I think phoebe's line should be our new thread title... "don't be a dick. Even if there's promise of gelato"

I wonder what songs remind her of the day they met? Wheels on the bus? Old McDonald had a farm?

Her post today really wound me up. I feel like she does nothing but complain. She has such an easy, charmed life and she takes it completely for granted. She chose to get pregnant, she knew there was a pandemic going on. I find her so hard to deal with because she honestly is living the life I dreamed of when I was younger. I always just wanted to be a stay at home mum, with a nice husband and a nice house.

She has it all and it all comes so easy to her. I have to work my arse off for every little thing I have. Fallen pregnant as soon as she wanted to - twice. And it turns out my husband and I can't have babies.

Complains about her husband working all the time and not seeing him but he has enough time to lay a new floor for her. I can't get mine to change a light fitting for me because he is literally working all the time.

She was complaining about not being able to see her family, and then she posted photos on her granparents doorstep! I get she was dropping off items and it's not the same as going in and sitting with them. I'd lost all my grandparents and my dad by the time I was her age.

She is so privileged and she has everything she could ever want or need. Lockdown is hard for everyone. I was glad there was a comment on that stupid post from today.

Sorry for the incoherent rambling. I just really needed to rant about her today!

She looks like Stevie Wonder in this photo!

called out.

I fixed it

Her reply to that poor lady couldn’t have been more dismissive. And that statement “it’s so hard to balance as a parent isn’t it?” Errr, not really Grabby. I’d say it’s pretty fucking basic to 99.9% of parents. Don’t let your one year old sit/play on top of the hob whilst it’s on. Just like don’t have a wood burning stove on and at child level with no fireguard around it. Don’t go on holiday to an Airbnb with 3 flights of stairs and no stair gates. Don’t dress your child in trousers so big for them that they’re likely to trip over. Don’t balance your baby in bike baskets just for photos for the ‘gram. Don’t allow your 13 year old to date a 24 year old grown man... oh wait. Yep. She’s that 0.1% that needs it spelling out

RVK Loves #20 Judith Chalmers has nothing on me; I’m off on a global Covid spree

**Grabby and Benpecked’s Lockdown schedule 2020**

*Wake up naturally by sunlight streaming through gifted shutters - no alarm clock needed as no commute to run for

*Head off to dreamy cow parsley fields for a run (don’t look left it’s the M25) while other parent sits and plays with baby’s beige toys

* God forbid it’s raining!!!!!! But if it is, no fear! The schedule can adapt to an online Pilates/barre/reformer class from a quiet, undisturbed room again, whilst other parent occupies only child of 10 months old

*post-exercise bowl of pre-prepared slop, sorry, Bircher, overnight chia topped oats with the milk from the breasts of a vestal virgin

*after breakfast potter in garden/allotment/mum’s garden taking pictures of alliums/peonies/tetanus-inducing sandpits and poo brown stripy paddling pools

*Hearty dinner of salad leaf and couscous with {this guy}, spend whole evening fretting about how they will fit breakfast in together in their tight schedule

Hard life, Grabby.

I’m so, so angry!! So angry I’ve actually just set up a burner account so I can comment on her reel, typed out a massive long message, only to realise I can’t post it because she’s restricted comments on her post So as I know you and benpecked check tattle (although you claim not to because tattle is for “jealous trolls” ) I’m gonna leave my message here for you to read Grabby, you utterly selfish and truly shit mother….

I wasn’t going to comment, but your smug “January is too cold and dreary for me so I parented in California instead” caption has infuriated me. Your daughter is in reception, she should be in school. You took her out of school right before Christmas for your 2 week trip to Turks and Caicos, then she had 2 weeks off for Christmas, then she was back a week and you’ve dragged her out of school AGAIN to go to California because God forbid you spend January in the UK So Freya will be back at school a week, then it’s February half term so another week off. You’re not “parenting” at all! At least, not in the normal sense of the word, where individuals who have children act like responsible, unselfish adults who put their children first. You are trying to live your pre-child life as though you don’t have children to think about, and dragging your kids along for the ride regardless of how it affects them. Now before the haters come for me, I’m not against term time holidays - in fact I totally see the value in being together as a family, and for a lot of parents a week away in term time is the only way they can afford a holiday. A week away in term time once a year is fine. You’ve been away for 5 weeks in the last 2.5 months. That is far from necessary, and not at all responsible when you have a reception aged child. As a former primary school teacher, the early years are SO important, even if they don’t “have to” be in school yet (as you keep spouting ) They are the building blocks of education, a time of learning social skills, learning phonics, learning the rules and how to cope in a school setting. After next week - February half term- Freya will be half way through her first year of school and she’s barely been there. Year one is going to hit that poor child like a ton of bricks because she’ll have missed out on most of her early years of school life where you get to play and have fun. All so you can post smug instagram reels about how you decided to “parent in California” instead You think it makes you look like a great parent, I can assure you no one is thinking this. Anyone watching the video knowing the age of your daughter will just see an irresponsible mother who puts bragging on Instagram before her daughter.

Rebeggar we know you read here, so I think I can say on behalf of all of us Tattlers a gigantic THANK YOU for taking one for the team and going abroad.
This thread had dried up like week old halibut because you were boring us all to tears. But lo, in the space of 24 hours all is right with the world again.
We have sat mouths agape and hearts swelling with the joy of your tightwaddery, your inability to make sensible choices in accommodation and your hopeless parenting fails.

This will keep us going for days, DAYS I tell you.

Tempted to go on your recent post and ask if you had gelato while you were there and if so could we please see a picture, because people get SUCH joy from seeing a cone of someone else's ice cream.
Or perhaps I'll ask if you could recommend any packet charcuterie emporiums, despite my being a life long vegetarian. Just for the delight at seeing you with your tupperware tubs (not a euphemism) out.

This actually reflects what she's missing.

Eating dreamy pizza. Growing courgettes. Taking photos of pink doors. Thinking an Asian person on your flight is a member of Isis. Buying stuff from Primark. Doing hand heart shapes. Being nasty about relatives. Taking a photo of gelato before binning it because she doesn't eat anything with sugar, fat, alcohol, deep fried, or flavour. Photos of magnolias. Offloading Freya with parents. Naff passport style photos from Shoreditch House. Going somewhere with great culture and eating English food. Photos of her swinging her bag like a 5 year old. Nauseating photos of kissing that guy behind a hat. Taking photos of tiles. Having her nails tippexed. Photos of wisteria. Going on influencer jollies which do the company more harm than good. Driving 500 miles to take a photo of her looking at the ground. Going to France and buying baguettes and croissants. Photos on a bike at Soho House. Taking Freya somewhere dressed inappropriately for the weather and wearing age 14 clothes. Flat lays of passports, a panama hat and enormous sandals. Photos in front of a pink wall. Date nights with that guy. Photos of flowers against walls. Saying "Lady, my husband earns 10 x more than yours". Going to Italy and discovering it's really Italian. Photos of her standing on someone's beach hut/door step. Adding to the world record breaking basket collection. Having friends round for breakfast. Photos of blossom. Driving into London as it's too stressful being with peasants. Going to New York to shop at supermarkets and take photos of pumpkins. Sunday barbecue night with her family. Taking photos of colourful houses. Pink wellies ad nauseam. 'Hydrangea goals'. Reminding everyone for the 10 billionth time that she used to live in London. 'Family love'. Taking photos of her feet in virtually every continent on Earth. "I have this thing for tiles". Endless pizza photos. Going on holiday and moaning about all the tourists.


I could go on, but have practically lost the will to live.

She’s so disingenuous. She can’t cope with seeing other people happy but when she’s got some news to share everyone is meant to give a shit.

She’s literally the worst!

Next thread title

T'was me. And I am now blocked. Probably for the best to be honest. My baby is 2 months younger than hers and her constant drivvle, ramblings, humble bragging, holidays, lack of awareness of how lucky she is has negatively impacted on my already delicate post partum mental health. I don't know why I got so riled. I am actually doing ok at the moment but I just am so sick of her constant perfection interspersed with the odd oh my God I might be getting PND. It is so so damaging. And then the more she just surrounds herself with all these arse lickers and blocks out any challenges. I can't believe she has a law degree because she is completely unable to formulate a coherent response to challenge. I just want people like her to be accountable and answerable for the potential damage they are doing. Anyway I fear I've gone in too deep and it's negative for me...a new mum, having lost my own mum in the last few years, trying to balance all my emotions and be a good mum.

New thread suggestion:
Rebeccaloves__#51 You do you, it depends what you value

Let’s play bingo for the re-entry post if she has been away;

- “we realise we are so so so lucky”
- “recognise this would not be right for everyone/you make the choices for your family”
- “so lucky that Freya’s school was so supportive/encouraging”
- “learned just as much if not more than she would at school” (bonus points for every sighting of an activity curated to look educational)

…. it’s a tricky one, isn’t it?

If my 12 year old daughter brought home a 24 year old man I’d be unable to moderate my alcohol intake too.

She doesn't know how to advertise tyres without shoehorning in that she's still a better mother than you, lady.

I'm surprised there wasn't a shot of her sitting cross legged on the garage floor breastfeeding Waffy whilst they checked her tread depth.
