my solo journey to mom : Most liked Posts

The notions of her, genuinely interested people are missing out because she's not sharing her weaning journey........what the actual fuck, who does this one think she is. It would be a cold day in hell before I'd look to that fool for advice or inspiration on anything not to mind children.

As for her saying she could meet the love of her life in the next couple of years, unless he pops out from behind the sofa, under the bed or from the pile of unironed washing left all over the house I very much doubt it

Sorry now but i have absolutely no sympathy for her. None.
she chose to have a baby….she actually made the decision to have 2. She did this as a solo mom by choice knowing full well she would need to go back to work. She is a VERY lucky woman. Living at home with everything being done for her including her children minded. She was lucky being off before having them because of covid with full pay. If she was that concerned about going back to work well then don’t start your family until you are more financially secure to stay at home.It fucking pissed me off coming on crying for the gram looking for sympathy in a world where the majority of men and women have to go out to work. Yes it’s hard. Yes we would love to stay at home but we can’t. She was well able to head away for her nights away and have her late checkout and not a tear shed for those girls. Coming on then 10.30 at night saying she still had to shower and meal prep-why the hell couldn’t she do it all day? Get on with it. Ffs. Your a lucky woman Lisa with your situation at the moment. You have a brilliant family around you that do alot for those girls.

edit to say I am literally just back from a year off after having my baby so I’m well aware of how hard it is but we move. We chose to have a baby and we need to provide for that baby so we both work 12+ hrs shifts so I know exactly what she’s talking about

Sorry now this isn’t aimed at you but whoever came up with that ‘information’ needs a kick up the arse!! Most parents don’t want to give their child antibiotics but when your child is sick and a doctor is prescribing them most people don’t refuse and if your child later is diagnosed with extra needs it’s hard enough without thinking it was ‘caused’ by antibiotics again I’m not getting at the person who posted this but it triggers me, I have a child with special needs and I know I always think maybe it’s because I did x or y and not z!

OK Lisa...

I just don't understand why your full licence is relevant.


You've never had to support a household or anything... its a bit rich to say you've worked for everything when you've been sitting on your expanding arse for nigh on 3 years being paid by the HSE.

Slob.

Also in a world of fast fashion and the increase in price of just about everything I don’t think there is anything wrong with looking for preloved/used Halloween costumes for your little ones.. however I don’t believe Lisa was looking for second hand items, I think she was banking on some small Irish company busting their balls to send the twinnies two new costumes that would have easily cost double of what you’d get in the supermarket

I had to have surgery in the year when my son was 5 months old and I remember feeling so guilty thinking oh god what happens if bring Covid back and that was honestly one of my biggest worries despite it being a very much needed surgery and here’s this one getting nails, hair, lashes and brows done?

As my mam would say about people like her, can you imagine what she’d be like if she was good looking

Thread name suggestion
Lisa mind the girls and give granny a rest
And while you’re at it bin that black vest

Have to say I agree with this. I don’t think this will work out but booking fake appointments seems cruel.

Agree.
There is a fine line that crosses over to just being nasty. Fake bookings is crossing a line.
The business likely won't work she is unprofessional and a quick course doesn't make you an expert. But let it fail or succeed by her hands.

One child is saying dada, the two are sitting in the cots playing but all we ever see is them lying face down on a mat, she had up the other day that one of them made their way into the kitchen to see about her breakfast does she think we are fools. I call bullshit, again.

Solo Mom: Liar, liar, please set those god awful nightgowns on fire

I had my baby (now I’m only the mother of a single baby so I know it means nothing) anyway had them with me in Tesco and I’d usually throw in the buggy but realised I hadn’t got it so went to the trollers, there was only the option of a twin trolly, so I used it because I couldn’t carry him around and he’s too small for the normal trolly with the seat for older child that you pull out. Well the absolute fear I had, anytime I heard anything I thought it was going to be Lisa coming for me.
I live on the other side of the country but I know how strongly she feels about it.

I’m just gona say it- she’s not upset because she’ll miss the girls-she’s upset because she has to work and can’t sit at home

Solo mom? Pull the other, twins being raised by milky mates and your mudder!

So wait, Ayda had a nap yesterday of 3 hours 20 minutes and then slept last night for 14 hours? That’s almost 17 and a half hours sleep in a 24 hour period.. I’m not great at math but does that mean that child was only awake for 6 and a half hours within those 24 hours? If true, that’s shocking and not in a wow well done Mom kinda way, more wow in a wow have you said this to your gp kinda way.

Long time lurker first time poster. Anyone else find it hilarious she is lecturing parents on portion control and kids being full, when she is the size of a house. I’d be mortified talking about feeding my kids healthy this and that, shaming people who buy packet veggie sticks when watermelon is just as easy and looking like that slob. How does she not address the fact her life style is that of a couch potato chicken wrap eating slob all while lecturing parents on kids eating and sleeping! Omg she drives me nuts

I've been a lurker of these threads and she still manages to baffle me.

Now, don't get me wrong when I first heard about her, back when she announced she was pregnant with the girls, I did admire her for a short time. Being 31 myself, out of a long term relationship and carrying the trauma of how abusive said relationship was, I admired the fact that she was doing it on her own. It led me to believe that it was possible and whilst taking time away for the moment to get past the trauma, if I still feel I would like kids, then I know there's the possibility of doing it solo.

That being said.....

I noticed not too long when the girls went home after their time in the hospital, everyone was getting settled, she was taking the absolute fucking piss altogether. I'm by no means stating that having kids is easy, I've witness friends go through post partum depression, however, one friend also having twins and I never once witness her sit in the same pj's, or any form of clothing, for days on end. To her defence, her partner has been an absolute blessing who ended up returning to work after 4 weeks leave and that's when my friend admitted she was struggling but never once did she allow herself to glue herself on the couch and expect others to help (which she has help left right and center, prefers to actually mother her own kids)

Then to top it all off, calling herself the baby sleeper whisperer whatever the fuck. She's a first time mother with twins and certainly won't be the last. Her "knowledge and skills" derive from the fact that she counts down the seconds to when the girls go back to sleep. She doesn't leave the house with them. She's taken over her parents house. She quit a civil service job that she could do twice a week (from what I remember) to set up a business that I'm sure most of the consultations were made by people who wanted to know what bollocks she would sprout out, worse off that there's some that actually paid for her to say "just stick them into bed at 6pm and blast the white noise machine to the highest level, glue yourself to the couch and thank me later". Honestly I'd rather Supernanny tell me on a daily basis that I was useless than listen to Lisa talk about how many times a child should go to sleep.

The girls look fed up with life already!

Back when I was a kid, it was shoved into the pram, out for the day and if I fell asleep in the pram, I was left there, in another room, louds noises all around me. I was happy as a pig in shit doing whatever activities that was done with my own mother who was a single parent, working 2 jobs, didn't ask for help even when it was needed and my mam certainly didn't take over her parents house. A freebie was getting something off a friend or family that was handed down and you were damn proud of it.

I had to unfollow her when she started weaning the girls. It's like she wants them to be in Junior Infants already so she can have her "me time" back. Stop making them try to grow up Lisa. Let them be kids. Let them hear loud noises. Let them stay up late for fucks sake.

OK.. this might be unpopular opinion but here goes.

She is struggling, what's she described the other day is depression. Being wound up, irritable, low mood etc. I know everyone laughing and like oh wish I could call my mother out of her bed at 4am but after all the murder suicide , killing of innocent children in Ireland lately I'm glad she got her mother to help if she wasn't coping. I have a baby, colic and reflux and one night I had to walk out of the room cause the thoughts that entered my head were frightening.

No fear ladies and gents, I too have my own very real qualification certificate, I’m officially qualified in talking shite just like Lisa. Now charging €1000 for a text, I might reply if you’re lucky, I might be sick tomorrow so there’s no guarantee so just keep your phone on you all day.

Black out blinds with black out curtains over them so the kids don’t see so much as a sliver of light, it’ll be light because you’re putting them down to sleep in the early evening.. what also rilly rilly helps is painting the room black, have all members of the house wear only black by 3pm and have your littles wear sunglasses in the house by early afternoon, follow for more tips x
