Just what I thought 😑 she is basically saying what everyone else sees for a long time I wounder has he any qualities she does like, shes just ripping into him for content definitely not a sign of a healthy marriage

His ability to reproduce seems to the only quality she likes about him. She’d be fuming if he did a video on annoying traits she has because she’s superwoman after all who is perfect in every way.
 
Doing a ‘goodwill gesture’ hiding vouchers but recording herself doing it for content to make money from it! I despise people who film themselves doing tit like this, just do it if you think it’s a nice idea, why film?? It’s like people who film themselves giving stuff to homeless people, so insincere and purely for their own narcissism and social media.

I honestly think she’s doing it to fill a void or something as she’s coming across as absolutely miserable recently.

yeah she did a video about how she’s been in a bad place, feeling worthless and like the kids deserve a better mum etc, seems like by doing this for them she thinks that will get her the validation in her head she needs that she is actually a good mum or something because she’s giving them these experiences.
She needs to get to the real root of the issue rather than booking trips that perk her up for the time being then she struggles again once it’s over and it’s back to daily life.

She said she felt the same when she had Harry but she only had 2 kids then, now she has 4 and the husband being away so much. I can understand how she could slip into feeling like that especially when she’ll not have much breathing space for herself but again they had more children in the situation they are in which puts so much of the load on Rachael. If I had struggled the way she did with Harry in their situation I’m not sure I’d have wanted any more even if deep down I didn’t feel like I was done having children. A mum’s mental health is important.

To be fair, I do take my hat off to her in some regards. My husband was away for a week and I’ve got three kids, one of them is 14 and fairly self sufficient and was away at her dads on the weekend and I felt like I was drowning. My youngest is 6 months almost and it was a lot. By all accounts it seems as though she has no support even when her partner is home he seems pretty useless. Although, to play devils advocate like you said, she clearly knew what she was getting herself into with the other two children after H as she’s said they were planned.

I have always had some form of admiration for how she manages it all, I couldn’t do it but I know my limits. However she made it clear that she found it hard with the 3 when Dale was away so just personally I don’t understand why you’d want to add more to your plate with another child knowing how hard you found it last time round. Maybe that’s just me. She pushes herself so much to go above with the activities she takes them to and the caravan holiday on her own with them all etc and praise to her for it but it seems to be coming at a cost to her and piling up in her mentally.
 
I only have one and struggled hugely when he was born I went through stages of wanting another but I’ve decided no… no hate to anyone but I just don’t see why anyone puts themselves through it a second time the sleepless nights etc I honestly take my hat off to anyone who has multiples… I can’t imagine anything worse than a newborn and a toddler 😂
 
She seems to have decent help from grandparents.Im
not discrediting the fact her husband works away for weeks at a time,it must be exhausting for her but some people have 0 help outside of their home
 
Just watched her latest video about not putting the kids online from here on out and whilst I commend her for that all I was thinking whilst watching is, are you ok?!
Like others have said she did find it hard after her first boy and it looks/sounds like she’s struggling again. I hope she gets some help because she seems like a shell of the person she used to be in her videos. I thought it was quite sad.

she said in a response on her video the other day when someone asked if she no longer shows the kids that it’s her biggest regret putting the kids on TikTok. I’m glad people are doing more to protect their kids online but pictures and videos of children being taken from social media accounts isn’t a new or recent thing and she acts like she was naive or oblivious to the fact there were dangers of putting her kids out there. It was different when the kids particularly Ellie with her mum a daughter conversations and Emily with her “how was your night” every day was good content for her.

Even aside from her kids and how she’s clearly struggling, you see that so often with tiktokers who start to do it more full-time or frequently post, after a bit of time it doesn’t look fun or enjoyable to them anymore, it’s like it’s a chore for them to post and like they are having to rather than wanting to and that shows in how they come across in videos. Especially the ones that have to make money from it rather than just something they enjoy doing as a hobby.
 
Am I the only one that thinks her hot chocolate station looks proper naff? I think it's because its on one of those black trays like what you would get in a cafe. When other people do them they are normally on nice stands or fancy wooden boards.

The phrase hot chocolate station makes me want to gauge my own eyeballs out. Buy a jar of cadburys and put it in the cupboard.

it’s just another social media fad to make parents feel like they should be doing stuff like that for their kids. Really only one or two of her kids will be able to ask for a hot chocolate so what’s the point in a hot chocolate “station”. Just something else sat on the kitchen counter to take up space that would drive me mad 😂
