It’s shocking how she treats L. She’s not a mother. She birthed a kid for attention and fame and then discarded the child. Anyone who questions her is attacked with a barrage of guilt; SHE never got to do “this” before. Sadly, she isn’t leaving L for a career or work. Attending movie premieres, parties, and football games isn’t work. She’s not paid to post about these activities. She’s given these activities in exchange for posts. That’s not work; that’s fun and partying. She’s not a CEO; she’s never been one. The only thing she’s built is a massive lie that pays. The most significant payment that enabled her to live this life came from Knix. This payment gave her a lot of money and access. Knix bought her a reputation as an empowered woman. Brands that need more marketing intellect followed suit. The result has been more power and prestige for Sarah and more landfill garbage for humanity: shelves stocked with merchandise that doesn’t sell, events that no one attends, photoshoots for vanity purposes only, BS parties. Sarah is an empty vessel who churns out garbage content in exchange for attention and perceived superiority. L is just another prop. The kid doesn’t even rate as high as Sarah’s skinny Walmart mirror.
Clearly stymied as to why she had a fourth, as her motherhood days were obviously over and done with… she is a mere token, hobby mother just as she wished. Her main priority is herself and her career goals. I feel judgmental writing this, but there are women in this world who desperately want a child to nurture and 100% be involved in raising them. This is not the picture I see here and it is very sad.
The thing wearing on me is that this isn’t how a career oriented parent is parenting today. Maybe a 1950s dad? But even executive level dads today are home more and not laying in bed in a house with a preschooler who’s awake and they’ve hardly seen for weeks. Career moms still carry a lot of the mental load of families but many times I’ve had calls with even career dads cancelled because they’re home with a sick kid.
Career dads with stay at home wives aren’t this disengaged.
It’s not a career vs parenthood thing at all despite her efforts to sell it as that - I think you hit the nail on the head that she is done with motherhood.

Wow you have made such a valid statement here !
This woman values nothing but herself. Ever. Sarah is the main character in her story and the rest are just side bars and props.
