[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we talk about Emma’s sister who has kids and claims to love that she has kids but then says if she got to the end of life and had the chance to do it all over she would not have the kids?
Uummmmm. Girl. It’s one thing to say that to your therapist or even in a private confessional moment to your close girlfriends, but this was on TV! Those children you have are actual people who are going to see this one day.
Keep those inside thoughts INSIDE.

One of the most damaging things to a person’s self worth is feeling that you are unwanted and unloved by your own mother. She may think that that isn’t what she was expressing, but her kids won’t see it that way. And it’s such a painfully unnecessary thing to say to the world for your kids to hear. Just makes me sad for their future selves.

I think a lot of people feel that way. It's also really easy to say AFTER you have kids, because the implication would be that you get to do life "both ways". I don't think it's that bad of a comment. Parents always brag about getting to experience both CF life (before kids) and parent life (after kids). Admitting and acknowledging that parenting is hard is admirable, not shameful imo. And it IS hard! CF life, living for yourself is objectively much easier. [/quote]

But still, very strange to say it that way in her 2 minutes on national TV. It's not like we got to see her and know the complexities she's dealing with. [/quote]

It was a nuanced statement, and she was trying to support her sister. I have zero problem with it.[/quote]

That wasn’t nuance.
That was “omg I can’t stand this life I
chose. Parenting is hard and if I had known it was this hard I would never have done it—and want a do-over….but I live my kids though”
No nuance in that.
Just heartbreak sh|t you can’t take back.[/quote]

Agree, Emma’s sister really rubbed me the wrong way as well. It felt like she came in specifically with an agenda to take a controversial stance and it was extremely off putting.

Yes of course parenting young children can be tough and if she were a main character cast in in an extended reality show about being in the trenches as a young parent it would be more natural for some of those sentiments of doubt/regret to occasionally surface and for the audience to sympathize.

However as a briefly appearing supporting family member on the show,[b] to devote 90% of her “30 seconds of fame” [/b]to complaining about the woes of being a mother and her regrets for making the choice to do so (all of which obviously will eventually be viewed by her own children) seems a poor choice.[/quote]
Again, you people are forgetting about editing. They were probably together for a few hours and only showed "30 seconds". It's not like she wrote a script and said "this is going to be what netflix shows and makes me famous forever". They showed what they wanted to for the best storyline. [/quote]
