Thread title right there“Parenting the shit out of life” should have just been, “shitty parenting.”
I find it really hard to believe that juggling child care and societies inequalities was to blame for the break down of this couple of white, successful writers who managed to gain social media fame… the math isn’t mathing.From the latest Grazia….
Oh yes. He’s still around. Still a dickhesd.Haha, I was the exact same - Susie sent a lot of here I suspect. I’d never heard of this site before it! Now I’m here all the time

One good thing about MOD was she actually did leave insta and continued on being a midwife. Obvs living through FOD (not looked at his insta in a long time though, is he still about?). I don’t have it in me to look cos I’ll just end up looking at his stupid posts for ages
Influencers tend to fall into narcissism a lot more than normally expected because they get unchecked adulation on tap. It’s not normal in any other usual environment to get everyone, colleagues, loose acquaintances and strangers saying “you look amazing!” “You’re so clever!” based on a snapshot. They end up having a warped sense of self and then there’s the addiction to validation. Sharing and over-sharing. Every moment in life, instead of engaging fully in it, the thought runs to the camera phone and how to share it to strangers to get validation. It gets unbearable to live with and around if you’re not that vested in social media as your partner.Maybe this is the reason but I think it may be more likely to be about the shifting dynamics in the relationship. So often when a woman who has been on an equal par (or less) with her partner has a meteoric rise in salary/status/adulation, the partner finds it hard to adjust, even if he has previously been supportive. Actually probably more so if he has been supportive - which Matt has always given the impression of doing. Easy to speculate but he might feel left behind, doesn’t want the kind of lifestyle or success that Anna now has, maybe he’s just accepting of the fact she’s changed and wants something new, or something else entirely. It’s rarely going to be one sided. Matt has always given the impression he’s seen social media as a necessary evil to promote their causes/books etc, whereas Anna has always embraced it. To withstand the amount of flack she has received over the years, she must really love it. They’ve finally achieved the kind of success they were after (books, tv show, radio etc) but it must mean different things to each of them now.
Sounds like he openly has a girlfriend too. Good luck to the both of them. They deserve some happiness but it’s not very wise to let it play out in public like she is doing. It’s so cringey.I think she's loving shoving it in Matt's face. How long before Olly gets fed up with the ego and nonsense. And hey, if she's found forever love well, good on her, cos everyone should be happy, but why gush about it so soon when you've just split up with your husband and know very well how things can go t*ts up.
Very 'i'm not like the other girls (who get divorced)' and 'im going to do divorce better than any of the rest of you losers can do it'Her write up is just bloody weird.
It would seem plausible if there were no kids on the scene. Seems a bit manic either way, breaking news of divorce, Magpieing quagmire, plus throwing in new partners all in a matter of months, or even if it was longer.I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, it's literally only been 6 months since they announced their divorce so that's a very short period of time to get on Hinge, meet the love of your life, introduce the kids and call his family your 'fam'. Obviously the separation process has been going on a lot longer and she probably mentally checked out of her marriage way before, but I kind of hope she did meet ages ago as otherwise it seems madness! Although I know there are plenty of people who do this.
Yeah, the “forehead line for every family member“ and slating skin companies who offered to work with her aged well.I just saw one of her post randomly, had unfollowed her long time ago, I couldn't stand her Joan of Arc's position for Mom and childcare like she's the only one fighting for it and the only one who got the idea. Anyway, WHAT in the kardashian happened to her face, she went overboard in the fillers or botox or whatever she did. She's so puffy and actually looks much older it's so bad.
