She’s gone HAM on the idea of it being SEN. When at the moment there’s no diagnosis or clear situation either way, it’s just one thing that’s being considered. It could just be his temperament or his own timeline of development. Not to mention some of the half arsed parenting and constantly being exasperated by regular toddler behaviour that her see.
I’d not be in a rush to share something in such early stages of being considered, when it’s not even definitive - and if things do go that what then sit with it for a while and figure out how to help him, not use it for content. I really didn’t like how she laid into that woman who suggested it’s unfair to Arlo to film all of his ‘worst’ moments and post them on the internet moaning about him.

I think the best thing for Liv would be to get a normal job again. Get into a proper routine, meet some new people as she doesn’t really seem to mention friends etc. She seems to have been sucked into pinning her self worth to likes/subscribes and taking it to heart that she doesn’t have a big fancy house like some other influencers.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. A health visitor suggests SEN and now all of a sudden all of her videos are about her SEN child which isn’t even diagnosed. Seems like a Normal toddler to me.

I also don’t understand mothers commenting on her videos praising her as they also have children with SEN. I would be like ‘why are you pretending your kid has SEN?’ I would be quite annoyed I think!

She seems like an attention seeker to me. First depression, then she has ADHD. Now her child has SEN and now the birth trauma.

Oh and the PND.

Seems like she has everything.

I have watched her for a few months now, I don’t watch her cleaning videos but I watch her vlogs. I used to quite like her but I’m having mixed thoughts now. She always mentions her adhd but she’s said herself she’s never been diagnosed so I don’t think she should be constantly going on about it, but it does seem like a trend with these influencers. I could imagine for people who do actually have ADHD they would find this frustrating. Her boyfriend is a total wet wipe. Interested in others thoughts on her.

“living a Mum’s worst nightmare at the moment” - I’m not trying to belittle her/disregard her feelings but surely every mum in the world knows that not being sure where you’ll move to in April is not a Mum’s worst nightmare. Stressful? Sure. But when there are Mum’s losing their children, or whose children are seriously ill it puts things in to perspective. Before anyone says it, I’m not saying she isn’t allowed to feel stressed or worried or sad, they’re all valid feelings, I just hate the way she’s captioned it “a mum’s worst nightmare”.

She's always saying how her son is always "2 hours late to nursery".

If its taking her 2 hours to get ready and him out the house, either set an alarm clock earlier or change the morning schedule. She's going to be screwed when he starts school in September, unless she decidea homeschool.

Yes he may be SEN or whatever title she's giving him for content, but I know a couple of mums who have SEN kids and they manage to get ready for school on time?!

 

[Puffin_island]

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.

 

[Thinkevilthoughts]

My thoughts kind of go on and off really.

So I like her and I think she’s great with arlo.

But I feel like she’s trying to make her depression and his ‘SEN’ her personality.

I’ve taken anti depressants for years but I don’t bang on about it.

Every video has the same title.

IMO he has presented as a normal toddler of the age he was at whatever given time and that she has struggled desperately to cope- so went down the there must be something ‘wrong’ with him route with little hesitation. What concerns me most is that she has struggled this much with him and yet flippantly speaks of wanting another one soon. I call a 2025 pregnancy for Liv.

 

[Thinkevilthoughts]

So she’s tried to cash in on the SEN thing (much like her depression, trauma, ptsd, adhd) and they’ve said they won’t do a referral because he doesn’t show any signs

 

[Dramallama2]

It feels so awkward when she's filming him kicking off and then she keeps looking to the camera to check it's still on.

 

[Thinkevilthoughts]

I think like other people have said she might already be pregnant. Her floaty clothes and pyjamas in her latest reel look to be lifted slightly at the tummy.
Really do think it’s daft though when she struggles so much already with Arlo. If you’ve got a child who you can’t get to go to nursery, who hits you etc. and no support network, how on earth will she manage with a baby in the mix too when her partner is at work?

Not to mention all of her mental health issues and apparent birth trauma and PND. It’s not up to anyone else to judge when you have a second baby I realise that, and lots of parents have MH barriers and are fine, but she openly admits she isn’t and that she can’t cope. Not to mention, isn’t she about to be homeless? And her fella has about the same mental capacity as a jacket potato.

 

[Thinkevilthoughts]

It won’t end her depression because she needs it for content

Oh really?! I don't think his speech is great. That might account for his frustrations, he's quite a handful... Always clobbering someone over the head with something. Her fella looks like he cannot cope at all!
I reckon she's pregnant already. Constantly going on about Christmas will be different and they'll be 4 for Christmas. Surely you'd know that you might not get pregnant in 3 months, even if you started TTC on New year's Day, it's highly likely that they'd still be a family of 3 next Christmas.
She's incredibly immature. Used to like her but she's silly and childish

I think a lot of his behaviour is due to her clueless fella and her "gentle parenting" approach which is no boundaries and too much pandering to Arlo and him getting his own way! You can absolutely be a gentle parent but kids need boundaries!

She is deluded! I dont disagree with the crazy high house prices but she's a first time buyer on effectively one salary as she is self employed and can't currently be considered for a mortgage. Yet she's looking at detached 4 bed new builds!

You can't have everything you want straight away. She'd have been far better off buying a small two bed (like she currently rents) this year to get onto the ladder and then moving to a bigger home in another year or so!

 

[Dramallama2]

Looks like she can't be arsed with youtube anymore and is sacking it off because she's got a few more followers on instagram. This girl is absolutely bone idol and is just all round a total mess. She needs to get a real job because she even admitted she doesn't get out her pjs most days, no wonder she feels like shit. Her fella is the biggest drip I've ever seen and is completely useless, he's definitely not all there. How women can be with men like this absolutely blows my mind.

 

[HM92]

I think it’s a bit naive that she thinks when she moves house it will end her depression.

 

[Js35g11]

In my nearly 4 years of parenting, I've only washed her favourite cuddly toy once. I'm obviously a terrible parent.

We've only washed the favourite teddy and that's after sickness or an accident! Only cleaned her toys when we've had friends over and they went in mouths! What an awful mum I am not to do it every week!

 

[derbyshiregirl]

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.
