I think she actually preps a lot of it earlier on in the day, which is what I used to do when I was a sahm and organisedI'm going to defend her on the meal thing. I cook similar meals to Charlotte, every day too. I don't think my kids suffer (and they are teenagers now, so you'd think I'd know if it had!). I don't regard them as 'extravagant meals', they are just meals to us, I like cooking and my family likes eating. I work full time (a real job, out of the home!) and have plenty of time to do the shopping, prep and cooking. We all find the time to do the things we enjoy, be that the gym, crafting, sport, or faffing around on the internet!
Yea that’s totally fair enough, maybe I didn’t get my point across well enough reading back-I’ve often felt bad looking at chars insta and YouTube that I don’t provide my family with meals like she does every day of the week, both my kids are young and me and my partner work full time, so when we get to mealtimes we often are exhausted. I guess I was just trying to make myself feel better, that’s the downside of social mediaI'm going to defend her on the meal thing. I cook similar meals to Charlotte, every day too.

Don't feel bad, I'm sure you're doing brilliant for your family! And you actually have a real job, it's bloody hard work having a real job and coming home and sorting kids/dinner/husband's etc. This is why influencers are just not relatable at all when they get over a certain amount of followers and earning a certain amount of money. They lose their grasp on real life xxYea that’s totally fair enough, maybe I didn’t get my point across well enough reading back-I’ve often felt bad looking at chars insta and YouTube that I don’t provide my family with meals like she does every day of the week, both my kids are young and me and my partner work full time, so when we get to mealtimes we often are exhausted.

Don't feel bad, am sure your kids are thriving and happy on whatever you cook for them. My nephew eats chicken nuggets and chips at least 5 days a week and he's still alive! I only do it as I love it, couldn't be arsed otherwise (hence why I never go to the gym).Yea that’s totally fair enough, maybe I didn’t get my point across well enough reading back-I’ve often felt bad looking at chars insta and YouTube that I don’t provide my family with meals like she does every day of the week, both my kids are young and me and my partner work full time, so when we get to mealtimes we often are exhausted.

Yes, please don’t feel bad about that... cooking is definitely one of those things you either enjoy or don’t. If you enjoy it, it doesn’t feel like a chore even at the end of a working day. I know a lot of people do it to unwind, even. Cooking with a glass of wine kinda thing.Don't feel bad, am sure your kids are thriving and happy on whatever you cook for them.

I think it depend on your kids. If you’ve got a baby/small child whose easily amused, or 3 kids who all amuse each other it will be more do-able. My son was hard work as a baby and would just cry if I put him down. I could barely cook my own lunch let alone dinner for the evening!Yea that’s totally fair enough, maybe I didn’t get my point across well enough reading back-I’ve often felt bad looking at chars insta and YouTube that I don’t provide my family with meals like she does every day of the week, both my kids are young and me and my partner work full time, so when we get to mealtimes we often are exhausted.

I think she has said before that they went to school together - could be wrong though.I quite like her meal ideas. She seems to be a good cook and at least the kids get a break from a camera in their face. Has anyone else noticed that her friend Kayleigh is a food 'instagrammer' too. Have to wonder if it's a real friendship or if it's another fake insta friendship for follows. Poor girl really doesn't seem to have any friends. Bet Suzanne will come out the closet as an influencer next!
Char loves that Susie and Sally saying. She's always using it.Nice little passive aggressive (as always) comment left on Rebecca Meldrum’s insta post.

Yep! Charlotte never wears hers now either. Not exactly setting a good example considering their syndrome can lead to blindness. You’d think she’d take their eyesight a bit more seriously.Char loves that Susie and Sally saying. She's always using it.
I see Daisy had a doctors appointment today and, surprise surprise, Charlotte has made her wear her glasses. I swear that's the only time that child wears them.
I've said before about charls, despite her great cooking skills and her sickly sweet voice, I dont actually think she is a supermum like she tries to put across.
It is very, very rare that she seems to do anything for the kids which doesn't have an underlying reason of something for herself. So a trip to the coffee shop - because charl needs a coffee and a cake, walk to waitrose- because charl needs some ingredient for tapas night....you very seldom see her go out for a day out, unless it's an ad of course. Even her bonfire night is because it reminds old charl of her own childhood.
I remember once her saying she was going on a picnic, but it was only because she was filming a snack ad.
I think alot of the time the kids are following whatever charl wants to do to be honest.
100% this is exactly the case.I've said before about charls, despite her great cooking skills and her sickly sweet voice, I dont actually think she is a supermum like she tries to put across.

Don’t forget the money she will leave them for a takeawayI’m calling it. From tomorrow onwards Charls “going away weekend” bingo will start. She’ll be finishing off her deadlines because she wants to just focus on her and sharky at the weekend... she’ll be stocking the cupboards (yet again) as she’s so so grateful to her lovely parents for looking after the children for them... she’ll show us a bottle of wine she’s bought in for her mum and dad because “they deserve a little treat too” and she wants to make them feel special...
My ears can hardly wait for Monday’s vlog when she will inevitably recreate songs from the musical whilst looking wistfully out the kitchen window with a brew in hand that she’ll have made just as they got back. My eyes can hardly wait for shots of Shark looking bored AF wandering the streets of London, forced into hand holding and seeing some drab musical. Guaranteed he’ll be streaming the footie on his phone in the theatre.
