Ashley James

[AllAboutTheMayhem]

Exactly. Her reality isn’t everyone else’s, so why is she so offended by theirs ?
Why is she so destabilised by other peoples experiences? Why can’t she simply “ not look” in the same way she asks others to do of her..?

I mean , if she’s struggling, she could stop filming herself / “working” .... but then... how would her ego be fed?? That’s the bottom line here, that nasty greedy narcissist ego needs a big old feed every day.

It's funny how it's okay for her to brag about no postpartum hair loss when it might be hard for other new mothers to see but when someone dares tell her she might still lose her hair her feelings are hurt? She didn't care about people's feeling while she was stroking her full hair batting her eyelids at herself in the mirror.

I'm just going to say it, she loves her son but absolutely hates being a mother, is still in denial about it and isn't coping very well at all. She has no idea what's ahead of her when travelling resumes and nightclubs reopen. She keeps reiterating her baby comes first... We know?! Who are you trying to convince Ashley?

Exactly! Also when she’s there saying how she loves the night feeds and doesn’t need much sleep and feels great from it, knowing that it’s likely a mum who hasn’t slept properly for months and is exhausted will read that. Along with her tiring breastfeeding posts, doesn’t mind saying how natural it is and insinuating that breastfeeding in this country is only bad because of how breasts are ‘hypersexualised’ nothing to do with the physical and mental effects eg tongue tie, constant demands around the clock, latching issues. She doesn’t even talk about the nutritional benefits. It’s all about her showing off her bits to be blunt. I was unsuccessful at breastfeeding and no longer feel guilt etc but I know what it’s like to be a new mum and to feel like you’ve ‘failed’. But yeah someone mention her hair and that’s it she can’t take it - it is ‘natural’ after all?!

One of my friends gave birth around the same time as Ashley and has been breastfeeding etc too and there’s not a pip out of her because she chooses to keep it a private moment between her and baby and she would be an avid story poster but she posts the odd cute pic to her private story and the rest is life as normal or just no posts at all - the usual. Another friend in our group was a huge MIC fan and loves Ashley, she doesn’t pay too much attention to her Instagram but she really liked her on the show so still follows her and actually had a conversation with Ashley about the big display of breastfeeding when we spoke about it in our group chat.
we haven’t had any trips or anything but some of us have seen our friends baby (distanced etc) and if she needed to feed the baby no one would bat an eyelid so we all agreed BF is normal there’s no need to ‘normalise’ it so that’s what she wrote to Ashley and her response was that this is her ever day life that she’s sharing so that’s just part of her life, she doesn’t make a big deal of it yet people still comment on it??? She said she doesn’t make a point of it at all or something along those lines and that 40% of women in England stop BF because of shame? And consultants are thanking her for her work in normalising it? And it’s horrible how men are in her dms sexualising her boobs? After their chat my friend now somewhat agrees with Ashley because she doesn’t agree with BF being sexualised etc (neither do I obv) but I feel like that wasn’t the point at all..that’s just an easy answer that gives her an excuse to continue and the fact that she said she doesn’t bring attention to breastfeeding just pissed me off, so many influencers/normal folk BF and they never need to show it off as much as Ashley does.. you don’t take pics on the loo but that’s you’re every day life too??

i wonder what Tommy’s family think.. I just feel sorry for him tbh, she emphasises their independence from each other so much and I’d imagine she’s quite high maintenance too..

Oh my... the contraption she’s put Alf in As if that’s suitable for a baby who’s 3 months old!!! At 3 months they should be rolling on the floor, spending short amounts of time in bouncer chairs and that’s all. I can’t believe that. It’s such irresponsible influencing.

 

[watermelon sugar]

Not to go all mumsnet but isn't 3 months a bit young for that bouncer thing? Basically a mini jumperoo the people who gifted her must be getting impatient for their ad

 

[Lala24]

Can someone tell the daft bint that her baby isn't three months yet?

 

[Gossipgurlll5]

Can someone tell the daft bint that her baby isn't three months yet?

And if you google the product there’s discrepancies on the age use, one section says 6-24+ months and another says 3-24+ months but the safety section says a baby who’s completely able to support their head while moving too!
she posts saying please stop growing but she seems mad to rush him through stages

 

[Raa]

In my opinion the floor is enough let him kick around and stretch out, put him on his tummy see how he gets on, play with him. Why she’s rushed him into a bouncer I don’t know

Definitely, just rushing things, what will he have by the time he is that age the start of the video looks like Tommy is holding his head up but he let's go? Can't tell

 

[Lreb88]

He’s definitely too young for that jumperoo, but no point in anyone dropping her a friendly message to tell her as she absolutely won’t want to hear it. She knows everything after all.

First time mums always rush things

 

[Lurker121]

I’m quite glad I’m not the only one thinking he’s too young for that jumperoo thing. My baby is four and a half months and not ready for anything like this quite yet.

 

[Paulaj]

Just checked the price for the baby bouncer - £299 for the cheaper option, £399 for the other. I mean are you for real?? And no Ashley, I am not jealous. If I wanted to buy one I could have done. For something you’re only supposed to use from 6months + for short periods of time, it’s absolutely ridiculously overpriced.I choose a noisy Fischer Pricee jumperoo over that any day! Both of my Kew have stokke high chairs....but those can actually be used from birth up to teen years.

 

[Smellis]

That’s the ugliest jumperoo I’ve ever seen. Why do people put them in these ‘aesthetically pleasing’ toys ... your living room has the fisher price one in it for like what? 6-9 months at the MOST. Can you really not cope for that long for your own babies enjoyment?
(Before even mentioning the safety of it)

 

[Katiewoo101]

The story of Tommy pulling Alfie up by his arms makes me shudder!

 

[Ss-ldn]

The amount of free (expensive) baby kit she has been sent is just obscene. £1140 crib that she wasn’t even using properly.
So many stories tonight with all of the cleavage on show - WE GET IT, YOU’RE A BREASTFEEDING MUM but honestly, put ‘em away when you’ve just storied to say your baby is asleep

 

[AllAboutTheMayhem]

No chance of her ever putting them away. It’s nauseating.

 

[Katiewoo101]

Of course she’s rehomed the cat!

 

[GiftedNotFree]

Of course she’s rehomed the cat!

She’s truly The Worst. She can duck herself, self obsessed twit.

 

[Lreb88]

It was on the cards for a long time wasn’t it! Poor thing. Hopefully she will go to a lovely home who don’t give up on her if/when things get a bit difficult. I can’t imagine giving my cat away, there is always something you can do with time and patience.
