I was just about to comment on this too! Drives me insane. I wish she'd had a really difficult baby so she'd have been hit with a large dose of reality. She's got absolutely no idea about what "mum life" is like for the rest of us and she's sat there moaning that she couldn't get one the bike when she wanted to and had to wait 15 minutes. Eugh she's so annoyingI literally cannot get over her recent stories...shes stressed and upset she can’t do a workout because Amber was awake, saying she mourns the times when she could do what she wants...did she not realise that babies take up all your time? Clearly isnt all that happy with her body if she wants to work out that badly. And how stressed she was that Amber would have been awake on a walk as she is so alert and wants to look around..what?!?!?! Thats how babies learn!! Let the poor baby look around and take in her surroundings ffs. I honestly think she just wants and expects Amber to sleep all day and it genuinely stresses her out when she is awake. It makes me really sad
I agree, despite wanting a baby for years I did find it hard when suddenly you can’t do anything you want to do, you are entirely governed by the baby pretty much around the clock. With breast feeding you’re potentially tied to baby every 3-4 hours and it can feel soooo restrictive - these things take some getting used to, no debate.I don't think you fully know until you have a child how it feels. I don't think what how she feels is that uncommon to be honest, it's a huge adjustment, you can both love your child and take some time to adjust. No wonder a lot of people don't seek a bit of support or whatever if they feel this way, you just get judged and all sorts of accusations. Lots of people also are firm with routine to start with, I wasn't but some friends were, it worked for them- concerned for Amber's welfare as a previous poster said is a bit savage.
I find carys annoying and there's plenty to gripe about, but all of this is the same crap so many new mums have to contend with all of the time and it's sad.
it was that they drove for their usual dog walk, realised they didn't have the sling (even though she has storied walks where they have just carried her), drove back home but now amber was awake and Carys didn't want to take her on the walk because she would be awake and alert and wanting to look at everything (which she apparently can't do in the sling, but they wouldn't take the buggy). Carys stayed home to have awake time with amber. Amber starts sleeping so Carys goes to workout on the peloton bike because she wants to push herself yet contradicts herself by saying she's been told she can't push herself due to ab separation?. Amber wakes up, Carys stresses because she wants to do her workout, but then says obviously Amber comes first so feeds her and she goes back to sleep, so Carys finishes her workout. She then rambles on about how she mourns being able to do what she wants when she wants.To be fair there aren't many baby classes in the area (I'm near to carys) at the moment due to covid. They were my lifeline with my first and I am really going to miss them this time round if they don't start up again. Although there should be outdoor buggy fit classes which you'd think she would enjoy.
What did she say on her story? That she won't take Amber out incase she cries?
I was just coming on to say this! So Carys goes to mum & baby yoga and James has to drive her there?I’m Glad she’s taken amber to baby yoga…. But… why did need James to go, and drive? At over 3 months old it’s concerning that Carys still hasn’t taken her out herself.
I don't get how exactly he enables her. There have been numerous times in vlogs where she says James has went to the gym or went out, she could easily go out for a walk with amber by herself. It is more a Carys problem in my eyes rather than James controlling her and not letting her do anything by herself. Probably going to build a home gym so James doesn't have to go out to the gym and rush back to open the calpol for Carys, she can just bring it out to himI think we can all agree hes obviously a great dad, hes taken to his new role with such ease, compared to Carys she is so dependent on James, and he enables her. It just adds to her anxieties, she needs to take those small steps and take Amber on her own to classes, or for a walk on her own or her fears will only multiply.
Their lifestyle doesn't help. Even if covid wasn't a thing, they're always at home, no interaction with others or limited. I got anxious about human interaction with just 3 months off on furlough, if you have those underlying issues, I'd imagine they only get worse if you don't live your life. Before, they travelled, went out, met friends but as soon as they moved into that house...it was all house based.I just saw someone’s comment saying we don’t know what she’s like behind closed doors in regards to why she won’t go anywhere without James and it made me think. You know how in the past she’s admitted to being a jealous and possessive girlfriend? She said she always thought James would meet someone else, she would be paranoid about who he was talking to on his phone, obsessed with her looks etc… but she also said she isn’t like that now and I’m not buying it. Sorry Carys, but I’m not. I think that’s (partially) what all this is about. Her body looking the way it does post baby will be making her think those things all over again and I bet when she “can’t” go anywhere without James, she actually can, but she doesn’t want to leave him at home alone or she’s worried what he’ll do if she’s not there. Is he going to text someone, is he going to meet someone, is he going to get his jollies to pornhub over someone who looks like I used to, and so on. I get the overwhelming sensation that she’s insecure again (or it never went away) and now it’s worse because of her post baby body and she wants to keep him close but she’s playing it off as anxiety. No no, I’m not jealous and paranoid, I have anxiety so we need to be together all the time.
Feel me?
That, and because she’s embarrassed of her true face and neck weight gain. Pulling these faces means she doesn’t have to stomach herself. She’s messed up in the head. She needs professional help, but won’t seek it. So until then, she’ll have a phone full of these types of pictures. She’s crying for help. Just sad really.Because she’s a childish gob shite
