These influencers are just pissing me off now with their unrealistic portrayal of the early days of motherhood… I had a really shit time as a first time mother, third degree tears, a baby that never slept and screamed 24/7 for the first year, colic, reflux, absolute torture! That baby is now 3 years old and it’s only now that I’m starting to feel like myself again… I know my experience was probably on the extreme end of difficult but these women are doing a total disservice to their following by portraying everything as “perfect, wonderful, a dream, so in love, my life finally makes sense” etc. etc.

Sometimes being a new mother is a fucking shitshow and you know what, thats’s ok!! It doesn’t mean I love my child any less than someone who had an easy time of it. I felt totally robbed of the lovely newborn stage everyone talks about, there was no love at first sight instant bond, it was hell! I have an amazing bond with my child now but that experience will never be repeated and I’m firmly one and done because I can’t see myself going through that ever again…

I already unfollowed Joanne Larby and Terrie McEvoy because they made me feel shit about myself when compared with their “wonderful” experiences and now I’ll be hitting unfollow on this eejit too… I never comment on these threads but she has seriously triggered me in the last few days!!

Charlotte has been locally announced as the Fianna Fáil area representative for the under 5s.

If you are under 5 and you have real life social economic issues like the below please get in touch:

1. Your local play centre is full of common children, whose parents had them in the public maternity system
2. You have been invited to a birthday party and the toys for pass the parcel are from DEALZ and not Brown Thomas
3. Your BMW buggy got scratched at a local event & you know the riff raff toddler who did it, only one of his parents has a job.
4. You are forced to spend time with babies who are being bottle fed.
5. You have a medical card.

Any man who wrongs a woman will say she is ‘mental’ to make himself look less guilty. Any weak cowardly ballsack of a man will anyway.

Jesus christ this one is really pissing me off now. Pontificating about pumping already and the baby not even a week old. After 4 years of breastfeeding, as far as I was aware it's not recommended to pump until your milk is in and feeding is properly established? My babies are not babies any more so maybe it's different now, but I remember being so tired from feeding on-demand that I couldn't be bothered even thinking of pumping for the first few weeks.

Also, she originally said in the hospital that she was pumping so daddy could feed the baby while she slept, now she's saying the midwives fed the baby while she slept. So daddy was in Clifford's I'm guessing?

Sorry this is turning into a Ted Talk, but the placenta encapsulation thing is such horseshit. I remember being told about it while pregnant with my first and I did some research because it sounded interesting, but as far as I could see it was just bullshit with no science behind it. Again, that was a few years ago so maybe there's more evidence of the benefits nowadays. But it definitely seems like a "mother-earth/insta-mom" bandwagon Sandy has jumped on.

Lastly (I swear), I was addicted to lactation cookies when I was breastfeeding!! They're just normal cookies with brewers yeast, which apparently can help boost milk supply. Again, not a lot of research or science behind the theory from what I remember. Probably just an old wives tale but the nursing hunger is real, I'd always snack on them throughout the day!

She's such a gowl though, "Look at how natural and easy I am finding all of this with my perfect baby" Oh shut up Sandra, your baby doesn't even know she's out of the womb yet. Just wait 10 days and then tell us how perfect life is.

I'm really sorry for the long LONG rant everyone. I suffered so badly with PND and post-partum anxiety. I had cross, reflux babies with dairy intolerances who never slept. So even though they're big now, this yolk is giving me PTSD to the newborn days when I'd scroll social media at 3am and cry while looking at all the "perfect" mothers.
She's such a pain in the hole.

I had 2 very easy sections and so much support at home and a loving husband who I didn't need to impress but I still did not pontificate to the world how well I am doing. I had nothing to prove to anyone.

She is a week into motherhood and should really cop herself on. Sure her child hasn't even properly woken up yet. Randy - you are setting yourself up for a massive fall.

She is everything that is wrong with insta and 21st century life IMHO.

Us work pals put money together and bought bits from smyths for our work pals baby born tue 26. We had arranged to literally drop at our workmates door (we have all had babies and did not wish to intrude). Anyway we met her partner who told us she’s actually back in hospital with very high BP, so we just left our gift and well wishes. We messaged our work pal P (she reads here) and she said ‘what is it with Sandra Murphy dressing up out and about and I’m here in pain, puffy , puking and high BP’ so we ended up talking about how unrealistic she is and that it’s for Colm and not her. To try and cheer her up we were saying ‘at least you weren’t sharing a ward with her’ - and she said she wasn’t but she saw them in post op so 10000% Charlotte was born on the Tuesday the 26th. So Sandy you have fooled nobody with your pre and post section pics. Anyway P feel better soon & remember the majority of us felt like we were ran over by a train x

I can’t but help of my poor work mate who had a baby the day before Sandy and is only just home with a cranky enough windy baby and not coping too well with breastfeeding. She’s making it look like she just bought a new handbag. A baby isn’t an accessory. I know my work mate reads here so listen P you are doing great & your reality was mine too! Sore boobs, sore holes, sore belly, leaking, bleeding, sad and happy. I got you 💕

What a loser! Imagine 17 grandchildren and he has never held any as newborns. Sur is it any wonder Colm is what he is, when his father is such an inspiration to him. Jim obviously never held Emily either....
Thats a bit odd and why would colm even say that the fool.

This is to get Colms attention.
Remember she rode him when he had a partner, I’m not saying he may not have pursued her, but in any case if she wasn’t interested BECAUSE SHE KNEW HE HAD A FAMILY she could have said no. She knows deep down he is happy to approach a woman even when he has one at home. So this tells me this is all an act for him. Look at me I have make up and hair done and I’m all dressed up and I’m rearing your child. Reality at this stage on day 5-6 is black leggings, big pads, oozing blood, water and every other fluid out of you. She’s glamourising it to keep him interested it’s the only explanation and it says a lot about her trust in him. She’s getting dressed up each day as if she’s going on a date and this perfect new mum routine of reading books, watching movies etc, god she’s in for some land!

Exactly, you’re a peak ovulation for a certain period of the month. Every women knows when that is and can do something basic maths, she wouldn’t be caught dead in the local pharmacy I’d say. Maybe she truly thought she had fertility issues or her age would decrease the chances who knows


Rosieshouse I lived for your updates when I was reading the threads. I remember you said you’d reveal more after baby was born, that was 2-3 threads back. I’m guessing he’s just a dog driven by his d*ck and more escort stories and the like. I just can’t over how hard she tries to portray her image of perfection, “fianna fail baby” headline 🤮 and such when the back story is as is. It only keeps more people talking, I’d pipe down on my SM if I were in her position
Ya a few weeks ago we were out with people who know both Colm and the ex..war going on behind the scenes apparently and Colm has a domestic violence conviction from his time with her.. has only been allowed to start having the kids overnight recently and has to do monthly drug testing..

I doubt Sandra knows any of this so in case she is reading here I didn’t want to spill that particular tea before the baby came…loads of awful stuff going around about him..he’s a scumbag by the sounds of it

@rosieshouse is epic! Like I said before, you can’t beat having the local knowledge. Wonder what’s going on with the boys WhatsApp group?🤣🤣
The WhatsApp group is called tits and tips if Sandy wants to take a look 😅

Free like her mothers vagina last Halloween
I was waiting for this🤣. The child is Charlotte and her mother is a harlotte…just drop the C.

I hope Colm's ex partner reads these threads with a glass wine glad in the comfort that she is well shot of him.
Absolutely, in fact I’m going to have a glass of wine this evening in solidarity with this woman. I hope she gets on with her life, meets a wonderful man who treats her like shes a queen. I have no doubt this will happen for her.

Tattlers…who’s joining me for a solidarity glass of 🍷

Ah now, the way she’s carrying on you’d swear the public system would just rip the baby out of you whilst you’re perched on a dirty stool! I was in for a d&c not long ago and because they had some probs with the spinal I had *two* consultant anaesthetists involved you snarky bitch. All on the public system and I didn’t die - imagine that.

I’d say it’s safe to assume that even Crookstown’s favourite bareback jockey wishes he’d worn a condom now rather than be stuck with this insufferable simpleton for the rest of time. The new baby is a gift and I hope she and mother are well but honestly if we thought Sandy was a parasite who swallowed a thesaurus before….buckle up.

I felt totally robbed of the lovely newborn stage everyone talks about, there was no love at first sight instant bond, it was hell! I have an amazing bond with my child now but that experience will never be repeated and I’m firmly one and done because I can’t see myself going through that ever again…

Oh my love, I could have written every word of that myself. You are absolutely not alone, especially when it comes to the "instant bond, love at first sight" shite. I didn't feel that either and I thought there was something wrong with me.

Sandy with her fucking fake tan and bouncy blow dry is everything that is wrong with social media. But you know what, I'm glad I let myself feel like shit, and cry for weeks and wear pyjamas every day, because it was real and I wasn't trying to impress anyone or put on a fake front for a scumbag partner.
