This isn’t the take louise thinks it is lol. This person has got it all wrong. The og commenter wasn’t talking about how much each child is shown, they were talking about how much Louise mentions and goes on about Darcy compared to when she’s away from Pearl. Also there are very clear comparisons between when Louise takes Darcy on a solo Disney trip without Pearl I.e no mention of missing Pearl at all, compared to this trip with no Darcy where she is mentioned at every opportunity. Also bold of her to assume that Louise does anything with either child and that isn’t shown on Instagram
she has totally missed the point, in that she will happily leave Pearl with Liam to spend time alone with Darcy - whether holidays, day trips etc - and Pearlie won't even cross her mind, or certainly not to the point where she mentions missing her, or ensures there is a Pearl charm attached to her bag to signify her absence. when she says her relationship with Pearl is more "balanced", what she means is that Pearl lives with her all the time, so she totally takes her fo granted - whereas her relationship with Darcy is more *special* because she isn't always there and because Louise spends the time Darcy
is with her focused on competing with Matt and Devon to be the "favourite" parent. she sees it as a competition, so she prioritises taking Darcy out on trips and to events to ensure that Darcy has the best time, and i think all the mentions of Dracy in her recent stories were her hoping that Darcy would see them and be reminded that Louise loves her and misses her, despite her trying ot enjoy her holiday in Spain with her dad - and likely being made to feel guilty because Louise made it obvious she would have enjoyed her holiday mroe if Darcy had been present.
she also makes it very obvious that Darcy is her favourite child just by the way she talks about the two girls and the comparisons she makes between them. she quite obviously prefers Darcy's more reserved and obedient personality, while she makes her exasperation with Pearl's more energetic, bubbly and "wild" personality very obvious. when she had Pearl, i think she wanted a mini Darcy replica to essentially fill Darcy's place when she was with her dad. she doesn't seem to realise that as Pearl grows up, she will be painfully aware that she is always the unfavourable of the two girls when Louise makes comparisons between them, and that even though she lives with Louise always, her mum doesn't spend much one-to-one time with her and focuses on Darcy and how much she misses her and how she feels incomplete without her, yet is happy to leave her behind with Liam to spend endless aline time with Darcy, with no mention of Pearl. Louise massively over compensates when Darcy is with her in terms of the time she dedicates to her and all the activities they do together - which, in itself, isn't an issue - but she seems to overlook the fact that Darcy isn't an only child, and that Pearl will start to pick up on the way that they are treated differently, and justifiably come to the conclusion that Darcy is the favourite. and the fact that random. strangers are noticing that from her content, basd solely on different ways she talks about the girls, should be a warning sign to Louise that she needs to stop treating Pearlie as second best - because it will impact her younger daughter's self esteem as she grows up, and potentially have. a detrimental effect on her relationship with Louise. in that respect, i'm glad that Pearl has Laim who - despite his failure to. step in and protect his daughter's privacy online - seems like a dedicated, involved and loving father.
