Caroline Foran #3 stop using your child for content

[manifestinginfluencers]

I missed some stories as LO was sick, what did she say happened with her brother? Can anyone catch me up?if I remember correctly her and the bro are weirdly close in some regards- organising her kitchen etc.
I Find the wording on the picture of her niece so so wrong. Ok take the picture if u must but the caption is such an obvious dig at her son. Who speaks about their child like this!?
Also, the description of a difficult day with C and his need to control does sound challenging but also sounds like something that started small and was left unchecked for too long

You didn’t miss a huge amount, it’s constant little comments overtime! she didn’t say a huge amount about her brother, but she mentioned she was stressed after an argument with him. And that the argument indirectly was about C. So we can only assume the brother was trying to help her, and she got annoyed!

I do think it sounds hard for her, but I also think there are situations that arise as a result of never saying NO to a three year old.

And I can only imagine the family and friends that have said it to her, were met with an argument so maybe they’ve stopped saying it!

She clearly isn’t coping and there is a lot of her behaviour to unwrap… but I really can’t see why she is so surprised about her son if she considers her own behaviour/anxiety issues. Could her hubby be autistic?

Normal kid acts normally - Must tell the internet how uncharacteristic it is. And yes, kids often are a worry near roads. Hopefully he's being taught not to run out into them, but probably not

Am I imagining it or is this new sub stack post about Sinead O’Moore maybe? the two seemed so close and did the podcast together but now don’t even seem to meet up (they both seem the type to post about it online if they did meet up)..

Quote for those without a friend who forwards it to them

“Over time, I started to feel less and less confident, not just in this friendship but in general. One of the hardest parts was doubting myself as a mother, that my issues were nothing more than anyone else has to handle and that I needed to just get a grip and think about how much worse off other people have it (which of course I’m already aware of but it’s not what you need to hear from a bestie). I felt that way because that’s the response I often got. When my most vulnerable parenting moments were met with impatience (such as when I’d tell her about a mean message someone had sent me and instead of simply saying how hurtful that must be to receive, she’d say in so many words that maybe the messenger had a point), I felt I was probably looking for support in the wrong place.”

I remember that alliance as I had thought Sinead seemed sound and was surprised she’d be aligning herself with Caroline’s drama. There were posts or stories ab them hanging out with the kid, definitely! Sinead is in our camp .

Totally agree that it could be about Sinead. I only listened to a few but always got the sense that S just wanted to tell her to cop on.

Caroline must be exhausting to be around. So self absorbed and SeNsItIve and always needing to be told that she's right, she's perfect etc etc.

 

[Bob93]

Can't even give away a carrycot without getting a dig in at her son.

We sold ours as brand new as baby hated it, but strangely I managed to advertise it as "barely used" not by saying "my child hates everything, you see, including going in this carry cot".

She's posted today how some of the biggest judgements she's received are from other Mums, this tit is why, Caroline.

Most of us, even those of us in our darkest, most stressed and absolutely fed up days, where we wonder if we can just jack it all in and run away, do not criticise our children half as much as you do in normal conversation.

Yea I would have thought a good friend is the one who gives you another perspective and is honest, not just saying what you want to hear. It's all too often insta is an echo chamber for these huns. The minute you disagree with them or aren't fawning over them you're blocked. She obviously operates in a similar manner in real life too

 

[Tank Girl]

I would imagine if you were around her and she was for eg being dictated to when she could take a sip of her drink ( her own example ) you would try to find a way to diplomatically tell her to cop on

 

[gowlseverywhere]

sorry now ,as if you would have the time or the inclination for fancy bleeping napkins for an easter dinner ,and the rest if your child had as many additional needs that she says hers has,i barely get a chance to slap a dinner onto the table and my kids are mostly chill

I'm surprised she didn't end up having to wear them as a hat or had to lock herself in the bathroom and take a crying selfie because C would refuse to have them on the table. Definitely not as much as a tyrant as she likes to make out. Also she mentions a boozy Easter, really think she should lay off drinking when she's such a rage filled anxious person...as she has alluded to, so many times

Maybe, more likely that she herself is autistic though. Many women suffer anxiety and panic attacks, intrusive thoughts and are diagnosed as bipolar etc only to discover later in life that they're actually neurodiverse and the anxiety was from being an autistic female with high levels of masking and the panic attacks wete autistic meltdowns. Often it transpires that they have a child, that child is diagnosed as autistic and then ding ding ding!!!!

Jesus her response to that follower about "normal people" left a nasty bleeping taste in my mouth. Sassy little witch Caroline is. For duck sake what a fragile ego

Ha ha follower touched a nerve I’d say. She obviously classes herself as a celeb and thinks her problems are as “ real ” as the rest of us plebs

 

[U.ok.hun.]

FFS what a witch, what's the point in asking if you don't actually want the answers!

 

[Fatface]

The bit where she says she wants to grow a successful podcast so it can continue helping people - nothing to do with her wanting to earn loads of money easily and buying a bigger house then?

 

[manifestinginfluencers]

Is she really just letting him roll out the entire toilet roll? My son started to do that recently, I caught him and stopped him. He knew not to do it again. Kids need rules and boundaries.

There is a chance she did discipline him. A slim chance. Can’t help but think that’s why she’s in this situation. Clueless parenting.

 

[Bob93]

Let kid roll whole toilet roll down stairs instead of going to bed (while taking photo of him)
Give up on bed time and have him join them for Indian and cocktails instead
Husband runs around with kid in garden

...Get rage because kid didn't go to bed early

 

[Longtimebrowser]

She seriously needs to stop posting her life online…going from “I don’t mind this at all” to “Mam rage”. The poor child must be so confused, he’s let away with everything all night what else do they expect.

 

[Bob93]

This is the entire problem I wish she could see it - Surely all her friends and family must be able to? 🫠

There is just absolutely zero consistency. And surely if this is what she shows on insta thinking this looks like ok parenting, the reality must be worse?
