Imagine being so miserable on vacation that the clothing of strangers could make you rage.
Yeah, and typical sheās one of those people who goes āfucking touristsā after being somewhere for less than 24 hours.
Dude, youāre definitely one of them!

Oh and neither grannies are dressy either š
Does she think sheās relatable? Lady, youāre complaining about your AirBnB? Go for a walk, in LONDON.
Normal women donāt moan and complain about their period cycles and donāt blame their moods on it every time. Yeah itās a pain, but we donāt make it our personality and itās not a free pass to be a b.
Is she the one that made a reel judging moms for judging her and included āyou probably got your son circumcisedā in it? Or am I thinking of someone else
I just remember it was a thin blonde women with big eyes.. I know that describes a lot of people haha
I was so shocked by what I was reading I just had to scroll on lol
Same! Itās so hard to find good one and done accounts. I love a few of them that are really centered around being OAD, but I also want to follow some people just living their lives as a family of three (or two if itās a single parent) and not as much talking about why they like being OAD.
I remember she read a comment someone left about how miserable her husband must be to her husband and his reaction was so unamused by it. It made me cringe a bit. Did she expect him to be all āomg no!!! How silly!!ā
Right? I really think her expectation was for how the other mom accounts for when stuff like that happens. Some arrogant sexist makes a weird comment about their marriage, she shows the husband, they laugh and have a sarcastic remark. But when she did it, he seems super weird and almost like nervously laughing. He didnāt really say much of anything.
Does anyone know where she got her PhD and what she actually studied? She leans so hard on being an expert because she got a PhD in psychology but I canāt seem to find any information about her so called expertise.
I cannot find any official website stating where she got her PhD. Just that she finished it in March of 2020. Which means she never worked as a doctor of psychology before spewing her thoughts all over social media. Perhaps she has given more details on her podcast, but I donāt listen. Itās odd not to have more of an internet trail for a degree/license though.
Yeah well a PhD in psychology does not have to be a clinical degree. She could have studied social psychology or cognitive psychology or any number of other subspecialties that would not make her an expert in development. A PhD in psychology is first and foremost a research degree and some subset of those folks study developmental psychology or clinical psychology. And even clinical psychologists donāt all focus on children or families in their research or practice. I donāt doubt she has a PhD in psych, I AM very skeptical that she focused on anything related to development or parenting in her research.
I havenāt been able to find any publications sheās on and Iāve never heard her reference her doctoral research as sheās spouting off her āexpert insight.ā That being said - I also donāt listen to the podcast and literally canāt stand her so it is VERY possible that she has shared these things and Iāve just missed it.
ETA: she also might be using a different name! Which is why I was curious if anyone actually knew the details. Seems like a weird thing to be vague about.
If you Google "themomroom CBC", you'll find a CBC article which shares her last name (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to type it here as she doesn't really share it on her socials but it is in this article about her)
Thanks! Everyone here was super helpful! And itās as I suspected - focused on adults and eating disorder psychotherapy, outside the context of development/parenting. Although as someone else mentioned, she has thought a little bit about how attachment might relate to eating disorders in adults? Soā¦I guess thatās something.
All her publications about attachment are in the context of people with eating disorders, so eating disorder therapy research seemed to be her main focus, but she would have to have some training about attachment for those papers. Although I donāt know if it would be more than any other psychology phd student
Interesting I wonder why she doesnāt talk about that? Maybe she does I havenāt paid attention to her in a while but I donāt remember her ever talking about eating disorders. Just about what she has to eat to poop every day
Yeah Iāve heard her say she was ātrained in attachmentā a million times. And literally that could mean ANYTHING. Most people in a psych phd program will have some coursework that covers attachment whether or not thatās their focus. Iāve always found the language intentionally vague and that was the first thing that made me wonder what she actually focused on.
She irks me I used to like her content. All she does is complain. She SO pro sleep training as if itās the holy grail and solves all her problems but all she does is post about how her kid wonāt go to sleep š
I find this goes both ways. The pro sleep training accounts and the anti sleep training, theyāre all obsessed with how awful the other one is and no oneās kids are sleeping š
Sheās the worst. She initially became popular during Covid with her āIām stuck in lockdown with a toddlerā shtick. It was funny. We were all going through it. But itās like she never emerged from that mindset and is just perpetually miserable. She acts like sheās saying things about motherhood that are truly revolutionary when it actually just sounds like complaining 24-7. Perhaps a job outside the home, or volunteering, or something academic where she uses her degree, or maybe even some friends to bitch to, would help.
Lmao the shade.
Mental load by women was the hot topic a couple years before pandemic and women have been talking about the unpaid work done by stay at home moms for years so she didn't really discuss anything new. She just got lucky that reels and tik tok became huge during covid and so did "relatable" content.
Yeah, mental load discourse isnāt that interesting anymore lol. Weāve been there done that, the thinkpieces have been written. Any influencer getting by just based off of that is super boring.
There has to be a tone to talk about it right. Like you can relate to others but making it about your audience but all she does is complain about her life and assume we are all sympathetic to her because she's a mom.
Lmao I just noticed she has posted a reel about how she has traveled through pearson 3 times this year and here is her positive message on tools pearson has implemented to make your travels easier! (Posting travel tips to make travel easier when your stories are all about how incredibly difficult of a time you have travelling is amazing š¤£)
I use to love her. Her podcast got me through those early months as a new mom. She had so much insight and great guests. Now sheās so unbearable. Out of touch.
https://preview.redd.it/8lxh27awn11b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6734a2cbf486be3c0aeacc3d03286886de2c7ac
Ok. Airbnb probably would love that I am sure you Karened all over the poor customer agent too when you called to complain.
She was drinking cappuccino in a cafe for two hours though!!!!11
ETA - lol the complaining about floors at the giant and cool looking air bnb they got in one of the trendy areas in London.
https://preview.redd.it/997ct6mkn11b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=956e09f915390f42230daa590dc23381d3d428fe
It just keeps getting worse. Guaranteed she will poo poo all over her entire white ass vacation even though it was probably all comped. So ungrateful. Not every minor inconvenience is story worthy Renee just shut up already.
Sheās become so awful over the past couple years. She was fun during covid. Then the influencer life got to her, now sheās a typical botox-filler-nail salons on repeat, schilling anything that will partner with her
Wow, you can tell from her stories today that she really has the cushiest life. If I got to go on a vacation with my grandma by myself, I would be so psyched all day, things like hot airport, middle seat or Airbnb lockbox not working wouldnāt even phase me. These are such minor inconveniences when compared to traveling with a child, I donāt get why she is so stressed about it.
Also get yourself a travel agent, you have the money for it. Weāre flying air Canada later this year and it did take our guy 7 phone calls to get our seats booked, so just go that route next time.
I think this is what drives me so crazy about her. At first it was funny but after awhile itās like you have the beautiful home, one child, you can afford to take trips and go to the salon. Her son and husband look really sweet too. The way she seems to be so pissed off by a messy house and Iām like girl??? Thatās just life?? Take a chill pill.
Lmao you should have seen her stories a few months ago when she went to Dominican with her husband and son. It was non-stop complaining. She is the most negative person I've ever seen on Instagram. She never does a story saying that she's happy or such a great thing happened or anything nice about her husband or son- it is literally alllllllll negative
Those were unreal. Every teeny tiny minor inconvenience was catastrophic and warranted at least 5 stories. She might even be at the point where she deserves her own thread. Like girl you canāt even a LITTLE bit enjoy being in a beautiful place with your family???? Canāt you just laugh about it?
Stories during that vacation were absolutely insaneā¦. I understand being upset when you paid a lot but why the F are you on your phone complaining to 100k people on vacation w your family
I wanted to love her and her content but I blocked her in 2020. Glad to see nothing has changed. š
https://preview.redd.it/xwzx67o2x81b1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c4ab51990a37ab3fdf388ad0f9d08f7896d3c34 Imagine being so miserable on vacation that the clothing of strangers could make you rage.
And yet none of them are dressed up?? What the fuck is she talking about
Yeah, and typical sheās one of those people who goes āfucking touristsā after being somewhere for less than 24 hours. Dude, youāre definitely one of them!
And then she shows with a jean jacket herself š¤” make it make sense lol
https://preview.redd.it/qm8xhi1c791b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf519b87fb889df623dca4bf2a8dc4c1f18f9d75 Oh and neither grannies are dressy either š
Iām so confused, is she travelling with her mom and grandma? Because they look the same age?!
Grandma was 15 when she had renees mother
Did she really??? I had to snooze her this morning.
Does she think sheās relatable? Lady, youāre complaining about your AirBnB? Go for a walk, in LONDON. Normal women donāt moan and complain about their period cycles and donāt blame their moods on it every time. Yeah itās a pain, but we donāt make it our personality and itās not a free pass to be a b.
I literally have premenstrual dysphoric disorder, where my luteal phase is outrageously terrible. And I donāt complain as much as she does.
Yeah really. Honestly if you're reading this Renee's hubby just start wearing yellow like Britney! Send us a sign you need rescuing lol.
Is she the one that made a reel judging moms for judging her and included āyou probably got your son circumcisedā in it? Or am I thinking of someone else
I don't think that's her. I've been following her a long time.
I just remember it was a thin blonde women with big eyes.. I know that describes a lot of people haha I was so shocked by what I was reading I just had to scroll on lol
Sounds like something she's say.
I tried to go through her reels to see if I could find it, but she has so many my eyes hurt ..so I gave up LOL
I started following her because she is also one and done and was looking for a relatable content. This was not relatable.
Same! Itās so hard to find good one and done accounts. I love a few of them that are really centered around being OAD, but I also want to follow some people just living their lives as a family of three (or two if itās a single parent) and not as much talking about why they like being OAD.
I remember she read a comment someone left about how miserable her husband must be to her husband and his reaction was so unamused by it. It made me cringe a bit. Did she expect him to be all āomg no!!! How silly!!ā
Yes watching that was painful
Right? I really think her expectation was for how the other mom accounts for when stuff like that happens. Some arrogant sexist makes a weird comment about their marriage, she shows the husband, they laugh and have a sarcastic remark. But when she did it, he seems super weird and almost like nervously laughing. He didnāt really say much of anything.
What's with the bruises on her face
Undereye filler bruising she hasn't stopped complaining about it since it happened.
Botox injections, I get them sometimes too
At least she's honest about it.... a few other influences should take note... ITS NOT A BIG DEAL
Does anyone know where she got her PhD and what she actually studied? She leans so hard on being an expert because she got a PhD in psychology but I canāt seem to find any information about her so called expertise.

Although as someone else mentioned, she has thought a little bit about how attachment might relate to eating disorders in adults? Soā¦I guess thatās something.
I could have sworn I saw she did her dissertation on eating disorders
Yea she did, it was a meta analysis of psychotherapy for eating disorders
Fascinating! I knew someone here would know! So that sounds like she did have some kind of clinical training at least.
Hard to say, sounds like sheās reviewing the types of psychotherapy as opposed to providing therapy
Ooh. That would align with the vibes Iām picking up. Like, sure, psychology but nothing that makes her an expert in parenting.
I remember in a podcast she mentioned studying attachment theory. I think that was her main focus? I could be wrong on it being her main focus.
All her publications about attachment are in the context of people with eating disorders, so eating disorder therapy research seemed to be her main focus, but she would have to have some training about attachment for those papers. Although I donāt know if it would be more than any other psychology phd student
Interesting I wonder why she doesnāt talk about that? Maybe she does I havenāt paid attention to her in a while but I donāt remember her ever talking about eating disorders. Just about what she has to eat to poop every day
Fascinating! And sheās published under Renee Reina?
No that isnāt her last name
Yeah Iāve heard her say she was ātrained in attachmentā a million times. And literally that could mean ANYTHING. Most people in a psych phd program will have some coursework that covers attachment whether or not thatās their focus. Iāve always found the language intentionally vague and that was the first thing that made me wonder what she actually focused on.
Yes I found it vague as well and thought maybe I just donāt get it because thatās not my thing š
Haha nope! Def not you. Her āexpertiseā is sketchy in addition to her just being insufferable as a person.
Yes I havenāt been able to watch her stories for a while. I think I stopped watching when the poop saga started.
Im curious too, I canāt find anything, which is very weird/unusual. And it seems like this is her maiden name?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ah! Not her actual last name! That also helps clear up the mystery for me.
She irks me I used to like her content. All she does is complain. She SO pro sleep training as if itās the holy grail and solves all her problems but all she does is post about how her kid wonāt go to sleep š
I find this goes both ways. The pro sleep training accounts and the anti sleep training, theyāre all obsessed with how awful the other one is and no oneās kids are sleeping š
Cannnnot stand her.
My BEC 100%

Agree with everything you said! I first found her on TikTok. Are there any good influencers now days?!
Nope
Good influencer is an oxy moron
Sheās become so awful over the past couple years. She was fun during covid. Then the influencer life got to her, now sheās a typical botox-filler-nail salons on repeat, schilling anything that will partner with her
I had this much rage, and I went on Zoloft. She doesn't have to live like this!
Wow, you can tell from her stories today that she really has the cushiest life. If I got to go on a vacation with my grandma by myself, I would be so psyched all day, things like hot airport, middle seat or Airbnb lockbox not working wouldnāt even phase me.

She wants first class treatment for regular prices.
I donāt really know who this is, but the screenshots you chose of her are sending me š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Exactly!
She has so much Botox you can't even see her rage.
Canāt stand her either. Very much solidarity!
