You mean like how she doesn’t work and has a couple of kid free days a week yet is still exhausted and can’t cope with them in the time she does have?
No some people are just bone idle and don’t want to be parents - but it’s too late now because the kids are already here, they’re real people who need looked after. My friend is one of them, she’s a single mum but her ex has her kids 3 nights a week. And the days she has her kids her mum and dad have them half of that time. But yet she constantly talks about how difficult her life is.
honestly I don’t know how she’s so tired. I’m still working and looking after my child by myself 7 days a week and I’m actually alright! She has so many days to herself during a week what’s her issue??

I do get why she’s tired tbh. The girls are very young and don’t seem to sleep much. But instead of doing something about it like getting them into a good routine with proper bedtimes she just puts them in front of the tv and moans about it.

agree that kids are tiring. But if I got multiple days off to myself per week...nope sorry you should be revitalised. They have a terrible sleep routine I agree that would help

The girls have gone to dads, Cue exhausted/wanting stories and posts
the girls have gone to their dads, she is alone to do what she pleases, to sleep as long as she wants for a couple of days. She must be so exhausted. I can’t remember the last morning I slept past 5. There are no breaks in full time motherhood!! And let’s face it, she’s part time at the moment.

She’s probably depressed and traumatised by what she has been through.

While I fully appreciate children need to spend time with both parents, handing over a baby and small child would be soul destroying for most mothers. The children are intrinsically linked to the trauma she has suffered, even though they of course have not caused any of it.

I agree it isn’t healthy to use social media as a way of debriefing trauma. If she ends up in litigation she will most likely regret a lot of what she has posted. I’m surprised she isn’t being more savvy.

And all those things bring me back to her probably being depressed which can cause such debilitating tiredness the thought of getting off the sofa for the loo can be overwhelming.

I find her posts and stories uncomfortable to watch and they make me feel almost voyeuristic. I wish she had an excellent psychologist to work through all this with.

I agree. It must be awful handing over a child and a baby to your ex and his new girlfriend, knowing that literally last year you were pregnant and hoping things would work out as a family.
When youre a single mum to such a young baby (speaking for myself here) the balancing act of needing time to yourself but not wanting to hand them over to other people outside the family home is really hard. So I can understand her constant flip flop of I'm knackered I need to be alone to feeling guilty and missing the girls.

Oh her new post just made me cry. It spoke to all my insecurities as a mum whose kids may one day have another mum figure in their life. Bless her.

This really got me too. Its something only a single mother could truly understand.
The thought of this breaks my heart.

really sad post :( I can’t relate directly but the thought of another woman playing mum was enough. Where she says ‘they’re MY babies’ must be really hard

Messing up the kids hair for the gram or a genuine mistake? I don’t know how the fringe is so blocky and wonky...

I totally get trying to sort the fringe out after the kid hacked at it. But why did she have to cut the rest of her hair?! I’m certain she did it just for the ‘gram

On the video of when her little girl had just cut it, it does look really wonky all over so I do think she levelled it up out of necessity.
Either way I hope they're both not too traumatised because it was so funny. X

Ok so she gets a massive ASOS delivery despite being skint and then posts a book she has been #gifted before it's even released in the shops about how to control your spending habits :oops:

I feel like she’s on self destruct at the moment.
