What is your basis for this assertion?

Because it showcases a lifestyle that is almost too sweet for working parents to believe. I thought the writer has to be a full tim mom for her to spend so much time on thi kid.

Turns out she is Maria from Warsaw that is also a producer at a website that "is the French salon of 21st century".

It is quite amazing that she managed to look after her kid while writing daily on her Substack and managing a platform.

The profile picture does not smell diffusionsy to me so I hope this is something genuine.

It is genuine and I can tell you how she did it, because I also have a toddler roughly this age and my SO went through multiple blogs of such, for lack of a better term, turbomamas, getting increasingly frustrated with each subsequent entry.

The answer to that is alluded to in the last point - grandpa (and probably grandmas on both sides) are there to step in when she needs "me time".

And husband, too, who is mentioned on the linked page. This is called "having a family" and many parents benefit from spouses, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. Not everyone has such a family network to depend on, but it's a great source of mutual support when you do.

I initially read it as a parody of mommyblogging. This is right on the edge of being that, with writing as authentic as the hero image.
