I think a lot of people get annoyed by this family for these things too -
They act like working hard and sacrificing is something only they have done. Hard work relates to the majority of people in order to pay for a home, car etc. The difference between us & them is that we will most likely need to continue to do this until retirement age. Early morning, late nights nursing; teaching; construction; retail etc. They have not been in the traditional workforce in years. Brad now too has left his 9-5 job. This isn’t the norm for most people. We get up 5-6 days/week, shift work, missing time with our children (I know, I know, her and Brad did that too but for a very short period of time in comparison!) And we probably still have times where paying bills and putting food on the table is near impossible. Meanwhile they go on about how hard they have worked to be where they are, but realistically they haven’t worked hard at all. They did what most people do and got super lucky that they don’t have to continue doing that for the next 50 years.
We are in unprecedented times. People are losing jobs, mental health is declining, families are struggling. Covid has made life unbearable for so many people. But not them. I’m sure their work has increased with all the online shopping people are having to do at the moment. Brands are just dying to have the Kearns family promote their product! They get to stay in their home, safe, with their children and take a few photos or record a video of a product that they got given for free & then get paid hundreds or thousands of dollars for that “ad”. It actually blows my mind that they can seriously claim this as work. Sarah talks about herself as someone who supports women and wants their businesses to flourish. Well if that’s the case, why doesn't she do it out of the goodness of her heart with no expectation for payment? She claims she works so hard at being an “influencer” but this is an insult to those who actually have tiring, gruelling, demanding jobs. And whilst these people get up for another day of work & stress over money, she gets up and heads to Bunnings to buy a BBQ, go out to the lake to jump on their boat & JetSki, wait at the door for her new iPhone 13 & watch the kids play in their expensive cubby house. They are a pair of show offs who love parading their assets around for everyone to see. And doing so at a time when most people can’t even afford basic necessities. And they wonder why they rub people the wrong way. It’s sickening at the best of times, but right now it’s even worse. Have a bit of compassion & humility during these times.
