why on earth would anyone sane think that people would enjoy watching an entire vlog of someone being exasperated and impatient with their child for absolutely no reason. Poor george. He just needs some love and attention and not even telling her that he's in pain gets him any. She mentioned the growing pains as though it's the first time she's ever mentioned it - this has been going on for months, right? If my child was telling me repeatedly for months and months that they were in pain and waking up screaming with it, I would not leave the doctors office until they referred us to a specialist.
I nearly choked on my coffee when she was talking about how she doesn't do enough with the kids, take them out to groups and activities etc because she's always just cleaning and then in the next breath said she had a new plan to clean/organise a different part of the house each day. What?!? I thought she was going to say how she has a plan to go to a different play group every day and stop fixating on the cleaning but nope. Shan, get out and go places with your kids in the daytime and set a timer for 30mins after they're in bed and bash out whatever cleaning you can get done in that time. Make Ash participate too. I promise you'll feel better.
Why are her kids always in a different room to her? She's obsessed with distracting them so she can escape and sit down talking to a camera having a cup of tea in another room. Even the video of them at budget centre parks or wherever they were; she said Halle was inside chilling on her play mat or bouncer or something so that meant she could escape and go outside talking to a camera for a good 10 mins... why? If Halle is just chilling out why couldn't she be doing her vlog in there with her so that at least Halle has some company. There's obviously times when I'm in another room to my kids briefly because I need to make a drink or get something or whatever but I'm not constantly trying to distract them so I can leave them for prolonged periods of time. They're young, like hers! Anything I need to do I can do around them, and ideally get them involved with as much as possible so they are included and uh, learn valuable life skills!

I honestly think Shan is a perfect example of why social media/influencer culture can be really harmful & toxic. when she first started out she actually seemed like a loving parent, had time for her child and seemed to genuinely want to be a good mum to George. She seemed to know how to look after a child. As the years have passed, chasing followers, the superficialness and shallowness of it all, everything being about content...I mean, she is practically brain dead at this point. She went from someone who was a loving parent to someone who just simply DOESNT parent, someone who hasn't a clue how to connect with her kids. She needs to deactivate all of her accounts and focus on being there for her children. Influencer life is not for her. She's tit at it and in her repeated attempts at trying to flog a dead horse she's actually neglecting her children
