Hannah Witton #2

[whataboutit]

New vlognukah video about taking on too much for vlognukah.. it doesn’t really seem to be paying off in the views.

I’m not a parent or TTC or anything so please don’t take this the wrong way, but isn’t the heavy emphasis on “when I get pregnant”, “I just want to get pregnant so the decision is made for me” a bit of an unhealthy way of looking at things? Surely you can’t live your life like that…?

She has an unhealthy mindset to a lot of things, eventually she will have to move on and change her mind set but Hannah currently seems fixated on this next child (which I get) as it must be hard but she’s missing out on appreciating what she has in front of her

 

[takeyourwingsoutside]

Is she going to make any content that isn't about being pregnant? I wonder how the coaching is going and what her plan is for sustaining that side of her "portfolio" (feels generous to call it that)

I think I understand some of Hannah's pickiness. She mentions some recipes having too much big chunky veg for her to want to eat it. Some of that might be stoma related but it seems some of it is preference too. I am really similar. I can't handle too much veg or even fruit especially if it's chunky. I feel myself gagging as I swallow and I struggle to get it down. But I was raised vegetarian and now as an adult I just make sure to cook and eat the vegetables I can stomach while I'm at home and when I go out I just make sure there are vegetarian options around or settle for an egg sandwich or bag of crisps. I think Hannah is used to having lots of options but some planning could have helped her. And if she likes meat substitutes then she should eat them, and the vegetables she can handle. Why order pre made or half prepped meals if you're picky, and then complain that vegetarianism is the issue or you aren't built for it? Maybe just organise yourself and set aside time to cook meals you like.

I still don't understand why not being able to have another baby would be "devastating" when she already has one

I'm more shocked about how candidly she talked about this possibility. Tucked between "i'm a small business owner" and forced hospital selfies. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely her right to talk about her health, just the presentation of it all is so weird?

I’m sorry … they have a cleaner coming to that tiny flat WEEKLY ?!

What the fuck Hannah, you work 20hrs a week and you can’t manage to keep your two bedroom flat clean yourselves? That is wild

I haven't watched her content in ages, but is this more of a thing to give some of the 'women's' household chores to someone else rather than Hannah taking on more than she sees as equal? Because, yeah. When I had a small flat it would take me about two hours a week to do a full clean down, not worth outsourcing that.

 

[friendlyfire]

I’m fairly new to her channel and found her through Leena Norms so not overly sure what her general content is. I watch a lot of book content so always happy when she focuses on that but I understand she is more of a general lifestyle blogger?

i'm not sure if hannah even knows !

I’m sorry … they have a cleaner coming to that tiny flat WEEKLY ?!

What the fuck Hannah, you work 20hrs a week yet you can’t manage to keep your two bedroom flat clean yourselves? That is wild

i can't see crusty old Dan doing anything that resembles cleaning tbh

 

[cheesemonger]

Why is she not spending more time with her kid then?

 

[sunniva]

The thing is she's not that isolated though is she? She has a partner who lives with her, the father of her children who co parents, she seems to endlessly be seeing friends, she just seems unhappy with it anyway. I think that's the reason for choosing medicine, always reaching for other things for validation thinking "when I have this, I'll be happy" when that's not how life works. She needs to be in therapy and work on herself imo

Yes think that’s def a part of it. ‘‘When I have next baby; when I move to Manchester, when I have more clients’’ etc. … even the whole fixation on her clothes and ‘’finding my style’’ or ‘’optimising storage in our tiny flat’’ schtick. I find it particularly frustrating that she tries to girlboss through every aspect of her life she’s clearly unhappy with.

But as for actual loneliness/isolation, I do think there’s a bit of this. She definitely seems to have some social needs left unmet and this has arisen since Rowan was born - probably not helped by the fact her ‘job’ is sitting at home all day churning out pointless shit for social media. Clearly Dan isn’t meeting all her social needs (nor should he really). Her real friends seem to be quite geographically far and her mum friends seem to be pissing her off all the time, having more babies and not initiating plans plus the new issue launched in this recent vid is their spouses aren’t friends with Dan lmao.

I don’t doubt she could do with a bit of therapy to learn how to tolerate the dissatisfaction better but I’m not really surprised if she’s actually quite lonely. I think the micromanagement comes from genuine lack of intimacy / close connection with any of these people.

 

[takeyourwingsoutside]

That latest vlog sounded like TTC click bait to be honest (this took a while) but it turns out she's talking about the bedroom reno. I wonder if sponsorships are making her post on the original Hannah Witton channel?

 

[storynerd]

Wow, I hope whoever organised the creator event she was invited to doesn't re-invite her, she slagged off the vibe in her latest newsletter (while banging on about how hard it is that she might have had to miss Rowan's first few days of nursery... like millions of other working parents)

 

[sheleg]

He looks like an even less healthy Steve Buscemi. So lank and rheumy, like a Dickensian vagrant.

 

[BumbleBeee]

At the beginning of her recent video about the to-do list bingo card, she says that her channel is about 'finding joy and play in adulthood and parenthood'. I don't think anyone would describe her content that way?

LMAO WHAT? If she's going to make her branding this, she needs to share it more than just for the first time in a video... and she needs to ACTUALLY make videos like that lmao

 

[tam]

In her latest video, I feel like she’s brainstorming out loud about her career and next steps, and that’s just really boring to listen to. It’s like being in my own head (even down to the accent), and isn’t what I watch YouTube for. I’ve stopped the video 14 minutes in, because it’s actually stressful.

It’s also difficult when she mentions not having got pregnant yet so many times. I know it’s a big deal when you’re living it, and I know that secondary infertility can be hard to go through, but as someone who will likely never be able to get pregnant, it’s hard hearing that all the time. It’s probably down to me to just stop watching, but I feel like we’re thin on the ground in terms of YouTube women in their 30s who aren’t either raising a family or talking about trying for one.

Completely agree, as someone who is child free by choice, I’m not particularly interested in that topic as a focus. I don’t mind it randomly coming up or it being a secondary thought but I don’t choose to watch those particular videos from any content creator. But as I said, thats just a personal interest, understand that for a lot of women in their 30s+ their main interest is most likely raising their children and trying to find some common ground.

 

[cazzaaa]

I'm mostly just offended by her appalling diet

 

[martaS]

She’s just posted a video on Instagram in her underwear (for no reason)… weirdo

She needs her bra fitted better than this.

 

[Lola123]

Her latest video seems to me that if Dan could work remotely, they’ll be off moving to Manchester! Which I think is a really wise decision all in all

 

[Daisymai]

She’s in for a shock if she has a second one… that’s a whole new level of no time for yourself

 

[ellyjelly2]

Right. My head hurts? WTF is she on about with this whole clothes vlog? Is this really what she spends her time doing? I honestly lost the will to live and had to turn off. Comfort casual comfort confident pie chart? What!?!? Who the fuck has time for this shite.
