I know Book Week can now be OTT but besides some face paint, what a piss poor effort, for both parents actually because the mental load should not be just on the mother.

Yes agree shouldn’t be on the mother but from what I see of her on Insta (what she chooses to share with the world) I’d suspect she’s a cunt of an ex to work with and I couldn’t imagine AL not wanting to make this day special for them. I recon she’s orchestrated this to build up to her own little pity party which I’m sure we will soon hear about

I think she's trying to redeem herself in her new stories now looking back on old Book Weeks from previous years

Yes truth bombies dropped! The face paint was good but where is her costume? Home made or store bought put a tiny bit of effort (we know she can afford it)

I don't have kids. But face paint to wear all day at school? Won't it mess up when you eat and drink.

Opened face paint has a shelf life of 18 months Lazy Lou not ten years because you keep it in shoeboxes thanks so much for telling me I'm doing a great job in the thick of parenting, all hail wise Lou who's been parenting for 5 minutes!

Yes!! Exactly what I said would come….all teary and reflecting on how she’s just in this ‘season’ of parenting and it seems hard and endless but it will pass…cue the catch in her throat, bug yes, tears welling up.
Spare me.

I will drag Lousy Lou on anything she does but this morning I think Vidas costume was cute and actually replicated the theme well. Loved the green top saying strong for the evolving of Caterpillar. Why can't she just be wholesome Lou with every day normal home activities and cooking. Shes made some pretty cool stuff over the years .Everything is all over the place now and doesn't align with what she ever says
Again (can't believe I'm saying this against her defence...fark bet I'll change my mind in a minute with her back to bullshit programming ) but it's OK Sage didn't want to get dressed up. My boys used to love love bookweek and we'd go all out. Now they just want soccer outfits for their soccer books they are mad about

Agreed… I think more simple costumes wearing what you have at home is sometimes nicer than splashing out on a costume that will be worn once. Not everyone can afford to buy 2-3 costumes so I don’t mind seeing the humble ones . When I was at school we all would bring in a copy of our fave book the costumes weren’t as big of a part as they are now.

The thing is, you don’t have to spend big money to make a bookweek costume. Although EL manages to spend big when it suits her…on her.

I never spent up big when my kids were little. We planned together and used what was in the dressup box already, maybe buying a few cheap bits and pieces to adapt each year. We were in a small country town in Victoria 20 years ago so didn’t have access to the resources (online costume shops, party shops, spotlight) that people have today. We made do and they always seemed excited by their costume and my lame effort at craft/sewing.

Point is, I don’t believe EL has considered the kids wishes or needs at all. Yep S probably didn’t want to dress up but I’m sure C would have liked to. I could be wrong though and maybe she just wanted casual dress

sub leasing ..go for it lazy loo..but dont forget about all the make good provisions when you exit a commercial lease down the track..! Especially given you may have to rip a lot out to put it back to the original state!

So does she own the warehouse or lease it?? I thought she owned it but she slipped and said she pays $5500/per month for a space she doesn’t need. So she’s either broken her lease or only had a 12 month lease.
