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

1
She’s taking ‘having a nanny’ giving her an option to be out of the house sans baby and running with it- she’s got zero maternal instinct. The newborn stage is 3 months she will never get back- she knows that, she’s done it twice before. There’s something really wrong and I hope she slows the duck down and looks after that poor baby and her girls/
 
Anna’s “maternity leave/service” was just nonsense lip service to appear ReLaTaBLe with her fawning lemmings. Of course she doesn’t have mat leave - she’s a freelancer. It’s just called not working, which can be done at any time anyway. She may or may not get called back to her once a week Sunday night graveyard shift at the radio station.
influencing isn’t gainful employment either. Gifted holidays and sporadic ad posts does not pay her bills or rent. Hinge Chin does that.
If influencing is her “job”, then why is she “working” when allegedly on maternity service? Which goes to show that her constant social media posting is wholly for her sad addiction to feed her loneliness.

I’m only planning on 1 kid so trying to really soak up newborn period even when it’s hard. She’s had another chance after probably thinking she was done with the 2 girls

Exactly this. I always said after my first that if I’d have known how quick those first 12 week go I’d have enjoyed them more. It feels so hard when you’re in the thick of it and all those hormones are flying around (‘hormonal fog’ as Anna would put it) but it really does go in the blink of an eye and I think she’ll look back and feel so sad and regretful that she hasn’t stayed at home and soaked it all in….or maybe she won’t, because she’s a selfish twit putting her social media ‘career’ above her baby 🙃

but she’s “doing it for HER”

if Content was a boy I doubt she’d be making this much fuss about doing whatever “it” is for him. It’s a faux feminist sideshow.

The rest of us are making the most of our limited mat leave allocation to actually BE with our babies
 
but she’s “doing it for HER”

This is a good point. She has been shouting from the rooftops since the divorce that a mother's happiness is a priority so she'll probably come out with some defensive article or feature soon all about how "I needed to get ME back after having my content baby - and I'm not sorry about it"

At this rate she should be paying us for her article inspiration. I’m sure there is so much nonsense on here and her articles that chat GP can basically write her articles for her now- break a stigma, make sure you say visceral and mention feeling like a crisp packet……oh and something about feeling like a cow/tits get a mention.
 
My ex husband's girlfriend posted a photo of my children on her public Instagram. I was furious. I checked with a solicitor friend who said that my refusal of permission meant it could not be done again - if that makes sense. I emailed him to ask her to take it down and for her not to post again. This includes photos that have a dot over their faces btw. It's so hurtful for the other parent and totally unnecessary
 
That must be so annoying. And for the new partner to post photos of step kids is just so unnecessary (faces blurred or not). Posting photos of any kid on a public insta is unnecessary. Anna banging on about family of 7 (which is a whole load of bullshit considering she only sees her kids by ThE Ex for half the time and baby content is left with only fans nanny and chinny’s kids are there every other weekend at most) is an inflammatory tactic that serves no purpose other than to annoy 24/7 chinny’s ex.
Family of 7, mother of 5. Anna, stop. Nobody cares.

The daily stigma smashing by going out on the town must be exhausting for a new mum.

odds on her saying in a few months time that she felt pressure to keep up her social media and it’s all the fault of society etc etc etc

And isn't this what the man formerly known as PapaPukka said when she EVENTUALLY took proper maternity leave after their second child? That she'd pushed herself too much only having 2 weeks off etc etc before going back to "the cause"? She's got form for rushing back to work/life and if she's to be believed it did her mental health 0 favours after her last pregnancy. So why, oh WHY, is she not making the most of not having to do much?? And more to the point- is NO ONE in her life telling her to slow the duck down knowing her claimed history? With 4 other kids in and out of the house on whatever rota, a spicy nanny on tap, and the Chin earning in the region of amounts that have been speculated here she could just relax and enjoy the time. I get not wanting to just fester on the sofa for weeks but a friend round, meeting up for strolls with the baby, or coffee dates with friends and lots and lots of chilling and snuggling is surely the order of the day. Not pubs, holidays, and getting glammed up in a shapeless frock every couple of days!

It's completely bonkers. I don't understand any of it and while it's each to their own with how you live your life and Content Baby will be oblivious to it all at the minute, I hate to think of the impact it's having on her older two. Even if her and Matt do week on/week off custody, she has been going to at least one thing every week, so there must be times she's leaving her bigger girls at home to go off to these events. It's been such an unstable year for them with parents separating, both meeting new partners and then getting a new baby half sister, plus they're moving between parents constantly as per custody arrangements. What they need is lots of love and homely family time with whichever parent they're staying with - not being palmed off on the sex positive nanny while mummy goes to the opening of an envelope.

Has anyone figured out if she's more active with events on alternate weeks?

Maternity ‘service’ doesn’t make sense - have I missed something and if so please can someone explain?

Thank you

A phrase designed to imply that women don't *just* take time off postpartum to look after their children in their first months and to allow their bodies and minds to recover from birth, they are in fact serving The World by Raising the Future!!

I only have one and that's very much how I've approached it, just enjoy each phase as it happens (grit your teeth and endure others!) because the time moves too fast.

I came across this woman when I was having issues going back to work after maternity leave... thought all the legislation she was trying to push through would be so good for preventing my situation from happening, but after looking at the actual policies and legislation (as someone who is a legislative drafter) there are so many bloody holes in it that I'm more inclined to believe she's actually doing all this for extra publicity as an 'influencer' rather than anything else!!
 
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.
