Mother Pukka #8 Everything is a lie, isn’t it?

Dont be so hard on Anna! She’s out there on the red carpet jungle smashing stigmas, day and night. Shes currently smashing the stigma of newborn cocooning. Our modern day crisp packet addled society places huge pressure on newborns to be home, napping, being fed, cuddled changed and cared for when what they really want is to be out and about spitting up on red carpets, freezing their pee addled nappies at footie matches, being held by germ addled strangers. Our babies are being swaddled at home for months when they could be out and about getting photographed at every crisp packet opening from here to Mile End, making vital connections, networking and just doing their baby thing ! Way to go Anna, signed the rest of us silly mums!

I'd rather have my wonderful neurodivergent child than some idiot child who seems to have been sucked into the latest non binary bullshit fad who can't think for themselves and is following all their friends. I'd shut that tit right down as their mother. If she wants to be crappy about my ASD child then there's a lot of things I could say about her eldest and the state of them at that film premiere. Not nice is it Anna?!

I’d be careful saying transphobic stuff like that as a parent of an autistic child, gender non conformity is extremely common amongst autistic tweens and teenagers (adults too). I have an autistic non binary child, and it’s not a ‘bullshit fad’. I agree that using the term Aspergers is completely awful and wrong, and I think she’s a dick for posting it, but there’s no need to attack her child/step child

She attacks my child, I'll attack hers. I'll agree to disagree on the bullshit fad thing but she wants to be crappy about ND I can be crappy right back. I'm not transphobic at all, you're male or female, stating facts isn't prejudice
 
In fairness I don’t think Anna attacked anyone’s child. She used an offensive term during a typically shallow and self-serving attempt to gain attention and praise for herself. She did it in a typically thick and pig-ignorant way. When called out she rejected any attempt to be accountable and learn.

I don’t think she has an agenda against neurodivergent children, I think she doesn’t really think about them or want to think about them unless in a very superficial way to promote her own agenda.

I don’t really like people referring to her children’s appearance on here. She shouldn’t be sharing them at all but I’m sure they’re having a hard enough time as it is with all of this going on.
 
I also don’t think she’s attacked anyone’s children. What she has consistently done over years however is perpetuate prejudices and ignorance through her stupid teachable moment posts. This includes racist and ableist content.
I don’t feel comfortable reading criticism about her kids either. But I do find it interesting that she chooses to do her lazy armchair campaigning for whoever Juliette is (if she’s even real - my money is on it being a completely fabricated anecdote that’s back fired, much like post partum psychosis and crisp packet and everything else) but not for something that should be very real to her and right at home - whether that’s lgbtq+ or gender politics.

I think you’re absolutely right. A child should never be attacked or have their gender, appearance etc discussed online.
I don’t think she ever set out to attack ND kids but she is just so ignorant and can’t cope with people calling her out as she wants her Instagram to be an echo chamber that reflects how utterly marvellous she is 🙄
It’s not just the use of Aspergers or the refusing to remove the post that irks me. It’s her suggestion that ND kids should provoke empathy - it just adds to the stigma that they’re ‘less’ than other kids - less fortunate, less appealing, less likely to be included etc.

I found her cringe attempt to tell us that we should be kind (ie feel sorry for them) at Christmas time. It’s just posted there to make her look good when she clearly has no real understanding or lived experience of autism.
 
She used an offensive term/label whether she sought out to attack is irrelevant, she was crappy about ND children, ignorance is no excuse. As for her kids, she chose to monetise them, she chose to have them be public figures, if they weren't there'd be nothing to comment on. I would never post my child online, it's my job to protect her, Anna obviously doesn't care what people think/say about her kids
 
And the admission that she is working.
