We are forces, it was originally why I started following the tit show that is This Mama Life however I absolutely cannot fathom the way she goes about these deployments…
Firstly if you need to go and see your loved one off cool, many, including kids do need that closure however I honestly just can’t understand how unauthentic the whole thing must feel, setting up cameras, directing childrens actions and positions, thinking of the interaction as a scene and what it will look like to edit, It just all feels so grimy and insincere not to mention really terrible parenting…
I would love someone who has witnessed Sarah’s circus act to come and spill the T on what it actually looks like and what all the ship families/partners really think.
Secondly and this is just my MO I cannot stand all the tit you can buy to make every day feel as miserable as possible, sweet counting jars, personalised pillows, wipe boards where can kids can move a magnet along each day and fill in a happy/sad face to supposedly help with their emotions, not to mention the virtual signalling woe is me reels and daily updates on how hard it is for them all, it’s just so counterproductive, “Look kids it’s time to eat your 18th Bon Bon of 246 and collage some tears to show how you feel about your Daddy missing your birthday”
duck that for a laugh.
Im a parent to 3 girls and I was so hard on them when my husband was away, of course they had times when they were sad and needed a hug or a bit of extra support but they categorically weren’t allowed to dwell, we have a moan, pick ourselves up, dust off and get on with it. The Calendar was full, I kept the treat and wine cupboard stocked and we looked forward and to fun times ahead and as their mum it was my job to keep that positive mindset.
Sarah almost seems to like indulging in the misery and in turn makes her little people miserable too.
Such a dysfunctional family!
