Binky Felstead

[marbles_]

Oh, she most definitely has haha. Just before school ended I saw her with the biggest scowl on her face and arms crossed tightly at her chest walking about ten steps behind a woman with the baby in the buggy and the dog beside her.
There's an ice-cream van that always parks near the entrance to the school so I'd put money on the woman, who I'd assume is her nanny, saying no to buying her an ice-cream
I've received the same treatment from mine when I've said no too. I've had to resort to making one day a week ice-cream day and that has worked a treat.

It's one thing to criticise Binky and her choices, she's put her life out there but I think as adults we should refrain from commenting on children or their behaviour. They have a right to their privacy even if their own parents choose not to respect it.

It's not right, and for a mother in a school to comment online about witnessing a childs behaviour at the school gate is really vile tbh.

To be honest, I’d say it’s more a reflection on Binky bad choices that people recognise her daughter and school sufficiently to be able to comment.

 

[marbles_]

I agree, but her bad choices as a parent does not excuse another adult commenting about a child's behaviour online.

 

[Fillyjonk]

I don't like the dress and think she just looks like she normally does in a tacky dress that doesn't fit her boobs properly. Odd choice. Does she really want her kids to look back on her wedding photos and see mum half naked?

I wouldn’t say it’s vile. She’s only commented on the behaviour…it’s not like Binky gives those kids any privacy whatsoever

You're 100% right. I didn't mean any harm or malice at all. It was more just to show that she's a "normal" child that reacts the same as any other would in the same situation, but I completely understand your point and apologise for my comments. I would hate to know that complete strangers were commenting on my child's behaviour regardless of whether I share their life publicly, or not.
Thank you for calling me out on it. I appreciate it and won't be commenting any more.

I honestly don’t think you’ve said anything unacceptable and do you know what if people commented on my child’s behaviour behind my back then so what! Don’t feel you can’t comment anymore!

Exactly. You only have to look few posts back and see photos of her son after suffering an allergic reaction.Now that’s what I call vile tbh.

A grown adult observing a child and her behaviour from a far at a school gate and then writing about it online is vile in my opinion! That child has a right to his/her privacy.

The fact that her own mother over exposes her own children online has nothing to do with it.

what child hasn't had a tantrum

 

[kittymeowlondon]

what do her or her partner do for money?

Fair enough. We’re all entitled to our opinions! I don’t agree in the slightest but hey life would be boring if we all agreed on everything!

what child hasn't had a tantrum

Exactly and telling someone it’s vile when they mention it is out of order…in my opinion!

And slightly over dramatic when we’re all on a forum that discusses and criticises other humans…

Also, just to point out the first rule of Tattle:

Kind of ironic we’re on a forum unashamedly criticising other people, but I criticise another member and you’re all very defensive and up in arms . Regarding her conduct at a school gate; commenting on a child’s behaviour walking home from school online, that is vile behaviour in my opinion. Last time I checked we were all entitled to our opinions!

All they were basically saying though was that Binkys claim that she's never thrown tantrums ect is wrong.

They weren't just randomly mentioning it

I understand why it was said, that’s completely irrelevant to me. I simply don’t agree with it being said at all. It’s called standards of behaviour. Commenting on a child at a school gate online , a child who doesn’t even know you and is completely unaware that they’re being observed is disgusting. There should be boundaries even on a forum. I strongly believe you should always leave peoples children out of it in all circumstances, even when their own parents don’t show them the same respect online.

Maybe I can be this thread's secret spy

The word ‘vile’ seems a bit strong

The word ‘vile’ seems a bit strong

I don't think so

 

[Mumof285]

I don't think so

She's apologised and yet you're still harping on about it.... What more do you want her to do. At least she's reflected on her actions and put her hands up that it was a step too far.

Just to add. I don't think

Just to add... I don't think the person posting was meaning to be critical and was more actually just trying to reassure the other parents that her child is
normal and has had tantrums just like all the other kids out there.

She has since posted that she is grateful for you calling her up on it, understands it was too far saying she would spy on the child's behaviour etc.

Who hasn't posted things without thinking/considering their actions? I know I have. Self-reflection and learning is what it's all about.
