Jesy Nelson #7 same old same old…

Guaranteed if she does document their lives on social media, the LM fans will have a field day criticising her. Hopefully they have property or another source of income so she doesn’t have to resort to it

I was going to say that I can smell a documentary out of this. I'm not comfortable though with someone telling the story of their children.... like a PP mentioned, it's not always black/white around consent. Especially if the parent is earning money from telling said story.

I think in cases like this, where it’s to genuinely do good and raise awareness, it’s different

It's a hard one because if she's going to go public with their lives and make money from it then I think it would depend how she was going to spend that money really. If it's to ensure she can stay at home with the girls, make sure they're comfortable etc perhaps pay for private carers from them eventually then I see no wrong in that. The sad truth is though, jesy for whatever reason has a lot of "haters" and I fear no matter what she decides she isn't going to win. Personally, I think if it's all done in a way that protects everyone's dignity and raises awareness then she's as well getting some kind of financial gain from it to take one pressure off her. Realistically, I don't see her making an absolute fortune from this.

She said “I just want to be their mum, not a nurse” and lots of people are criticising her for that. Also lots of people saying she should be doing more to raise awareness and make changes, but she’s just a first time mum doing her best. My heart breaks for her
Some people don't have an ounce of compassion and it's just really sad honestly.
Social media is vicious.

I do not get the hate.

I think we can all agree she’s behaved poorly towards others and got little carried away with herself before now, but only the soulless could lack empathy for Jesy’s circumstances just now.

It is clear that Jesy is struggling. She already mentioned she was nt sure about becoming a parent and then found herself pregnant. To warm to the fairytale of typical parenting was probably some work, then the discovery of twins, then the complications, and now this? You can feel her anger of knowing this could have been prevented. That’s completely understandable , No one goes into pregnancy and parenthood expecting to become not only a mum but a nurse. No one *wants* this. It’s only normal to grieve the experience she thought she was going to have.

In my line of work we always talk about going on holiday to Italy, planning it all, getting the currency, learning some of the lingo etc and then just as you get off the plane you find yourself in Amsterdam. It's still a beautiful place but not at all the place you imagined and planned for yourself to be in. It helps people understand the confusion, upset and just the complete wtf head space parents find themselves in.

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.

The earlier it’s picked up the earlier they can be given gene therapy which stops the progress of the disease, it the damage that’s already done can’t be undone.

shes getting so much hatred on TikTok on the video that this morning has posted and I just don’t get it. She’s in an absolutely awful situation and people have no grace!
Massive lack of empathy from some people.

I’m not a mum but can only imagine when your pregnant you imagine a life with your children and don’t expect to have to learn how to put your babies on breathing machines, her “I just want to be their mum, not a nurse” comment was completely normal.

That’s a poem called Welcome to Holland by Emily Perl Kingsley ❤

Aye and all her fans still think she's the best "medical mummy"

Let's be honest, parenting isn't always the rewarding journey that most of us expect it to be. It's hard relentless graft and you lose a lot of your own identity in the process. Add in a hard pregnancy, then having children with huge medical issues... I honestly can't imagine. Your heart aches for her, but I just hope she's careful in what she shares I guess.

Women are expected to become silent martyrs when they’re mothers. They’re not supposed to say “I’d rather if my child isn’t disabled and fighting for their life every day” because it ruins this perfect illusion of motherhood that we’re suppose to strive for.

Social media and online is utterly disgusting if she's getting hate over this. She didn't murder anyone, she left a band. Now she's living a nightmare, there is no greater pain than seeing your child suffer and she has to see two of them suffer for however long they have.

People can be such wicks.

The Welcome to Holland poem is well meaning but many parents of disabled children do not like it (me included) especially when the grief is raw and it’s being sent to you by someone who has not experienced a devastating diagnosis for their baby/child. There are lots of blogs and alternatives out there explaining why it can be problematic so I won’t clog the thread with it.

Obviously some will find comfort in it but it’s quite simplistic, and the future Jesy faces in particular is anything but.

This isn’t a criticism of the poem’s author but more rather how it’s used towards parents going through probably the worst experience of their lives.
