spot on. Connie‘s woe is me act is tiring. She can just lie on the couch all day whereas other parents have to deal with teething and then get off to work in the morning. She really irritates me. Also losing the comforter thing, not great. But to go on about how guilty she feels, it’s ridiculous. what kind of resilience does that show? Macie is so young im sure she will get over the comforter if she bought a similar one.I don’t know what she expects the drs to do? If it’s not teething it’s at worst case something viral and they can’t do anything for that anyway! She’s making a huge deal of something so minor , she’s lucky she can just ‘take a day away from her phone’ And not have to organise childcare last minute Bcos the nursery won’t take them, or take a last minute days annual leave
yep I bet she’s out and about spreading her germs everywhere.Surely her mum (nanny, cleaner) Is helping out here.
I see Brads current gf is not posting, clearly hawking around the place.
It’s absolutely ridiculous! Macie isn’t ill, she is teething! Connie should think herself lucky that she doesn’t have a full time job and a house of her own to sort out everyday!! Motherhood shouldn’t be viewed as a sacrifice- there are millions of women who are unable to have children and I can’t imagine the unbearable sadness for them especially when people don’t care for their children or complain about them. Motherhood is a blessing and yes it can be hard but should never be labelled as a sacrifice or chore!Nothing compares to the sacrifice of a mother?? What on earth is she on about?
totally agree and you have summed this up so nicely. I think Connie is struggling with identity and confidence since having Macie and therefore she thinks she has made a sacrifice... but that is not everyone’s experience and not how having children should be seen.It’s absolutely ridiculous!

In my opinion, it’s akin to telling a child that they were an accident or unwanted. It makes me sad because I know of so many parents who have no social life, little money and take jobs that they are overqualified for all in order to provide for their children. I’ve never once heard it called a sacrifice- it’s what you do to care for your children and everyone I know sees their child as a gift to be cherished. Connie wouldn’t last 5 minutes if she had to work full time and care for children.totally agree and you have summed this up so nicely.

Will be nice for Macie to grow up and read that her mother thinks she made a sacrifice to have her
that’s certainty not how my mum makes me feel and she probably made tougher choices than Connie has ever had to (I.e having to work part time in the evening so she could care for me and my sister in the day when my dad was at work)
100%. I can understand people saying I made a sacrifice to my career or something when referring to having kids but not motherhood itself being a sacrifice. I agree it sounds like you didn’t want the child. She wants to come over as some authority or guru on motherhood but she hasn’t got a clue or any experience nor has she had to make tough choices in reality compared to a lot of people. She would benefit with logging off the internet for a long while.In my opinion, it’s akin to telling a child that they were an accident or unwanted.

Totally agree. I think she needs to spend time around the rest of us to see how difficult life can really be. I take my hat off to people who work full time whilst juggling a load of kids and don’t complain because it must be so hard for them not to mention the cost of food, clothing, toys and childcare etc! On a side note, I clocked the story about the return of Bun Bun- as predicted, Macie didn’t even know the difference and seemed perfectly fine beforehand!100%.

Or my child has a weight problem, am sure letting her have two massive ice lollies each time had nothing to do with it.....she’s almost setting her up for a life of instagram content and motivational quotesStory prediction 2 years time. “So the dentist #ad said Macie needs a filling, I just can’t understand it”
