn’t want to bring it to work for safety concerns in my job! She’s honestly on another planet.
And then her sharing those tweets, notice how she only highlights the supportive ones and the extra negative ones? She completely ignores the ones that are coherently expressing a rational opinion that disagrees with hers. No one said don’t BF, but why was Alf with her if Tommy went with her? Why wasn’t Alf in the green room with Tommy? Why wasn’t he fed before she went on stage? Or why wasn’t Tommy feeding him backstage from a cup or solid foods? She spins the whole narrative to suit her agenda like ‘oh am I supposed to let my baby starve?!’ No one is suggesting that. But other mothers who have to leave their child to work have managed. She’s self employed and more or less works from home, what is she complaining about? She said she had no maternity leave, but not trying to be rude, she doesn’t work enough hours?? She works on her own schedule online doing posts and the occasional night DJing, what did she expect? And her work that she does from home could be done at any time when Tommy is home, her doula is there or her parents or when Alf is asleep? I honestly don’t get what she’s complaining for?
If I had a baby right now, I’d be living in cramped conditions and I’d HAVE to go back to my physical job but I chose this lifestyle so you’d make it work. She can make money from her couch if she has to with her child in the next room, that’s a privilege so many do not have and she thinks she’s hard done by??
