I just can't help thinking they smell like stale breastfeeding milk
I just can't help thinking they smell like stale breastfeeding milkEurgh, I remember that. Imagine having to sleep in that filthy room/bed in the first place. The clothes you put on would stink by the morning.
I obviously meant breast milk haha!I just can't help thinking they smell like stale breastfeeding milk
That whole post is ridiculous! Especially the first part about miscarriages, stillbirths etc. Even before my loss I was very aware of how awful these experiences must be and even if I had felt differently, I would never admit it or write it on a post that many loss mothers can read, the line about miscarriage being nothing much to grieve in particular! How insulting!! I'm genuinely shocked tbh.There must be some crunchy finishing school because they all write the same low key passive aggressive stuff constantly. 'I used to think blah blah but now I know better (than you)'
that’s what gets to me. She had no knowledge or awareness of others either in her social circle or beyond who had had to deal with these? Or worse did know but didn’t bother to reach out? Seems she only seemed to realise when it was happening to her personally.That whole post is ridiculous!

Completely agree with all you've said. Even from a young age I was very aware people lost babies from miscarriage to SIDS! How can she say she was never aware of this until she had her kids?that’s what gets to me.

I’ve dealt with all the stuff she mentions in that first paragraph and between friends, family and online, I knew how traumatic all could be because I saw, I asked, I observed and listened.
and arguably, because I was aware that I wasn’t the only person to ever experience those things, it was both a comfort to not feel so alone and a reminder to always be compassionate.
it’s easier to stay in a wee bubble of privilege and luck but sadly it’s happening every day to people we know.
It’s disgraceful what she has said on her post, and the way she viewed miscarriage. I’ve never had one, but I have never viewed it as ‘a heavy period’ and I’m sure plenty of other women who’ve never experienced such an awful thing don’t view it as that. I agree she comes across as a bitch, how ignorant was she before she had kids seriously? I thought she was bad now, but she must’ve been 10x worse before!Completely agree with all you've said.

She wants to be seen as a hippy dippy bohemian earth mother who loves everyone but to me she comes across as a Complete bitch!
Exactly, and even if you had and you were that ignorant you'd keep it to yourself surely? Not post it on your page where a lot of your followers have found you because they had a loss!It’s disgraceful what she has said on her post, and the way she viewed miscarriage.

Dean has definitely put his foot down and said they can’t afford more kids, if she’s saying money is an issue. soft play isn’t that expensive, she lives 2 minutes from one which is very affordable, maybe if she wasn’t forcing Dean to pay out to send Ray to a school which she deems far superior to a regular school, she’d be able to afford to take the kids out instead of bitching about how broke they are on Instagram. How embarrassing!Her latest post.
"I'm skint, someone give me a second book deal."
Maternity pay on her wage must be practically nothing. They live in a nice house (underneath the filth) and they cost money to run and live in. Whether it's true or not, she gives the impression Dean works every spare hour. I don't blame him if he has put his foot down.Dean has definitely put his foot down and said they can’t afford more kids, if she’s saying money is an issue. soft play isn’t that expensive, she lives 2 minutes from one which is very affordable, maybe if she wasn’t forcing Dean to pay out to send Ray to a school which she deems far superior to a regular school, she’d be able to afford to take the kids out instead of bitching about how broke they are on Instagram.

Yeah I’m guessing she would get standard SMP, but she didn’t work that many hours at the school, so it probably isn’t very much at all that she does get.Maternity pay on her wage must be practically nothing.

If you're in a position where money is an issue, I don't understand why you would put more pressure on yourselves by paying for a school. Home schooling doesn't have a fee (though obviously I know there are supplies and stuff to buy) and a regular school doesn't have a fee. Why put the whole family on a tighter than necessary budget to send the golden child to a "gentle" school?
She keeps banging on about how wonderful motherhood is, and how good at it she is. You don't get this time back, and while you don't have to spend a fortune to make memories, she's admitted herself that her kids are missing our because she's having to turn down invites. I just think the kids would appreciate making memories with their parents more than one day a week at a fancy school.
Did she ever properly go back to work? I might have missed it, but I remember her selling loads of their furniture because she wasn’t going back to work yet. Did she ever go back full time?Maternity pay on her wage must be practically nothing.
