It will take a few days for things to happen, if social services get involved, which I suspect they will given she’s had a history with the health visitor etc as mentioned in other posts.
I suspect that if the kids went to their dad full time, she’d loose financial support, and I have a feeling that’s one of the reasons she has them, is that it’s more beneficial for her financially. She clearly doesn’t enjoy parenting and has mental health stuff happening.

I wonder if the dad would take them full time.
I don’t feel sorry for her, she’s blasted her private parenting failure to the internet. She can’t have thought that someone wouldn’t react.
I wonder if she didn’t even do it deliberately to attract attention.

What a mess.

That would make sense (financial reasons). Although if she didn’t have the girls full time, then maybe she can go back to live and work in London and be so much happier and more successful there 🙄
 
Honestly I don’t think social services will do much. She has not hurt the children. They are fed. Shes not locking them in their rooms to go out drinking all night or anything like that.
In spite of what some people say the threshold for social services intervening is high. At this point they would most likely be offering support.

Yeah. They won’t take the kids. However the throwing a plate and screaming thing may trigger some intervention of some kind, and the kids dad should be told, and she should be offered some sort of support. Unfortunately, ultimately it’s up to her though. If she thinks an adhd diagnosis and medication will solve her problems it won’t.
 
I too doubt SS will do much other than offer support, but I believe the incident should be formally noted somewhere. I have a feeling these incidents will become more common as Anna juggles now having a job as well as having to parent two kids. She’ll be ok and on a high for a bit when she gets her next boyfriend, but when that inevitably ends she’ll be back to where she is now.

Hard disagree from someone in the sector. There will be an assessment and it will likely be decided that they fall under child in need, not child in danger. They will all be given more support including Anna. Could be that they go to the dads full time for a bit (usually a week or so) while they establish what Anna wants/needs to be the best parent she can be.
(Sorry just reread and that’s exactly what you said 🤦‍♀️)

But that’s exactly what SS does, provide support. It will be recorded and schools etc will all be made aware.

Maybe she’s hoping they’ll bump her up the adhd assessment list

If she thinks ADHD meds will fix things she’s got a shock coming.

she’ll be pissed off and worried her brand work will be impacted, which in reality it should. You can’t sell insta mum life whilst disclosing you’ve been emotionally abusing your kids. If an adult did what she did to another adult It would be regarded as abuse. It’s not ok to do it to a child.
 
Hopefully the kids get support, they don’t deserve to be having their dinner thrown across the room!

I don’t know how Anna can constantly go on about the way her mum was with her as a child and be so self unaware as to see she is repeating the behaviour. Most people would try their hardest to break the cycle for their kids benefit.

Probably. Because ADHD meds automatically fix everything overnight. Grow up and take some accountability Anna 🙄 it’s not always all about YOU. Your poor daughters must be terrified when you lose your tit at them.

100% she’s trying to pin everything on adhd. Even if she does have it, the meds aren’t going to make her a better parent. I truly believe she just simply shouldn’t be a mum. I honestly cannot believe that incident happened. When my kids don’t eat their dinner it can be frustrating but an eye roll will suffice
 
She really has nailed the art of the soft launch.
First we see the the coffee and cake with a half eaten biscuit just within shot.
Next is the middle aged man looking through records… I bet he’s eaten a biscuit.
Then 3 dishes, two of which she names as for her…
All that’s missing is a hairy wrist in the corner of the cocktail shot.
 
She can claim that house is as full of fun as she likes, it doesn't mean it's true.

And that certainly is not the vibe she herself portrays - so, which is it. Are we just trying desperately to paper over the cracks? Has she realised that what she confessed absolutely was outside the the land of witty Mum gripes and we'll within abusive household territory and now she's trying to back track? Mm.
 
She was talk of the office this morning (i work in PR and we occasionally work with celebs / influencers) Anyway, colleague just sent me a screen grab of clearly her being largely spoken about in a blogging group. Context behind it is she’s been reported to SS. Glad even amongst the same kind as her, they can see how vile it is. I’m sure this will destroy her ego

Wow. That’s very clearly about her and this person is spot on.
