She looks good, has a great career with plenty of holidays, from the face of it has a fantastic husband and marriage. And most importantly she comes across like she is a fantastic mother. So patient and calm. Im jealous but admire her too in equal measures. AIBU??????

Can’t you have all of those things?

DickRichardsIII · 28/01/2018 18:49

Not too unreasonable. She was lucky to be born pretty. Not everyone has that. The rest though is no doubt down to hard work and personality. From the stuff we see, it does appear she has a lovely life. But she's still a normal person. No doubt has good days and bad days - just like the rest of us. She seems to work hard, and to us, it looks like she has a lot of fun doing it. Who knows what we don't see though?

Whatislife123 · 28/01/2018 18:50

Yes I can. Without blowing my own trumpet I would say I am attractive but my personality is pretty shit. It will take alot of hard work to change but hopefully will get there

I agree that she works hard and has the personality. I just don't have the personality 😦 I have anger problems😞

She cries a fair but though.

NameChangedForThisQ · 28/01/2018 19:09

anger problems can absolutely be worked through. I'm always a believer that there's no negative aspect of your personality you can't change or mitigate or work with in some way to not let it affect your life. Counseling, self development books and videos, exercise, nature etc. I used to have terrible rage problems and trust issues and was trapped in an abusive relationship. Now I'm free and feel like a totally new person. Sometimes I get negative thoughts or difficult feelings, but I know how to work with them now, not for them to take over me.

Whatislife123 · 28/01/2018 19:11

She does cry very easily. Not too sure what to make of it though

Erm is this 🧐

ShowerGel9 · 28/01/2018 19:14

I do think think she's that pretty. Big mouth and false eye lashes and perfectly contoured makeup. Highlights kept ontop of weekly probably. If she was just a normal non celeb I can guarantee she would look alot different and her confidence in herself would reflect that.

ShowerGel9 · 28/01/2018 19:15

Don't now*

ShowerGel9 · 28/01/2018 19:15

Don't think!!!***

Reddlion · 28/01/2018 19:16

she is a positive person this getss you far in life and you look far more attractive

BitchQueen90 · 28/01/2018 19:16

I find her annoying to be honest. Not a fan.

Honestly, having money can make a world of difference to someone's life. If she's ever unwell or in need of a break she can easily afford for someone to look after her DC to give her a break. I'd be calm and patient all the time too if I had that luxury!

Also, we have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.

Plumes · 28/01/2018 19:17

Be comforted by the fact that her husband looks like a spectacle wearing turtle.

WitchesHatRim · 28/01/2018 19:18

No one knows what goes on behind closed doors.

TV and insta photos are a snippet of someone's life.

TheSpottedZebra · 28/01/2018 19:19

Hpw does she come across like a fantastic mother?

I mean, she might be for all we know, or she might not. But unless you know her, we don't know.

You're just seeing what she wants you to see though.

Sallystyle · 28/01/2018 19:19

I don't much like her, so personally, i'm not jealous of her. I think she is smug. I much prefer her away from the smug Phillip though.

We have no idea what kind of mother she is or what her marriage is like. I am sure like every human out there she has times where she isn't patient and times where her husband pisses her off.

I envy people who are loaded with a fantastic career who never struggle with money. It's just a passing envy though. It's never going to be my life and I just try to focus on being the best person I can be and achieve what I can achieve. Comparison is the thief of joy after all.

JaneEyre70 · 28/01/2018 19:21

Fantastic mother? If that's what you call employing a good nanny is then yes I suppose she is. She strikes me as never being at home......... which is of course her right, but I wonder how her kids feel about it. They only seem to see her on holidays.

Grin

He is definitely punching!

Sallystyle · 28/01/2018 19:22

Oh and whilst she is a million times more prettier than I can ever hope to be if I could choose anyone to look like it wouldn't be her.

I would pick someone dark and very natural.

I wouldn't chase away a fairy with her magic wand if she wanted to make me look like her though.

Twoweekcruise · 28/01/2018 19:22

I agree with you and think she looks lovely, however no one knows what goes on behind closed doors, look at Davina, it always looked like she had the perfect life and marriage!

Namechange16 · 28/01/2018 19:23

I don't find her husband attractive in the slightest, so no, not jealous. Oh and she has odd eyes. Anyhoo.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 28/01/2018 19:24

I find it funny how DM are obsessed with her (yes yes I know ) she has been built up to be miss perfect middle England

But I also envy her a bit . Her looks and career primarily Grin

JustAnIdiot · 28/01/2018 19:27

I think she comes across as silly and rather thick

Mrsmadevans · 28/01/2018 19:28

OMG she isn't married to him is she?
