You know what gets me about Anna is she does something for 5 minutes and suddenly she’s the world’s expert at it. The arrogance.

parenting
Divorcing
Magpie-ing
Finding “love” after divorce
Getting up the duff in her 40s
STEP PARENTING 🥴

The famous two week hardship as a single parent.

Lalalaletmeexplain did seem to go straight from backtracking a bit about MP to then posting about particular situations where women put the new male partner first and all the things that can go wrong so I think she backtracked enough to keep the instahuns off her back but knows for sure what an utter tit show it is.

100% this. She’s not stupid. She knows how deranged it is (and her content shows why she knows) but if she said that out loud about MP the story would become about ‘beef’ between them and not highlighting the terrible things that can and do happen when you make these stupid hasty decisions.

I once dated a man like this. I was completely enthralled. I remember sitting in the back of a taxi and telling myself I had never felt so loved, when after four weeks he told me he wished he'd met me first and had his kids with me (and wanted me to have one with him). Funnily enough, three messy years later he was gone and I thank my lucky stars every day that I didn't agree to have that child with him.

This was my life, except I agreed to marry him (thankfully didn't, I left him 5 months before the wedding) and had a child with him (which I don't regret, as my son is amazing). It was a long, messy 7 years. I felt intoxicated.

Why is she not calling OLLY BRETTON her fiance?

Obama is the wrong shade for Anna, you know how she feels about brown people.

Reminds me of the Scummy Mummy who wrote a book on being divorced and happy when she was neither divorced nor happy. She must have got onto the publishing house within days of her separation to put that book into motion.

Yes! It's really starting to sound very calculated. She knew people were going to judge this bizarre whirlwind of insanity she's currently swirling around in (no doubt with a multitude of empty crisp packets) and she preemptively decided it was going to be A Cause. Except its backfiring because people are still judging AND pointing out that her prejudice is showing. Blended families have always existed, some harmoniously and some not. She's not reinventing the wheel or smashing any stigmas here!
And yes it's hugely disrespect to his ex to be referring to herself as his kids "mum". It's a bit vague, but I'm guessing his children don't live with them full time? Presumably nor do hers since they'll be spending time with their dad in whatever arrangement they have? So all 5 children being in the house wont be an all the time thing? And with the latest info that Stripey allegedly works 24/7 and is just barely able to "carve out an hour" to touch base with his kids it's starting to look like getting a new PeRsOn was a cheaper option than getting a nanny for the time he has his children... I said what I said.

And she's only ever speaking from her own very specific set of circumstances and experiences! The confidence/arrogance she has is astounding!

Well, she didn’t even directly tell her own kids she’s pregnant, she said in her podcast that his kids ‘did a presentation’ to her kids. I think this was supposed to make it sound all wholesome and ‘the kids are all FIIIIINE, they told each other, it’s very normal, please don’t ask me any more questions’, but, that’s really weird, isn’t it?

Whaaaat?

When my sister in law remarried and had a baby with the new man, she sat her children down and told them. Their first question was will you love the baby more than us. Which is natural to ask.

If she got that man’s children to tell her children, that is really not ok. And will only exacerbate their worry and insecurity.

That's the most mental thing I've ever read here on Tattle. Blimey.
 
When the whole peak instamums thing happened circa 2016 people like motherpukka, mother of daughters, DLAM, budget Clemmie etc were in the right place at the right time.
They all came from a background of privilege. And here they were being told how amazing, special and incredible they were by thousands. Given loads of free stuff- holidays, clothes, invited to events…
They all loved to ‘raise awareness’ - masturbation, real bodies, ‘pulling up the drawbridge’ 🤢 after giving birth etc etc
It must have been intoxicating and inflated their already big egos. They started to believe they were special. Remember MODs arrogance? Going on holiday for the plebs benefit? 😂
I think this is part of the issue- Anna genuinely believes that she is special. And her situation is special. When in reality blended families are the norm.
And most of us get dickmatized in our youth and learn the lesson then that it’s never gonna last.

I speed-listened to the podcast, I'm pretty sure she told her kids that she was preggo. Was the kids presentation not when they found out the gender!

So they told his kids first to test the water- a practice run. He phoned and said it was all good. She sat her kids down and told them and it was all fine then his kids came back to the house and revealed the gender to her kids and were super excited to tell them. I was so taken aback. To me that said he’s more important to her, his kids are more important, let’s deal with him and then il tell my kids. Then you’ve basically made a one up man ship where his kids are very much “we know something you don’t know” - so they knew first and they knew the gender first! bleeping hell! Fair enough one set of kids might need to be told first but then they should have sat them all down together and told them the gender. Shes basically so desperate to get his kids to adore her so he doesn’t run for the hills!

Oh my christ!!

Her children are about to have a massive change in their lives and she didn’t sit them down, alone, and speak to them, answer their questions in privacy? And they had to find out information from his kids? Absolute bleeping loon!

Sorry - just seen she said she spoke to them. But my God, kids need time to process information like that. Time to ask questions.

God the scummy mummies. There’s a hideous memory I had repressed. They were horrendous, especially the gold leotard camel toe one

His kids really shouldn’t have been given that power over hers.

I feel really sad for them.

It’s quite shocking to me that a mother would do that. selfishly, and for the sake of my children, actually, I would have been the one who wanted to tell my children that news. Not for them to feel like they are the last to know.

That is going to leave quite a wound. Could you imagine yourself in that situation as a child?

Anna wheeled them out for her 40th like they were performing monkeys. It was quite tragic.
 
Been away for a few days so lots to ponder…..

A good while ago I got blocked on my burner account for liking something that she didn’t like. She follows me on my other account so it didn’t block all my accounts. I’m now careful not to like anything even though I want to and I also want to respond to things. She can’t have an opinion on everything, call herself a journalist yet only allow discussions that centre around her beliefs. So blocking everyone is crazy- she’s making an echo chamber for herself. That ain’t life- totally obnoxious yet she claims to be so open for these discussions.

She’s claiming to be a step mum- how would she feel if Matt’s new girlfriend was calling herself a step mum? Slow down. What about not needing labels for everything? Now I believe olly has been single circa 5 years? So that means if one kid is 10 he’s been coparenting since that kid was 5 and the other one younger? No way has he been parenting as much as the ex if he also supposedly works 24/7. So that mum has done a lot of the work and along comes Anna giving herself a title of mum to kids she’s known 6 months. I could be with a new guy for 10 years and my kid would still be referring to him as my mums husband/partner because my kid has 2 parents and doesn’t need to be giving strangers labels so early on. If I was the ex I would defo be here sniffing around!

The podcast. I’ve only listened to that one episode. How is this a podcast? Is this what it’s like every time? It’s a podcast talking about Anna. Polly blink if you need help. Anna talking about how hard miscarriages were for her when she’s talking to someone with 2 kids that she had a terrible pregnancy with and may not make it to their 10th birthday is so insensitive. Anna being triggered by not being able to have a baby when she already has 2. How about Polly being triggered by every birthday and Xmas thinking it might be her last with her kid/kids- does Anna ever think about that stuff? Or how triggering it is when potentially Anna talks about how her kids are getting close to puberty etc whilst Polly sits there knowing she won’t have any of these issues but would desperately love to have them?

Having another baby- this is one upmanship on Anna’s part on the ex. Anna needs to show that she can give everything to Olly. She needs to be competitive, she needs to be better than everyone. She needs to seal the deal.

I think we think Olly is the issue/lovebomber, but realistically Anna is showing way more red flags- frightening!

Sorry, I got it wrong, but the actual version is somehow worse?!
