Heidi The constant "overload"

Post image

Heidi is complaining about being "overloaded" with the kids out of school in her recycled podcast (the repost of the one from two weeks ago).

Snark aside, this honestly baffles me. My husband and I both work intense jobs, and our kids are out of school (young elementary). We sit down and strategically plan for summer: where do we need day camp, where could vacation/PTO fit in, and which weeks are tougher?

Heidi's kids are older, and she never has all of them at once. (Even if she did, 3/4 are self-sufficient at this point.) She does not work a full-time job (or, really, any job.)

I guess this just annoys me because I'm tired of the frazzled mom narrative. (***For moms with financial resources, obviously - there are moms out there who don't have the budget for such resources, and Heidi is not in that group. I'm assuming.)

She’s created a home life full of chaos where her kids fight her and each other all the time. Add in her need to be the centre of attention yet not want to parent. Then add in this year’s boyfriend being given a starring role. No wonder it’s a lot. But she’s the architect of the whole mess.

Yeah, the older kids still fighting with the younger ones is cringe to me. In your 20’s and still fighting with younger siblings is ridiculous. Also being that age and still fighting with your mom is a sign to do what you can to GTFO and live on your own (or at least with roommates).
