Fellow parents thank Vogue Williams for sharing ‘hard’ realities of being a parent

Our social media feeds are constantly filled with depictions of the so-called ‘perfect’ parent and it’s always a refreshing moment when someone breaks down that unrealistic perception of parenthood – and Vogue Williams has done just that.

Earning praise from her fellow parents for her honest take on the subject, Vogue shared a not-so-glamorous insight into a day where she felt like a ‘rubbish’ parent.

Alongside an adorable snap of her little ones and their dog Winston, the mum to Theodore, five, Gigi, three and baby Otto who share shares with Spencer Matthews, began: ‘My favourite job is being a mom but my GOD it’s hard.’

Explaining that she was on her own with her kids for the day, Vogue recalled: ‘I imagined sitting doing the Easter bonnets having a chilled morning but that did not happen’.

Delving into the unfortunate way she began her day which brought her to ‘tears’, the mum-of-three wrote: ‘woke up to an entire kitchen full of [poo] because Winston isn’t well which took 40 minutes to clean’.

With the chaos not stopping there, the family were then late to their gymnastics class. Vogue added: ‘Otto decided we were in a game of slaps where he was the only player and my face was the target!’

In an all-too relatable sentiment, the podcaster confessed: ‘I had a day where I thought I was a rubbish parent because I struggled with all three, they weren’t into listening to me at all.’

Vogue continued: ‘I have to say an afternoon Solpadeine helped with the headache and they are all in bed now and I don’t even think I’ve the energy to take my makeup off!’

Finishing out her post on a candid note, she penned: ‘Posting this because I always get asked how I manage and the truth is sometimes I don’t do that very well. Kids 1 me 0’.

Parents were quick to thank Vogue for sharing her honest recap of the day, with one person writing: ‘Thank you so so much for sharing – its always feels like a hug when fellow mothers share stories like this as I think this is how we all feel some days and it’s so nice to know we aren’t alone! So thank you for keeping it so real!’

Another commented: ‘Those days are the toughest. We all have them. Hope you & Winston feel better soon!’
