Long time lurker first time commenter. I totally agree with @mygglife. I too am around the same age as her and don’t live far from skerries and never in my life have I wanted to high five someone so much as @mygglife.Mel is not a skerries person she never went to school there (and her husband only went to high school there)etc and I know people who know her/Thomas who I’ve never heard them mention her once. Skerries is a nice town but there are a handful of people there who are wanabe D4’s(posh Dublin).Long time reader of these threads. First time commenter! I’ve watched Mel since her YouTube days and being from Skerries myself, the same age as her and an actual qualified teacher - the number of times I have literally screamed in rage over the years was many.
She talks about Skerries and calls it a ‘village’, takes pictures of the one thatched roof in the town and acts like she’s some sort of fairy in the magic countryside for her American viewers. It’s literally a town with over 10,000 people! It’s nothing different than any other town in north Dublin and her snobbery has been embarrassing to watch - you’d swear she grew up there too the way she goes on. She didn’t!
I’m the same age as her, I don’t know a single person who knows her from Skerries. I’ve seen her out twice when I’m home for Christmas and the only people I’ve ever seen her with was Thomas and Thomas’ friends and their girlfriends (some of who I would know to see). Looking quite formal, not very much friendship craic going on.
Another thing that has also annoyed me over the years was her claim of being a teacher. She did the Early Education course in DCU- something that under no circumstances means you are a teacher. It’s a fantastic course and I know loads of people who used it as a course to do before getting a teaching degree. But nope, not a teaching degree so not a ‘qualified teacher’ which I literally remember her claiming in videos numerous times.
The housing issue- Jesus wouldn’t we all love to be able to afford a bloody house!no one is more deserving than anyone else!
As someone said in a previous post she has done a full 180 from the modern feminist in her prime YouTube days to the Marriage + babies + house = life complete.
Sorry for the long one
In regards to the housing Ireland in general is really bad at the moment for buying but that’s everyone and no one gets preference just because they are a young family. I include myself here as I’m trying to buy aswel but I don’t think myself and my baby(who’s only a few months younger than pan)should get the sympathy vote like mels looking for. it’s done by bids and defiantly not by lower bid & a young family look. I’ve a family member who sold their house in skerries and it’s her dream house aswel but they’d never sell it to Mel and her poop on the ground nappies. She needs to get off her high horse get a real job and live in the real world because when Thomas is gone to work it’ll hit hard in a house alone. No one to drive to Balbriggan to do the shopping(she can’t drive alone on a learner permit), no one to take the baby while she works whenever she works, everyone has their own life. Then she can complain about being alone no help. I’ve no family here, work frontline as a nurse and have a baby who’s only a few months younger than pan and I had to go back to work a month after I had a baby. Not looking for sympathy but just pointing out her victim complex of I’ve no help, I’ve no one it’s all just me, drives me mad as she hasn’t a clue at all! Especially since she’s had her husband since baby was born and a house full of adults plus her dad on hand to help is just disgusting!
sorry for long rant it’s been a long day
the issues that poor child is going to have
herself lol! Now she’ll really get a taste of what parenting is all about.
