Erin - Little.Lulu.Love #2

[scrantonstrangler]

Her obsession with Tom's milestones representing what she missed with Luella is going to damage both of those kids. Tom is going to have to live up to an impossible standard that she will set for him and Luella is going to watch her achievements be undermined and overlooked. Luella taking steps is the result of so much hard work on her part, Tom taking steps is, frankly, something that most babies his age will do. It's exciting for a parent, yes, but Luella's milestones are not less than his.

When her own mother has already given up on her

Erin only ever talks about all the things Lu 'can't' do. It's now even progressed to telling everyone that Lu will NEVER do these things! Never walk, never talk, never self-feed (as if those are the only qualities of a life worth living). Lu will absolutely walk, even if it is always with the assistance of a walker. She will absolutely 'talk', though it might be via picture cards, a speech-generating device or eye-gaze technology. & she will no doubt self-feed, too, though probably not with cutlery or with table manners suited to fine dining. If Lu will 'never' do any of these things, why keep working on them via therapy?

Lu isn't even four years old. To already define her completely by her disability and all the things she cannot do (yet) is so sad to me.

 

[jumble]

I wonder why she doesn’t go to university and commit to years of study to become a doctor. It seems so easy.

 

[jumble]

Let the poor guy have a holiday. Lulu’s notes will be on her file, does she think the neuro just remembers the specifics about Lulu’s case off the top of his head? There will be thorough notes on her file, the course of action will be listed, any meds, any allergies, pain in the ass mother, all listed. Lu is not a one off special creature. Every neurologist has had more education than this Karen could ever dream of. She has something inside her that just wants to cause disruption, she doesn’t need to page the poor doctor on his time off, who is probably spending sacred time with his family, she can present to ED and be triaged like a normal fucking person, but she won’t because she expects special treatment. Why do they need to personally inform her of his holidays? Unless it directly affects her, why? Literally, it has nothing to do with her. He didn’t cancel an appointment to go on this holiday. Is it because she thinks they dont deserve a break? Fuck me

 

[uglyguccislides]

Yeah I don’t begrudge her, but the dramatic ‘we haven’t had a solo holiday since our honeymoon’. Yeah me either. Or a date night, for that matter. It’s not unusual and it’s the price a lot of us pay for having kids - it’s her woe-is-me, I’m the only one that suffers attitude that I hate

 

[soulfullofit]

I love how she adds ‘doesn’t make sense to me’ well duh ya moron you’re not a dr in any way shape or form. God she makes me genuinely feel upset, the disdain she has for Lu and her condition is horrible

 

[wtffishappening]

Erin is a f*cking lunatic and I can’t wait for the day that she is exposed for the narcissistic, selfish human she really is. The only person I feel for is Luella, that little girl deserves so much more than that poor excuse of a mother. She makes me so angry.
---
Also correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t this psychopath choose to have another baby whilst having a severely disabled young child, and has done nothing but complain and sell the woe is me story?! Duh dickhead what did you think was going to happen with Tom & Lu, they were both going to sleep through the night and you could jog around at your hearts content, going on dates and catching flights for holidays on whim?! Lol she is literally insane I can’t.

 

[beebop88]

The more I watch her the more I think how does anyone stand her and her negativity? No one is trying to punish you or Luella, Erin. Specialists don’t do that. The backlog of appointments after the pandemic is insane. My niece had to miss a specialist appointment and their next available appointment was in February next year! 5 weeks is not a long wait considering. She really is so self consumed and insufferable. Having anxiety and knowing I’d be a wreck if my child had epilepsy and seizures I sometimes feel brief snippets of pity for her but she always quickly reminds me that she’s just a pretty awful human being. She treats other people like shit, even the people that are trying to help her daughter. It’s disgusting. Get a grip of yourself Erin. The world is not against you.

A neurologist appointment in Sydney kids with a 5 week turn around is amazing.. we missed an appointment and had to wait 4 months.. our fuck up, these places are often booked out because so many kids need help..

She is honestly the worst

 

[dulcielaroux]

As someone deep in the trenches of little boy terrible twos (which aren’t that terrible but boyyyy are they testing) I do wonder how she will cope when Tom hits the hitting, kicking, running, jumping, climbing, saying no to everything, throwing things phase that also seems to coincide with not wanting to sleep ever. She keeps talking about all the things she missed out on with Luella as a baby, and that Tom has given her those things. She’s also missed out on the challenges of an independently mobile child who needs constant stimulation and monitoring, who knows how to push every single one of your buttons, especially the ones you didn’t know you had, and will do it with wanton abandon and a gleeful look in their eyes. What then?

 

[jumble]

Also hated how she said ‘we’ll see what we can do about that’ as if she’s going to start throwing her weight around to get her way. I spent the day in hospital with one of my kids this week, and the doctors and nurses were amazing. They were getting slammed in paeds, and they still managed to show up for my kid with a smile on their face, they treated her with so much respect and care. I couldn’t help thinking of Erin on that day, and couldn’t imagine ever undermining anyone working in a hospital trying to help my child.

 

[Floppygunt]

This is disgusting, I have a severely disabled autistic child who attends a specialist school in Victoria and I couldn’t be happier or more at ease! My 3 other neurotypical children beg to go there because it’s so amazing!!

 

[loveinfluenzas]

Well I wasn’t expecting that

Fuck this infuriates me!!! Fancy Erin sharing this shit to her followers completely blaming Chrystal, when it's pretty evident something would have happened for Chrystal to leave so suddenly. That could be personal or pretty obviously Erin being a nightmare or seeing some messed up behaviour. I've had employees leave before in less than desirable ways and I would have never ever shared any information on social media about it let alone the fact that we all know her identity! Surely Chrystal has some legal grounds here as this is a massive invasion of her privacy. I am seriously gobsmacked, Erin is dangerous

 

[kmartplate]

I wonder how many (if any?) of her followers are genuine ones? What an absolute terrible advocate for the disability sector. No doubt this is a challenging role and it might not always feel rewarding, but she obviously sees herself as a huge victim and Lu as a tremendous burden. What a horrible message to send to the world and for any disabled person to see, let alone Lu herself.

I bet she was always a bitch but because her life was objectively good she wasn’t so bitter. She still has so much in her life to be grateful and excited about and she could still celebrate the little moments with Lu.

 

[Moomin_mama]

Now suggesting she can’t get an appointment with the neurologist for five weeks because they’re punishing here. Ffs. That’s an amazing turn around on a specialist appointment in the first place, and also that’s not how doctors book appointments? Based on who they want to punish? What an insane thing to suggest!

My jaw actually dropped when she said that!? As if a doctor would postpone you to punish you! Also it was clearly her fuck up that meant they missed the appointment last week, you can tell because if it was an error by the doctors office she would have been ranting about it. She’s obviously feeling guilty about it but deflecting that onto the doctors with talk of them punishing her. She’s a piece of work!

 

[jumble]

I don’t understand this mothers group thing - why didn’t she join a mothers group when Luella was born? Why does she want to be in a group with first time mothers? Why is she intent on acting like Luella is some aberration that doesn’t count?

exactly, considering that until around 3 months they thought Lulu was completely healthy, why didn’t she join one? Also how she says mothers groups are ‘cliquey’ she just always has to be passive aggressive and say things like that, it feels like a dig to the group of mums she was close with until recently (Rachael, Keira). Maybe people don’t want you around because you’re not very nice. I don’t understand how she has no network of friends. I mean I obviously understand it’s because she is incredibly bitter towards anyone with ‘typical’ children because we obviously have nothing to complain about, our lives are perfect, but she has obviously alienated every friend she’s ever had because of this bitterness. Lulu needs socialising too, it’s not just Tom.
I just can’t stand how she always talks like she has a bone to pick.

 

[jumble]

Yeah, I haven’t had a solo holiday since having kids either, most people with young kids haven’t… Lulu and Tom are still so young, I don’t know how many holidays she thinks those of us with ‘normal’ kids have each year without our kids

 

[dulcielaroux]

How hurtful to Lu that Erin said she is “essentially” a first time Mum - ouch! This is what bugs me. She has this curated vision of motherhood and how it’s meant to be, and she feels she is owed that, and because Lu didn’t give her that experience she is bitter and it “doesn’t count”. But in reality, in the very real world where nothing is perfect, EVERY mother has a unique experience of motherhood - it is never the perfect vision EVER. you’re not “essentially” a first time Mum to Tom because you didn’t get to experience your perfectly curated vision of motherhood with Lu. Please Erin see Lu as the beautiful unique child she is, stop discounting her existence and celebrate her!!

You’re exactly right. Motherhood isn’t about playgroups and milestones and socialising and cute events. Motherhood so much bigger than that and arguably the kind of mothering Luella needs and deserves is so so much more involved and important than whatever shallow version of motherhood Erin seems to want. She’s not a first time mother in any sense of what that could possibly mean and I would just love her to be forced to explain how she justifies completely pushing beautiful Luella to the side like this so coldly and publicly.

 

[santababy]

Im sorry.

I beg ya pardon

 

[influencerstalk]

My NDIS kid wakes twice a night still (at age 7), maybe I should ask for a night nurse at his next review

Exactly my NDIS 6 year old is the same. Sleeps in my bed and wets it most nights as he refuses to wear pull ups… and solo parent after my husband passed last year. I think that’s why Erin bugs me so much she is an entitled princess. Wouldn’t last a day in most of our shoes
