They ride the Rolls Royce under the cargo bikes, the kids get private swimming lessons at home (the chlorine from a public swimming pool hits your lungs so unpleasantly) and the age-old saying ‘you can get the girl out of the Gooi, but the Gooi out of the girl ‘still applies.
But that the Real Gooische Mothers also have serious problems, Pauline proves. Paula, as her friends sometimes call her, came back from her Italian holiday with green hair and +9 kilos clean. Terrible, so there is work to be done.

Not only the children get everything their heart desires and more, the mothers also think of themselves. For example, Pauline has a coach on speed dial to fight against the kilos. If she has to choose between a delicious bisque or the safe Caesar salad on the terrace in Amsterdam South, her coach will assist her over the phone to help make the right decision.
The luxury pastries from the pastry shop are also skilfully rejected by the hairdresser, but with a fresh reluctance to get rid of those extra kilos. “Let me tell you something. I am 9 kilos overweight,” reveals Pauline in her best friend Mika’s barber chair. “Mika, I have a picture. Well … I have such a small head and such a body”, Pauline says about the picture below.

“I seem to be expecting twins,” she continues. “I zoomed out the picture because I was so shocked by myself.” Pauline’s mission is not only to lose the Burgundian kilos, but also to feel better about herself. “I want to change course so that people don’t say, ‘Oh nice, expecting a third child?’ I get that very often. “
It is precisely this question about the third pregnancy that is sensitive to Pauline. She has been trying to get pregnant again for two years, but it is not yet successful. She talks about it candidly in the video below.
