I feel sorry for her if the echo chamber that is instagram has actually convinced her that she a) even has ADHD and b) that she needs to do something about it.
Staying in these bubbles where everyone just validates each other, and anyone who questions anything is labelled a hateful troll, is really damaging.
Phoebe needs a reality check. Reintegration to planet earth.
The problem with her dislike of motherhood, exploitation of her children, neglect of her self-care (in the real sense, not the spa day fuckery) is that the effects are slow to reveal themselves, until it’s too late.
I’m sure that actually Scooter and Coriander are really happy and feel a sense of security. Children don’t judge their parents. They love them entirely and forgive any failings instantly. That allows us all to make mistakes, correct them, and move on without a damaged bond. But when those failings are repeated and the child’s self-esteem becomes affected, it can be a slippery slope. ‘You got this mama’ will not help Vesper when she reaches the stage of questioning her mums behaviour towards her. ‘Parenting is HARD’ will do little for Herbie when he sees that he has no privacy or dignity in his childhood.
She is bleeping up. Will she notice? Doubt it.
