It's insane that he sleeps for a minimum of 16 hours a day, she gets 9 hours sleep with only 2 feeds, and she can't even tidy up a small flat. It momentarily made me nervous about having more children now that I have a much larger home, gardens and others to care for, as I was in a 2 bed flat as a younger healthier first time mum. I wondered, if she finds it so hard how will I manage with my health issues and pain, working, parenting, the home and pets on top of a new baby. But then I remember she's ridiculous, so hopefully I'll manage.

This seems like a very niche video for a best friend of someone becoming a single mum. Bryony seems to want people to be falling at her feet to take Oryn off her hands, and doesn’t make any mention that most parents wouldn’t want a random childless friend turning up and taking their baby away for hours. I am probably more paranoid than most because of my line of work, but anyone except my closest friend turning up and wanting to change my child’s nappy or take my young baby out alone would set alarm bells off. Absolutely come and socialise with a new parent, but minding the baby and cleaning their house is for partners, grandparents, aunties/uncles and best friends.
Completely agree with everything you've both said. I feel like if you are good enough friends with someone to TAKE THEIR BABY, you are good enough friends to have a conversation with your friend having the baby BEFORE THEY'VE HAD THE BABY about how you are going to support them when they've had the baby and they won't need to "send you a video". Get in the bin. Also absolutely completely noticed the only example she actually gave of supporting a new mum WAS TAKING THE BABY OUT not cleaning the bathroom.
I don’t have kids yet but I follow a handful of parenting influencers and Bryony’s newest video is mostly verbatim of Instagram infographic advice I’ve seen knocking around. Like ‘’don’t show up unannounced’’ ‘’let the mum hold the baby, practical help is best’’ etc etc. I think it’s well intentioned and I keep it in mind when meeting up with friends with babies. I’m ofc not cleaning anyone’s bathroom lol but the main sentiment is take initiative to help and be mindful of not creating more stress/burden. Bryony claimed it as her original content, somehow missed the core sentiment and took it in an absurd direction because she is so painfully out of touch.
The awkward truth for her is that she didn’t actually have any friends before Oryn was conceived. I recall her spending time with other foster carers a few years ago but I’d be surprised if they were still in touch. I just find it strange this whole video is framed as if it’s from lived experience of long term friendships changing eg. ‘friend groups being split’ when babies are born. What? She is on record multiple times between the ages of 15-25 saying she doesn’t have close friends and doesn’t stay in touch with girls from dance/school unless her mother arranges it. I remember vividly that she didn’t invite any guests to the gender revealinfanticide meltdown party, so her mum invited them for her as a surprise. Are we supposed to believe these people were cleaning her bathroom or taking her baby out for the day? Is she doing that for anyone? I feel quite sorry for her in a way. She seems very smug with her new found smbc friendships and I hope they last, but she’s frankly not being honest about her actual life here, and she’s regurgitated online discourse like it’s her own lived experience once again.
She is sneaky with language when she’s mimicking instagram posts because she never outright claims it’s her own experience, just insinuates it is. For example ‘’often we find our friendships break down’’ or ‘’new parents may find it hard to go out to bars or restaurants’. It gives her a really unsettling tone of authority on experiences that are blatantly irrelevant to her life. This video is such a good example.

Her only 'friends' were the children of her mum's NCT friends, and her mum set them up on play dates well into her 20s. It's pathetic that she thinks she has friends just because she bought them.
Is anyone else baffled at how she qualifies for benefits? I'm sure she has more than the savings limit and her parents will have squirrelled it away for her.
I know i comment on it everytime but 
...im sooooo glad poor, hard done to, exhausted Briony has another holiday booked with her parents. 3 of them entertain a baby on the plane and shes already griping about it. I wonder how many days she'll have to spend holed up in the holiday room "recovering" from the trauma of close contact parenting for the duration of the flight.
I wanted to reply to her insta story question and say "stick a screen infront of him, it's what you usually do"

She makes me so mad
Bryomy… the second you bought a vial of sperm as a commodity you lost the right to discuss the role of fathers. You don’t get to talk tit about dads. Oryn doesn’t have one and you don’t even know any men.
And I say this as a rad fem lesbian. I. But the feminist bio-political hot takes you’re reposting are not about you or your life. Shut up.
Bryony Farmer 3: Hampton’s finest faux-feminist know-it-all virgin
As a fellow feminist, I don't think it's possible to understate the importance of having positive male role models in the lives of children of all genders. It doesn't have to be a father, nor does it necessarily have to be a father-like figure but I really worry about Oryn growing up without any positive male figures in his life.
Bryony's feminist takes are hilarious when she herself is the last person that they refer to. She's not slaving away doing 40 hours a week and then doing all or most of the childcare and housework while her partner sits on his arse, she sleeps 9 hours a day, ignores her one childcare commitment most of the time and collecting benefits while she palms her son off on her parents (who paid for him in the first place) and occasionally posts on the internet. Being a mother is an incredibly worthy pursuit and I would class it as a job, but Bryony does very little actual mothering.
Two issues of note in today’s video. Bryony still has to do her own washing up and considers this to be an incredible imposition on her Netflix watching time. I weep for her.
She has been applying for jobs! Well only kind of. She saw a job she liked and applied thinking she do well (three stage selection process). But she didn’t get through the first round. Was gutted but has decided to share it with us plebs as the idea that you wouldn’t get the first job you ever applied for has surely never occurred to her audience. (Who is she addressing, 12 year old girls waiting for their periods to start?)
If the job hunting is going to become an ongoing saga then I am here for it. She’s apparently got to dip into her savings to fund some of her 6+ holidays a year so the wolves are practically at the door!
Love how she is oblivious to the fact that most recruiting is done by outside companies given criteria like:
Must have relevant degree
Must have 2+ years experience in the field
Must be able to work full time.
And anyone who can’t meet that has their cv put straight in the bin. She only wants a job for 2 days a week. What exactly is she qualified to do again?

The fact she expected to make it through the selection process when she doesn’t even have a GCSE to her name is absolutely wild to me, but hopefully might give her a dose of reality. Employers don’t care if you were an “unconventional child” if you are an uneducated, unemployable hypochondriac who has no evidenced skillset and any employer who searches her name will also find this thread and all her previous controversies. I would pay to see her application, especially if her poetry is her standard of writing.
Guys she’s applying for jobs, learning French, and had the stamina to leave the house AND do the dishes in the most recent vlog. Who is this?
I would put money on Ma’maa writing the CV and cover letter. Apparently Bryony has dyslexia and obviously has never applied to a job before. Imagine being the employer, reading what is essentially ‘no experience and no education’ in the tone of a 70 year old writing on behalf of her wonder child. Sounded like a corporate comms job, maybe content creation for a charity or something. Apparently her skills are in social media… she says as a failing influencer whose only recent success has come from her asexual aristocrat pregnancy story. Does she not realise other applicants would have degrees in this stuff? And years of reputable employment? And networks and connections?
I really did chuckle at the fanciful thinking she could raise Oryn bilingual when she blatantly has no second language, struggles with her first and has no meaningful multicultural connections
… why must she think herself an expert at everything WHY??? Either learning a second language or raising a kid with 2 is more work than she’s ever put into anything. I’m entirely serious lol.
All I really want from her is some humility and self reflection. Surely when she’s in bed at night the thoughts must cross her mind like ‘’what have I done? 26 with no job, no close friends, my kid has no other family, I’ve monetised his existence and hate being around him. Things have to change’’. I’d love to see even a fraction of that reflected in videos.
