She definitely should have stayed childfree. But she didn't want to lose Shoreham's Ryan Gosling to another woman who would have a child with him so she folded and had Ralph. And now we have a prime example of what happens when people force women to have children when they are not ready or willing to have one. I actually feel for her (as a childfree woman myself) as she's stuck with an irreversible decision forever.
 
Not even Lily would go on holiday without her kids (not even her daughter whom she seems to treat like an afterthought).
I hope nobody is offended at this. I do think that parents totally deserve alone time. But we’re talking about a woman with the cushiest job ever, with a husband who does basically nothing. She can work part time. She gets most of her things for free. She can take weeks off work only to return to do the bare minimum. And she acts like…this.

Now that I think about it, maybe a lot of this has to do with her obsession with Mark. Watching her old vlogs made me realize how utterly obsessed she’s always been with him. She structured her whole day around him being home. Wouldn’t do workouts if he wasn’t there. Only went out when it was clear he’d be at work. Sat in a freezing apartment because he said they needed to save on the heating. Then she took it upon herself to give him a job while also making him feel like he’s the boss and the one who really runs their business. And acted like all her female followers were also in love with him.
Maybe part of her resenting motherhood is the fact that she has less time for Mark? Or that she has to share him with their child?

Am I totally making this up, or in a Q&A a few years ago when she said she wasn't sure about wanting kids, did she say she didn't want to share Mark? Not sure if it was just something that was discussed at the time or if she actually said it.

When he used to get up at 5.30 to travel to London for his job, Anna would get up then too. My husband & I would never do that.
Although I thought it lazy of Anna when they were in the flat, that she would save all the housework so they could do it together at the weekend. When my husband had had a long commute & I've been working at home, I've made an effort to do more of the housework during the week as I haven't had a commute.

I remember she said she loved their life and didn't want it to change/was fearful of the impact a child would have of their lifestyle. She liked it just being the two of them. I can't remember what else she said, but she spoke on the subject a few times on the podcast.
 
Who is she kidding with this "I started a Substack after having this brilliant idea on holiday!" Girl, please. This has 100% been in the works based on recommendations from her management so she can capitalize even more on her 30-something subscriber base. The fact she's moving her weekly clothing edits and the newsletter ("pausing" it lol) to Substack and then MAKING PEOPLE PAY FOR AFFILIATE LINKS AND SOME BADLY WRITTEN STYLE "ADVICE" is extortion. The idiots playing £5 for this on a monthly basis are dumb plain and simple.

I kind of get the impression her tune changed because her peers were starting to have kids and were using it for content. It's a little bitter I know, but I also agree that she probably didn't really want Ralph, but went along with it anyway. Parents deserve time away from their kids, but she always sounds so "haha my kid is an inconvenience haha so relatable right?!" She is a Virgo after all and a child is...unpredictable🙄😂

I have friends who have breaks away from their kids but none of them leave them for as long as a week or come back celebrating how great it was to be without them. Most love it for a day or two and then want them back because they miss them. This is quite sad how bitter she seems towards him - unless she's trying to join the cool influencer mums who moan about their kids online (they all seem to do it)

We had a couple of weekends away when our children were young which were fabulous, but I could never have left them for a week and we always stayed in UK. Maybe I’m a soft touch but I just couldn’t do it!

I've left mine for 1 night with my partner / mum and I found it really hard!! I think it's normal ... as I said before I have never heard of anyone doing this. And when I see people like the Kardashians doing it on telly I always think it's really weird!!
 
I find her sacking off her kid for the "first foreign holiday in 4 years" (/side note let me get out the worlds smallest violin and play a tune seeing as she spends thousands on shopping every month, talk about getting your priorities out of order) utterly bizarre, a few of my friends have become parents over the past couple of years and they got immense joy taking their kids to trips abroad for the first time post lockdown restrictions easing, just look at Lily taking her kids to South Africa etc.

The way she writes in her instagram story posts - e.g. enjoying the diet coke and crisps in the afternoon makes me think she is yearning for a child free existence as others have pointed out, how sad for her kid 🥺
