This is because of covid. What I was describing as “hibernating” is how they have lived since the twins got home from hospital. Literally seen her take them to a playground once in their lives

I totally understand the first year where they were tiny and very vulnerable. Riley has chronic lung disease and a simple cold could have easily landed either of them back in hospital. At that stage I don’t think the eldest was attending school/ kindy/ childcare so they were essentially isolating which I don’t think was unreasonable.

However, once the eldest started at school the following year and Grecian was back at work I feel that the cost of “hibernating” would have far outweighed the benefits. They would have been exposed to whatever their sister brought home from school and they did get sick from time to time although I don’t recall that either of them ever got seriously Ill. The cost however of not allowing them to explore the world by taking them out to playgrounds, parks, museums, the zoo, cafes, the beach (whatever it is that your family enjoys) is quite obvious. They have not had the opportunity to do these activities on a regular basis and have had very minimal interaction with other children.

I get that each family have to do what’s best for them but given that they were exposed to “germs from the outside world” anyway, I feel like perhaps they could have benefited from getting out and about a bit more.

Probably would’ve helped to highlight Riley needing help. Being in different environments, conversations with different people, accessing more of the community in general… I find it odd she didn’t have any maternal child health appointments that would’ve highlighted the issues at least? Like come on. The point made about being exposed anyway, it would’ve probably helped to reduce anxiety and teach the girls about hand hygiene in a non hysterical way. Losing her tit over every tiny thing is just going to ensure her children are going to be catastrophic thinkers as well.

Instead of calling an ambulance when the child's condition was deteriorating Angry Bird calls the husband home from work to pack the entire family into the car & head off to the hospital. Very strange behaviour.

Angry Bird 🫠 omg too accurate!! I’m so glad she’s got her own thread now - thank you!! never followed her but somehow stumbled on her page…I thought she was a bit nuts then and quite disingenuous and try-hardish. Couldn’t make it as an actual influencer so had to find an angle - IVF warrior/NICU mum was clearly convenient. Watched her stories every now and then and then she blocked me!! I can’t believe they went on to have a fourth child - anything for engagement, right?

have loved reading up here and took a quick look from my other Insta account she is a terrible excuse for a mother. Exploiting her poor girls and playing up her ptsd/anxiety for the gram. Gross.

If you don't follow her and watch her stories she blocks you! So just watch her on Picuki. Don't give that swomp rat any engagement.

Darth Vader much?

 

[Bizziebody]

There is something very wrong with her if she thinks this is the most important thing to do after having Covid..
Attention seeking Angry Bird.

You’d think having another child the exact same age would be enough to highlight Riley’s extra needs. I feel so sorry for the poor poppet, she’s missed so much early intervention.

I almost spat out my drink!! EYEBROW TIME!!

Why oh why?! Her real brows look nothing like what she gets done whatever she does I have no idea. 🫠

She’s a germaphobe but loves op shops? Not saying op shops are full of germs either, but truly thought she would be maniac enough to need everything brand new.

Haha I’ve had this exact thought! Not that op shops are germy but for someone so neurotic, I’m surprised!

 

[usemycode]

Aaaand she’s shared Riley’s school report, with some text over it but you can still read parts of it. Those kids don’t have an ounce of privacy.

 

[makeitstop]

The question Grecian is why did you ignore Riley’s needs for all those years.

 

[lalalalalallalalalalala]

That live was not a good look for Grecian. I only watched a few minutes but she came across and so pompous and like was all about her her her. Awkward AF. She has it saved on her podcast partners page for 24 hrs I think

 

[MrsEyeroll]

According to her it was everybody else's fault

 

[Bizziebody]

Angry Bird needs her eyes tested if she thinks those eyebrows are 'on point'.

 

[tonedeaftitties]

Can someone decode this for me please? Is English her second language?

 

[adelaidewallflower]

Not shaming the poor little girl but that report said she can’t count to 3. How in gods name did this woman not realise how delayed her child was?

Oh that’s so sad the report says that. She’s a terribly neglectful parent, as is the husband.
