I’m gutted for her, but in saying that, there is no way I would be having a second child right now with the first being the way he is. She has no control so adding a baby into the mix for him to be jealous of is asking for trouble.

I'm a huge fan of letting kids be kids and they are allowed to take up space the same way an adult is. I agree. But when people are leaving because of your kids you really need to step in and step up.

I was going to say the same thing! It makes me so mad when people use "kids being kids" when they're basically not in control of their kids. It's just lazy parenting and gives the gentle parenting term they throw around a bad name when they're actually permissive.

I agree, no idea why she wants to add another child to the mix when she has struggled (and continues to struggle) so much with parenting Arlo and seems to find it entirely joyless.

Arlo doesn't come across as a gentle child - which is fine, he's just a baby himself - but I can't imagine him being calm around a newborn. Im not slagging off a child but I don't think Arlo is ready for a sibling yet.

I don't watch her stuff very often but she always looks so miserable.

She talked about having recently had a chemical pregnancy. They are very much consistently TTC since the miscarriage. I really do think having two kids will flip her over the edge.
 
A hard day with Arlo. She didn't say much just that she was his comfort and punch bag.
Is Arlo ND?
