Former Love Island star and mum-of-one Molly-Mae Hague has addressed being called 'out of touch' by fans as she shows the realities and difficulties of motherhood in her latest YouTube vlog
Molly-Mae Hague broke down in tears and sobbed in her car in her latest YouTube video as she offered a glimpse into the realities of motherhood.
‌
The former Love Island star, 26, who shares two-year-old daughter Bambi with professional boxer Tommy Fury, filmed herself crying in her car after a difficult morning with the toddler. The influencer has been incredibly open about how difficult she finds being a mum over the past two years, and in her latest vlog, Molly's patience was tested more than ever.
‌
At the beginning of the video, Molly confessed that she was apprehensive to share her struggles with motherhood after she was labelled as 'out of touch' last week after fans became annoyed when she claimed that she had not done anything fun all summer - despite going on several holidays and attending Wimbledon and DisneyLand.
‌
However, the mum-of-one decided to continue to share the difficulties of everyday life with a toddler despite the backlash. Viewers watched as Molly was reduced to tears after taking Bambi to a local farm to pet some animals.
Luckily, Molly's older sister Zoe Rae was on hand to give her a break for a couple of minutes as she sobbed in the car and took a few moments to calm down and compose herself after Bambi had another tantrum.
‌
Addressing the criticism she has received, Molly insisted that she's not going to stop showing the realities of motherhood after she was labelled as 'out of touch' and 'selfish' in her previous vlog, while others slammed her parenting style with Bambi as 'too soft'.
Speaking to her YouTube subscribers, Molly said through tears: "I'm trying so so hard to stay positive but, I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see like every single thing, Bambi is a huge problem, she screams and I can't even get like socks and shoes on.
‌
"I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff thats going on on TikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it.
"I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I am talking about at the minute, it's just a lot'.
"Debunking that whole thing about me feeling like I shouldn't talk about what is going on in the day because I am scared about what people will think and what they have to say about it."
‌
Molly then explained why her partner Tommy is not seen in the vlogs with Bambi after some fans slammed him for not being there to help Molly with parenting Bambi.
"I've seen so many comments sayin Zoe is more the dad. I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week," Molly insisted.
‌
"But I Vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to."
Molly's emotional breakdown comes after she was told to "get a grip" as she detailed her holiday struggles on her recent motorhome trip with Tommy.
‌
The couple have been busy mending their romance, having revealed they were getting back together in the second instalment of her Prime Video series, 'Behind It All', back in May. They took a recent trip to the Isle of Man, sharing their escapades across social media.
However, after getting back, Molly-Mae told all about it and her openness didn't go down well with all her followers. 'Tommy has bought a motorhome and we spent our first weekend in the motorhome this weekend," he explained. 'Obviously, being us, we went in feet first and decided to go to the Isle of Man.
"We booked the ferry, packed the motorhome up and nearly didn't make the ferry but that's another story and then there was a two hour delay. This ferry, which was already gonna get us in at 11:30pm, which was already severely triggering me because Bambi goes to bed at 7pm.
‌
'Was not fine! It was giving me a prime example as to why the routine works for us. It was one of those moments where strangers come up to you and are like 'can I help? Is there anything I can do?' She was screaming that much for four hours straight. The boat basically had a malfunction and it wouldn't move for like two hours so we had a huge delay. She was so, so, so overtired and overstimulated - Bambi is so routine, she is the opposite of flexible.'
'We managed to get to the Isle of Man at 1:30am in the morning. We didn't know where we were, what we were doing, we were going to a different campsite to Tommy's family. It was just a lot. We had to make our bed out of this sofa, I was like 'I'm really out of my depth, I'm struggling'. 'The next day, Bambi was so tired, she was just screaming, literally screaming, so, so unhappy. 'Me and Tommy were looking at each other like 'what were we thinking?''
‌
Things got better once she and Tommy met up with Tyson Fury, his wife Paris and their seven children. She went on: 'We were actually going to get on a ferry that day to come home because we were so out of our depth, we couldn't do it. But then, when we met up with them, we were like 'no, we're gonna stick it out, we can do this.''
One person said: 'Why is she always complaining about something? If it's not her, it's her sister How insufferable must it be living with them.'
‌
Another person chipped in by saying: 'So dramatic' while a third followers told the former Love Island star to stop moaning and "get a grip".
A fourth person said: 'I personally feel it would have been so much better to wait to have children, she's so successful and mature in one way but very self-centred and immature in others as seen here.' But there were plenty supporting her, with a fan telling the star she is "handling it all superbly".
