A lot of larger companies have done a u turn on flexible working (my knowledge is with finance/ banking) and decided they wanted staff back in (too many taking the mickey, plus juniors not learning off seniors etc). However, comes Friday a lot of people also WFH (unless you’re a junior or admin).

Raising the Future. 🤮
 
It genuinely took me a year, if not more to fully recover after both my births. And I was young and physically fit. I honestly don't know how she's doing this. She's not even acknowledged what her body has been through as a 40+ woman going through her third pregnancy. I know everyone is different but come on, there must have been some genuine struggles!!!
 
I think she’s in complete denial as her means of coping.
She’s in denial she accidentally fell preggers,
she’s in denial that’s she’s not worried Chin’s going to up and leave her,
she’s in denial she’s just had a baby because ‘she can have it all - career, family, new baby, attend the opening of an envelope ’
She’s in denial she’s probably exhausted, but hey keep calm and pretend all is ok

I really hope she has some sort of support unit around her but I suspect she won’t be told.

She’s in denial but she wants this. She never liked parenting and this time is no different.
Chinny Pukka must already be back on hinge and her way to not feel like she’s disappearing (when it’s actually just parenting) is to be Mother Puffa out and about at every free to register event and get any sliver of attention while Nanny Pukka is at home posting about abortion anniversaries and updating only fans content while baby sitting.

Things that actually help the feminist cause:

- Encouraging men to take paternity leave, so that the burden of parenting (and the career hit) is not something that only happens to women

- Acknowledging the value and labour involved in the work of parenting so that society recognises the effort it takes to raise a child (whether by men, women or professional childcare)

- Transparency around childcare so parents do not feel pressure to keep up with others who have greater access to paid or unpaid help

Things that do not help the feminist cause:

- Suggesting it is normal to be out solo every night when you have a newborn

- Suggesting that you are out solo every night FOR that newborn, because there is only value in publicly facing acclaimed work, and not in the boring old grunt work of mothering

- Rage baiting abortion-iversary posts

- Performative ‘juggling’ where you breastfeed on the red carpet one night and leave the baby with your live-in nanny the next

They’re sh*t feminists.

Well said!

I don't know how she has the energy. My baby is 4 months and spent the entirety of last night latched to my tit. I can barely make it down the road to drop my older kids at school, let alone go out for the evening. Her baby is breastfed - doesn't she just want to feed all evening?! That's what all my newborns have done.

Even if her baby isn't breastfed or attached to her (mine were breastfed for a few months - but not attached all the time), why doesn't she just want to be at home with her baby and family? It's like she is allergic to slow family time and recovery at this point.

This is the BEST time of the year to hibernate and be cosy!
 
She’s so busy but weirdly not busy with real things? In December between actual friends’ parties, obligatory work things and my kids’ stuff I am turning down any invitation I can get away with. How can she find the energy to drag herself out for this level of stuff?

She has the same kind of manic energy I did when I was 22 and my bf dumped me and I felt sad and lonely so I went out every night attempting to look busy and cool and fabulous. Spoiler alert: it was tiring and he obv didn’t notice. Sad to see when she has 3 kids, supposedly a happy relationship and a newborn at home.
 
That’s the thing though. It’s all bullshit stuff she’s doing, that no one cares about.

I’m busy with 4 kids right now, but it’s having their friends and thier parents over, nativity plays, church plays, school events and performances in the evenings, seeing family and friends. Not going alone to places that no one cares if I attend or not.
 
She's got to show Chin she's still the cool, media chick who stalked him to Thailand and then got pregnant.
All she was meant to be was a short term GLFS, if it wasn't for an innocent life brought into this mess to 'win' the divorce (as somebody mentioned up-thread) I would say they both deserve the inevitable nasty fallout because she's not letting go of him in a hurry and it appears he's checked out already.

Ha, yeah. I mean, I spent 3 hours last night at my youngest school with some other parents helping some staff get the nativity costumes ready and patched up for another year.

Not exactly GLFS material, am I 🤣

It’s those things that contribute to that sense of community, or rather, the “village” that Anna refers to when bullshitting about how difficult her life is as a parent (when she shipped off her kids to her mum). If you don’t show up to get stuck in, there is no chance at making a network or building any form of community, no matter how superficial.
Someone a few threads ago mentioned she wasn’t involved in school events, play dates or anything at her kids’ school. Considering she’s a freelancer who should have the privilege of flexibility, that just seems so sad for her kids.

She's a celebrity GLFS and doesn't want to be papped doing something as mumsy as helping out the PTA coz that won't give Hinge Chin the horn, will it?

Absolutely. I am a freelancer because of my kids! I shifted my entire career post-kids so I can volunteer, help and show up for my kids. I know I am very lucky to be able to do so, but I love it. There's lots of thankless jobs involved in this mum "village".
