I could have written your post! Am one of six, mum and dad weren’t very interested past the cute stage. I was a pretty neglected adolescent and it took years out of my teen and adult years to unpack all that. I only have one child because I want to pour all my attention and resources into her, bit extreme maybe but I try to avoid making my Narc mothers mistakes all the time.At the risk of projecting a bit, I see some parallels with my childhood.
I am from a large family. I’m one of five siblings. My mum loved babies/toddlers. Once we got a bit older, I think she found parenting in a kind and emotionally supportive way, really hard.
Like with Alfie, my dad didn’t take a particularly active role in parenting as he was at work a lot, so it probably was very difficult for her.
However, I’ve come to realise that she’s actually quite narcissistic, which is very damaging to grow up with.
Children need consist parenting their whole lives not just when they’re cute little babies/toddlers.
She’s said that pretty often and has previously attributed it to one of her other brothers but now seems to take it on as her own creation/saying. I guess what she means is that your siblings are the only ones who have come from the exact same place as you and witness your life and journey from start to end pretty much.jessie saying that losing a sibling is
'losing a witness to your life' ?? what
Exactly that. I understand what she means but fromShe’s said that pretty often and has previously attributed it to one of her other brothers but now seems to take it on as her own creation/saying. I guess what she means is that your siblings are the only ones who have come from the exact same place as you and witness your life and journey from start to end pretty much.
I'm sure that's what she meant, but it comes across as very self absorbed to describe them as a 'witness to your life' as if their main job is to stand around and look at you, and if they have the audacity to die, that is one less person to do that.She’s said that pretty often and has previously attributed it to one of her other brothers but now seems to take it on as her own creation/saying.

admittedly I've never lost a sibling but seems like an odd way of framing things to meShe’s said that pretty often and has previously attributed it to one of her other brothers but now seems to take it on as her own creation/saying.

exactly! but she's clearly proud of her choice of phrasingI'm sure that's what she meant, but it comes across as very self absorbed to describe them as a 'witness to your life' as if their main job is to stand around and look at you, and if they have the audacity to die, that is one less person to do that.
Funny, I actually thought she showed some growth and development with her recent ig post about her attitude towards exercise. I guess it's one step forward, two steps backI think we have a challenger to reposting bitchy bathroom comments: reposting negative goodread reviews
handling criticism like water off a duck's back
there's something quite bleak about her reading all her goodreads reviewsFunny, I actually thought she showed some growth and development with her recent ig post about her attitude towards exercise. I guess it's one step forward, two steps back
Yeah she's had a thread for a while but it's not hugely activeanyone see the news that jessie's fave 'yorkshire shepherdess' with a brood of 9 got a yellow flag from social services - has she got her own tattle page yet?
I find the way they atomise their relationship & being parents to four young kids quite oddI can barely listen to the latest podcast featuring Alfie. Not only does he pass WAY too much comment on the clothing Jessie wears, but how she describes feeling like “she can’t believe she has a boyfriend”…. Wtf. 4 kids later and you have weird teenage thoughts like that. No wonder he takes the absolute piss, imagine knowing that your partner feels as though they don’t deserve to be with you!
So odd. Like, they never refer to themselves as a family, do they? And Jessie's post the other day about trying to get all 4 kids out of the house and it being difficult, you'd think she was a single mum. Alfie's back and should be doing all the parenting stuff and letting Jessie take a backseat or only do the stuff she needs to do for Becker. She talked about (on WIK recently) feeling guilty about leaving the kids for anything, even work but it sure seems like Alfie doesn't.I find the way they atomise their relationship & being parents to four young kids quite odd
