Rachael has romanticised her way into a complicated mess and the longer she is dishonest with herself about it, the worse it will get. We all watch her cover up these issues that they repeatedly have. It’s just becoming more obvious as they get more frequent and uncontrollable because the kids are getting older. I think she’s just very foolish.
You don't think, you KNOW, as we all do.
She is so childish announcing like she has conquered life and SS reports, but there has to be a reason why she is being reported, as she says us tattlers only see 3 mins of her day, frankly that is enough sometimes to report her, but we are a gossip forum, I think these reports are coming from people who are closer to her and they are giving details none of us here know about. But she still manages to unstick the jam.
I have expressed my frustration as have so many about her downfall, its very very slow but it is happening, She used to post big brands at 7pm every single night, well almost, I have noticed they have almost disappeared, latest one was for a food delivery with a discount, you don't need to use her to get that discount as its easily available direct with the company.
She knew this was happening and why she set up the patreon, good luck to her, the difference is, we now can give a good estimate to her earnings, and so can the Tax Man. No hiding it like the PAYPAL.
My mother would give me the silent treatment very often and without explanation. It was awful. I can still remember the anxiety and the overthinking trying to work out what I'd done or said to upset her. She always has been emotionally unavailable to me and I swore I would never do that to my daughter. When I have a falling out with her (she's Edie's age) I always explain it fully to her so she knows exactly why I'm angry or upset. Within the hour we're back cuddling again. I simply can't let her feel the way I used to. It's such a sad thing for a parent to do to a child.
This, your comment and others similar has been playing on my mind.
Mine are all very grown up now, so had to really think about how I adulted!
I know that I have always been strong in explaining things to mine from a young age, you just have to teach right from wrong.
Like you I had the conversation then it was back to normal.
However there were times in their later teens that I said, I just cant talk to you right now, lets have some space and silence, don't talk to me.
It worked for us, but the silence was for about 2 hours, it just gave us enough time to calm down, gather our thoughts.
I still have disagreements with mine, 32, 22, 20, I say what I have to say then that's it and vice versa, we don't keep it going.
My mother and 2 x husbands would give me the silence treatment for days.
It hurt.
So now its, lets talk about it when we are calm, hash it out respectfully then move on.
