Oh goodie! Howertons 2.0 are starting a YouTube channel. Why do I get the feeling this is the start of what may wind up one of those terrible Netflix documentaries about “self help” gone wrong?

Please run to go read how resentful Anna is toward her ex husband for appropriately calling her his ex wife. This post is maniacal.

Came here for this. Holy hell she’s insane. The part about births making it about how incredible she is… what?

[Anonymous]

The comment back on “not resentment, I chose this!” Okay, Anna. Tell us one more time how you’re so happily remarried yet continue to drone on and on about your first marriage. Doth protest too much.

It’s very gaslight-y to spend several slides painting your former marriage as very one sided as if you carried the team, only to cheat and leave and continue to spin your relationship as the ideal (because of your own doing, of course). I cannot with her holier than thou, sanctimonious self promotion without any acknowledgment of her own misgivings. Narcissistic behavior at its peak.

Whoever mentioned the outfit changes… hehehe

Do we think Anna’s ex husband actually said or would say all of those very word salad overly descriptive things about her?

[Anonymous]

I had to unfollow her after the most recent post about not having your kids all the time. 1. It’s not cute when you made a man move from his children 2. Plenty of divorced parents are sick over not knowing how their kid is in the other household 3. Don’t humiliate your son by blasting him knowing that yall have sex (come on….I thought there was a line somewhere?!)

A close friend, who never ragged on her husband in the 15 years I've known her, recently disclosed that they are no longer together. I was understandably aghast, and said, hey, what happened? And she said, it was a successful marriage, until it wasn't. And I thought that was an accurate and bittersweet way to characterize it.

I really can't believe how little self-awareness she has, and also how willing she seems to be to shit on her ex and Mark's ex in every other post. The post bragging about what an amazing wife she was and all the ways she supported Tim while making it sound like he sucked and then the post bragging about all her time off from parenting while married to a man who doesn't parent at all so his ex gets no time off. Does she think her followers are not aware of that? I think most of the people who follow her are lookie-loos like me who followed over from following Mark from the mommy blogging days. I am they have an easy life not having to deal with Mark's teenager and getting a week off of her kids every other week but that isn't something I would say out loud.

I know her ex through mutual friends and that “reality” she painted was far from what everyone else saw and experienced. She shamelessly tries to gain a following at every turn and I truly hope one day she does so someone can expose what an absolute grifting fraud (not to mention miserable person) she is.

I know Mark through our sons and he is so nice. Like kinda out to lunch but I think a genuinely nice guy. I am upset to hear / see he doesn’t see his kids. I’m also pretty shocked as I knew him and Kristen to be cordial. Very confuse as to what happened there.

[Anonymous]

Yeah the clients she talks about are definitely fake.

I don't think it's hard to figure out. They were definitely friendly coparents. Lots of photos of them together, and Mark and Kristen's boyfriend together, and they even all traveled together. Right up until the time Mark started dating Anna. Based on how shitty she is to Kristen, her ex-husband and her ex's fiance online, I can't even imagine how much worse she is in private. If two divorced people coparent well until a new partner is in the picture, the new partner is more than likely the problem.

[Anonymous]

Can confirm she’s awful in private.
