Frankie Bridge, a singer and TV personality, recently addressed the online criticism she faced regarding her parenting choices, particularly after taking a holiday to cope with health issues. The 36-year-old former member of The Saturdays highlighted the double standards women encounter, noting that her husband Wayne Bridge does not receive similar backlash for his work commitments. She expressed that the negative comments she receives are indicative of broader societal issues regarding expectations of mothers compared to fathers. Frankie emphasized that she has become more aware of these biases over the years and pointed out how unfair parenting judgments can affect women's mental health. Her decision to take a break was supported by her family, who recognized her need for self-care amidst ongoing health struggles.
