Stop using your toddler as an emotional dumping ground in your constant need for martyrdom and grow the fuck up.

Such a good comment on Thomas saying in response to another child "I just have this need to be fulfilled"

Remember when she boasted her dad bought an ethically sourced free-range turkey from Tipperary one Christmas, making it out he heavily researched the most pampered Turkey in all the land. And in the Vlog turned out to be from the local Lidl/Aldi

I just remembered that gem this morning, thought I'd share a giggle happy Tuesday x

Funnily enough, when it comes to topics around parenting, she only seems to care about the ones that let her act all high and mighty and put other mothers down. She goes on and on about breastfeeding and sobriety. However, she never seems to mention exercise/spending time outdoors or socialization. I'm sure there are numerous studies (and not the "studies" that she keeps citing) on the importance of interacting with other children. But Melanie wouldn't want to mention those because she's too lazy to go outside with her kids.

Imagine being that insecure. When you're comfortable in your own skin, you don't need to hype yourself up by putting others down. I'm far past being angry with her, now I just feel sorry for her.

And by the way, the amount of alcohol in breast milk is the same as in your blood. This has been proven in numerous studies over the years. So if you have one drink, there's around 0.02 percent alcohol in your breast milk. That's less than the amount in vitamin D drops that are aimed at infants. They usually advise breastfeeding mothers not to drink because they don't want them to be drunk while handling the baby but the milk itself will not do the baby any harm.

This is coming from someone who doesn't even drink due to health reasons. But guess what? I don't care what other women do. If a glass of wine helps them get through the day and they make sure that they don't harm their baby, by all means, go for it.

More fear mongering about how dangerous it is to *gasp* have children over the age of 35, and when she’s called out about it in the comments she immediately blames her GP who apparently told her the clock was ticking.
GP said nothing of the sort to her and she is yet again lying about medical professionals.

And the ick monster she married referring to Autumn as “breeding season” had me dry heaving.

The new video about wine mums. I am actually speechless. I genuinely do not know how she thought any of that was OK to post. She basically shamed 90% of parents in one video. I have a REAL alcoholic parent so know a thing or too about ACTUAL alcohol abuse and what it does to families, she's basically categorising everyone who likes a glass of wine with dinner or at the end of a hard week as an alcoholic who should be ashamed of themselves.
She actually makes out like having that glass of wine is choosing alcohol over your child or saying that you will damage your child be making jokes about needing a drink after a shitty parenting a threenager day because it will make them think they are the cause of that parents frustration/alcohol consumption. Mel, I highly doubt these 3 year olds are on fb looking at the memes their parents are sharing about these things nor do I think any good parent in their right mind would say such things directly to their children. Bore off. It's a bit of a laugh between adults because parenting absolutely sicks sometimes when the kids are on one and yup a glass of wine is sometimes just the ticket.
This is entirely different than getting bladdered in front of your kids, neglecting them for alcohol and drinking bottles of wine every night. It can be done responsibly and doesn't make you a bad person or a freaking alcoholic because you like a glass of goddamn wine!
She is an actual loonatic who is clearly wishing she could join in.

Love this post. I think it's actually so typical of Mel to shame mums for a glass of wine and the entire "wine mom" thing. Dad's can come home after a hard day of work and drink a beer and nobody bats an eyelid. Motherhood is hard, you get breaks at work. You might listen to a podcast on the way into work. Mothers can never switch off. There is no real downtime. Once the kids are down what fucking harm is a glass of wine and the evening to yourself? I guess we are all shitty mothers because we don't climb into bed beside them at 8 o'clock at night and then park them in front of the TV all day so she can film another breastfeeding reel.

Trust 1950s misogynist wife Mel to shame mam's for a glass of wine while dad's everywhere have a beer in front of the Telly. She hates women so much.

Melanie, he is three. Find a more age appropriate fairy tale.

Ma of the year behaviour. That's fucked up. The fact that she still spins a tale about being forced an intervention "to hurry her up" is twisted. Most of us on this thread saw her initial story in comments on ig days after her birth... They were then deleted in order to make a more harrowing and false account of her labour which makes her look more like the victim.

She talks about bloody sheets and a third degree tear yet fails to mention that SHE refused a blood transfusion. Convenient. Also every mother that gave birth in a hospital suffered with hallucinations from lack of sleep. She's isn't the outlier here? Was she expecting to sleep peacefully with a newborn in a hospital setting

I had a second degree tear. My sheets were also bloody. You give birth, you bleed and it leaks. Big fucking deal.

It's the Melanie show and her kids are extras in the background of her life. She will remind them forever of everything they ever put her through and the sacrifices she made for them. She needs to sit with herself for a minute.

ETA - there are serious war crimes being committed right now against babies and children and this is what's at the forefront of her mind? You are home with your two healthy children you don't know how lucky you are, you miserable cow

Comment an example or experience of fatphobia.

That time *you* went on a fat shaming rant against the model Tess Holiday for being on the cover of Cosmo magazine.

So let's not pretend you are an ally of fat women Mel, the internet doesn't forget.

 

[mama.llama.drama]

Another day, another argument in the comment section. It’s not even Melanie’s channel, it’s Jessie’s.

I was in the home of the president only yesterday don’t you know!!!

What a load of shite. She’s done ‘loads of guest lectures’ over the past six years? What is she on about?

I cannot believe she's looking into intermittent fasting after watching one (1) podcast whilst breastfeeding (lest we fucking forget) and with a history of ED. I can only speak as one person with a history of disordered eating (and I'll have to fight against the thoughts for the rest of my life) but it's just so irresponsible and dangerous. The last thing any eating disorder sufferer needs is to set a fucking eating window that you cannot eat outside of. So dumb of her.

 

[Dearreader]

Actually disgusted at the entitlement and outright laziness of her asking if followers wanted to buy her dad a birthday pint to donate instead.

Who of her followers would actually give two fucks about buying her dad anything or that it's his birthday? They aren't Irish celebs ffs. The fucking entitlement to think her dad is a somebody. Secondly the fucking absolute laziness of that post. Say nothing at all Mel it's embarrassing.

Double post but it just reminded me of the time she had gotten a massage and said upon leaving she gave a homeless person 20 euro to get themselves a massage. I mean. sheltered.


Same thing really. The act of looking virtuous online whilst being totally self absorbed and stupid. It's only ever to look good whilst doing nothing.

The bit where she's says she doesn't want her kids thinking that she thinks the are difficult and that's why she needs a drink is just fucking gas and so high and mighty.

She posts reels about being fed up, frustrated, postpartum rage, disheveled and how she doesn't get to do anything for herself ALL THE TIME, no support wahwah -*she is showing them she thinks they are difficult* and not only that but sharing it with the world on her social media and profiting from it.. She's worse than a mother having a glass of wine and making a skit of it.

So she can gtfo the pedestal she puts herself on.

 

[Sazb64]

Oh lads I'm gonna wet myself here she's a space cadet

Sorry now I'm pro breastfeeding but as for it being taught in schools?? Nonsense. It's something you only truly learn by doing and every experience is completely different. Sure she herself had almost 2yrs of breastfeeding experience with Pan and still struggled to feed her daughter for a good while?

I also struggled to bottle feed my son so should paced bottle feeding etc not be taught in school too, no? She's amazing, it's car crash content and I am HERE FOR IT

 

[Megapuff]

I bet she's seething that the mam appeared on Jessie's channel

 

[cat_follower]

He so clearly knew this would come out and calculatedly built an army of conspiracy theorist empty headed dipshits who would rush to his defence. I like how Melanie has said she was a fan of his ‘spiritual self-helpy stuff’ as if it wasn’t mainly his anti vax shit she ate up and shared. Whenever I start to feel a bit sorry for her in her shite bungalow and weird relationship I remember how she acted during covid- what an absolute arsehole she was, and is.

 

[Dearreader]

On Keelin Moncrieff's latest reel on STI testing. Because of course Mel would have to give her two cents. She's literally the last person I'd ever trust to actually go and get tested, which is awful considering she's always been so against using protection

She has said numerous times (that comment was clearly about Toby turner and Jaclyn) that she was in an open relationship with Toby - there are screenshots of her saying so and then she states that they didn't use condoms despite being in an open relationship.... that's on you Mel.

Blaming another woman for giving her an sti whilst Mel agreed to an open relationship... it's your fault Hun. Nobody else's. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

The audicity of her to give out sex advice in the past and now. She's a fucking dose.

 

[Jah89]

Did I read this right? Is she really telling us that its 'not normal' to eat right before bed or first thing in the morning? 'Not normal'!? Wtf, way to trigger disordered eating just wow. Eat whenever the fuck you are hungry.. if that means eating just before going to sleep... eat! How is that not normal?

 

[rattleprattle]

Where is she getting the “50 percent less likely to be depressed” figure? I can’t find that in any study. She’s pulling it out of her arse.


She talks about being a hardcore breastfeeding advocate but all she does is try to scaremonger women into breastfeeding. The long term studies on breastfeeding are very nuanced as to the benefits( which undoubtedly there are) but not to the extent that she claims ( cancers and maternal depression). This woman is saying she was depressed and felt that the best thing for her was staying on her medication, and sleep and out comes Mel out of her trap saying if you had tried breastfeeding you would have had a 50 percent less chance of being depressed. Lovely.


If someone says they stopped for sleep she says oh making bottles is so much more difficult. Yes it’s a bit of a faff but it can be shared between parents. She tries to tell people you won’t get any sleep anyways so you might as well suffer on. It’s like she has Stockholms syndrome or something. It’s condescending it’s minimising, it’s trying to gaslight people and say that their choices aren’t really valid. She’s horrific.
---
She cannot tolerate anyone saying anything positive about formula because she has that much judgement for the mothers that use it, including her own. Like what was she afraid of there, that someone struggling with depression and hating the early days of breastfeeding would read that comment and decide to stop? The child will not combust. It’s not a crime for a mother to prioritise her own well-being.
