I wish they would just be honest. I did a home visit at 2.15pm yesterday afternoon to a mum with 7 month old twin boys. She was in 2 day old pj’s and had 2 day old make up on. She was also crying and at her wits end as the boys wouldn’t settle. I sent her for a coffee and a shower, whilst I watched the boys. When she came back down, I asked her what abc happened, as she is usually quite calm and collected. She said she had, had a tough few days with the boys and felt like she was failing, constantly. She follows many mummy bloggers on Instagram and was confused about why her life didn’t look that perfect, and why she couldn’t shower and change let alone her out of the house by 10am. Yesterday had tipped her over the edge when one had posted about her twins sleeping through from 6pm - 7am, when her boys just don’t sleep more than 2 hours at a time!
I really had to explain that SM was a dangerous place to be, when you are struggling, none of these women lead a perfect life and have all their
tit together, they just like to give the perception that they do. They will never admit that they struggle and when they try to look relatable, they all fail miserably as you can see it’s all staged.
She sat and blocked them all
as she realised that this was seriously impacting on her already fragile, mental health. I so want these so called influencers to crash and burn this year, it’s bad enough they sell their own children to the devil, but the impact it is having on society as a whole, is worrying!
