Her mum was doing everything before they even knew the girls were sick… she was getting all the bottles ready, doing washing, cooking etc.

That’s why said a while ago as awful as it is, she is not your average mum experiencing what it’s like having disabled children. She’s very much living her life and has disabled children whereas most people’s lives stop. She’s still goes out with friends, holidays. Flogging whatever this career is. I feel sorry for the girls, not her.
My nephew has several issues including severe autism, fragile X syndrome and developmental delay which means he is now 20 but will never pass the mental age of 4-5. He is like Jekyll and Hyde as one moment he can seem 'normal' then the next have a tantrum where he goes into a rage because his Tinky Winky has been misplaced and he needs it or someone has turned off his Bob The Builder dvd by accident which can be scary as he is bloody huge and doesn't realise his own strength so more than once she has got a black eye or shoved against a door.

Even with my mum and myself helping her raise him, she never really got a second to herself. Going out for her meant running to the shops and getting dressed up meant she managed to brush her hair and put it up that day and it only got worse when my niece arrived. As bad as it was, she never complained and said there were parents going through worse including those who lost their children.

I know every experience is different but with what we know about her two wee girls, you would think she would want to spend as time with them as she could and not go galavanting here and there.

Her poor mum. Does Jesy realise she could make her mother very unwell from the stress and work of caring for two disabled babies? She's so selfish.

I totally understand Jesys want to do it without hired help. In my first few years with my daughter it was only me and my husband. No childcare, nothing. I refused. I did not believe anyone could help. In hindsight, they could but you get so deep thinking you’re the only one who knows best.

She absolutely needs to consider help, she’s burning everyone to the ground if she doesn’t .

Yes I do agree with you, it’s horrendous what she’s going through and it would never be wished on anyone but it doesn’t mean she’s suddenly a different person and the past is wiped and erased.

On the podcast she recently did I found a part really distasteful where she mentioned she had gone private to try and get the girl’s looked at (which is understandable if you have the money) but she was told the certain test needed had to be done by the NHS as it can’t be done privately and she was swearing and saying it was a joke and saying the NHS doctors she saw asked the same questions and kept doing the same things and she kept swearing and moaning about it. It made me think ffs imagine how the parents feel who can’t afford to go private. She would’ve been seen a lot quicker than other families and would’ve jumped a wait due to initially being able to pay privately but she still was swearing and moaning.
Bloody hell. I can’t believe she moaned about doctors asking questions. They need to ask the questions repeatedly because mistakes can happen and records can be mistaken, mixed up or insufficiently detailed and getting things right can be crucial to not harming the babies and getting their treatment right. Things could have changed since they saw a different doctor too, so they have to ask. When you’re accessing life extending treatment for your children, why would you be bothered about answering a few questions? Most mothers would climb uo razor sharp rocks or walk over broken glass on burning sand to make sure their kids got their treatment. Why the fuss over being asked a few extra questions? I don’t think she’s bright or informed enough to understand why they do it.

I find it really distasteful that she's basically merching those children now. They deserve a mum who doesn't share their medical history with strangers online. It's not healthy and it's not right.

WOW zion was wayy too young. What did he do in college? Also does her mum live with them and why is she sorting her daughters runners out? Bit too early to call it a Cheryl and her mum situation?
It said at the beginning her mum and sister both live with her which I wasn’t aware of either. By the seems of it her mum does everything for her and looks after her house/cleans for her etc even before she was pregnant. Probably makes sense for them, especially now. Jesy comes across as having serious codependency issues where she can’t be alone.

It’s not like the girls would’ve had tons of money at the start of their careers for staff and stuff. It’s crazy to me that someone who had to move out so young, and travel loads, is so inadequate when it comes to stuff like housework and cleaning.

I wonder if they’re still together?
She didn't seem to be wearing her engagement ring on This Morning. Something like this would test even the most solid of relationships, so it wouldn't be surprising, but if true, it's very sad for her to have another stressor to be going through at an already terrible time.

I personally say hats off to her. I don't have kids nor plan on however I'd never head of SMA. Because of her I'm aware of it & have some basic facts. That's what 'raising awareness' is about.

It does seem to be conveniently forgotten they had already broken up before the girls arrived, I can't remember the exact timeline,I think it before they knew she was pregnant, so they were not a stable couple to begin with. If they aren't happy together it will be better for their girls they are separated if they keep things amicable.
Though it being alluded too that he is not a present dad will cause issues eventually even if it is being spun as it is just for the cameras recurrently.

One of my friends got through and she beat cancer and never told her kids she had it, the producers asked her to do a sob story about being a single mum and having cancer, she told them to fuck off and got kicked off, she's brilliant too.

Is anyone shocked that considering she left little mix and got a large payment apparently (for signing her rights/link to the band away) that she has still been able to make a documentary with the bands name in the title and been able to use old footage throughout and profit off the band again? It just doesn’t seem right.
It's a massive misconception because the papers dramatised it. She wasn't bought out of any rights. They had £12M in their public businesses so she took her £3M out, that was the payment and what she was entitled to. If she stayed on as owning 25% she would have been entitled to money from the Between Us album and Confetti Tour which she had no part of.

I said it before, but I judged Zion up until I saw he was in the hospital with Jesy while still studying for his final year of his degree, and also running marathons raising money for charity 🥲
See I didn’t even know he was doing a degree through all this too.. he seems good as gold. I can’t imagine him just up and leaving deciding not to be there. There must be more to it.

It feels like she’s doing this because her children’s illness is a blanket of protection and she feels like she can say what she wants about anyone now and they have no right of reply because they will get a backlash of ‘how can you be so mean when she’s going through that’.
This is spot on. It’s so distasteful. I can’t ever take her word for anything or believe her side of things after seeing how she behaved after leaving and going ‘solo’.. and the way she would act so unreasonable on footage where everything was always about her feelings and no one else’s mattered. She seems like she would’ve been so draining to be around. I thought with all she’s gone through recently she would’ve had a bit of a reality check.
