Mom’s can be quick to judge when it comes to other moms or parenting in general. This Mommy blogger is no exception.
One woman has built her brand on sharing the side of motherhood that few mothers admit these days.
She admitted that she drinks to cope with her children “driving her crazy,” according to a report.
Australian influencer Constance Hall has an unorthodox approach to how she raises her seven children, whom she allows to eat with their hands, run wild in supermarkets and skip baths, the Daily Mirror reported Wednesday.
“This is the modern family, this is what I blog about,” Hall told “60 Minutes” Australia. She added, “We’ve got equal rights to go work but we [women] still have to do 90 percent of the housework anyway.”
“So what did that even do for us? It’s just made us even more tired,” she questioned. “Unless we just stop of course and live in squalor which I’m obviously kind of what I’m doing and trying hard not to.” Hall has a reputation for her posts, which are in stark contrast to her fellow mommy bloggers and influencers who tend to present a life that looks more like perfection than reality.
The successful author and fashion designer instead prefers to give her followers brutal honesty and raw transparency. For example, she’s admitted that she “checks out” as a mom after 7:30 p.m. for some much-needed personal time.
Hall has also ruffled feathers in Australia for her feminist views, even joking she was “probably going to get snipered tomorrow.”
All in all, Hall said she embraces her reputation for imperfection along with her approach to motherhood.
She said, “I think people like me because life’s just not perfect. You know? It’s not happily ever after. It’s not meant to be.”
