I know Instagram is pushing reels, but why does she feel she has to make reels?! she's already an actor, comedian, artist, presenter, author, podcaster, influencer....Thanks for the new thread
You know I said I liked her reel that one time? The latest ones are a bit tit
There was a comment calling her out for this and she said it's because she wants her kids to have a varied diet.Her reels are so unfunny and try-hard. I've never really found her comedy funny tbh. It always feels like she's playing the role of a comedian. I find her funnier and more interesting when she's just being herself.
Also, 'if you had potatoes for lunch you can't have them for dinner' Go on Jessie! Get those food issues started early! Seriously though, does she think this is a normal thing to say to your children??
Quoting myself because it looks like she has deleted the comment now! Tells you everything you need to knowThere was a comment calling her out for this and she said it's because she wants her kids to have a varied diet.
I call BS
I’m absolutely convinced she’s trying to “do over” her last pregnancy and birth and instead of it going to (her) plan and THIS TIME IT’L BE GREAT it’s getting exponentially worse because - well - more other children to consider and zero self care time.Anyone listened to the latest pod, the one where she claims to be depressed? Obviously low moods after baby is never fun and I do feel for her, but maybe if she forced herself out the house a bit more and made an effort to see more people she’d feel instantly better. Becker is 4 months old now, he shouldn’t be breastfeeding all day like a newborn and should have a bit more of a structure to his day which should make going out and about easier.
It shouldn’t be a shock to her that self-care time becomes harder to achieve with every child you have. It’s like she’s wanted so much to have a fourth child without thinking about the potential downfalls. Imagine if she didn’t have the hands on help with her mum, she’d feel ten times worse!
Yeah i feel bad on Tenn cos it's not his fault he had a difficult birth and couldn't tolerate breast milk! She needs to realise every child is unique and having babies isn't something that can be perfected. I feel with the new baby she's signed up for several more years intensive parenting before she'll get a bit of independence back, she's still a few years off the younger ones starting schoolI’m absolutely convinced she’s trying to “do over” her last pregnancy and birth and instead of it going to (her) plan and THIS TIME IT’L BE GREAT it’s getting exponentially worse because - well - more other children to consider and zero self care time.
(I saw this in myself and scrapped going for #4, horrible to see it in others who don’t realise they’re doing it)
For me I felt that if I got the birth 'right', it meant I was starting out right in motherhood. Absolute bollocks obviously, but you're bombarded with messaging during pregnancy about 'natural'/perfect births that you can feel a sense of shame or even failure for things not going to plan. I refused pain relief during and after an episiotomy because the NCT messaging left me feeling that pain relief was to be avoided. What a div I was, if I ever have a second I'd do things totally differently and ignore the bullshit!Genuine question to you guys, why did you feel so much pressure from yourself or others to have a perfect pregnancy/birth? It’s really interesting and I totally agree Jessie seems to be stuck on that.
I've always felt that however the baby comes out (vaginal, c-section, forceps, suction, drugs) doesn't matter as long as they get here safely with minimal damage, emotionally and physically, to the mother, best-case scenario. But even feeling that way, I still have lingering thoughts of "could I have gotten through it without drugs?" and comparing myself to people who got by on gas and air.. it's making me think that next time I'm in labour I wanna avoid the drugs which I KNOW is irrational and ridiculous You always end up comparing yourself no matter what, no matter how 'good or bad' it wentGenuine question to you guys, why did you feel so much pressure from yourself or others to have a perfect pregnancy/birth? It’s really interesting and I totally agree Jessie seems to be stuck on that.
