I’m not sure I expect her to get pregnant again. Something tells me that they won’t have a second. This is pure speculation but I think she’s having a much harder time adjusting to parenthood than she (they) anticipated.
She’s looked exhausted in all of her videos (or at least the stills y’all share here), her content is still shite, and there was that thing with her selling Ralph’s clothes. It seems odd to sell clothes when you’re expecting to get pregnant again.
We have a 3 week old and will 99% not have another but we’re hanging on to everything because we might change our minds. Why buy it all over again, or in Anna’s case beg for it again.

Let me be clear: I’m not at all judging her for having a difficult time adjusting to pregnancy. It’s just the typical Anna brush it under the rug and pretend everything is perfect nonsense again. It’d much more refreshing if she were like “yeah, this parenthood thing is bonkers, we’re exhausted, and I’m not loving it like I thought I would. Plus, my hormones and emotions have gone haywire.”

You'd think she might even hang onto baby/maternity clothes just in case her sister ever has a baby, I find it really strange that she started selling it all so early on. It's not like they're lacking in space for storage!

Congratulations on your newborn! ♥️♥️
 
That reasoning would make sense for a normal person but Anna will just get all new clothes gifted for a second baby. She was prob selling clothes she hadn't even paid for so she was making money. If she has a second baby and gets all new clothes she can do that twice rather than once if she kept the clothes. I could see mark wanting a big brood and I think that'll be the deciding factor.
 
I am feeling charitable today so I will say that I do think, in a way, being an influencer must SUCK. I would never want to do it because I think having no separation between your work and life and actually having to be on social media apps a lot is a really easy way to feel tit about yourself / get poor mental health. So if this is the case for her I get why she has been pulling back, and reckon she is likely experimenting with doing just enough to make money whilst she comes up with a different plan. Likely the same with Lily too. As someone that was totally spun out by having a kid (prob bc of extremely traumatic birth / aka nearly dying) I also relate to the idea that they both have found it hard to adjust to #momlife.

Also the other thing i keep remebering every now and then is that most people (at least people i know) take a whole year off after having a kid for a very good reason (healing themselves, bonding with baby, not sleeping), so perhaps we should cut them some slack for their (clearly) very part-time work.

LOL not sure why I am feeling so kind today.

Nobody here would begrudge her a longer leave for looking after the baby. In fact, what many people rightfully complain about is that she is churning out loads of badly made repetitive videos rather than fewer, better quality outputs.

Her parental leave options are also vastly different from most other people's- many new mums take the full year because it's the only baby time they ever get, before having to return to a full-time job plus commute, while their partner isn't taking any time out at all. Lots of people also don't have a support network in the shape of family or long-term friends. She has a partner whose only job is to support her, no commutes, and additional free childcare from her parents. And that THIS is the result naturally makes people come to all kinds of conclusions.

Yeah that's very true, my only counter to that is that so many women i know have partners/husbands that are quite tit with their kids or at least no way near as good as they are (usually they just don't pick up on what the kids need on an emotional level, or blow a fuse really easily etc. etc.) and in the first year (okay two) my kid certainly needed ME rather than my other half (milk, cuddles) so whilst mawk is THERE, he might not actually be useful in any way. But I know NOTHING about him so that really might not be the case. But omg having a baby is so hard on a relationship, I can't imagine how insane I would have gone if my other half was at home all day whilst I was on mat leave lol.

He can’t even do the washing she needs for work. Men get so many excuses made for them
 
Nanna is extremely privileged in that she literally does the bare minimum for a living. She is worlds away from us average folks who have to actually work full time and commute to pay bills.
I don't have much sympathy for her because she specifically chose this as a career and capitalised on showing off her personal life in the form of vlogs and what not. She can't have it both ways and she is coming to that realisation. She has a whole village to help with Ralph, can easily afford child care, husband works for her, literally does the bare minimum, no commuting or nursery fees, can claim tax from most lunches and beauty expenses. Hardly any reason to feel sorry for her!
