My dad said it was begging too! The only person I know who went trick or treating in the early nineties was my mate down the road, she wore a bin bag and those false witches fingers.half listening to babs and wet Claire cackling their way thru the latest podcast episode, and babs is talking about how she - at the age of 45 years old - has never even SEEN a swede, let alone eaten one. and is SHOOKETH that Claire has, after she says she eats swede in stews etc, only to then tell babs she will have eaten swede in vegetable soup and just not been aware - bold of Claire to think babs has eaten vegetable soup! babs is still on the smooth textured "gateway" Heinz tomato soup - Sharky won't allow her to try "grown up" soup with actual chunks of vegetable, as he knows he would be cleaning it up off the floor when she smashed it against the wall in a rage.
also the way she tries to imply that damp Rog was "niche" in the way he saw trick or treating as begging and wasn't keen on them going! that was literally my experience, and i was a kid in the 90s,never allowed to go trick or treating for that exact reason. it may have been a bit unusual, as most of my friends seemed allowed of go, but it wasn't solely a grandad rog thing.
and using the term "deprived" to describe her childhood - simply - because it was at a time when Halloween wasn't so much of a "thing" so she kissed out in halloween parties and costumes better than a bin bag etc - seems incredibly crass right now.![]()
Moaning about doing Saturday drop offs like she doesn’t spend 95% of her week indoors under a blanket watching the telly anyway?! Big deal you’ve to drop your kids off - it’s literally parenting and highlights how much of an inconvenience her interrrupted telly time is!Of course she hates driving her kids around for NOTHING. What is she expecting in return?! Typical narc. Something has to be in it for them. How about that’s just what being a parent is: Sacrificing for the kids YOU brought into the world and enjoying them having wonderful experiences.
I always get the impression seedy old roger has been over involved with blabs and her sisterhalf listening to babs and wet Claire cackling their way thru the latest podcast episode, and babs is talking about how she - at the age of 45 years old - has never even SEEN a swede, let alone eaten one. and is SHOOKETH that Claire has, after she says she eats swede in stews etc, only to then tell babs she will have eaten swede in vegetable soup and just not been aware - bold of Claire to think babs has eaten vegetable soup! babs is still on the smooth textured "gateway" Heinz tomato soup - Sharky won't allow her to try "grown up" soup with actual chunks of vegetable, as he knows he would be cleaning it up off the floor when she smashed it against the wall in a rage.

Yes! I remember going to my daughters schools "expectations evening" when she'd just started Yr 8 and the head saying schools worry about kids when they ARE 8, and when they're IN Yr 8!There's also something vicious and malicious about...I don't know how to explain it...teenage girlhood.
Year 8 is statistically and heavily evidence based in education, as the school year that if a kid is going to go off the rails, it will be then. As an ex-teacher, in a high school, she would surely know this.
Bet both parents scrolled away under their manky blankets they entire time anyway!I love how she tries to reframe watching TV with little E as "watching Christmas films" as if that's more magical and special than what probably happened, ie, sat on her arse with netflix whilst big E is out living her best tween life.
Yep, I've heard that one too. When I was a governor at my kids HS, we did more disciplinaries for Y8 than any other.Yes!

You mean she she doesn't get a gift each time?? Ste is clearly slacking. Where is Emma's "did basic parenting" and "chauffeured children without moaning" reward jar??Of course she hates driving her kids around for NOTHING. What is she expecting in return?! Typical narc.

I agree - Lou is very good. If anyone needed actual info on the parks she is one to watch. Her 5 and 7 year olds go on every ride they can, including those too scary for nearly 11 year old little ENow there's a good disney/ florida review from Rob Becketts wife, lou_em! Realistic, lots of facts and info about the parks, transport, supermarkets etc.. Emma take note!
