I wld add that she always seems to be banging a drum about some cause or other, be it mental health, PMDD etc. I don’t doubt she’s had a tough time but there’s a thin line between raising awareness and using stuff for content. I did wonder what she was gonna focus on when her PMDD journey came to a close, and now we have a possible neurodivergent child.
Even if she stuck to her own health conditions it would be something, but ffs leave the kid out of it. There are some things in life that should never be put out there for public consumption. It is deeply uncomfortable to see her talking about the boy’s (undiagnosed) neurodivergent traits on social media when he can’t consent to any of this being shared. I get wanting support if you think you might need it, but why not go through official channels (health service, charities, dedicated support groups) who are qualified to help you. Why spill your guts to nearly six thousand unqualified strangers on Instagram, other than for validation? Even if a few of them are helpful, that still leaves thousands who don’t need to know. She’s always shared too much of the kids online IMO (including showing their faces most days) and now thousands of internet strangers know her son might be neurodivergent, before even he knows or understands what that means for him, and that’s even if he IS neurodivergent. Why isn’t she protecting his right to privacy instead of giving it away? It’s his health and his business, not ours. If I thought my little boy was not neurotypical, I’d be keeping it close to my chest until there was a formal diagnosis, and then I would be so very careful about who I shared it with in real life, never mind online.
I’d be boiling over if I was the other mum, who has already had the remains of her marriage and divorce put out there to be picked over by strangers, and now this.
One day the kids of all these parent bloggers are gonna sue them for the grossest breaches of their privacy, I am sure of it.
