Raising children may be rewarding and joyful, but it can also be all-consuming, and one of the first casualties is not getting enough 'me time'. The old-fashioned 'mom guilt' comes in the way and many don't see the need to enjoy solo time or spoil themselves.
However, there also seem to be people on the opposite end of the spectrum. A woman from Hertfordshire UK, supposedly treated herself to new veneers, touch up Botox and fillers, manicures, facials, new clothes and shoes for Christmas, and did not really bother to buy anything for her kids.
Carla Bellucci, 38, said she doesn¡¯t care about being called selfish, arguing that her children Tanisha, 15, and Jayden, 13, can make their own money through social media.
¡°They needed a push to get their Instagram careers off the ground, so that¡¯s what I gave them," UNILAD quoted Carla as saying
"If toddlers can make money from Instagram collaborations, I see no reason my kids can¡¯t. If they want Christmas gifts, they¡¯ll have to buy them for themselves ¨C like I did.¡±

Her eldest kid, Jermaine, 18, refused to celebrate Christmas
with Carla this year.
According to a social media post quoted by UNILAD, Carla said, "I don¡¯t care if people call me spoilt or selfish. I know I deserve my ?8,000 spending spree. Spoiling kids at Christmas is wrong. I think parents who spoil their kids this year are hypocrites."
"I am a brilliant mum and am using COVID Christmas as a life lesson. I want my kids to be social media stars and withholding gifts this year will teach them to make money for themselves. Lockdown stressed me so I need to spoil myself. I have always bought the kids nice things at Christmas throughout the years. It¡¯s Mummy time now."
Carla went on to argue that mums should put themselves first as a way of stopping their men from straying. She added: ¡®I think mums who spoil their kids and don¡¯t spend money on themselves normally let themselves go. That¡¯s why they end up divorced and their fellas stray. No one wants a scummy mummy, you have to work at looking good and mums who spoil their kids don¡¯t¡¯.
Carla¡¯s spending spree has reportedly caused a rift between her and her kids. However, for her, it's about being able to carve out time for herself and relieve off some tension after the stormy pandemic year.

According to UNILAD, in the past Carla had also faked depression to get a free nose job on the NHS.
It's true that parents need to make time to care for themselves, but not to the extent at which Carla Bellucci chose to go. What do you think? Let us know in the comments section.
