What is the point in having another when you barely see the one you have
They’re in for some shock unless, as has been said here, they get a live in nanny or TNB parents move in/take Alf away for the first 3-6 months.What is the point in having another when you barely see the one you have
Well, quite!What is the point in having another when you barely see the one you have
I agree.It will be interesting, for sure.
I think she'll go for a planned C-section, won't breastfeed for as long, and get childcare sooner.
What’s really annoying is that she’s not really that much of a lockdown mum, mine was born a couple months after Alf and everything was open and back to relative normality within a couple of weeks. I was taking mine to groups and all the rest of it by the time she was a few weeks old.She blames so much on being a lockdown mum but in a honesty, I don't see her behaving much different, if anything, I think she could potentially be worse.
Agree- my child was born same time as Alf. We were locked down for a few months I think, but that was actually lovely, no visitors, apart from to the window occasionally, gave us time to really bond as a 3 and learn our own way. I was taking mine to classes at around 5/6 months though so it really wasn’t that long. It then of course locked down again like for Christmas 21 but again we were happy just being the 3 of us. We both have big families close by so we would never spend Christmas just us usually but we loved it. Maybe it says more about her relationship than anything else if she’s always craving being able to leave home.What’s really annoying is that she’s not really that much of a lockdown mum, mine was born a couple months after Alf and everything was open and back to relative normality within a couple of weeks.

Yes fine it was lockdown while she was pregnant, which was tit, but she can’t keep harping back to it and blaming it for everything.
I agree with you whole heartedly. But as someone listed above, Ashley hasn’t had it tough like your average person having a billion getaways, gifted experiences, private ‘mummy MOT’s’ which she could afford. She even saw private dermatologists during the ‘easing’ of lockdown for her rashy boobs. She documented meeting with new mummy friends.Sorry but I disagree with those saying she wasn't a lock down Mum. Lockdown didn't really end just like that, the knock on effect went on and on. My first child was born shortly after Alf. No antenatal classes, limited midwife face to face contact, after they were born no activity classes, peer support or breastfeeding support cafes etc for months. Even then, after being scared throughout pregnancy, still didn't know the effects on a baby, no vaccine I wasn't in a hurry to expose my new born to covid. Our first classes when they did open were done wearing masks, babies couldn't touch and had to sit apart. It was really horrible in my experience. Perhaps being rural with limited options in the first place didn't help but the experience of friends and family not being able to visit, meeting the through a window, being scared when finally people could come in or they still didn't want to being scared themselves to spread anything.
I applaud you all that got out there and got on with it but being able to go to the park or visit one friend really wasn't what I'd dreamed of for the past 40 years or waiting to have a baby. I don't think their grandparents thought they'd be waiting months to meet them either. If she genuinely felt limited by lockdowns and covid, I would say it's completely valid.
Interesting. She said before they were going to have to wait for the outdoor kitchen as they couldn't afford itJust another day during the cost of living crisis… outdoor kitchen for the win!
I’m sure Alf & the wildlife will love that!
