She’s sooo odd isn’t she!!!Ugh I just get such bad vibes off her. I’d be heartbroken if I saw one of my parents had written this
How's she going to cope with his tantrums?She’s sooo odd isn’t she!!!
If she feels like this now, it’s only going to get worse when Alf starts to move and becomes even more demanding when he hits the toddler stage.
Wtf is she in about ...many women would give their eye teeth to have a healthy baby, irrespective of gender...Wtf hatred of men??
She wants a girl to bestow all her ‘knowledge’ on??!
I don’t think she should have any more kids, she makes it all about her
I came here for this. I honestly can’t imagine how she’s ok saying it.Ugh I just get such bad vibes off her. I’d be heartbroken if I saw one of my parents had written this
She’s always said this, you can see it in her face when they did a confetti balloon gender reveal… hard to get a screenshot but she has such a fixed fake smileUgh. She’s now saying she’d have preferred a girl. No words.
I didn’t realise. Alfie is such a lovely little boy - she needs to take a reality check and count her blessings.She’s always said this, you can see it in her face when they did a confetti balloon gender reveal… hard to get a screenshot but she has such a fixed fake smile

What even is that? I had a google and it just sounds like a normal nurseryOfc she's looking into Montessori
It's essentially a teaching style that's very popular with rich people. The grounds of it are that they let kids explore creatively and learn themselves without much direction. They're expected to do things that interest them and learn the skills they want to learn rather than being sat down and taught things, IIRC. It aims to make kids independent at a young age - for instance, in the morning, you would let your child choose what clothes to wear without any direction or changes (so they could choose a thick wool jumper on a very hot day for arguments sake). One of the key things is that everything should be accessible to the child from an early age. They also advocate putting mirrors right next to mattresses from a very young age so that baby can see themselves and use it to self soothe, I think (they don't tend to use cots).What even is that?

Ahh thanks for the detail in this. On the surface I thought it was very much like normal nursery as my 3 year old and walks into his nursery room and can do what he fancies inside or out but obviously there is structure for meals and story time etc but they are quite flexible.It's essentially a teaching style that's very popular with rich people.

It's where all the bland wooden toys with no paint on come from, because bright colours are too stimulating or some bullshit. II don't think they do discipline either, there's no 'No', but redirection or 'positive' disciplining.
Loads of videos on youtube about it. On the surface and in some circumstances it can seem really good for a bit, but my opinion is that it's only good up to a point and can be used alongside other styles of parenting - there are reports of kids who were raised in Montessori schools can't read or write because they were never pushed to do that kind of work.
Oh, I think they can do painting and things like messy play, but it's if they choose to do it. So if your kid isn't into picking up a paintbrush and whacking paint on a bit of paper, they could never learn how to do it.Ahh thanks for the detail in this.
