Ash Mama Reid

PEER PRESSUSE IS A BAD WORD - I listen to kids through my profession and I'll tell you something , it absolutely heart wrenching listening to them , watching what they're going through , when I do eventually finish work I drive home in tears ???
The amount of kids feeling suicidal because of peer pressure is unbelievable . There parents try their dammed hardest on what they can afford . I've lost quite a few of my kids as I don't relate to them as patients and by god no one on this earth wants to watch a family go the that what some have had to. I've chosen to do this and I do love my job especially when I see my kids walking out that door fighting back . All these things are materialistic but when your young and nieve you just think you've not got what someone else has got , or I wish we had that or could do the same as them. If you give all your love and attention to a child well your doing a fantastic job .

Don’t you think that how these mum vloggers work too though. For example when I had my son 4 years I go I would YouTube tips on feeding a newborn or even how to get them settle, that’s how I found a lot of these ladies you start following them on instagram get hooked on there videos cos there just your wee pal helping you out telling you to buy this that the next thing. Before your know it your £100 out of pocket after a quick visit to home bargains cos ma wee pal Ash says I should buy x y z shite. It’s only now coming to light how much is gifted and actually free so there for we are actually watching adverts and she’s not just your wee pal she’s actual a sales woman.

Yes definitely Shazza , they get gifted a lot of expensive items and go on YouTube and tell everyone how wonderful it is so any normal wee mum will put there self into debt for .
I absolutely admire those single girls that are trying to raise a family .
Going on about my work again and I'll be honest and please not take it the wrong way , the kids that have had everything handed to them on a plate wouldn't thank you for a thing and want more , but the less fortunate one's seem to appreciate more .Some youtubers don't even use some of the gifts they receive as Mrs Meldrum said in one of her vlogs and there's some that are gifted large expensive items and then have the cheek after they've used them sell them to other people , why can they not gift it onto someone else who's not in the position to buy it .
Ashs wee girl was gifted a doll days before Xmas yet there's some poor mum that probably had to borrow to buy it . Some YouTube girl probably put themselves in debt to prove there doing as good as others . You tube is not going to keep them forever , loved to no where they'll be in 10 years time .

And another point why oh why would you willingly put near enough every aspect of your children’s life’s on YouTube/instagram for every Tom dick n Harry to see. I feel sick to my stomach to think of some of the vile beasts that must watch some of these min vloggers just to see the kids. That enough would make me press that delete button ASAP. Fair enough if people like Ash had some to offer off there own backs but apart from steak bake dog food cooking vids she doesn’t so just quit hen

She couldn't possibly do her YouTube without her kids . She's dull ,doring , and I for one only watched it when she was pregnant with wee Charlie , to see her wedding dress then was to c her new house , in other words just to be pure nosey .
She basically didn't want to return to her previous Matalan job so she's trying to do this full time but I think it's failing big time . When Charlie was a new born she was away down to Channel Mum but had to leave Ella at Nannas , she done a live in Billingtons coffee shop which is local to her , done a Mammas & Pappas pushchair review which she was given one for free but don't recall her ever doing anything else unless it's all behind the scenes. She's making money from doing something as Big Fras copper wage will not cover the life style their living .
I've seen the consequences with kids being groomed by online preditors so to voluntarily put your kids on view to the world your taking a big , big risk . I've showed my mum a few of her videos and she even pointed Ella out in Asda "oh that's the wee dame that's on the laptop " shut up mum ???
Taking pictures & making videos of your kids for memories for yourself , yes I agree with but I would ban them from social media until the age of 16

 

[black ripped skinnies]

The comment about your mum saying wee dame on the laptop cracked me up ???

I've never paid much attention to Ash's teeth before, I always thought they looked quite nice, but I've been casting old videos on the telly and I'm not sure how I missed the fact she's had them done! It's blindingly obvious on the big screen ??

 

[Bernie]

On come on Black Ripped Skinnies , you can't miss them she's like Shergar the horse ???. Her teeth meet you before she does ???

And she’s still not declared them as gifted. Wait hold up Matalan job?? Thought she worked in banking or finance

I know, I should have spotted a mile off, my mum's a dentist ffs ?? I grew up having her talking about teeth every bloody day ?

[Bernie]

Shazza , if you class working in Matalans office as banking then am as confused as you .
No she said she done Banking at uni but I think she's at the lying again . On minute she done design so she could make all her own clothes , Another big flop on that 1, then it was Banking but I think she actually meant Secretarial Studies ( a fancy name for a Typist ) Just thinks she likes to blow her on trumpet ??

 

[Rockdj]

Just catching up. I concur and in a nutshell in the words of Gerry cinnamon. She is a belter ??? n not in the good sense ?

 

[theweemum]

Ash has said how Ella favours the look of a Burmese great/grandparent. I remember distinctly as a couple of people have commented about their children or grandchildren having Burmese heritage,as do mine.Ash has never responded to the comments or questions in at least the last year.

I did some hefty Facebook stalking the other day. Fra's brother is "exotic" looking too

 

[theweemum]

Yep I noticed the lack of play dates too. Especially since they have the kids play room set up. You’d think she’d have people over for the kids to socialise or even meet up in a soft play/ or a park some where. I also commend Eilidh for posting the toy car garage thing Oliver got is from a charity shop and only cost £10, the same toy was gifted to Ash as she featured it on a vlog as an advert. This is what mummy vloggers need to show more of. Lucy Jessica Carter has said before too that she buys most of her kids toys from charity shops which I think is great.

my 3 year old daughter and my 3 year old niece are both obsessed with shopkins. I always buy them new bits from eBay

 

[theweemum]

I have a playroom and try and have neighbours kids over etc when I’m in the house all day for company. Her new build estate is only like 16 houses? So I reckon there will be plenty of kids her age as neighbours but she hasn’t seemed to make any friends?

Oh I never realised Eilidh got it from a charity shop! That’s brilliant, love her vlogs and she’s a breath of fresh air in the instamum world! In her vlogs her house is messy and that’s exactly what mine is like with a newborn. I just can’t believe her and Ash are friends ?

She’s in 3 hours a day when Ash is at home all day. Try working full days with kids in nursery and then moan about missing them. Honestly if it was me I would make the most of having Charlie to myself and give him all the attention for 3 hours. This annoys me too, there is no way he is napping 1-4, 2-5 and then going down to bed at 7/8!! When my son has a danger nap like that and a long one we are up til 10/11 trying to get him to sleep ?? so he’s just cut his nap completely at 2. I don’t even think he needs a nap she forces it.

I noticed in one of Elidhs stories the other day that her house looked messy and I was taken back a little by it. Because it was so normal looking lol it's just normal life with a toddler and newborn. There might have been a bit of mess but her house still looked beautiful and little Oliver was happily dancing away in the video

 

[theweemum]

Aw is she at nursery in MOC cause her mum stays there? I just assumed bishopbriggs cause that’s where she lived. That’s fair enough a lot of people place their kids where their grandparents are. Something happened remember, she bid for a house got told to sell and the house she wanted went to someone else and she already sold her house. She had no choice but to move but I’m surprised she went for a newbuild because she done so much work to her first house and made it really lovely. I’m in a newbuild and apart from a garage conversion which she’s kind of done you can’t do much to it apart from wallpapering. Don’t get me started on the tiled bedroom ? so not safe for young children if they’re on her bed. She’s tried to make her home a show home rather than what’s best for kids and a dog!

Totally agree with that she’ll be trying to fit in with the dancing mums. I follow kimmyg and really like her Instagram! She has her own business, beautiful kids and you see her taking them out walks, softplay and nursery. She seems a great mum. A lot of her stuff is designer but she’s not flaunting it at every opportunity like Ash. Their kids go to the same dancing but I bet they can’t be bothered with Ash.

I LOVE kimmyg! In one story she's shouting at the boys " GET OFF THAT TABLE!!" and the next story she's on the floor laughing and playing with them. No other insta mum would put up videos of them screaming at their kids haha but we all know every one does it!

 

[theweemum]

New vlog! let's all de-brief in 30/40 minutes

Ok first 5 secs what a pile of shite so fake so rehearsed ?

The chat on here tonight has been hilarious!! ?? This is going to make me sound like a super stalker but I did just follow her from the very start! it’s like mama reid is my specialist subject! ?? She done fashion and design at cale uni and then worked in a bank, I reckon in an office or something like that. She was on maternity leave with Charlie when she quit. When you think about how much childcare costs for 2 kids a lot of people don’t go back to work so she really could have just done YouTube as a hobby and seen where it went. I know her mum watches them loads but her mum must surely help Lauren out too? Must be hard doing ALL the childcare since they don’t talk to Fra’s family anymore.

Totally agree with Shaza ultimately paedos will watch all these videos, why anyone would risk their child’s safety for their personal gain who knows. Another thing that bugs me is when they say I do this for memories to look back on ?? so why not have 3000 photos and videos on your phone like everyone else. Load of shite.

I love Eilidh! I actually would like to have her as a friend and I’m sure that’s why people like her so much she’s just a normal person. She tells it exactly how it is. My mum said that to me too, her house was messy and how refreshing it was she never had it immaculate before filling. Definitely made me feel better.

I think kimmyg should do YouTube. Love her stories and her boys look so much fun. I don’t know where she finds the time to do anything. Regardless of her family business, the way she parents is mum goals to me.
