I too find her interesting, but more in a WTF way than anything else. She piques my curiosity with her job, which she’s clearly very good at. But her sometimes condescending, entitled demeanor gets under my skin. Only to be topped off with the wild and weird ride that is her home life.

I can’t peel my eyes away. 🤣

No way are those poor kids ready for school. She. And afford to keep them in childcare another year so no excuse.

I really hope she realises just how beneficial another year of childcare and continued access to early support/interventions and exposure to the world around them will help them. Too many parents rush their children to school (the ones who are born earlier in the year) when they could do with another year at early childcare and the effects are lasting. She can bloody afford to keep them back.

I really dislike the baby talk! Her kids are 4 1/2 and have been getting speech therapy for I don’t know how long, which is great and they can speak well. So why the baby talk? Special needs or not, why can’t she speak to them in a normal manner. This whole “you don’t like it”, is so condescending and unnecessary.

Yeah I agree. I really like her (the legal stories in particular) but the way she speaks to the kids does my head in!

Totally agree on the baby talk, I pull my partner up on it with our 13-month-old. Their understanding is so much more than we can imagine. I just feel a bit sad for the children, does she play with them? Or not-hubby? No amount of speech therapy is going to help if the only proper interaction they have is with other children.
I can't imagine having a life like Fidan. So busy that she doesn't really have time for the children, or anything else really. Then feeling the need to sharing every little thing she's does. The "don't worry about it" attitude is like she's trying to convince herself.

I have concerns about her work life balance, as a mental health professional, I often see highly educated individuals prioritise their work, it becomes their identity as such, and then tit hits the fan, and they relaise deep down they're not happy, they know nothing about their family, and have zero interests in anything.

I wonder if this is a Fidan way of working or if this is the life of a partner in a law firm (does anyone on here know if this is a law firm partner problem, or a Fidan problem?)
 
She just doesn’t seem maternal at all, it’s like she’s their quirky child-free aunt rather than their mother.
It’s almost like having kids was just another box for her to tick off.

this was/is one of my family members - so excellent at what they did, they lived and breathed for the constant work successes. Has to have the best of everything for their family but with no free time to enjoy it or them. Then suffered a complete mental/nervous breakdown to the point of not being fit to work for 12 months and riddled with anxiety. So sad to witness.
 
She seems to have zero patience for the kids. Every time they ask her something about their dinner or they comment about something not being right, she gives them a rushed answer to keep them quiet. I imagine she’s even snappier with them when the camera is off and doubt she even bothers with the baby voice. I agree with others that she doesn’t seem the type to want children. Also shame that she didn’t bother to book the extras on their Disney cruise earlier as now Kara can’t have a princess makeover.
There seems to be no spontaneity in her life whatsoever. Every week is the same - long working hours during the week, her and hubby isolating from each other and then reuniting for ‘platter day’ if he isn’t on his DND binge. And then taking the kids to the mall for whatever reason at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning.
She won’t even go near hubby if their meal contained garlic. Whatever happened to toothpaste and mouthwash? Are they ever spontaneously intimate or is it dependant on what she’s cooked for dinner😭😭

She’s so narcissistic with “Mr Fidan”. Tonight she’s messed up the air fryer and says to the camera, that she doesn’t give tit, because Mr Fidan does the washing up! Such a weird relationship. Also, holy cow, that’s a ridiculous amount of salt using the “big hole people”

Yeah I feel like it has to be the cause of a lot of her behaviou and I wonder if de facto is exactly the same or just goes along with her 'Fidanisms' for a quiet life. But I just don't get why she chose to settle down and have kids if she didn't want to compromise with working hours so that she'd see the kids for more than an hour a day - that goes for de facto too as he isn't around till after 6pm either so won't see much of them. Also she seems to have very little patience with children and would rather go to an empty soft play centre than have to be around other children at the expense of her own kids who only have each other to socialise with when they're not at nursery. She is very intelligent and rich yet doesn't seem to invest any time or money in anything that would be beneficial to the twins.

“Don’t worry about it!!!!”

Well I’m not worried 😂 but I think she worries a lot!

So just caught up and her book website will be ready for presale this week. From looking at her old Facebook page (website taken down) she went on dates with 50/51 guys? I don’t think her partner ended up being anyone of these dates.

This is an old article, she seems very critical of the men so I guess her book might be interesting not that I’d pay to read it.

It just sounds cringe.... I don't want to read a 670 odd page book of her dating adventures... I'm more for a minute tiktok of a run down of a date thank you.... Although I did enjoy Bad Dates of Melbourne but that then got a bit cringe for me

Yea I ageee. A podcast or tiktoks makes more sense for 2023 than a physical book. She’s self publishing so I’d expect around $30 to $35 which is a lot.

Just what I need. How I can find my own lazy gamers defacto.

Fidan and the defacto are hardly couple goals. Trapping someone into a relationship is not something to be proud of.

Correct. Book ends before she meets him. She's said she'd have to do another to tell their story - but I wonder how much of that she'd be allowed to share if he's so private as it is?

I still don't understand after all the dating experience she has what made her settle down with him. Someone else said he didn't even want kids... and then they went through IVF so must have changed his mind. I would have thought that would've been a big enough deal breaker she would've moved on from. So why did he make the cut and the other 50 didn't?

As for the book: I'll be buying it! But, I do wish it was split into a set of 2 or 3 as she's said it will be over 600 pages. HUGE!
Comment section have said the same thing - it's just far too physically big to comfortably read!

Fidan, remember we can't buy the follow up book if we're reading the first one and we drop it on our head rendering us incapacitated. Might sue.
