Helen Flanagan reveals huge parenting decision and admits she’s suffering from ‘mum guilt’

Helen Flanagan, the glamorous 33-year-old actress and mother of three, has opened up about her parenting decision and the guilt she feels as a mother.

Cancelling kids’ classes to prioritize family time

Helen recently made the decision to cancel all of her children's classes over the weekends. The reason behind this decision is to ensure that her ex-partner Scott, who lives away, can have quality time with their kids. She believes that it is important for the children to spend time with their father when he is available, and by freeing up their weekends, they can do just that.

The constant juggle

While Helen wants her children to excel in their activities, she also feels the pressure of balancing their schedules. She has friends in London and Scotland, and she enjoys going away for the weekends. As a result, she is trying to move all their classes to weekdays. Helen admits feeling guilty that her youngest, Charlie, isn't able to participate in swimming lessons due to the scheduling challenges.

A heartwrenching split

Last year, Helen and Scott, a professional footballer, announced their split after 13 years together. Helen has spoken openly about the difficult decision to end their relationship and being a single mother. She recalls how in love she was with Scott when they first got together, describing him as her everything. However, over time, they grew apart.

A spooky reason behind the break-up

Shortly after their split was confirmed, a surprising revelation emerged. Helen's engagement ring had snapped earlier in the year, and she sought guidance from a psychic medium. Believing it to be a bad omen, she saw the broken ring as a sign that she shouldn't get married. This added another layer to the complex reasons behind their separation.

Helen Flanagan's story serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by many parents and the sacrifices they make in order to prioritize family and maintain balance in their lives.
