I mean I think some would agree if you’re close enough to visit someone in their home after them having a baby you’d must be relatively close? And I’d always offer to do something anyway I.e. get some shopping or hold the baby whilst they shower.
I agree that I’d offer to help, but holding the baby while they get dressed is different to being asked to clean their loos!

What a wick, your close family and friends will ask if there’s anything they can do whilst visiting, if they didn’t bring a cooked meal with them for you etc......hold the baby grab stuff on the way over.
But to have a list? Just WOW!!!!!
Maybe I’m a martyr and just powered through getting on and resting where possible following babies lead as to what my routine would be 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah when I had a baby I could have maybe done with the visitor making me a drink or snack or entertaining baby whilst I had a wash but I wouldn’t have got them doing my household chores 🤣. They are visiting to see the baby and you not to do housework.

she’s a very very interesting character…She was a good friend but it all turned quite suddenly for no apparent reason. She doesn’t seem to have any friends from growing up or from school or teenage years and I can see why.
she does always want people around her to be happy which is a nice trait but she is A LOT
Oh my god. I can relate to this absolutely. I experienced the same thing. I really want to know who you are now hahaha!

I personally think this speaks volumes about her as a person. If my best friends needed help around the house after giving birth, I would ask for them to give me a list and I absolutely would do all the gross jobs because I know how much of a difference it makes once they’re done. BUT to make a list before your friends even offer is gross. You just know she’ll hand it over with a big duck off grin and a loud laugh. Probably post it on her stories too.

So she goes to Brighton and pulls her jeans down to her ankles and stands there? She really is something else! Utter twit!

I actually think her behaviour is weird.... if you saw someone doing this on the beach would you not think they were a little crazy? I know she loves to be ‘zaney’ but actually she is just strange!!

I remember she shared something a while ago that made us think it would be Ray or Rae or maybe Rey

I used to quite like her, and her message. I empathised with her disordered body and food relationship, and admired her (ostensibly) brave public weight gain and criticism of the prevailing female beauty standards. Many of us have been through it.

I appreciate that putting oneself out there will inevitably bring antagonists and naysayers... BUT, it is rather frustrating/upsetting that those who wish to peddle an inclusive leftist sort of social vision i.e. body positivity or feminism ( or the nitty gritty aspects of the biological aspects of those with uteruses etc.), they feel that they have to do it in this sort of shocking/frenzied or eccentric way. It is perfectly possible to be fairly subdued and yet not fit the standard. Being plain and yet cynical of the status quo are not mutually exclusive states. It is just sad that it seems to be an either-or with these people. It almost alienates those which they hope to 'convert', so to speak.

I understand that she may have become a bit lost in the cause that she was championing but by gosh... she has definitely taken a confusing turn.
I am aware that I do not have to follow her (I don't, she is no longer for me), but I did want to air my frustrations out.. it is just really annoying that the message at the crux of a lot of these pages gets muddled up in the desire to be seen as a beacon of positivity and acceptance. They literally do the opposite and stifle the good growth that had been started at their inception.
