To feel bad for Helen Flanagan here?

she’s being made to sell their home and work, taking jobs she wouldn’t normally, and being away from her kids?

I know some of you are gonna be like ‘poor little rich girl’ 😂😂😂 but honestly, what kind of man is this?? Feel for her a little (from my own, much lower, tax bracket)

Hey Helen 🤣🤣

Hey Helen 🤣🤣

His finances are his responsibility. If he hasn’t managed to save and prepare for the future, that’s on him. Footballers’ careers are notoriously fickle and short. It’s not like he couldn’t predict that this would happen. When we decided to put our kids into private school, we had the money saved in advance as security, we wouldn’t have put them in otherwise. I clearly don’t know as much detail about their financial arrangements as you do, but I imagine if they’d been married she would have received the house in settlement and more. Obviously it’s on her that she didn’t ensure this, but she must feel like she is building her life on moving sands, at the mercy of her ex.

🥰🥰🥰

😂😂 I’m clearly in the minority but fun gifs aside, I really do feel for her

she should’ve married him, but their family home is just that - just because he’s decided it isn’t for him, doesn’t mean that her life should stop!

he, upon leaving after being the main provider, should’ve made sure that her and the kids were looked after before moving on - securing their home and making sure that their life continues as uninterrupted as possible 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

that’s how it should be imo, for all women who have a man’s kids

that said, no judgement of working mums, who do too much - life shouldn’t be a struggle, it isn’t always for the men

🤭🤭 hey girl!

He IS trying to secure a home for them though. A perfectly adequate home, just not quite as luxurious as they're used to (but can't afford).

@mumofoneAloneandwell "no judgement of working mums"
That's good, because Helen is a working mum
As we keep saying.

It’s such an odd attitude

‘this is how it was so this is how it will always be’

If only life worked that way

Maybe her argument would be stronger if she was saying

‘I’m having to work when I don’t want to, I want to be be home with the kids’ rather than her current one

I think the word ‘want’ is the problem here

But it's ridiculous to say a relationship can't end unless the leftee continues to live an absolutely identical lifestyle whilst the leaver also has to provide a second home and quality of life on top. That's ridiculous. If she left him, would she still have to come round his and cook his dinner every night so his life doesn't change?

Women need to be financially dependent on themselves, ESPECIALLY when the relationship is over...otherwise she'll be seen as nothing more than a parasite feeding off her host/ex boyfriend.

Situations of dependency give rise to contempt.

Many of us are able to be effective, involved mothers and still raise children.

If she left him, she’d still have to take care of the kids, cook, clean, be a taxi, etc

her life wouldn’t change much except being sans husband

his life is much easier now, imo, now he has a permenant nanny

Really? Would you rather live in a 6 bed that could be sold when your eldest turns 18, or have a 4 bed house that was yours so you could live in it forever?

Oh come on - do you really think she does everything in the home?

is this a tradwife thread in disguise?

None of that has anything to do with the finances. Lots of families have to adjust to different financial circumstances, even without the parents splitting up.

How do you know she doesn't want to work? She's been acting and begins a play next week.
Maybe she wants to be in the play, and continue her acting career?

Not everyone does manage it tbh

😂😂 I don’t think she was in a throuple

😬

Obviously

It's possible like anything

I have a gif addiction

Not really. Being a mother is not a job in and of itself. Helen needs to stop complaining and get on with it, also stop slagging her ex off in the media. It is awful for her kids.

She wants attention. She has always been a massive attention seeker.

Yes, in the interview she's saying that she's had to work more/differently to what she'd like, doesn't say anything about not working at all. So again it's not immediately obvious where all this SAHP stuff is coming from.

The long form interview is a more interesting read than the cherry picked bits in the Mirror, actually. She talks about being sexualised on Corrie as a 16 year old in the noughties and not really understanding it.
