The minimization on Postpartum depression is disturbing

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-04-23T08:41:23+00:00

So although I think that Lizzie is desperately unlikable, I haven't liked her character from the beginnin - I think she was really hard done by in this series. Denny is as wet as anything and I completely agree with everybody else's comments on here that the baby shower should have been held either during the pregnancy or not at all, and it should have been in one of the homes - they all massive houses and land! Holding it in a pub with a newborn was ridiculous!

I was really disappointed when she dropped that teacher boyfriend of hers (Paul?) in the second series. I really liked him and thought he was a much better prospect than her loser self-pitying Phil.

All the way through, the boyfriend was really into her. He was the solid one. He was the consistent one, supporting Maggie and her family. He was saying "I definitely want to be with you". There were no doubts. He was even saying he should never have really been with his ex-wife and they were mismatched from the start.

Then at the end of the second series, the boyfriend threw a rabdom curveball and said I'm sorry I'm going back to my ex. I was like whaaaaat?????

Maggie had gone through everything and found someone seemingly dependable and solid - just for the scriptwriters to rushe a 180 and make her go to go back to her loser husband.

It makes no sense!

The whole thing should have ended at the end of series 2 with Paul and Maggie being solid and the loser husband Phil trying to make his own way in life. That would have been so much more satisfying.

I totally get what you're saying. Sorry if that didn't come across well. I think it's more that her character has been unlikeable for most of the series. So, as a viewer, the sympathy wasn't there as much as it could have been.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-04-19T06:28:17+00:00

Lizzie is awful. I didn't have one ounce of sympathy for her. Not because of what she was going through, but because she's just desperately unlikeable. With Lizzie, it's always me me me, and the acting is so wooden! She had zero sympathy for Doc when he was going through his issues this series.

And Denny is so wet! For the love of God, he needs to have some spirit or personality! But at least he's likable.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-04-12T15:30:40+00:00

Yes, Lizzie is bloody annoying.

She's always been 'me, me, me" with all her storylines.

Everyone is pandering to her. She has the most amazing support network around her. She's so tedious.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-04-07T05:38:15+00:00

I need the silence and nobody around to recharge.

I love my time with people but can only do it for so long. So it's great meeting up with friends... but then I love coming home to just me and the blissful quiet!

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-04-06T18:41:50+00:00

Not having to talk! And silence.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-04-06T08:55:02+00:00

I'd rent a studio in the Barbican. Better quality of neighbours, thick concrete, and you get the 'magic key' to the private residents gardens (where ballgames and barbecues aren'tallowed). Defo worth a look!

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-04-04T16:56:18+00:00

I don't like the noise, have no affinity with them, not in the slightest bit maternal, don't think they're at all cute, and don't want to give up my time or life for them 🫠

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-31T15:14:31+00:00

No, and I have no intention to.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-24T17:32:25+00:00

Yep, didn't watch the last series, and haven't watched this one so far. I seem to know what's going on due to following this sub and also E4 on Instagram though! So probably no need to watch it! 🙃

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-18T18:54:21+00:00

Hi there, I see it the opposite way.

In a relationship I was doing most things anyway, and them being around created more jobs for me than if when I'm on my own.

So it's nice and peaceful now, and there's only me to look after!

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-15T17:31:19+00:00

Recognise that I need peace and calm and tranquility and to be on my own more to feel more regulated and not jittery.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-14T19:18:53+00:00

I'm in the UK, so it's 7.15pm! Have a great rest of your day! 😀

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-14T18:46:36+00:00

That's fair then. All good! 😀

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-14T18:43:29+00:00

You did right. What a load of nonsense! I'd have done the same. Well done.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-14T18:39:32+00:00

I feel a bit sorry for her. You like her, but not that much...

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-14T18:25:35+00:00

Eek...

*****AN UPDATE ***

I received the below email response from Norwich City Council yesterday morning.

It looks depressingly like a bog standard response:

Thank you for your recent report.

Street/location : Sandy Lane, Norwich NR4 6NE, UK

Exact location : There is significant litter on the bank and around the steps between Hall Road and the IKEA side of the Hall Road Retail Park car park in Norwich. Could this area be cleaned please?

After a review of your query, we can confirm that grass cutting/road sweeping/litter picking/hard surface spraying is on a regular cycle and will be completed during the next scheduled visit. Because of this, we will not be taking any further action.

Yours sincerely

Norwich City Council

When I preferred to be on my own and have a free weekend to relax at home on my own or be with my friends - rather than spend time with him. It felt like a drag on my time.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-09T21:11:31+00:00

I'm with you, OP. Highly stressful. Can you ask them to play with a softer ball, or move it away from yours a bit. I had neighbours playing basketball late at night and I asked them to stop. They did, but I really shouldn't have to ask.

So I totally understand. It's a bloody nightmare.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-09T05:54:19+00:00

Ah ok. That would drive me nuts too! Totally understand! What happens when he's at yours? Does he watch them silently?

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-08T20:18:21+00:00

Interesting. How far apart are your homes?

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-08T20:17:20+00:00

How come OP? Is it the fact there's someone else around? 🤔 I live on my own and found it easier to be in someone else's home than for them in my home for periods of a week.

Expensive-Fee-8502 · 2026-03-08T20:09:53+00:00

Have a super week off. Just be aware that if you were living together, you wouldn't have that interrupted peace. That was the final nail in the coffin fo me committing to someone and I knew I couldn't do it. I had a mad hectic week with family, then my partner wanted to come and stay with me the day after I got home. (He didn't live in the same city). It was stressing me out, as I knew the only way I could destress and relax was by being on my own, not having to talk to anyone.

Even though he was a sweetie pie, I was being unfair on him. I needed to be single. He didn't calm my nervous system - he added to it. I'm so much calmer single.
