Kate Lawler didn’t want a baby, but she gave it go ... the doulas/freebies should lessen the blow

I read all the time how empathetic to Kate you are, and I hear you.Shes got help for Noa with the night nanny, but its Kate that needs the support. A baby has very simple needs at this age, but it is a huge impact on the mum. She should be able to access the perinatal mental health team.
There are 2 adults in the household, neither of whom go out to work in the traditional sense. 2 adults at home 24 hours a day. Sorry but there is no need whatsoever for them to require a 3rd person to help. It’s self indulgent nonsense. If one adult is tired then here’s what they do - they go to sleep and the other PARENT looks after THEIR OWN CHILD. crazy I know.I really don't blame them for getting a doula. They are bonding with the baby, but being sleep deprived can really, really affect one's mental health. I would have sold my soul for a decent nights sleep when I had my baby. I was so tired I was unsafe to drive. A doula can be a wonderful thing. It won't affect Noa at all. In fact, it will benefit her from having parents who are well rested.
And what's wrong with that?
Does she need to be messaged by strangers with their opinions and personal views on what she does with her own baby? There isn't really any need I don't think. The baby isn't in any direct risk, despite the fact that many people wouldn't do the same. Share your views on here but I don't know why you think she needs to hear it from people she doesn't know.Has anyone actually called her out on the 3-times-a-week “doula”? (Night Nanny)
I feel like there would be a lot more negative comments on this subject, perhaps they’re being deleted?
This the privilege doesn’t bother me one bit. The complaining, need for justification and constant attention seeking drove me to unfollow. I loved the girl and I mean that, thought she was ace. Then I thought perhaps there was PND at play with so much going on (pandemic, poorly baby, new mum, her age having her first) but now? No, just a fucking self centred arsehole citing woe is me so all the insta hun blue ticks swarm in saying how amazing she looks and doing great. If that’s all she needs to perk her up then I don’t think there’s any huge problem. A river of fake tan and some new pjs pouting away is the one then? Help 3 nights a week (as I say, nice work if you can get it) baby naps in daytime, she’s on maternity and he’s always home. What exactly is the problem? Should not compare and I know this is my bad but have you seen Laura Whitmore? Getting on with life, enjoying her baby and shared just a couple of pics. Part of me thinks I should be ashamed of myself saying all this...I’m not!Can’t believe how I have gone from loving Kate to really disliking her in such a short space of time. So privileged yet SO much complaining. I’ll admit I had a night nanny a couple of times with my little one as my partner and I don’t have any family and he worked overseas but I realise how lucky I was to be able to do that. She has had a doula 3 times a week and all she does is complain. I know that nothing really prepares you for the exhaustion of the first few weeks but it’s been 6 weeks she needs to get her sh1t together, check her privilege and stop complaining. Also they did a whole podcast series about having a baby and what to expect, how was she so unprepared?
For two parents at home all day?? Can we agree that the 'hard work' is also known as 'parenting'? And if you're not up for parenting what on earth is the point of having a baby?But if they can afford to get help & feel like they need help then I don't get why people are so offended. Babies are hard fucking work!!
I always think if I had money I’d hire a chef, cleaner etc so I could spend time with my kids without worrying about all that other boring stuff. I wouldn’t pay someone else to spend that quality time with them instead.Thing that annoys me is you can’t even voice some of these valid concerns without being brought down in flames by her followers. People saying ‘if I had the money I’d do it’ really? You’d not mother and bond with your child if you could outsource it?? If that’s true it says a lot about you as a person.
I hate that Kate’s normalising this?! It’s like she’s a Victorian duchess...children must be seen and not heard
Such a ridiculous thing to say too, like we all can just throw our maternity pay away on something like that? Oh no wait...us mere mortals have to use ours to pay our bills and just try to survive till we’re back at work earning againThis reference to statutory maternity pay is so ridiculous and such a pass agg way of framing how she is paying for the night nurse.
Yeah she’s a very odd character isn’t she. She’s always putting on this performance. The over the top shouty ladette voice, the irritating and juvenile “brillllllllliant!” Thing she always does, the constant trying to be a bit laddy talking about shit/boobs etc, calling her boobs Grant & Phil etc - it’s all just a stupid childish performance and a very dated one at that. She makes herself look & sound really stupid I think and really immature. She’s a 40 year old woman - she needs to just drop the 1990s ladette act and just be normal.I totally agree! I'm actually finding all her whining really nauseating and just narcissistic. She really needs to be a little more grateful that she one, has a healthy young baby and that she managed to conceive, ( even though she didn't really want a child)
I honestly wish I was in her position. No financial worries, a supportive husband, a brand new house and a healthy baby. Honesty Kate just FUCK OFF!
Also, can't stand seeing constant photos/stories of her dogs and her annoying shirley/baxter put on voices. Why is she always so animated?
Also known as 'getting up'. How many people are up earlier to get the kids ready and get to work? I am literally in shock at these two. They clearly have had everything handed to them on a plate, have absolutely no concept of hard work and have never met a baby before! I don't find either of them remotely sympathetic. I feel horribly sorry for that baby though.He's been up since 6.45 with Noa.. What does he want? A round of applause for caring for his own daughter?!
I was going to post exactly this. Getting out of bed to pump, but NOT feed your baby as said baby is being cared for by a stranger.I don’t understand the doula if your waking up to pump? Babies are more efficient than a pump so you could just feed and pop them back down. She’s also pumping for 15 minutes when it needs to be at least 30 minutes at this age.
Also what a waste of money, hiring someone to stay up with your kid so you can sleep and going to bed at 11.30!
I really liked her a lot before the baby/pregnancy too. But she was very immature tbh especially with all that 'I'll smash your face in business' which I found really unfunny. And she definitely had a social media addiction as well. It's funny how the baby has made me see her in a completely different light. I actually don't like her much anymore.Same here, followed her for ages and thought she was normal and quite funny but her behaviour since having Noa
