HomewithShan #6 Still ignores her kids & asks ‘why does George scream at me?’, would take a poke in eye for free

[graceanatomy]

I didn't think what she did was outrageous considering she was doing an ad for underwear. I'd say most underwear ads show the person wearing the underwear. She didn't really show them very well though did she. Even though she pulled down her pants I still don't have a very clear idea of how they fit

Shan did a shit job of selling them to me because she's so disingenuous and I don't believe she has ever worn them except to film that ad. She's going to use her own discount code and buy one for every day of the week? Ok Shan. What, did the company only send you ONE pair then?

@Puffin_island I am interested to try them for sure... is one pair a day enough or do you need to change them every few hours? do you just stick them straight in the washing or do you have to soak them separately and which brand do you think is best?

 

[Puffin_island]

With the amount of blw recipes she's sharing, she's definitely trying that route out. I hate how social media makes everything think they are experts in whatever they feel like for that day.

Why is she only wanting child locks now H is on the move? She has a nearly 4 year old, surely she should have kitchen cupboards safely locked around him too? Or is his safety not as important as H? Weirdo!

Precisely my thoughts. She must have had some for G but maybe different kitchen cabinets? But either way, she only did this to get the money from the affiliate link. That's about it. She probably got better recommendations outside Amazon, but if she posts those she doesn't make a profit.

 

[cosmicstar]

Do you guys think that is how she copes at work and how she landed the role? By copying others to make herself look better than what she is?

I have no doubt

 

[realistic_real_life]

Hasn’t she got a dog? Surely that makes cleaning up all the food easy?

 

[Puffin_island]

It's her birthday and she's spent it posting two shitty reels. What a saddo.

Further proof she has no friends. Yes it's a weekday and most people probably are working but if she had made any friends while being on maternity she could have easily gone out with H for lunch date (think G is at nursery today?) and said friend and baby. Heck, she could have gone out with just H and had a nice lunch but instead she really spoiled herself with a coffee and Lidl bakery.

So instead of waking him up and potentially dealing with a tantrum she's moving him to the sofa to continue napping?? Then when he doesn't sleep tonight she can complain about him tomorrow

Doesn't the new funding start in September for 9+ month olds

I think its if both parents are working? I know the 2 year funding is for working parents. Unless churning out a shit vlog once a week counts as working

 

[ohsosweet]

I wonder if she thought by tagging her at the event she would have reposted and she obviously has a larger following so wanted to pinch some.

 

[Puffin_island]

What the worst part about being a mum?

Having to deal with Shan setting the bar so low of what it's like to be a decent parent.

 

[cosmicstar]

It really annoys me when health things aren't shared accurately or just for personal financial gain!
Even if she simply added a comment of "if you think your child has growing pains, please check nhs.co.uk" it would show she actually cared about sharing information that actually helped, rather than just try blag free stuff for herself. She claims she wants to build a mama support village but isn't actually providing things that would "support" another person in any way other than buying stuff from her affiliate link.

She is also claiming the supplements have made him calmer and helped with his tantrums and all sorts of non-proven facts. I keep saying this but she is dangerous.

The whole "village" thing is a joke. It's only created to fulfill her own interests.

It's £60 for a starter set without the discount. If you want press on nails, they're a few quid for boots or superdrug.....

Though I'm old fashioned and still use traditional nail polish and do a manicure at home so what do I know.

 

[cosmicstar]

She's ran out of content ideas and that is all.

Couldn't agree more. Considering how much time she spends on her phone scrolling down she could have come up with a few by now:

- how to jazz up HelloFresh recipes to make them even yummier
- games to play with 2 kids
- how to entertain 2 kids with a low budget (that doesn't involve softplay)
- how to plan meals for 2 kids at different stages (1 weaning, one not)

etc etc etc. Those were just off the top off my mind without doing any research. Ultimately what most social media algorithms care about is quality content that is in keeping with your channel's topics. If she planned those and edited them well I can guarantee you her socials would grow exponentially.

The quality content rule is the basis of any content creation. Yet one she continues to skip and ignore (probably not even aware..)

 

[Puffin_island]

New video coming tomorrow and it's a "let's all talk about me." I am intrigued by the going back to work bit though!

 

[whatshernameagain_93]

Oh the reels

You'd honestly think she had like 5 followers what an actual disaster they are awful!!! How can she be so ignorant to not realise!

 

[cosmicstar]

Didn't she have some marvellous councelling sessions? Surely those must have cured her and improved her mood right...?

It would not surprise me if she puts the TV on to avoid messing up the house. And I agree, she must thing its a huge deal if the house isnt tidy 24/7. But how can you be with kids?

 

[Sophs2095]

Why is she so insistent all of a sudden to highlight the fact that ash vapes? Posting twice in a row what’s in his pockets? Very bizarre.. I wonder if she still vapes herself.

Maybe “tradie wife” is going to be her next thing

 

[Srb93]

She seems to actually be incapable of holding a bottle and feeding a baby in a normal manner. Another weird as hell position she's feeding Halle in to add to the catalogue

The stupid face she pulls

We potty trained at New Year and by day 5 we had no accidents and hadn’t had an accident in about 5ish weeks! So definitely is not like how she described, for us anyway!
We also still use a pull up for night time, would rather that than change sheets in the night!

It can vary for everyone but it took my LG about 4 days to crack the basics and any accidents we had were more misses of not getting to the toilet quick enough. Within 2 weeks it was as if day nappies never existed. It does take some kids a bit of time to adjust getting used to under pants but even then it only takes a day or two for them to adjust. We did have a minor regression about 4 months in where she would say "I need a wee" but then go right there but that only lasted maybe a week. 8 months later and we only rely on night nappies and can get away with only carrying one pair of spare clothing (though I carry more just in case)
) and even then not had to use them! You have to be committed and really responsive when they say they need to go, which Shan probably hasn't been. Pretty sure she started potty training well before my LG started too. I know it's not a competition but it shouldn't take that long to still not be mostly accident free.

The oh crap book is what we used for daytime training and really recommend it. My biggest tip is when they do have an accident, don't make it a big deal and try not make any loud noises as that can make them think they're doing something wrong and can lead to them holding it or going to hide and do it.

This is so re-assuring to hear! I would take your lot advice any day rather than Shan's! Will look at the book too

 

[Dramallama2]

I'm really passionate about aerospace engineering too. I have never done a degree (or ay type of course) in the subject, or spoken to any advisors or experts. But I am very passionate. I have however watched loads of TV shows and youtube videos on the topic.

Would you trust me to give you advice as to how to make a rocket?

Not defending her (because I'd hate to do that), but there is nothing wrong with saving for your child's future. In fact it has been a criticism of Shan that has been discussed in previous posts how she has never mentioned G's savings.

In this day and age, unless you are loaded, if you want your kids to have a good education, or even a down-payment for a house in the future you have to start saving for them now. I don't think putting £80 aside a month is a lot of money, but I am sure that depends on each family.

She chooses not to go on trips, and I don't think that's out of lack of funds, but lack of a personality.

Yes I know their is nothing wrong with saving for your child’s future, but I don’t think that should not be in place of spending it on their actual childhood and depriving them memories/taking them nice places when you can afford to do so (maybe I should of said that in the initial post) We manage do both so i’m more than sure she will be able to do that too, which she absolutely doesn’t. As I said I haven’t watched the vlog and don’t intend to so don’t know how much she is saving but just my opinion.
