why do they WhatsApp each other like a cringy chick-lit romance book

tattle always calls stuff out months before , love it

They WhatsApp like they know they're going to publicise their WhatsApps , so bloody performative.

She’s got no fucking clue has she?

In her world, people work lovely, middle class jobs in PR and marketing.

In the real world, many people do 12 hour shifts in factories, hotels, care homes and hospitals for minimum wage and have no choice but to work 50 hours a week to keep their heads above water.

I used to do 4, 12 hour night shifts in a care home and not sleep in the day as I had children to care for. Not a chance I chose to do that, I had no choice. It was that or not pay my rent. I was burnt out and miserable.

What planet does this deluded idiot live on?

There are people who are gonna be going through divorce and the same time and following MP and feeling inadequate that they are not divorcing as well as these two
Its already a tough time and MP is just gonna make them feel worse

To be fair, she’s not like other mums. Most take their kids to school now and again and don’t dump an 18 month old on their grandmother 4 nights a week. Most also don’t resemble a hamster due to volume of fillers.

does she honestly never get bored of herself??

I’m a single mum and well, I just get on with it does she want a medal?

fun throwback : when a boy told 12 year old mother pukka she couldn’t dance so 28 years later she made everyone at her birthday party sit and watch her do a choreographed dance in order to write an inspirational instagram post

Soon by the looks of it

What a pair of ghouls, they’re an accurate representation of modern middle class shit parents

“Don’t apologise that you have to leave a meeting early, don’t apologise that you have to go pick up your child from nursery”.
But, in normal polite and professional environments where you are causing an inconvenience to your colleagues…you DO apologise?
I don’t understand her nonsense about her having a child becoming the responsibility of her employers. Stupid messaging.

Relatable tired mum face from several years ago when doing an activism post:

New aspirational full of filler face when doing an ad:

Quite literally the definition of two-faced.

Not the pouty finger wagging again intro again

is there anything more depressing and desperate than attending laura whitmore’s Next clothing line launch and posting about it like you’re at an oscars after party

I would put money on her playing away, maybe with another woman?
She became increasingly unlikeable a couple of years ago, the red flags went up when I read their first book- it wasn’t good. I hope he can move on cleanly whilst Anna does no doubtedly what Anna does best- living her best tragic life.
flexible working was on its way with or without her. She hasn’t changed the world and is just another dated instahun that is no longer relevant.

 

[skronkywildcat]

Oh mate, it’s giving Alice J-T in her will marry anyone who buys her a seafood platter era.

Anna if you are reading, you owe it to your daughters to take things slower with this guy in case it goes tits up. It might not, but you don’t know that.

(the braids act like a face lift, tightening and lifting the skin).

A lot of people are overworking because if they didn't they would lose the roof over their head.

I run my own business from home and make more money than when I was employed to sit in an office by someone else. In my opinion if you can't trust someone to work from home then you shouldn't have hired them in the first place. We're adults, not schoolchildren, we can be trusted to get on with our jobs or face the consequences if we don't.

I also don't think it matters if people pop out to run errands or do something for themselves during the work day. Many people don't think twice about their work-life bleeding into their home time - checking/replying to emails in the evening etc. That flexibility should work both ways.

It's not about the number of hours you put in but the results you get out. Often when I worked in an office I would find people stayed late to look like they were dedicated, but they didn't actually get any more work done than if they'd have left on time.

 

[Exhaustednurse]

The whole flex working issue for me is that I struggle to see her as a leader in this domain when fundamentally her ‘job’ was fannying about on the internet.
I’m inspired by women who really do juggle, in the sense of hours, corporate politics, trying to get a true divide between home life and work, and how hard it is to not allow difficult work circumstances impact on who you are at home.
That’s what I’m interested in.

Without wanting to sound like a nutso christian fundamentalist type, if there is no abuse of any kind on either side, and if you once had a fulfilling sex life, chemistry and affection with your partner, then generally you can get that stuff back again if you are willing to work on the relationship.

Unfortunately I think it is symptomatic of our culture of instant gratification that people actually don't want to put the work in to relationships any more and instead would rather just kick the can down the road and get into a new relationship, where a decade down the road they'll likely find themselves in the same situation.

I don’t think this is nutso Christian fundamentalism…I think it is just the sorry state of modern relationships the world over. Life is no doubt harder than it has ever been, which adds a lot of pressure on young couples and families, and I’d say it’s been getting worse, not better, over the past decade at least. It’s a combination of harder circumstances plus the ease of getting out and moving on (divorce is tough for many reasons still, but a lot easier than it used to be) and that “grass is greener” “plenty of fish” viewpoint which breaks people and their relationships. Sticking it through (as long as no abuse etc as you mentioned!) and working on it is more hard graft. What gets my goat about this couple is that they’re marketing themselves and commercialising their divorce in a way which makes them seem “authentic” when they are anything but, and the fact that their kids are not even a consideration beyond being used as props for their “magpie” story.
Their text exchange was scripted. Their photo ops are styled. Their verbose captions are heavily edited. There is nothing raw or relatable about them, yet their followers laud them on their “honesty”. Would be far more “real and raw” if Anna came out and said yeah Matt was punching with me, look how hot I am, and if Matt said yup, Anna’s a sh it mother and I’m sick of her self obsession and taking up stupid jobs like the graveyard shift at some radio station that noone’s listening to and dj-ing at festivals on weekends. We are just very different people now and need to get along for the kids. That’s it. No stupid photo sessions, no ridiculous double page newspaper spreads. Influencer wedding commercialisation was bad enough, but now we have to be subjected to their divorces too. I hope the fee they got paid for that feature was worth the embarrassment for their kids.
On the flip side, I have so much admiration for the Beckhams that I didn’t have before seeing their documentary. And also understand Colleen Rooney’s decision to stick it out (anyone that says it’s for the ££££££££ is delulu because she’d get that £££££££££ in a divorce settlement anyway).

I can’t decide if this aged really, really well or terribly.

The reviews are interesting - one says Anna goes on for ages with overly flowery language and it takes ages to work out what she’s getting at (bit on the nose that, isn’t it?) and on the other hand Matt’s really clear and concise.

Another says basically she’s constantly on her phone and he says it gets in the way of their relationship.

(Obviously the phone does not present an obstacle for Olly Breton who actually loves how much she’s on her phone.)

someone help, i'm dying of second hand embarrassment

This is such millennial cringe.

 

[pommobear]

Why is she making being a single parent her whole personality. She's single parenting with a massive amount of money and privilege. Hardly comparable to, for instance, my mum, who single parented with absolutely no financial support, no family support, working two jobs & barely making ends meet, never having any kind of break. If she has "sole responsibility" during "her" weeks, presumably during Matt's weeks she gets the whole week "off"? Has anyone got a tiny violin?

 

[WeHadFunRight]

How long has she been calling Matt simply “my ex” ? I thought they were extraordinary or something?
