Ashley James #45 The Science of Parenting - won’t sleep? Won’t eat? Prolapse? Soft play!

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
She’s all for increasing wages and fair pay but when looking at less than £25/hr (40hr week, if they’re 8-6 it’d be >£20) for someone to take care of her two children who need constant supervision, feeding, nappies changing while providing the setting, equipment, facilities etc she doesn’t like it.

If she were a lower earner she’d be entitled to support, earning over £100k puts her in the top 4%. She could put anything over that into a pension to bring her below £100k and get the free spaces, but we know our Ash would never work the system (hello help to buy scheme).
(I’m not saying I agree with the system but she’s only got her own naivety to blame that she’s now facing this)

Betting she’ll get a Nanny/Au Pair to save money for a year rather than considering the best environment for Alf. Conveniently they’ll be able to start ASAP and she won’t have to do until Sept with the kids by herself after all.

How she can claim she’s a ‘working’ mum after those stories is beyond me. This week she’s chatted tit for 15 minutes. Gone shopping for a bra, got a spray tan and forgot to film a get ready with me. Oh and she’s dug out her old hairdryer instead of Michael cos of the cost of living crisis she keeps banging on about like she’s suffering.
It’s so bleeping INSULTING to actual working mums
Troll, she also sorted all her Polly Pockets 🤣🤣🤣

Troll, she also worked online asking how best to clean said Polly Pockets ‘for London’ AND put on make up while her zombified girl child was stage directed to stand in front of her to hear and absorb her wise words about make up wearing. Can’t be sure but think Tommy and boy child were downstairs folding laundry.

Does Tommy or anyone in her actual life not look at her and then her online content and just question the utter bullshit? She hasn’t breastfed Ada other than in the evening for the last 7 months? She literally just posted a video of Ada feeding yesterday? She cracks her tit out every time she’s on the train, standing up at the photo wall in Hamleys, around the pool in France? She’s actually nuts. She will say anything to fit the narrative of a new post or ad.
Plus now claiming she only owns ONE bra when she literally posted a lingerie set like a day ago and said every time she gets a comment on her body she buys a new set?

I wonder what child free, not wanting children Ash would have thought about everyone paying more tax so that those with children could benefit from free childcare?

This weird lion king ‘era’ she’s in… it’s like she’s an aunt looking after 3 kids who has no idea how to entertain them so she just does the same thing on loop and videos it for their parents 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Whilst also showing them out of the cell playroom. Hi tattlers

No it’s not a deer Ash. It’s probably a bloody antelope. Whys she calling giraffes ‘guff’? No wonder he’s delayed.

All round bleeping odd

“I would rather pay A BIT more tax and have free childcare”. I mean wouldn’t most Ashley? But your childcare costs aren’t going to be fixed under labour as they aren’t going to extend free hours past the 100k threshold. Ashley isn’t struggling and it’s patronising for her to suggest she feels it when she is choosing to pay for a more expensive house and more expensive childcare in London vs what she currently has access too. There is simply no need for her to be in London, she lives on the high speed line. She doesn’t socialise in London because she has no friends, it’s nothing to do with Essex. Funnily enough any time she goes into London in recent weeks she doesn’t meet any friends, it’s only ever Jas who was also dragged in. I can’t believe she still thinks London is going to be some sort of magic answer to her misery

AS IF Alfie has the skill to make up a song and rhyme ‘four’ with ‘dinosaur’ come ON Ash 🙄

‘just a couple of girls watching MAFS’ wow just what every 14 month old loves to do of a morning. Also ‘when daddy comes home’ when daddy comes home what? He sits on the sofa?

Also that ‘coolest’ jacket is a disgrace, it’s straight out of a church hall physic’s wardrobe.

Does she really think you can chuck ‘a bit’ of tax in the system and childcare is free 🥴

Don’t worry about training up childcare workers which takes time. There’s a little thing call ratios. Or is she planning on taking those off the boats and straight into wiping bums? What about finding buildings big enough to physically hold and cater for every baby and toddler of Britain from 0 days old?

Childcare workers need to be paid adequately so I don’t think those figures she has are too unfair. She can’t look after her own kids but expects to pay someone else pittance to do it. She romanticises the Scandi countries where it costs £10 for a can of coke.

‘I will criticise labour when they’re in power’ Yeah…a bandwagon to jump on…. Ashley James for PM 🥴🥴🥴🥴

All I can say about the whole childcare situation is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I mean, thank goodness she reads tattle, otherwise, she would be more shocked! I hope Alfie goes to a childcare setting where they advocate for him - we accidentally found what I think was the best nursery for our kids! They fought alongside us to get the help we needed - they had paperwork in place and fought so when my oldest when to school they thrived!

I really, really, hope someone soon starts advocating for that poor little boy.

I don’t get how anyone is sympathising with her? She’s moving to London for “work”, when her “job” is almost entirely online from home. She chooses to shove her kids in childcare full time, despite most mothers getting into this career so that they can spend more time with their kids?

Grow up. You have two children. Sometimes you have to put other people’s needs ahead of your own.

She’s genuinely the only influencer I can think of to put their 6 month old baby in full time childcare? Every other person, particularly mothers do this job in order to be flexible around family life whereas Ashley uses as an excuse to do the opposite.

Childcare has always been expensive, she just isn't aware because it didn't affect her before.

Nearly 20 years ago, Labour were probably in power then, I was paying £700pm for part time hours after any free hours, I also worked nights to reduce the hours I needed.

What she's been quoted doesn't seem to bad. She doesn't even need full-time so suck it up buttercup - either pay it or stay home and parent your children.
