ROOKE: Screachy, Insufferable Woman Causally Admits On Podcast That She Hated Being Around Her Children

Angie Sullivan, who goes by “Pumps” on the podcast I’ve Had It, made comments that sound like a direct admission of how much she dislikes her own children.

Sullivan and her co-host, Jennifer Welch, were reacting to a caller who ranted about how much she dislikes homeschooling. Sullivan, who has three children, attacked homeschooling and then bizarrely turned her vitriol to her own children.

The caller complained about homeschooling parents claiming their decision made them unfit parents. Sullivan jumped in. She said homeschooling is a bad idea from top to bottom. She said she does not care if the parent is a nuclear physicist. She called it “weird as f*ck” for parents to want their kids around all day, every day, and all night.

“I just think homeschooling is a bad idea, from soup to nuts,” Sullivan said. “I don’t care if you’re a nuclear physicist. I think it’s just f***ing weird as f*ck that you want your kids around you all day, every day, and all night. And just the socialization.”

“For me personally, it was that I would have gotten up on my hands and knees and strapped them to my back and crawled to get them to school every day just to get them where I wasn’t,” she continued. “So, I don’t trust somebody that wants to be with their kids 24/7. I think a lot of dumb people do it because it’s just easier. And that’s a concern.”

Imagine the disdain it takes to openly describe the extreme effort you would be willing to put in to move your children to a location where you were not present. Not only that, but she presents this as a normal, relatable feeling. And even doubles down, adding that she distrusts parents who choose to keep their children at home. It’s apparently suspicious to love your children. (Sign up for Mary Rooke’s weekly newsletter here!)

Sullivan treats normal parental attachment as abnormal. Women who give birth and raise children usually develop instincts to nurture and stay close, especially in the early years. Sullivan had three children. She chose to have them and raise them. Yet with zero regret, she bragged about how far she would go to limit time with them.

A typical mother might say she values school for its educational benefits while still cherishing family time. Sullivan used the anti-homeschool rant as a gateway to tell the world how much she disliked being around her children.

She’s actually instructing her listeners to buy into the thinking that disliking your children’s company is fine and even superior. It’s apparently right-wing to love being a mom now.

This anti-motherhood stance is not healthy. It discourages the hard but rewarding work of daily parenting. Most mothers push through tough days because the bond matters, not just for your children but for you as a woman. (ROOKE: Modern Motherhood’s Weed-Filled Isolation Chamber)

This is yet another example of the far-left wreaking havoc on societal norms that will end up ruining the lives of countless women who tune in for this drivel. She hated being around her children and said so out loud, and wants other women to feel the same.
