All of this.This is it. If she was sooo into being a mum and appeared to visibly enjoy that role then whatever (still not a career), but she seems to have chosen this life because it enables her to do duck all while somebody else foots the bill. She’s constantly in new clothes while shoving her kid into conveniently sized hand me downs. She goes on about yay she’s a football widow because she can drink wine and do some online shopping, she’s not like ‘woohoo I get quality time with my children’. All of her insta shots are her sitting on the sofa watching the kids do something. Even the other day when Ivy kept hitting her in the face with a toy, she filmed it for Instagram while rolling her eyes and not engaging with her.
Same with how she can’t even drive- sure whatever if she was knocking about getting on buses and being independent, but she just sits in the passenger seat of CM’s beemer, waiting outside Wetherspoons and doesn’t go anywhere without him. She is literally in the passenger seat of his life. It’s like she’s a half person and all she can do is sit in the shadow of whichever man most recently impregnated her. Her life is really really sad.
I also wish somebody would take the bleeping boomerang feature away from her.
I totally forgot about the inability to drive. Not driving in itself isn't the issue, but I don't know many (if any) "hands on" stay at home parents who don't drive. They drive because it gives them the ability to do things with the children they are staying at home with. The few I know who don't drive actively use public transport as a means to an end too.
She has no desire to drive, no desire to go out in public, no desire to do anything with her life.
