Bex Wolfnsunflowers #8 And we have grift off!

[Shimmering]

I feel really sad for the children of these grifters, who are being raised by people who live in a fantasy social media world, receiving worthless validation from strangers for their bad life choices.

I know the world isn't perfect. I know I'm very far from perfect but I do my best raising my children and to me, sending them to school is crucially important so that they benefit from the amazing free education that is on offer in this country that we take for granted.

I know it isn't perfect. But I have seen my children benefit enormously from it, and avail of opportunities to grow, develop, and contribute that I could never ever offer them because my partner and I are both busy working full time in the public sector for the benefit of society. I am so grateful to the teachers and to the system that we have that does give children the opportunity to learn and develop, gain qualifications, etc.

A teacher at school had a huge influence on me as they genuinely cared and supported me when I was going through a tough adolescence. They are still teaching now and i feel so happy that someone like that is in charge of children's education. This teacher didn't ever get involved in what was happening for me outside school, but instinctively put in place the right support that allowed me to get through my alevels and go on to university. They knew what was required and they believed in me, that I would get past the bumps in the road and make it, that I was worth time and effort and a bit of care. That's absolutely transformative when it happens outside the family.

I genuinely feel and believe that school is a hugely beneficial place, especially for kids growing up in disadvantage. It offers a pathway to a better life. There are nurturing environments out there if you are lucky. My children are at a school that prioritises developing the whole character over being an exam factory and it shows.

I'm not against home Ed, but the people I've met who do it tend to be wealthy and very well educated. Their children will not suffer any setbacks due to the home ed choice as they will be cushioned by their socioeconomic privilege.

On the other hand, I know one child who was taken out of school during the pandemic and never returned. His mum has always let him have unlimited access to gaming etc. When he was at summer schemes, after school clubs, etc, he always had his ipad. Now he presumably has unlimited access all day long. I'm sure he is very happy right now, but I'm also sure his future is fucked. Hopefully I am wrong.

Bringing up children is about providing what they need, not always just what they want. You have to prepare them for life and give them the tools to succeed.

Sorry for the ramble, feeling philosophical tonight and wanted to share.

I think she might be on to something. If only there were some kind of place children could go to to be with their peers and learn from them

People like Bex make a total mockery of mental health, disabilities and neurological disorders. It is so difficult to be taken seriously when you have dickheads like her collecting diagnoses like Pokemon cards just so she can get the dole.

Yes threatening to sue the doctor is totally normal behaviour and definitely not something a drug seeker would do.

Why does she always have to use such derogatory language about herself? Instead of soup slut, can she not be a soup saint or something? I'm not being a prude but I don't think it's empowering of women to use misogynistic terminology. It's not claiming anything back and it's not stopping some men from talking about us in that way. In fact it just plays into their twisted perception of women, especially the incel types. It's not nice for children to know their mother was referred to like that either and even as an adult it can be traumatising to find that out about a mother.

This all day. It grinds my gears as it really isn't the same as some of the other reclaiming of language stuff as it's so extra pervasive and every fucking day. I sort of understand sex workers wanting to reclaim it but at the same time, it's still so harmful for the rest of us. It literally seeps into every fucking thing we do. Online dating a lot? Slut. Wearing a short skirt? Slut. Flirting with a younger fella? Old slut (extra ageism points). Got a new snazzy sexy hairdo? Get back in your box, slut. Single mum with a new partner? Slut. Had more than three partners? Slut. Slut. Slut.

I kind of understand it. If you're a sex worker, you are absolutely not a slut (but then, on the other hand, some/many make dollar from it? Non sex-workers don't choose this and that's a whole new discussion). However, the word, to me, isn't ready to be reclaimed for all of us and it makes me really uncomfortable. I'm sure it was attempted a while ago and a cursory google doesn't bring much up of late, bar an article that points out how reclaiming the word doesn't consider intersectional feminism.

ETA I just caught up on her tweets (no doubt comprised after Isa's excellent post and I just cannot with the hot take on porn). It has ONLY JUST come to your attention that women are exploited and, in some cases, drugged and essentially raped? Give me fucking strength and put that ridiculous performative 'feminist' pin badge in the bin, child. I'm not going to eloborate on my own opinions on even your own special brand of 'safe' pornography and the damage I've seen it do to young girls by way of how accessible it is to young boys. Get in the bin.

 

[Wooh]

Come on folk - this is clearly bollox…and for once, shows Bex has some remarkable (if somewhat unacknowledged) self awareness. Her very existence is entirely a mission for attention. This is why she has become “CarCrashGirl”TM - she is going to be revelling in it for years now.

She is one of the most attention seeking people I have ever come across. You just KNOW she is the one that has every single “look at me” strategy under her belt. For example - her regular ‘fainting’ shite is probably one of her aces up her sleeve. Her many vague and “invisible” illnesses. Her insistence on being the most chronically traumatised and sexually abused human on the planet. Her “We need to talk about…” threads - desperate to go viral again. Her insistence her kid was Trans until he became brave enough/old enough to speak out and ask to be a boy and have his hir cut - so she could be the right on trend mummy to a NB kid. There will be a ton of other examples…it’s all about the Bex Show. Everything.

I was in Tescos today looking at the dates on packs of bacon. Someone came up behind me to grab something from the same fridge and ended up brushing against my backside. I wasn't expecting it at all and let out a little fart in surprise. They definitely felt it.

I 100% blame the accident for this

Whatever else, she has been massively economic with the truth on her PIP forms if she's getting enhanced rate care.

The "I need someone with me" schtick is to try and get standard mobility maxed to enhanced so she gets Motability.

Not knocking Motability, we have a Motability vehicle for my son who genuinely cannot make a journey alone (although we are working on this).
My proudest day will be when we hand the car back as it will mean he can finally plan and carry out journeys alone and with confidence.

The annoying things is that I am currently working with a lady who has had massive trauma in her life and cannot leave her home, she really does need enhanced rate daily living as she is reliant on people around her for stuff like shopping, hospital appointments, clothing, and therapy.
Unlike Bex she can genuinely say "I cannot make a journey alone", and you wont find her aquaplaning off a road doing an unfamiliar journey with only an 8yr old for company.

Honorary mention for rodent boy’s impeccably presented “egg curry”.

Good grief.

For those of you interested in fine art, I have created a work depicting the aftermath of the car crash. It's available in my "Grifters," Etsy shop

Spoiler: A heartbreaking work of incredible genius

I'm not Bex because when I go off to Ireland for a public shag, I put my dildos and cattle prods in checked luggage, not cabin bags.

 

[People-huv-tae-know]

It's crazy isn't it? My children didn't have disabilities, and there is literally no way ever would I be happy with them being up for hours while I was in bed when they were small.
Btw she's still wanging on about here on twitter but I genuinely can't be arsed to screenshot them. It's just lots more of the same. We're all sad, jealous and obsessed.
Oh and she's going on about her holidays for some reason

Three short breaks you cunt? Do you know how many parents have to beg for respite breaks for their severely disabled children? You know, the ones who have the highest care needs and can't be left alone?

Vasovagal syncope is just the fancy medical term for fainting. It's not a 'condition' or some kind of special illness.

It's like stubbing your big toe and saying you've got an extensive hematoma on your hallux due to blunt force trauma.

When you get to the stage where grifting and oversharing come so naturally that you're asking strangers on the internet to buy you incontinence pants, it's time to take a long, hard look at your life.

I had some back issues a while ago and had a couple of surgeries and months of physio. Even on my worst days I made it a priority to visit an aquarium.

 

[Hold my beans]

Yep, slowly but surely fully morphing into JM, who I recall takes on her own mother's ailments. What is this? Personality disorder? Some sort of Munchausen's by PIP? It's baffling.

Munchausen's by PIP would make a great thread title
