Hate is too strong a word (just) but I really loathe this woman-child. As a new mum myself, if I didn't know as much about Grabby as I do from here, her posts would make me feel so, so shit. Even so I sometimes still feel inadequate until I give myself a good talking to. She's dangerous and that comment from the poor new mum just proves it. Grabby’s response makes me so angry as well, there's clearly a lot more going on behind the scenes such as tantrums, tears and lots of help from her mum and Ben pecked.
I genuinely think that her need to seem perfect comes from a place of real deep
insecurity.
She has to create a fake life online to feel better about herself and desperately craves the approval and envy of total strangers. That does not come from a healthy place.
When my kids were babies I absolutely felt like I had to prove myself to everyone. I felt I was failing so I wanted everyone to think I wasn't. I remember having a toddler and a 3 day old baby and almost killing myself trying to bake cakes for our visitors, just because I craved that 'wow, you're amazing!'.
Truth is I felt like shit and burnt out pretty damn fast. And people offered me no support because I seemed fine and wouldn't admit I wasn't.
Having little kids is hard. We all hide in the toilet and cry. Don't be a dick and just admit it
