Taking Arlo out of nursery doesn't seem like the wisest move.

 

[Emsie]

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?!

She doesn't do anything to assist A from what I can see. He runs away from you, put him on reins so she gets safe freedom and can move his body safely. He won't go to nursery, find a SEN nursery, or send him afternoons only. He dumps toy buckets on your head, lose the aesthetic and don't put toys in buckets. That kid must live in a constant state of disregulation, it's mean to him.

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

I can understand the outlook of a new start to help tackle your depression but the fact she thinks it'll just disappear just confirms my belief she's using the claim of depression for content.

I have mixed thoughts, she is good with Arlo and comes up with lots of lovely ideas for time with him and keeps her home lovely but she definitely would benefit by getting a proper job and getting out the house to meet people.

I know she wants to spread SEN awareness but I disagree with filming Arlo's tantrums. She is very passive too. She's filmed Arlo being purposely destructive and hitting, kicking etc. and there's no discipline or consequences! Maybe he does have some sort of SEN but he also needs boundaries and consequences for unacceptable behaviour.

Her fella is bloody useless too!

 

[Emsie]

Does anyone think the reason her son is constantly ill because she is obviously a hypochondriac and constantly literally sterilising the house so he has literally no immunity building up?!

In my 9 plus years of parenting I've never steamed a teddy. Occasion vac them over or would throw in the wash.

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.

‘Save the relationship’ trip. Who would call it that; so cringe.

I can’t stand when people try to do ASMR or whatever it’s called and slam down all the cleaning products!

 

[Thinkevilthoughts]

She chooses something that’s going to get views and runs with it. Traumatic birth, PD, autism, adhd, depression, homelessness…

They’ve finally bought their cookie cutter new build

To be fair with her, getting onto the property ladder isn't easy, especially if you also need to do up somewhere so it's added expense. So while I would never go for a new build, I can see why people do.

 

[Emsie]

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's not gentle parenting. The fundamental thing was gentle parenting is boundaries.
She's permissive. I gentle parent as much as I can and I'm quite firm and strict. It's more about natural consequences and holding your firm boundaries so your child knows where they stand.

 

[Thinkevilthoughts]

You’re other a full time working mum or a sahm I don’t think you can be both. She’s a stay at home lazy mum that chucks out some content for SM

 

[Dramallama2]

Has she been diagnosed ADHD?

No, she self diagnosed because it’s a trend at the moment amongst these ‘influencers’.

I may have misunderstood the latest video but it looks like she leaves arlo alone in the bath whilst she gets into her pyjamas and does a couple of things - I know people will think this is over the top but I’d never leave a 3 year old in the bath unattended even if it is just for a short time.

My little boy is 5 in a few days and I would never!

I more meant immediately launching into using it as a content hook is the thing that’s off to me.

Being open minded about a possible diagnosis and launching headfirst into researching what’s out there in terms of support and intervention is different.

I don’t understand the logic in wasting money on decorating a rental property. She said they were looking to buy next year. Wouldn’t you put all your spare money into the moving fund?

 

[Puffin_island]

In my 9 plus years of parenting I've never steamed a teddy. Occasion vac them over or would throw in the wash.

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

I don’t know where she’s looking, but £530k isn’t bad for a 4 bed detached house. Where I live a house that size would be at least £650/£700k. Totally agree with you though. Nobody can afford to buy a house that size as their first house. Buy somewhere cheaper & work your way up

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!

A hard day with Arlo. She didn't say much just that she was his comfort and punch bag.
Is Arlo ND?

She was having him assessed IIRC but I don't recall hearing any further information about the outcome.

 

[HM92]

Her latest stories saying she wants another baby in the “near future” - obviously it’s her body and her life but when she’s making it so clear how much she’s struggling with depression and a child with potential SEN, and also how her relationship was on the verge of crumbling (and that they actually split up briefly this year) - how does she think another baby is going to help any of that?!
