Sarah This Mama Life #22 Sinbad at sea, here comes her childcare plea, still thinks she can cope with 3.

Not a single person thinks this, Sarah. Not a single human in the universe at any point in history has ever thought you were super organised or had your act together.

Not a single person.

Never.

Ever.

This might be a controversial opinion but I think its really unfair to move a 12 year old to the Middle East for a few years then to Scotland when she's 15/16 when you dont HAVE to. She will have spent the first 12 years of her life in one area, I know people do it & kids are resilient but it wouldn't be for me or my family.

I've never met Sarah but I know where she lives, what school her children go to, I know what her children's bedrooms are like, I know her children's full names, dates of births, hobbies, struggles at schools, medical issues and allergies. I know when her husband is away and that is solely based on the information she has chosen to share on the Internet. Strangers knowing all that about my children would be my main concern before I started worrying about them accessing porn.

7pm and she’s only just about to start tea shower homework and bed. Lachlans behaviour will be very largely down to being fucking exhausted. Wouldn’t it just be nice if they could have been picked up from after school club, then home for a nice dinner, homework and reading, baths and in bed for 7. Relaxing, chilling out together. Sarah could eat with them and once their in bed, get herself organised for tomorrow, have a nice bath and get to bed at a reasonable hour.
Honestly drives me bonkers how difficult she makes life. Yes clubs are great, but not at the detriment of everything else. L is 5. He’s done 6 hours in school. 2 hours after school club then karate. Maybe even breakfast club too?! Poor baby

Perhaps on Wednesday it’s slow cooker dinner so it’s ready when you get home. Or even get something from the chippy on the way home. They must be starving. Which is not going to help with behaviour

If her brother stuck on a wig and her dad put on a navy uniform they could cosplay as Sarah and sinbad.

Just look what an ex-pat childhood and returning to live in Scotland as a teenager did for Sarah. She has so many mental health issues, obsessive behaviour, control freak, imposter syndrome and a need to fit in and be accepted that she would be a psychiatrists dream.

What must her world be like if she thinks she needs to do a reminder that ‘not everyone’ is jetting off? Wtf I don’t know anybody irl away just now!

My dh is working long hours, as am I, from the sofa, while the kids occupy themselves! Her perception of reality is warped by the insta bubble - she genuinely believes all those accounts presenting an effortless idyllic luxurious family life

For most of us the reality of life is working long hours to get by, not seeing your other half very much cos of said long hours and having to tag team annual leave to cover childcare, apart from 5 days you overlap to stay in cheap self catering in a rainy U.K. destination.

The sheer entitlement and self pity that she has just drips from these posts where she believes she’s hard done by.

‘Amplify what she’s missing’ - look further than the end of your own nose Sarah and you’ll see you’re missing long shifts in a dead end job, not being able to afford to heat the house, the panic of budgeting for school uniforms - not to mention dignity and fulfilment.

The reel of L saying goodnight to people is yet another gross invasion of a little boy’s privacy.

It’s perfectly reasonable to want to record special moments with your kids when they’re little - and to share them with your deployed partner - but that doesn’t have to mean showing them to STRANGERS on the fucking Internet. Or setting up a camera to film your child to perform the private, special moment on demand.

She needs professional help. I don’t say that flippantly.

Lachlan is about as Scottish as Mel Gibson in braveheart! Moron.

 

[Pushyplumb]

Just hope she has got him some clogs to represent growing up in Holland too.

 

[DeloresBawbag]

Yet again she’s eating bagels late at night because she ‘forgot’ to order gusto … firstly, didn’t she have a food shop booked this evening? Secondly, why does she need to order gusto as well as a food shop? Is she seriously that incapable of making meals?! I can’t imagine how much money sges spending getting a gusto for one on top of the food shop. Ridiculous.

I don’t understand her at all. Why can’t the kids eat gousto with her, or she cooks for the three of them from scratch? She’s setting them up with such awful attitudes towards food.

I work, my kids do clubs 5/7 days, I still manage to prep and serve dinner (solo)! Genuinely Sarah, the secret is to prep one while one cooks. So you’re always a day ahead of yourself, and in the half hour it cooks, you food prep for the next day.

You can even supervise homework, or kids helping with chores at the same time. You can batch cook some doublers for the freezer!

(Disclaimer, I am not an Instagrammer, so you may wish to ignore my advice - if it’s not on the gram does it even count? Also, while I have time to work and cook and keep up with my kids, my hair is all my own, it’s trimmed annually, only have natural lashes, and my nails are… nude. I am not worthy.)

What on earth is she even talking about here? Not going to many family things when she’s “on her own” ————— ermmmmm you are there with your 2 children, they ARE your family. You are the primary care giver. What, does she not think that everyone else has to go out with their kids alone? That usually one parent will be working when the other is home? Or that loads of people are 1 parent
Households?

this woman just doesn’t get it at all does she? She thinks the world just revolves around her.

 

[MissSunshine]

Can’t get over how much she whinges about her life - when it’s a life she made for herself. Absolutely everything in her life has come from decisions SHE has made, yet she still can’t be happy or grateful, or stop for a second to realise how lucky she is!!! Poor poor Sarah, having a husband, huge house, stable job, healthy kids, friends and family and being able to afford endless amounts of clothes, hair extensions, eyelashes, days out etc etc. my heart bleeds for her

 

[Pushyplumb]

Two seriously long journeys for two children. In a matter of days, all for some cousins wedding. When she goes to Scotland normally do you see her meeting up with cousins or extended family?
The reason people decide to have midweek weddings, it is to stop all the hangers on from attending. They must have expected the RSVP to be declined but no FOMO Sarah who'd go to the opening of an envelope has to disrupt her her kids schooling and drag them to the other end of the country.

 

[Lilyofthevalley80]

Oh My God. What on earth do the children look like. The poor wee souls. Where do you even buy girls’ clothes like that?! If Isla was near a naked flame she’d go up like a light. That kilt does NOT fit Lachlan and looks bloody awful too - it’s so old fashioned snd not in a classic way

 

[Pushyplumb]

'I just normally crack on with things'..... She is having a laugh isn't she!?! I have never seen anyone moan, whinge, cry, feel sorry for herself, bitter and resent her husband's job more than Sarah...... Every single deployment is the same. Even then he is home she had to get the digs in that she can't move to Scotland, Middle East, London or fucking Timbuktu because someone's job.

 

[GPort]

I know that I will see those children tomorrow during school drop off/pick up and it literally makes me feel sick knowing that they have absolutely no idea of allllll the private and personal information that I know about them just because I used to follow their mother on social media. They’ll walk past me and won’t even notice me but I know all this stuff about them and it feels so wrong!

It’s always content > consent for instamums

 

[Popper]

How ironic that she’s “worried” about her children going online when they are older. When she shares those children’s full lives with 10s of thousands of strangers. She posts constant photos of her children to these strangers, tells them their whereabouts, tells them that they are struggling academically, tells them they are struggling with attention, tells them that she found her son hard to love and gave her ptsd.

So Sarah. You should be worried. Worried that you have shared your children’s full lives without their consent. You should be worried that everything that you have posted about your children will remain on the internet forever. And worried that you don’t know what creeps are watching your children on a daily basis.

 

[Pushyplumb]

And you can tell Sarah is so desperate for Mrs Meldrum to read her stories and invite her over or ask to meet up. Telling Instagram which park they are in and where they are heading for dinner.

 

[Pushyplumb]

Whenever she starts a story with 'Oh my goodness' you know it is going to be dull. Her cat was scared and wouldn't come down from the fence so she carried her in. And she felt the need to pick up her phone and retell the story on Instagram to tell strangers. No wonder she has so many besties if she entertains them with stories like that.

Oh you used to live in London did you Sarah? You should have mentioned it
