Here’s what was posted. She saved money during lockdown so shouldn’t complain about the cost of childcare now. I think that is an outrageous comment. Incredibly judgmental and unnecessarily nasty.
The person who wrote that probably doesn’t have to pay a penny of childcare!
I am no Rhi fan but having had a baby during lockdown it is offensive to say that because she didn’t have to pay for childcare she didn’t have a right to complain. My baby didn’t meet her grandparents till she was 4 months old thanks to the lockdown and even then it was in a service station car park. I think that comment was outrageous tbh!
It’s probably someone who wasn’t able to work from home during lockdown so is bitter. You see them crop up in all kinds of topics lately.
As someone TTC the whole way through the pandemic, it does upset me when I see too much of the “woe is me” narrative around this. I would have loved to have had mine during the pandemic with my husband at home more. We planned for it even as it would have been ideal. The other person said it well.
There’s been so many studies that prove that prove the very early social interaction doesn’t have to be with multiple outside people, but it’s like people pick the narrative they want so they can get offended or needlessly neurotic about their kids development.
Just be thankful for what you have (Rhi, but I guess anyone it applies to) and stop looking for how hard done by you are in every situation. Some people would be so grateful to have had the exact situation you had.

Ugh, also “only other pandemic mummy’s will understand”. Stop gatekeeping Rhi…
Like we didn’t all just live through the pandemic, all with different issues, like being a mum isn’t hard for some people anyway.
And how can she ever say “all alone”? What on Earth is she on about
