Iām still behind and stuck in the last thread but I wanted to come and say this before I forget again! I write so many essays in my head while Iām reading through these threads and then my toddler and baby wake up before I get the chance to post.
I would have so much more respect for Hinch if she was just honest about things. Like if she said, āguys, Iām really not a confident cook, which is why Iāve been sticking to pouches and jars. I was too scared of messing up. But Iāve reached out to (X person or company) and theyāre helping me out with some simple recipes for things I can make for Ronnieā. I donāt get why she hasnāt done this. Sheās admitted before that cooking isnāt her strong point (no judgement - itās not mine either) and surely no one is going to believe that one day Ronnie was living on pouches, then the next day she suddenly knew how to make pancakes and patties. It doesnāt make sense.
Why doesnāt she say, āRonnie isnāt great at sitting up or crawling yetā? Why does she try to pretend he can do it? If I had to guess, Iād say that sheās worried sick about it and doesnāt want to be judged, or for people to message her and say thereās something wrong with him. I get it. But I donāt like that she pretends that he can. If youāre worried, just donāt show him at all. Reach out to the health visitor and ask for support, and keep him off insta.
Last one: I REALLY wish sheād admit that her mum is there. Just admit it! āGuys, when lockdown started, we decided that mum would move in with usā. Iām guessing itās so that she can keep āworkingā as there is no way Iād be able to clean, film, make things right now (I have a 9 month old and 2 year old. My husband is a key worker and is gone all day. Iām lucky if I get to have a wee). She has to have someone there to be able to do what she does. I know she has Jamie but maybe heās involved with a lot of the filming too...I donāt know.
I just hate all the slyness and evasion. Iād like her a lot more if she was transparent but itās like she physically canāt do it. Everything has to look like itās perfect.
