Her complete lack of effort is a huge put-off for me too. Stopped following after SI for that reason, not practicing runway walk was the last straw. Because of your post I went to accounts of people that tagged her to see what their content was, and wow, the difference in the caliber of what they did vs Birds is huge.
Do companies that hire influencers for jobs not follow up to see who actually did the work? Or check ahead of time?? Or does Agency get to decide who to send when they’re hired to provide an influencer?
Yes! I wouldn’t do that trip without her but if for some reason I did, the 3 year old would never know where I was and what I did.
Poor kid is isolated from the world, left with Nana in no activities or preschool, and then is manipulated by her mom as Birds swings from neglectful to fawning over L and back to neglectful again. Birds’ mask is slipping big time these days, she has no one to mirror because no one behaves like this - so we are seeing the act all unravel.
Can see why she has to keep L isolated. Even 3 year olds at daycare would not understand why their friend’s mom went to a Disney Resort without her and would for sure say as much directly to L.
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.
