She could try giving up the pity parties about the life she has chosen.
Just say Sinbad left the Navy, I think they’d be separated within a year. She wouldn’t be able to play the hard done by, put upon mum and I don’t think they get on particularly well. Her eating and anxiety disorders would be more obvious and while I don’t think he’s got much get up and go, I think even he would notice. What would she do then? What would she have to moan about?The sad sickness this is just another excuse to guilt Sinbad. She knows it’s probably anxiety and sadness because he’s missing his dad and she’s done sweet f all to help her kids and made it plain that Daddy being away is the most awful thing and they must suffer and be miserable about it.
Those poor kids. Honestly…
How would she cope knowing he was away to work for 11 or 12 hours a day, 5 days a week? I mean, that’s like giving up your husband for 40% of the year!Just say Sinbad left the Navy, I think they’d be separated within a year.

For a mum account, she’s so tone deaf. It’s tough when you don’t feel well and you’ve got small people depending on you but what does she think single parents/widows do? You hit the nail on the head, compared to a lot of others she really doesn’t have a lot coming over her. She’s so self-centredHow would she cope knowing he was away to work for 11 or 12 hours a day, 5 days a week? I mean, that’s like giving up your husband for 40% of the year!
Especially if Sarah continues with the enforced ballet and tap lessons. It’s clear that Isla doesn’t want to be in dresses or skirts and that’s totally fine. She wears trousers or shorts to school every day and lives in football kits or jeans outside of school.I have to say the Rice Krispy photo made me worry even more about Isla. You can tell that the child is naturally bigger boned and I just dread to think how her teenage years are going to be with a Mother starving herself and still trying to shoehorn her into clothes 2 sizes too small. If Isla makes it to 18 without an absolute raging ED I’ll be completely amazed.
No its not normal and it’s happening because of Sarahs own attitude and behaviour around it. Those kids are hearing & seeing all the negative things shes putting out there and are mirroring it back. If Sarah was positive and upbeat and was putting a happy spin on it the kids would be far better. Sarah in my opinion is doing this deliberately - she’s deliberately choosing to have this down in the mouth negative miserable attitude and shes doing it to emotionally manipulate Rob, its so transparent. Shes bleeping those kids up mentally & emotionally and it’s honestly a disgraceI have absolutely zero experience with a military partner so someone educate me please but is it normal for her kids to struggle this much with deployments when it's all they've ever known? Not the same thing but I have friends whose partners work ad-hoc offshore so can be called away for a couple of months out of nowhere & if anything the kids deal with it better than the adults, they seem to just adapt & I've always put this down to it being their normality.
