We need to remember old Hinchy po isn’t real life. At all. When my eldest was born she was a week old and her father was sent away to Gulf war 1. He missed the first 4 months of her life. I was 18, married, in quarters and lost to fuck. Not a clue. But guess what? I had to knuckle down and do it. 2 more kids later, many wars later lol and me having a very good job I was still knuckling down. With not much help. Her life is faker than her teeth. She’s not real. I know it’s easy to say but do NOT compare yourself to her. It’s easy to live in a show home if a) you’ve a full time dad there too plus her mum plus her sister b) you don’t actually do any living or cooking in the house and c) you’d rather piss about on the gram than look after your little man
this was sort of how I was sucked in. I’m 23, I have 6 and 4 year old daughters. When my eldest was a baby (I was 17) I moved from Northants to Manchester to be with their dad. It was my first house. I had absolutely NO clue what I was doing, I only really had my Auntie here, no other family to help as they were all still down South, but I did my best with housework and things and I thought I was doing ok
We moved house round about the time Hinch became a big thing and all of sudden I started doubting myself. I started thinking I was doing it all wrong and that stockpiling all these cleaning products was normal and no one had told me.
i get judged almost daily anyway because of my age and the age of my kids and I started cleaning to extreme because I thought that’s what I was supposed to be doing and people would be judging me more because I hadn’t been doing it
I was cleaning up things my kids were playing with while they were still playing with them as they were making a “mess”. I was spending a fortune on all this stuff (thankfully we weren’t in a bad situation financially so it didn’t affect the kids or anything) and I was exhausting myself trying to clean the house from top to bottom every day.
thankfully I woke up to it pretty quickly. I realised that she didn’t have a job, or kids to look after (she didn’t have Ronnie at the time) and she didn’t seem to actually cook. She had all day to clean her house, whereas I had a job, 2 kids who needed dropping off and collected from school and nursery, I had to feed them, play with them and generally be their mum. At times I was putting them to bed, or cooking their tea, she was cleaning already clean blinds, or cleaning the seal on her fridge because she had all the time in the in world to do that. I didnt .
I don’t dislike her and I don’t wish her any harm at all. I do still watch her videos, but all this “I’m just like you guys, were all the same” stuff is quite dangerous, because she isnt just like the average working mum, but they feel pressure when they can’t keep up with her routines
) I used to be a sales director and know most sales tricks going and this is definitely one of them...fairly well executed in the beginning and very easy to fall for if you are the sort who falls for smooth talking very highly trained sales people who will draw you in.
