She said on her story she's like this because of her childhood and she said her kids don't know what's going on but that is utter bollocks. She's acting like this in front of them, of course they know what's going on especially if Harper is having to baby her! Her kids will end up the same as her because what she isn't realising is this is THEIR childhood.

the kids must watch the videos anyway or at least hear her discussing it kids are not silly and know exactly whats going on around them
 
I’ve had periods of crippling anxiety over the last 20 years of my life. It’s eased off a lot now but I need to be busy. I need to be on the go, with stuff to do, keeping my mind going and then I can happily relax at night.
I’ve been at the point where I couldn’t walk into a supermarket, couldn’t drive further than a mile, didn’t leave my house for months unless it was absolutely essential and then it was horrendous and I mean horrendous panicking or panicking I was about to take a panic attack. I had small kids at the time, I gradually got over it by going back to work etc….I know it’s not that easy for everyone.
What I’m saying is, when I was at my lowest, you couldn’t have paid me to go on a plane anywhere, never mind america. The taxi to the airport would have been enough for me. I physically and mentally could not have done it. I still couldn’t get on a plane without another adult with me just for reassurance. She talks absolute bullshit and has no idea what real anxiety is.
 
Just watched them videos and wow
I get it you’re anxious and I feel for anyone who’s anxious, but you’re a mum this is your daughters moment and this is all about you and your anxiety
 
I get they all want to go out and support her.. but for a whole month? And they can’t afford food 3 times a day?! If you couldn’t afford it I wouldn’t take all of my kids… me and my mr were discussing this and said we’d do 2 alternate weeks out there to keep costs down and that way the kids could start back at school too. I get it’s not for everyone and we’d all do it differently but 6 people out in la for a month is gonna cost a fortune.. she’s saying $200 a day for food yet before she left she was still buying random tit and getting takeaways. I just don’t get why the WHOLE family needed to go if they couldn’t afford it 🤔
 
I actually think they could have saved so much money if they planned it better. They could have booked an Airbnb just outside LA, hired a car, bought groceries and then cooked at home everyday whilst also doing day outs with kids. She is utterly lazy and it shows because they couldn't be arsed to do any research, planning or put any thought into it.

I think she was hanging on to see if she got anything gifted, and then all of a sudden it was too late!

Too much effort that though isn’t it.. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Easier to just get takeaway 3 times a day and then moan she can’t afford it

I wonder do AGT provide the hotel room too? I mean they all fit into the one room so maybe it’s cheaper or it’s free, not sure how it works with AGT. 100% would’ve been better in a wee air bnb with more than one room, they are going to go crazy. I remember my sister did a hotel room in a New York but when I went with her the next time, we did an Airbnb and it was brilliant. You could really explore, do the subway etc instead of just confined to one area and one cramped room. She’s saying they want to travel to Las Vegas as well, I’m not sure that will be ideal with those three kids, I’d be going batshit crazy by now 😂🙈 I think the month long holiday is really going to take its toll eventually, it’s only been 5 days and the kids look bored out of their mind.

I think they do as she said if Harper doesn’t make the final they will have to find somewhere else to stay and that’s why they need a car so they can go to a cheaper area x

it seems absolutely crazy to me to go for a month (with 3 kids!) knowing there’s A chance you have to go to a different hotel/house, I assume they haven’t arranged anything as they don’t have a clue if she will get through or not….i can see doing this as a couple but with 3 kids, my anxiety would be sky high too!

they should have done 2 weeks, then let her dad do the other 2 weeks! They look miserable tbh
 
She doesn’t seem very organised she’s like a hormonal teenager

It’s like she needs a mum there to organise all the kids ( her included )
 
I’ve watched Hannah’s videos for the longest time and always been a silent viewer. I understand how difficult anxiety makes being able to do normal everyday things. It’s one of the worst feelings mentally, especially when you can’t do something as simple as go to the shop which is up the road from you, or get in the car and go to somewhere close by. I really do feel for Hannah and I understand exactly how she feels. There’s no way I’d be able to go to somewhere like LA feeling like that, I’ve been abroad before when I was experiencing extremely bad anxiety and I lived in hell for 10 days. I did not let that affect the holiday of the people who I was with, they enjoyed every minute of it and I did not get in the way of that. I wouldn’t wish anybody to suffer in silence but this is her daughters time, the whole reason they’re there. I would be so upset if I ‘didn’t know’ why my mum was being like this at a time where I was wanting her support. I’d also be just as upset if I didn’t know why my mum was being like this, but she told thousands of people on the internet why. As someone who is on medication for anxiety and depression, it is 100% important to sit your children down and explain to them in an appropriate way what you are taking and why you are taking that, even more so if you could tell thousands of strangers then your children should definitely be aware. The older girls should have been spoken to about this. I would also never expect my children to baby me as that is not their job. I really can see how much she is struggling if she can’t go with Harper to do all these things for agt after looking forward to it for so long seen as she couldn’t be there for her audition, but explain to her why. Don’t leave her feeling confused, and as though she’s an inconvenience. You don’t want your child to experience one of the best times of their life that they are going to remember forever and tell their own children about, to have a memory of you complaining on your phone to thousands of people about how you feel and everything that’s going wrong. Yes annoying things have happened, but it’s starting to come across that nobody actually wants to be there. Enjoy this opportunity as much as possible I know it can be hard when dealing with anxiety, but if you are going to be documenting it to show strangers who won’t ever get an opportunity like that, actually make it seem like you’re grateful, make the most of it and make it a special time for you and your family!
