Didnt she get a night nurse in as well from early on? I followed Caroline from early on, pre wedding. Her story of anxiety resignated with me as I had a similar "episode" to her. However, it seems she reveals in this label. Everything has to be tears and tantrums that are blamed on her being highly sensitive and anxious and now projecting on her son. Having experienced extreme anxiety where I feared leaving my house, its something you want to conquer and never experience its debilitating grips again. You work on yourself, seek help from medication, therapy, cbt and keep those practices up. She constantly goes on about how she does not have a therapist and really needs to go back to one. For someone's whos whole brand is managing anxiety and "owning it" she really is a poor spokes woman on this topic. Also- the projection of her anxiety onto her son is worrying. Theres a digital footprint here that Caelan will be able to look back on. Imagine the boy has no diagnosis or even if he does, he will be able to see how his mother dealt with this in real time, the words she used to describe him and the audacity she has to speak to a large audience about it. These things should be done within the privacy of your own family, people you trust. Not to thousands of strangers on the internet

Hang on a sec, the child that wrecks her head, as she’s documented at length, wrecks someone else’s and she’s pissed about it?

This might be the worst thing she's posted. I feel so sad for her little boy

everyone: working on a Monday morning
Caroline: off to get another tattoo in her rebel mid 30s era

Really really hoping someone close to her gets her to stand down from this insanity for a while. Leaving this legacy for her kid - the first time she experienced rage was as a mother? Absolutely dreadful stuff. Does she really think her future child wants his assessment/diagnosis shared? Can she not even stop and think he will grow and change, go to school, have future relationships, most likely a career..and this is the digital footprint his mother has created for him. It will follow him. He has no say or agency, and she seems so focused on how eveverything impacts her, it’s incredibly toxic and shocking. Edited to add as an apparent journalist who suffers from anxiety herself it’s shocking how little safeguarding of her son she does. Is she unaware of the predator elements of the internet/social media? And that maybe sharing the vulnerability of a child is not really keeping them safe. We know way too much about this kid already.

So lemme get this straight - she's an expert on open relationships without being in one, an expert on anxiety without any medical qualifications, and an expert on "highly sensitive" children without a proper diagnosis, is there no end to this woman's talents!? Absolutely full of shit. Morto for wetwipe.

Parenting, then

Nobody gives 2 fucks how many breaks you take from your child Caroline , that wasn’t the point of her message ! Stop coming on with your narcissistic mascara streaked selfies with the story that your terrorist toddler makes your life so hard and you can’t do anything because of his separation anxiety , while at the same time you can have a whole 24 hours to yourself to do with what you want after having tattoo appointments, facials , event attendances and 2 luxury nights away with your husband in the last few weeks . Check your bloody massive privilege before you start berating other woman for questioning you trying to spin a narrative but showing a very different reality !!!

It will always amaze me how easy Caroline twists things to suit her narrative.
“Considering I can’t walk out of the room at home without it causing panic”. Give it all the way over Caroline, she swanned off to Dingle a few weeks back for the weekend so her Mam could feed her wine and tuck her into bed at night, overnight stays away from him, events, brunches, beauty appointments and everything else while he’s sat at home probably fine without her because it suits her then for him to be fine. It doesn’t suit her to navigate preschool with an anxious child, it doesn’t fit or suit your lifestyle so you pulls her son again for the second year running. It doesn’t give her any writing material or a selling point if he’s fine. She’s a shitshow of a parent, and her husband isn’t far behind her. That poor, poor little boy is going to be thrown so far in the deep end come next September for primary school, because it’s not optional. But I guess, lucky for Caroline, it’s easy to schedule beauty appointments and brunch around homeschooling

If she wants him to be an engineer she’d want to start by sending him to school

Anyone who ever takes a selfie of themselves crying needs a kick in the hole.

Sorry but that child should be in Montessori playing and learning with children his own age instead of being dragged to Botox appointments. She's a disgrace

That child needs to be told NO, why is that such a foreign concept to her
How is this “gentle parenting” crap working out for her so far?
I have a 5 year old and he’s the best behaved kid going, probably because I parent the opposite to what Crazy Caz does.

Imagine searching shops around Dublin for yellow chalk, they’re a pair of wack jobs. Creating a spoiled little shit who rules the roost

That mother’s instinct to immediately sell the results of your child’s diagnosis to thousands of strangers on the internet before even discussing it with your husband

All of this is so so true. How are the montessori allowing it? With my own son when he started, we hit a rough patch about 6 weeks in. The montessori were fantastic. Wouldn't let him cry for too long, sent pictures to show me he was fine and advised not hanging around that they would settle him. Worked like a charm after a few (admittedly tough) few days. I don't think they would allow all this coming in late malarkey. It just boggles my mind tbh.

Exactly this! Agree with what so many other posters have said today and yesterday. My little girl is a month younger than C, she's very sociable, has been at crèche for 2 years and did a summer scheme with all new toddlers during the summer YET today she had a total meltdown at preschool. It's our preschool's last day of the "adaptation period" and so parents were encouraged to drop off and leave asap. Teacher advised me to stay a while because my wee girl was in bits. My normally happy, confident, sociable girl was having none of it today and I needed to get to work, unfortunately that is life. When I did leave she had an absolute meltdown and I could hear her crying as I was walking down the corridor and I ended up crying myself which is out of character. But I didn't pull her out, I didn't take a photo for social media, I didn't let her pick up on how I was feeling. My daughter's wellbeing and education are more important than how I feel and I know it is very short term pain for long term gain. Of course part of you wants to scoop them up and run out of there and both go home and chill in your PJ's but what does that teach them? Sorry for rambling but I just think Caroline needs to understand that sometimes these things are hard for all kinds of children / mums / reasons and it is not just HER because she's sOoOoOo special. But most of us realise that the staff are highly trained and experienced in dealing with these situations and as hard as it may be for parents at times, we are helping our children learn about routinue and structure and also that their parents will always come back for them. Rant over.


Ps. Edited to add......and the pancakes! Sure why would you wanna go to school if you can get better treats and outings at home. I despair of her!

My god I just cannot fathom my mother putting all of this out into the internet about me and then reading it as an adult knowing every stranger known to man had read about my vulnerabilities which were laid bare by the one person whose sole purpose was to protect me

Literally doesn't realise that no one is hating on parenting memes.

It's not the memes Caroline, Jesus, it's the fact you share the memes after dedicating 4 years, your child's entire existence on this earth, to sharing how hard you specifically find your son, from day one how he's not what you expected, how your favourite place to be is in the sea so he can't follow you, stories about his most private potty training moments, his most personal specific fears.

So yeah people are reactive about the memes.

For someone so into pysychology and who supposedly overthinks things, you sure as shit don't understand the concept of nuance.

Honestly how much is there to do with a 4yo who's playing in the garden with toys? Though I suppose if she sat down she wouldn't have content

Silly troll, Caelan is only a tiny little baba and couldn't possibly play independently!!

He needs someone over his shoulder whispering:
"C are you nervous??"
"C is that person over there good or bad??"
"C LOOK ITS A DOG COMING AT YOU"
"Give mammy a kiss. No one loves you like mammy does never forget that. You need me and I need you "
Annnnnnd pause for prosecco selfie #blessed
