Being a public figure often comes with expectations to always appear perfect—especially when you’re a young mum with millions of followers.
But Molly-Mae Hague is breaking that mould by sharing a side of motherhood many people shy away from.
In her latest YouTube vlog, the influencer and former Love Island star peeled back the curtain on what life really looks like behind the Instagram filters.
A Tough Few Days With Toddler Bambi
Molly-Mae, 26, opened up about the emotional weight she’s been carrying lately, revealing that her daughter Bambi hasn’t eaten properly in three days.
The toddler, who she shares with partner Tommy Fury, has been refusing food and ignoring instructions.
Molly described how she’s hit a wall trying to get through to her, admitting she feels completely overwhelmed and unsure of herself as a mum.
“Am I Even Cut Out for This?”
In the vlog, Molly spoke with raw honesty: “I’m having one of those days.
The kind of day where I genuinely ask myself if I’m even built for this mum life.”
She reflected on how she watches other mothers talk about parenting like it’s sunshine and rainbows, and wonders if there’s something wrong with her for not feeling that way all the time.
“Not every minute of this is enjoyable,” she admitted.
“And that’s just the truth.”
Parenting Isn’t Always Picture Perfect
Despite having a £6 million fortune and plenty of resources, Molly made it clear that parenting doesn’t come with a manual—or immunity from exhaustion.
She shared a relatable story about a meltdown over a new carpet in Tommy’s house.
Trying to keep Bambi from stepping on it with shoes turned into a full-blown tantrum.
“She’s just doing the opposite of everything I say,” Molly said, clearly frustrated.
“It’s like she’s testing me at every turn.”
The Balancing Act of Discipline and Surrender
One of the biggest challenges Molly highlighted is figuring out where to draw the line.
Do you stand firm with discipline, or do you give in to avoid a full-on meltdown?
“I don’t want to spoil her, but sometimes it feels like there’s no winning,” she confessed.
Her vulnerability struck a chord with many parents, especially those navigating the tricky toddler stage.
A Lonely Feeling, Even With Support
She also acknowledged how hard it must be for parents who are doing it all without a support system.
“The thought of having more than one child right now feels unthinkable,” she said.
“I want Bambi to have a sibling, but doubling this experience? I just don’t know if I’m capable.”
Fans React: “Thank You for Keeping It Real”
The response to her video was overwhelmingly supportive.
Viewers flooded the comments with gratitude for her openness.
One follower wrote, “Thank you for showing this side of motherhood.
It’s wild and exhausting and it’s so validating to see someone say it out loud.”
Others chimed in, applauding her for not sugarcoating things and for helping them feel seen in their own parenting journeys.
Real Talk Is What We Need More Of
What made Molly-Mae’s video so impactful wasn’t just the confession—it was the courage to say what so many parents feel but rarely admit.
Parenting isn’t always magical. It’s chaotic, confusing, and often exhausting.
But by speaking her truth, Molly reminded everyone watching that it’s okay not to have it all together.
What’s Next?
As Molly continues navigating motherhood, she’s likely to keep being open about the ups and downs.
Her fans are clearly grateful for the honesty, and it’s helping reshape the online conversation around parenting—making it a little more real, a little less polished, and a lot more supportive.
