Caroline Foran #3 stop using your child for content

[scandal2022]

Oh my god just leave him at school. She’s essentially taught him if he plays up she gets him! My just 4 year old every day “I don’t want to go to school I want to stay home with you” and we have a bit of a battle going into preschool, then she comes out flying! I’ve no choice I have to go to work.
The days then my childminder drops her there is no drama from her. They’re kids they’ll play up! Omg she drives me demented this one…my son then is defo high sensory to an extent and sometimes can fly off the handle but also understanding and seeing that he is only small at 6 has helped me deal with it better but also he does get told if he’s going over the top altogether! She won’t parent she’s afraid to be the bad guy!

I’ve no choice I have to go to work.

And that’s the crux of it. If Caroline had a bleeping job, or if she was a single mum who needed an income, she’d have no choice but to get on with it.
Navel gazing isn’t a job.

 

[brownpaperbags]

She removed the story of her whinging?!

 

[NotPerfect]

What do we do when we are upset and sharing our kids vulnerability…oh yeah whip out the camera and record for Instagram. Lots of fodder for future psychologist studies here. No words for the attention this one craves.

 

[Goss_Goddess]

She needs to have a tough love conversation with him that goes something like this:

“Listen Caelan, you will have to go to school, I can’t keep picking you up because you won’t give it a chance. It’s more fun there than being at home, you get to play and learn and make friends. What are you going to do when all the other kids are learning and making friends, you will be left out, you’re not a baby, you can’t be with me all the time, all the other kids go to school it’s what everyone has to do. If you kick up and want to come home again you’ll be coming home and going straight to bed, no toys, no TV…”

everyone says he’s a smart kid, so he’ll understand a threat like that. No point in her collecting him and not punishing him for the behaviour otherwise he’ll keep doing it. She’s failing at the very basics of parenting, no boundaries and creating a little tyrant who rules the roost

Complete with perfect liquid eye liner flick - ideal for a crying shot so the black tears add to the drama. Get. A. Grip.

Dr Lynch on it as always

Imagine being a paediatrician and having to spend time trying to educate people about how you probably shouldn't share your children to 10000s of strangers and it is probably detrimental to them.

Society is wild.

Three year olds can be VERY hard work. You spend an inordinate amount of time jollying them along. They refuse to get dressed, eat, put their shoes on. They kick off in public, at home. They’re scared of noises. They are little tyrants.
Caroline is making a complete a of it and unfortunately nobody is stepping in to stop her. It’s painful to see and she’s doing her son no favours at all.

I have a 3 year old and this is my life every single day!! It’s so normal.

What is the intensive work she’s talking about? What could prep him more for school than PRE school

 

[boarddotie]

Would someone give that wet wipe husband a call and tell him to get a grip on things.

He, her parents and his parents are all doing to Caz as what she does to C. Too afraid of the fall out/reaction to tell her to cop on.

Hmmm...a pattern.

 

[Lanenola]

She has thoroughly ducked this up. At some point he is just going to have to go to school (because you know, it's the law) and the child won't have the skills to cope at all. And whatever the creche is bloody playing at, a primary school will entertain none of her bull. Absolutely dreadful. Really feel for the kid

 

[Aprillady]

It’s going to be a very, very long, tough parenting for job for Caroline - all through her own fault.

And when he is older she'll be all woe is me, my grown up son wants little to do with me.

 

[lodgequeen]

An intervention is now needed there for the sake of that poor child. She’s an absolute loon!
3 year olds can be be the stuff of nightmares and who’s main job description is to push the boundaries to test the limit…Jesus she hasn’t a bloody clue has she

 

[Hibernia]

Him asking why shes crying-just tell him its because you wont go to bleeping school!!! Not a bull “oh I dont know” and the sad faces for the camera View attachment 3197258

Is this story gone now ??

Is this story gone now ??

Think so! I missed it too! It’s wild to me. I’ve a son same age as Caroline who just turned 4 also. I’d hardly say any of this parenting is a walk in the park. We are exhausted between work and parenting. 3 and 4 year olds test boundaries, they thrive when you set the rules and follow a schedule! Actually most adults thrive when have a proper schedule. Maybe that also the issue, she doesn’t work, she fills her day with weird stories and does her makeup. La la land!!!!! She shouldn’t have backed down, she should have let him properly settle and not wait at the door. How does she think working parents cope? She’s just in an unrealistic bubble!

it’s lit all they do and actually 4 & 5 is worse cause they get more clever about it.I find 6 and senior infants the magic age get a bit of cop on she has a LONG 3 years ahead and prob 3 more cause he’ll be so emotionally behind as she doesn’t allow him to feel any but calm and joy. Any kid his age should be out on the road playing with the other kids around, down the playground socialising, chatting to the woman in the shop, it’s all learning for them and how he will learn to socialise and then I turn maybe feel more comfortable in school. Draining comics if invisible string and classroom floor olans with his mother will do the complete opposite! She is the most extreme helicopter parent I have ever come across. She needs to be kept away for a week and bet he’d be flyin around then with a bit of freedom and independence!God love him for juniors, the boys who’ve done preschool will be streets ahead and he’ll struggle even more

 

[Dyingtoknow]

I really hope she reads here and gets the dose of cop on she badly needs. I’ve witnessed extreme separation anxiety in my own family growing up and this was before it even had a label. The only way it was resolved was through hard work and not giving into the child wanting to be at home/with mam. It dragged on from pre school and into primary but it did eventually get better with a lot of patience and commitment from all, parents family and teachers. She needs to grow a back bone and step away from this issue upsetting her and knuckle down to the hard graft of parenting your child through tough situations!! You can absolutely be your child’s safe space, safe person as well as getting them to do things they don’t want to do!! Time to press pause on her Monday-Friday fluting about for Instagram makeup reels, breaks away and pr invites into town. She has to fully commit to getting her child settled into school and she can piss off lamenting that she can’t go anywhere or do anything when in reality she does way more than most parents! It’s far from ideal but they both need to putt their lives on hold for the next few months for the sake of their child and his future

 

[triona89]

It’s hard to tell cause she’d probably never show it, but why isn’t Barry doing the drop off? Drop and go to work and let the teachers figure it out, they know what they’re at

 

[lunanina]

I unfollowed so long ago but she came up on my feed again. I feel really sorry for the poor kid. Thing that strikes me the most is resilience, she has none. When things get hard she panics and looks for a quick fix solution or answer. You have to teach kids how to be resilient, if you're not able to do it then learn how to model the behaviour.

She's made this mess for herself and I agree, if she had a full time job to get to in the morning, she wouldn't be able to spend hours agonising over drop off. I really don't understand why her husband doesn't step in.

 

[Longtimebrowser]

I don’t understand how she honestly thinks she is doing it for his benefit and she thinks taking him out of preschool is the right thing to do. It might be the harder thing to do right now for them both but it will make it the easier in the long term for settling into school, learning how to socialise and his overall development. Even a sensitive child needs to learn how to function in the real world. They are doing him such an injustice and then broadcasting it for everyone to watch and comment on is sickening.
