The Hello magazine article is such a massive pile of shite. Her ‘friends’ comment here doesn’t make sense? Surely other mums would be the ones to understand the best about why you might not be looking amazing? And really, in this day and age, maybe people should stop giving a shit about/judging what mums (women) are wearing and let them just wear what they are comfortable wearing.
The real issue maybe is new mums/mums having to do so much themselves that they don’t have the time/energy to engage in sufficient self care. And even if they do, taking care of children/becoming a new parent is fucking HARD WORK and anyone judging someone for how they look can just fuck off?
