Exactly! And her mam after having C for 2 nights. I doubt granny was letting him eat pasta in the dark etc
Does she not hear / read back her own rit to herself!? He went to bed at 6 for his granny! She also said she HAD to give into him or a tantrum would occur. So she never lets a tantrum happen and follow through on standing her ground? She doesn’t lay down the rules and he doesn’t have clear boundaries and gets away with everything. That’s a huge problem that she is in control of!
This is a car crash & very very hard to watch. I've an immersive amount of empathy for that poor child & the future of what he is going to see, read & hear his mother said about him. It is utterly heartbreaking.
I'm thinking the future primary/ secondary school years too of "my mammy said your mammy is XYZ" being said to him. Kids are like sponges and overhear conversations between 2 adults talking & relay them to their peers.
There is a huge amount of focus at the moment online of kiddy influencers, selling and promoting products & parents pocketing cash.
Caelan isn't a kiddy influencer, he's a child whos privacy, growth, development & OT therapy/medical investigation is being exploited for Caroline to make money on substack. It is absolutely horrific & cannot imagine anyone I know doing this. I don't believe she has any real friends or relationships as anyone with 2 brain cells or a true friend would sit down in a civilised manner & approach her and explain she should maybe put the phone down, not share it & the ethics & morals behind it. Are these conversations easy - no. But we've all had a time in our lives where we've had to speak to a friend or a friend speak to us. Why? Cause we're good friends.
I don't even think I can watch from the sidelines anymore. This is just heartbreaking.

If it’s a proper assessment there will be a speech therapist and psychologist meeting him too.this place send a ot first but it may have been better doing the psychologist first
Talk about making life hard for yourself. Does she think this is normal parenting behaviour because it’s just not. All her fault, none of the child’s.
I mite pay to see that one
Is she capable of posting about her child WITHOUT getting a dig in at him… like it’s actually pathological and so toxic
Thing that bothers me most is that she'll tell the assessors etc that C only has difficult behaviours with her and not her Mum etc, and there is a risk this will be put down to the fact it's common in ASD kids to only melt down or seem to be "acting out" with parents, as they feel the most safe with them and mask their difficulties with others.
But with C a lot of the different behaviour is so clearly down to differences in the attitude towards him? Rather than being organic and led by him.
Like, of course if you can mess your Mum about demanding to eat pasta in the dark you're going to do this? Because you're a small child? Of course you'll see how late you can stay up, and do ridiculous things? Because you're three?
I can just see her making it into how it's all a sensory issue "him" thing and definitely nothing at all to do with how she interacts with him
---
No, she isn't. Anything positive always has to come with a criticism and the criticism is always about some completely age-appropriate thing like spilling food or not being able to do something perfectly.
Don't think I've ever seen her post anything along the lines of "omg so proud of C today he did ABC and did really well" its just negativity after negativity after negativity.
I can see C making a documentary when he’s older about being the child of an influencer mother - narcissistic and estranged being tag words in it.
Imagine a documentary in the future looking back at all the private stuff she’s sharing now. Videos of C when he doesn’t know he’s being filmed, paid articles of her detailing how difficult it all is etc…
Macabre!!!
It's so sad she says about the other kids and how she would previously compared him to them. The fact she even mentions it means she still is doing this, and it's really sad to see. So he prefers sitting quietly and not climbing?
Thing is, if the other kids were allsitting quietly and he was running around climbing over stuff, that would be wrong too.

Jesus could she not just send the child to the play centre with the minder and back off a bit?? Yes he might cry initially leaving her but I'm sure he'd have a bloody great time without her
But yet she was grand to leave him for the spa break. I know it was with his granny so of course that is different to the monder but it feels like everything is so inconsistent which must be confusing for him. Like when she tried the very first minder and just dropped him off and left with no adjustment period. She has no sense.
I forgot she did that
then wondered why he was upset randomly being left.most kids will cry initially, but the minder or whoever would distract them and usually will be grand. Would she not just try and see, if it’s really that bad, the minder could always bring him back home. None of her actions make sense. she’s deeply unhappy. I think a lot of the unhappiness comes from having really unrealistic expectations. She said he can’t function without her, yet he seems to function ok when she’s on a hotel break or off to different events and when she’s doing her makeup he’s never around. I can barely brush my teeth without my kids climbing on top of me so she actually has more time than she realises!!!! It’s really sad to see the whole thing play out.
