Wow. I actually felt really uncomfortable watching her stories.
When I said I’ve let myself go my train of thought was literally ‘oh f&@k the sun is out, I’m going back to work and look at the state of me’ So I cut out the 5 biscuits with my coffee, ordered some summer clothes in the bigger size, booked in my hair & beauty appointments and got on with life.
I think it’s a few things at play - she’s put on weight and for the first time ‘being good for a week’ hasn’t been enough to shift it.
Life is going back to normal and she has NOTHING to return to. People are buzzing and looking forward to work, socialising & routine again but literally nothing in her life changed apart from having to actually be with her kids, and they’re already back in school/nursery.
I also think she might be hitting the crisis so many of my friends have had - had kids young then realise they’re done with the pregnancy/baby stage, they didn’t get to enjoy their youth & don’t really know who they are.
Before she got lucky they had a nice lifestyle but they didn’t go on weekends away, days out or holidays unless mummy & daddy paid. Then it was constant freebies. Then Lee was at home and I think that’s when she totally lost (or just revealed) herself.
I don’t feel sorry for her because there’s an easy fix - spend your time making your purpose being the best (stay at home!) mum you can be. Volunteer & really get an insight of the world and feel the natural endorphins from helping people. Or get a basic job to enable Lee to work on shore and enjoy normal family time while your children are little.
