I'm sure she's sharing the content with Alf pretty much on top of Ada again because we comment on it, but honestly how on earth can she think that's appropriate? I don't know anyone else with children who would allow that to continue (much less just film it for her stories) - she doesn't have a clue how to look after either of her children

I don’t really understand why they moved to Brentwood when they know no one there, and she isn’t prepared to make new friends.

But then I suppose they couldn’t afford London, and Frinton isn’t cool enough/too far a commute for when TNB can’t work in the shed.

I think she could have afforded London - wouldn’t have the huge house but she still has her flat as well as this £1m+ property.

I think Tommy Tickle is a spoilt mummy’s boy. Nana wanted a grandchild and he told Ash how much help and childcare they’d get with being closer to her.

She was also probably naive about moving out of London (most people are). You view a massive house and they sell you the “only 20mins to Liverpool Street” and “the Elizabeth line is coming” lines. You think it’s the same as being on the tube in zone 3 or 4 but in reality it’s just not London. People don’t come and visit the way you think they might. You realise it’s actually quite a big trip with kids to “pop” back to town and people stop going back and forth as often.

She moved for the house and help, but resents the sacrifices that these things come with.

That’s the thing, she expected everyone to go to her in Essex (cos Narc) from London and they’ve finally realised she’s not worth the trek.
 
It doesn't matter where she lives, she wouldn't make friends as she's far too self obsessed, and wouldn't put the effort in.

Has she got loads of friends in Battersea with kids? I don't think so, her only mum friend is her bestie in Cambridge. So what she really means is it would be nice to live closer to my friends so I can go out while TNB stays home with the kids.

She's made no effort to make friends in Brentwood. No baby groups or activities where you meet others in the same position and possibly become friends who spend weekends together, mum's nights out etc.
 
I know of at least four (Facebook) friends from primary school who live in the same town as Ash with kids almost the exact same ages as hers. They’ve all made mum friends locally through NCT, baby classes, nursery etc. Maybe if she looked further afield than fellow ‘celeb’ Lucy Meck, she’d realise there’s loads of other mums around (surprise surprise!) and make some friends.

Lucy Meck doesn't even want to be her friend

But she wouldn’t! I think she sees herself above it all. Don’t forget: she’s not a regular mum, she’s a cool mum.

Just seems weird that an Essex boy who actually seems to be able to make friends as a functioning adult, doesn’t have any local mates - unless they all dislike her.
