She'd get the shock of her life if she took A&A to any groups and realised "those mum's" that she's so dismissive of are more than likely educated, professional women who probably work full time but condense hours to take kids to activities, reduced hours/given up work because their partners are high earners or financially it didn't make sense for them to return etc. She'd be humbled that she's not actually anything special, her life is average and she's a shit amateur mum.

*Opens the door to the inside of Ashley’s head and looks round*
There’s pink. There’s a LOT of pink. And so many mirrors -! On one wall, beneath a sign saying ‘Masculine Energy’, there are rows of hard hats covered in sequins and glitter, a judge’s wig dusted with flamingo colours, and a picture of Margaret Thatcher in a tank.
On another wall is the word ‘Mum’ in beige on a beige background. Someone has drawn a line through it.
Prams everywhere. Prams, and bras.
Eighty thousand photos of Ashley. Blackboards with All About Ashley written on them. PowerPoints. Overhead projectors. Cinema screens. I’m sensing a theme.
*Starts to retreat, then sticks head back in*
’Can I ask you a question, Ashley?’ (She pouts at her phone, cuts the entangled AirWrap out of her hair, and ignores me.) ‘About you?’ (Perks up.) ‘Where are your friends? Like, your like pyjama distance friends? Because you moved one down here as your babysitter and have been alone the rest of the time, drinking tea on your lawn while your kid snores abandoned in the street.’
*Ashley raises her head slowly from a pot of Elmlea and glares*

Fucking hell what did she NOT spend her childhood doing?! We have car boot sales, living on a dairy farm, being a teenage chambermaid, living above a pub, walking around Hadrian’s wall with her cat, win a scholarship to boarding school, all while finding time to be sexualised by the patriarchy and get bullied for having average sized boobs Amazing.

Why doesn’t she ask all her friends that live in London, that she moved specifically to be near, what they do with their kids? Oh.
I’ve seen better interactions between my son and complete strangers in shops or restaurants than I just saw between Alf and his own Mum. She has clear disdain for motherhood.
The BS about having it all - the point you’re missing Ash is that most people actually WANT it all and struggle to balance it being a parent, working, a daughter/friend, a member of their community. I am coasting in a job which I enjoy and gives me good balance to be around with my toddler - I feel like I have it all some days in the sense that I’m able to work and pay the bills but it isn’t hugely challenging or aspirational in career terms so I guess I don’t “have it all”. If I switched to a “better” job, I wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with my child and would need to utilise childcare and see him a fraction of the time - again for me, that isn’t “having it all”. You can’t be in two places at once so I think with young children you have to accept that “all” will look different at different times. For me I take the view of - at the end of my life, will I have had it all? Not, can I have it all all the time?
The lucky amongst us feel ok about parenthood if they’ve chosen it, understand sacrifices have to be made and know time flies with young kids and they are to be enjoyed (and believe me Ash, get to know those kids, there is SO much enjoyment to actually be had!).
It’s so clear from the way she is that she really thinks kids are a box you tick to say you’ve got them; you’ve achieved that milestone and you’ve rinsed the early days of motherhood for as much content as you can. Absolutely nobody is looking at that video of you interacting with your 3yo thinking wow, she was on TM yesterday and here she is also smashing life as a Mum. You don’t have it all. You don’t have to balance much because you don’t want to be a Mum!! You want the bits that make you look good and none of the hard stuff, so you palm them off at every opportunity. She has few friends, doesn’t see much of her family, she doesn’t seem to do an awful lot more than the bare minimum (if that) in her relationship, her only priority is herself, her “work” which is essentially focused on doing anything that makes her look good and involves a lot of fannying about staring at herself and/or her phone. That isn’t having it all Ash, it’s having exactly what you want in your shallow narcissistic little bubble all at the cost of two sweet children.

A wonderful post by an Irish Dr that advocates for children’s privacy on social media. This will be Alf & Ada in the future.

Honestly the nerve of her standing there holding up her too big shorts like a weight loss ad and saying “the weight fell off me and I did nothing! It will for you too!!” Uhh…no. That’s not actually how it works. Does she honestly think diet culture and the weight loss industry would have such a hold on postpartum women if bodies naturally returned to pre-baby size? Thanks for promoting bounce back culture though Ash.
Do you know what would be better? Just buy some new shorts and STFU. No one needs to see this. You just want to brag. You are perpetuating the exact thing you claim to be against.

‘I love this cosy room with our giant tv’
ie the room is poky in comparison to what you had before and the tv looks frankly ridiculous in it but you tell yourself whatever you need to Ash

Right she’s moved to an area that is very good friendly with a range of classes and activities on her literal doorstep (the MyGym down the road or kid’s gym tumble sessions above Sainsbury’s Southside would really be great for Alf for a start) bloody ten a penny music sessions all over the shop every day of the week and ages basically says she can’t be fucked to do any of it because it’s not really her. They last for 45 minutes tops Ash! Selfish witch! What is the actual point?!
I mean did I enjoy drinking piss weak coffee in a church hall playgroup this morning singing My God is so Mighty?! No I did not particularly but my son loves it and it’s great for socialisation and playing with toys we don’t have at home. She cannot do a SINGLE thing that benefits the kids over her in any way. She really should never have had children.

She chats so much shit.
Who is she talking to that is stereotyping mums in the way she talks about? I have literally never come across anybody in my 30 years of life that has talked about women and mums in the way she does. What's this "masculine career" bollocks she's spouting
I'm really happy that I'm on a successful career path AND ALSO get to spend maternity leave going to baby massage classes and spending time with my child. WE CAN DO BOTH, ASHLEY. nobody has EVER made me feel like can't?

So in the first story she says she went back to work when AD was 6 months old, this one (minutes later) she says she didn’t take maternity?! Make it make sense!!
Also, she wasn’t a lockdown mum. My eldest is a couple months younger than Alf and we went to loads of baby groups, she said at the time that she went to a couple and didn’t like it because she wasn’t one of THOSE mums, whatever that means.
