It does make sense Peanut. On the one hand, I feel desperately sorry for her loss and her PTSD. I’m not a monster. But on the other hand, she DOES make life incredibly hard for herself, and she’s a smug, sanctimonious knob while she’s at it 🤷‍♀️

I think a lot of us are basically saying that we wish she'd just enjoy being a mother. Not feel obliged to do 18 different activities before breakfast, not feel obliged to tandem feed, not force herself to co-sleep if it's not working, or to never say no. Not to push her family and friends away because she's in over her head with these ideals she's put out there for thousands to see. It's like she daren't hold her hands up and say 'followers, 99% of which I do not know personally and should not care the opinions of, I got some of it wrong.' not all of it. She is a good mother in that her children (well, at least Raven...) matter the most to her. She tries so hard she is destroying every other aspect of her life and herself in the process. We get it, you want to be superwoman. But it isn't always possible. It's rarely possible. And that's before the grief and before the gentle approach and before the newborn. She needs a break. A good meal, a long bath, an episode or two of some trashy TV or a few chapters of a book and a good night's sleep but also time to contemplate what she's doing to herself and Dean and her children.

And with that, I'm off to print out a life coach certificate... But you all know what I mean, right?

She 100% needs to take a break! What does she ever do for herself? She gives her all to being this ‘perfect’ mother which is draining the life out of her. Sure enough she’s just had a baby, but she could be using her bubble/Dean to nip out for a walk, have a bath in peace, watch some tv, start a hobby etc.

That would mean putting down the phone...she is fair too busy recording Raven playing. Not sure if she is ready to hear this but No.one.wants.to.watch.your.child.play.
Hearing R’s voice on stories really grates on me, I can’t understand a word she says either, her speech really isn’t great at all. My Son had a speech delay, and he had really progressed by Ravens age and his speech was really clear - socialising with other Children when he was at Nursery really helped!

The 'song floor' thing really annoyed me. Because your fingers are a person and they're standing on the floor?
No, Pea. She just made a word up, it doesn't have a special genius meaning.

Yes Embers birth story is really so matter of fact, there’s next to nothing about Ember herself.
Compared to the previous post about Raven, the difference is so stark.
Her children are going to grow up and read these 😢

It's taken her a month to write that and it's so impersonal. But Raven's post yesterday read like it had flown freely. Like someone else said, the first two paragraphs are more about Raven and their closeness, emotionally and physically.

I felt like I was having a baby so we went to the hospital and then I had the baby and then I went home and had my tea and went to bed.

Reads like a kid's story and we all know she's pretty good with words.

Also she had to get in an implication that she knows more than the maternity staff.
'I was surprised to be sent home because I knew I was closer to birth because I know everything'

Omg this really annoyed me! I thought oh just shut up, she’s clearly just saying a random word.

That birth story is pure lolz. ‘I woke up having contractions, went to hospital, had a baby, came home’. So detached the only emotive thing she wrote was ‘she nursed immediately’ and then JUST LIKE HER BIG SISTER. Shut upppppp! I can’t even deal with it 🤦🏽‍♀️

Does everyone remember that she filmed herself in labour all strapped up with monitors and posted it on insta with Raven? Did she do anything similar with Ember?
