Please don’t let her make you feel like this. If it helps I’ve been reliably informed that a child’s long term memory isn’t fully developed until a child is 4. So the funny thing is Freya won’t remember any of these memories Grabby is making.Long ranty post alert!
My son is about 6 weeks older than Raffy and he had a pretty rough start with horrible reflux, general god awful misery, and a few hospital admissions for good measure. I remember looking at her posts about "dreamy" life with two, and all these amazing trips etc whilst I was pacing around trying to get my screaming baby to sleep, and feeling like I was utterly failing him (for not finding it dreamy) and my older one too for not having the energy to do lovely things with her and "make memories"
When my boy was hospitalised with suspected sepsis (twice!) I can't say I posted on the gram whilst I was in with him. Nor did I faff about looking for a breast pump instead of taking him straight to a&e. NOR did I take him out on endless trips when he needed recovery time, and we all needed to be together as a family. These are some of the many many benefits of not monetising your children. They're kids, not content, and what mine lack in chia seeds, plywood and photogenic holidays they (hopefully) make up for in having parents who put them first.
It's frankly disingenuous and irresponsible to portray yourself as some sort of aspirational parent when you can't even make good choices for your tiny children, especially when you consider that for every seemingly perfect instamum there will be 10 women with tiny babies scrolling through the pictures and feeling like they're doing it all wrong. If you're reading this with a small child or two at home then please remember that you're doing a great job, and that Instagram should come with a health warning.
TLDR: she made me feel like a bad mum, but I'm feeling much better about my parenting choices now. Instagram is a web of lies.
(My smallest snail is doing much better now thanks, and the NHS is bleeping amazing)
I couldn’t agree with this rant more. Parenting isn’t about trips out and Instagram posts and doing 10,000 steps a day in all weathers. Good parents put their kids needs first, not theirs and the ‘gram. She’s a disgrace & should come with a health warning!Long ranty post alert!

It's laughable, as not only does grabby have ma & pa Kedgefund literally a 5 minute walk from manky {semi-detached} mansions but also Ben Peeados dad lives nearby them too {I think he's near the allotments iirc}.Why wouldn’t she ask her mother or father if his own father isn’t around, to look after him indoors while she goes out to burn calories with or without Bentos? Or buy a treadmill for FFS?
I found these from Next. Right up her alley.View attachment 828926
Yip.Please please please don’t tell me she’s taken him to soft play!?!?
And she's "allowed" eat chocolate if her baby has been in hospital?View attachment 829446
‘I’m totally wiped’?!?!! REALLY? How do you think your poorly baby feels Grabby?
bleeping disgusting. She clearly hasn’t made it enough about herself. I have so much more I want to say on this but can’t even put it into words… oh except, grow the duck up you daft bint.
She is now posting a slew of affiliate links for clothes.I have no words - She's off her bleeping rocker!
