Can't Abide "At Home With Katherine Ryan"

[sundarimudgirl]

American here, but very tuned into British culture and news. i just watched part of the first episode of "At Home With Katherine Ryan." I at least thought I like her, but I found myself, I guess the best description is disgusted. Overall, I felt her "struggles" in the context of clear affluence lacked complete lack of awareness of those who are having real struggles (How will I keep the heating on? How will i pay for groceries and petrol?). AND she wants ANOTHER baby? Are you for real? And she's sharing her woes with some friend whose clearly part of the 1% wealth-wise and has her bleeping taxidermied horse in her lounge? And WTF is up with her husband? Does he actually do anything?

Haven't watched this, but always found her a bit cringe. I don't necessarily disagree with what she says, although I've only ever seen the odd clip, so I don't have the full picture. But the way she says it feels insufferable and honestly gives me second-hand embarrassment.

I’ve not seen it, but I can’t stand that woman. She’s deeply unlikable..

I tend to switch channels when she's on.

I don't know why but I just don't like anything about her.

😄 I love her 😍

She can do far better than the husband, but i love her and her oldest's relationship

Its just me and my dd, I love how close they seem

I love her too, manly because she has the audacity to not give a shit what anyone else thinks of her. And she's actually very genuine and generous.

I love her.
Saw her stand-up show once and she was very quick and very funny.
The husband is awful however.
A conspiracy theorist and Trump-loving right wing ignoramus.
Goodness knows why she is with him.

I don’t like her, she doesn’t come across well. Having said that when she presented Have I Got News For You last week I did laugh out loud at one of her jokes so there’s a first time for everything!

She’s incredibly insecure and her husband has had all his freedoms cut in return for living in absolute luxury.
I don’t think either of them are happy.

Is he? Im quite surprised by that.

I like her because she’s honest and funny. Even when I dont agree with her I still like her. I think she’s quite good at questioning things and trying to understand different views, not just right or left wing or whatever.

However I also didnt understand the need for this show. It felt really pointless and not really relatable because yes a lot of parents feel guilt but also everything is fine? Worrying about whether or not to get more nannies 😳
But I also agree that if he’s a stay at home dad then why is she even worrying about this?

I really like her. I also saw her live. She’s very very funny. She’s worked hard for where she is. She’s been poor and a single Mum, she knows hardship. The husband Bobby is pretty cool from listening to her Telling Everybody Everything podcast. I think they’re fine. Who knows and anyway, how does it affect anyone else. I love her in anything.

I love her which is most unlike me.

I think she's fab!

I expected to hate it but really enjoyed it. She came across as very likeable and down to earth and was able to laugh at herself.

I quite like her because she seems very authentic and doesn't give a shit.

But her husband is a leech. I think deep down she is sad she can't be a trad mum and has to earn all the money herself. That's why she is addicted to having babies, as it gives trad mum vibes but sadly, not a looked after woman.

In one of her podcasts ages ago she was moaning about having to reschedule a smear test and drag all her kids with her and how the NHS doesn't understand the pressures on a working mum. I was listening to that and wondering why the fuck her husband couldn't look after the kids. She didn't need to drag them anywhere.

I like her comedy (I bloody love her Hamilton pisstake routine) but I don’t agree with a lot of what she says especially in terms of parenting, just the other day I saw a video where she said she openly tells her children her eldest daughter is her favourite. But I don’t have to like and agree with everything about a person to enjoy watching them, Jeremy Clarkson is another one like that for me, I don’t agree with a lot of what he says but I enjoy his shows and when we do agree I find him very funny.

I really don't like the way her husband parents Violet. I really think step fathers should back off and all this "put a jumper on and cover yourself up" nonsense is awful.

You have the option of not watching it.

Why don't you just switch off your tv set and do something less boring instead

"Why Don't You?!" 😂

I’ve not seen it. but surely any celeb reality show where they follow them around living their life (which it sounds like this is?) is going to be a bit tone deaf to various things. And that’s sort of the point - I mean no one watches the kardashians to watch real life struggles.

Not watched her since I saw her make a joke about disabled children years ago.
