Lazy hobby mom says good morning from her bed when she’s been away for a week and everyone else cares for the kids and home. She’s hardly seen L but still lays in bed posting for her career job and making more content instead of cherishing some special time with her. Shane’s been putting her to bed every night and this morning instead of letting him rest she plunks back in bed. She is so selfish. My bet on their big fun day is heading to the mall to buy L’s love.
It really makes you wonder if she bursts into tears or gets violent when someone tries to ask for more support at home. Nothing bad has ever happened to Sarah, why is she so catered to? Shane has to have zero gumption to live this kind of life - money or not. I come from a very large family so many in-laws and from the in-law side there is always a hesitation to use the grandparent in-laws. I don’t think much of any of them but Shane has to feel like an ass passing of his kid while his wife is away playing.
It’s shocking how she treats L. She’s not a mother. She birthed a kid for attention and fame and then discarded the child. Anyone who questions her is attacked with a barrage of guilt; SHE never got to do “this” before. Sadly, she isn’t leaving L for a career or work. Attending movie premieres, parties, and football games isn’t work. She’s not paid to post about these activities. She’s given these activities in exchange for posts. That’s not work; that’s fun and partying. She’s not a CEO; she’s never been one. The only thing she’s built is a massive lie that pays. The most significant payment that enabled her to live this life came from Knix. This payment gave her a lot of money and access. Knix bought her a reputation as an empowered woman. Brands that need more marketing intellect followed suit. The result has been more power and prestige for Sarah and more landfill garbage for humanity: shelves stocked with merchandise that doesn’t sell, events that no one attends, photoshoots for vanity purposes only, BS parties. Sarah is an empty vessel who churns out garbage content in exchange for attention and perceived superiority. L is just another prop. The kid doesn’t even rate as high as Sarah’s skinny Walmart mirror.
The thing wearing on me is that this isn’t how a career oriented parent is parenting today. Maybe a 1950s dad? But even executive level dads today are home more and not laying in bed in a house with a preschooler who’s awake and they’ve hardly seen for weeks. Career moms still carry a lot of the mental load of families but many times I’ve had calls with even career dads cancelled because they’re home with a sick kid.
Career dads with stay at home wives aren’t this disengaged.
It’s not a career vs parenthood thing at all despite her efforts to sell it as that - I think you hit the nail on the head that she is done with motherhood.
