"Mums shame me for being naturally pretty but they're just jealous"

Real Fix

Credit: SWNS / Amee Gleadell  A woman says other mums shame her for her naturally “good looks” and “figure” because they are "jealous" she doesn't need "lip filler" to look nice.  Amee Gleadell, 35, has always taken pride in her appearance and takes time to pick out a nice dress and jewellery every day.  The mum of 15-month-old Arthane claims other mums judge her at baby groups and are not friendly towards her.  Amee believes they are just “jealous” she doesn’t need “lip fillers” and her “hair done” to look nice.

00:00I like to be a kid myself, so I'm very wild, energetic, fun, confident, bubbly, friendly, chatty, playful.

00:10I do like to wear nice clothes that are quite tight on my figure, so I like to wear sort

00:35of small dresses and have my legs out. I don't wear leggings and baggy t-shirts and jumpers.

00:40I feel too frumpy in them, so I feel like some other mums should be more confident and

00:45wear more kind of nice clothes on a day-to-day basis rather than just dressing up to go out.

01:05I feel like a lot of little ones are missing out on their parents playing with them enough. I feel

01:11like a lot of parents just sort of flunk their children down. They're always on their phones,

01:15not actually enjoying the moments with their child. So I feel like, for example, if you go

01:21to the park, you'll see a lot of parents just sort of sit down on their phones,

01:25sort of not actually engaging and playing with their children on the equipment at the park.

01:36I breastfeed my baby, so I think a lot of mums aren't confident to do that without feeling that

01:43they have to cover up. So you'll see like mums trying to do it secretly or to hide around

01:49something or to wear like a cover over them, whereas I just naturally don't feel that that's

01:54necessary, because I feel that boobs shouldn't be an object other than feeding children.
