Agree - children don’t ask to do things again if they didn’t enjoy it the first timeShe is absolute the issue. James had a lovely day and had said he wants another day with her. She doesn’t however and can only see negatives. Poor James, it’s actually horrible to see her stories. I dread to think how she speaks to James or about him offline.
If he’s as obsessed with trains as she claims - today would have been the most amazing day for him and he probably would have been so excited by everything Thomas themed that he probably wanted to do everything at once and being told he had to do this then that and this after lunch probably got him all worked up and emotional - my 4 yr old sees a fairground or park and has a one track mind it’s all he asks about and goes on about!She is absolute the issue.

Literally this - he was probably super excited and just wanted to try out different things when he wanted and she flipped out at him wanting to deviate from her stupid schedule. I can imagine she is very rigid on days out and does NOT want to go off of what she has planned for the day.If he’s as obsessed with trains as she claims - today would have been the most amazing day for him and he probably would have been so excited by everything Thomas themed that he probably wanted to do everything at once and being told he had to do this then that and this after lunch probably got him all worked up and emotional - my 4 yr old sees a fairground or park and has a one track mind it’s all he asks about and goes on about!
Yes! Exactly this. I've been thinking it for a while, that I think she struggles because her expectations of what babies and young children are capable of are just wildly over estimated.Was his behaviour actually vile or are Emma’s expectations of him at 3 completely ridiculous! I wonder how many times today she told him he was a bad boy. I bet he was bouncing off her energy which is alway so negative. Children react to your behaviour.
You can just hear her saying something like "NO James. You've been a very bad boy. Mummy isn't talking to you right now. Hattie would never do this. I spend all this money on you and this is how you behave. "it just makes me so sad and it’s definitely gotten worse the last few months. she’s always moaned but not to this extent and it’s since she didn’t get to go back to work early. honestly I think she’s obsessed with structure and control and like others have said, has ridiculous expectations and as soon as one thing goes wrong it’s ‘all ruined’. she had detailed out that whole itinerary yesterday about how they’re going to go to the shop last and avoid the zoo first and then they’ll do xyz.
I really don’t understand how she can teach? I struggle not having structure/control and like to over plan too. but then when things inevitably don’t go as planned, my brain just jams and I freeze or panic. the difference is I KNOW this and actively work to improve it - I’ve got to the point where I’m more chilled out and flexible about things because I made some changes like moving to a job that isn’t super chaotic or unpredictable and … I know that children aren’t for me. Instead of looking at how she’s reacting and trying to improve, she just blames James for being… a child? Potentially a neurodivergent child? I don’t even like kids and I think the way she’s publicly talking about him to 40k followers under the guise of ‘being real’ is disgusting.
Also why would he say sorry if he’s had a nice day?? She’s definitely constantly sniping at him, I BET she’s the sort of parent that will give her kids the silent treatment
The front on this twat, ‘you’re still N amazing parent’ well, other people might be, but I’m not convinced she is, far from it.and now she is moaning about Hattie
