He reminds me of my teenage sisters best friends mum. She makes her go out on runs to train for pe, anytime they do a new sport she makes her read the rules and watch it on YouTube to study technique. Its pe, not that deep. But I can totally see joe doing that.

This. Being a parent is hard and we all do it our own ways. Mistakes and all. To say that about his own mum after she was obviously just doing her best at the time is actually despicable. What a horrid little man. One day his kids will put him down, superdad of the year. I hope when that time comes (and it will) he remembers what he wrote about his own mum. Ewwwww he is actually a revolting person.

I remember that- she also wasn’t happy that he was exposed to Cheerios at nursery if I remember correctly. Was disappointed he wanted them as he usually only ate porridge or weetabix. My toddler loves Cheerios, must be a bad parent eh?! Haha

Does anyone else think social media is overcomplicating parenting and it is all so competitive nowadays???

At the end of the day we're all women doing our best particularly in the current situation. I can guarantee none of you are doing a 'crap' job. So what if your toddler gets a bit too much tv time or had a bowl of cornflakes for breakfast, a ham sandwich for dinner and chicken nuggets for tea (like mine yesterday ) You're all doing a great job, your babies are loved and safe, ignore the daft prick xx

Agreed. I'm really glad I found this board and saw all the comments. It's made me more relaxed about feeding my daughter and enjoy it more rather than stressing over each mouthful she does or doesn't eat.

When I first starting weaning my son, I feel like Instagram blw pages had just started taking off... felt so bad I wasn’t giving him chia seeds or sprinkling nutritional yeast over a three bean salad
My mom gave my head a wobble and sorted me out!
There’s enough stuff you worry about with babies/kids as it is without this tosspot spouting his crap, he’s definitely not an example to follow, if my brother or sister spoke about mum that way no way would I let it slide!

Guarantee you're a great mum. I'd rather have a mum like you than a dad like joe and I'm not alone on that.

I absolutely do. I’ve only been a mum 8 months but it’s taken me that long to realise all the weaning experts, sleep consultants etc online were giving me unrealistic expectations, and anxiety that I’m not doing well because my kid doesn’t sleep and he eats pouches half the time!

My partner had to give me a talking to about the fact our baby is happy, healthy and developing fine...and these ‘experts’ are most of the time self-professed (I.e. joe is not even qualified in nutrition) and just trying to exploit parental anxiety for financial gain. It’s disgusting really.

I remember that- she also wasn’t happy that he was exposed to Cheerios at nursery if I remember correctly. Was disappointed he wanted them as he usually only ate porridge or weetabix. My toddler loves Cheerios, must be a bad parent eh?! Haha
She’s working with another instagrammer now who has been a mum for 2 weeks...
SR is just looking for fame and fortune the same as Joe.

I’m sure I remember Joe saying that his mum loaned him some money to buy equipment to start his business. Does anyone remember that when he told the story of his success? I guess he’s forgotten that considering all the digs he’s taking at her at the moment. Very sad.

Absolutely! It’s all a big competition to see who’s a ‘better’ parent! I get sick to the back teeth of how it is!

I feel super lucky I have never been remotely "influenced" by any of these influencers, if I have a parenting question I will ask a friend or something.

It must be horrible to compare yourselves to these people and think you're doing everything wrong, they should really think about what they are posting and how it can effect people.

I don't even follow most of them just watch their stories and then read the threads as they are so funny getting me through lockdown one thread at a time!

I think Joe probably had a childhood like many of us did. Busy working parents that did the best they could. He really needs to remember how privileged he is to be home all day with his babies, not worrying about how to make ends meet. Imagine still being mad at your mum 30 years on for not being breastfed.

This exactly! My daughter is 2 and only says a handful of words, she’s super bright but has a speech delay. I’m a single mum with disabilities and I’m finding tings a real struggle at the moment and I always feel like I don’t do enough for her as nothing is ever enough for your child. Then people like joe come along not only making me feel like I’ve not done enough (we do flash cards she doesn’t give a shit) but shaming the childhood he had stating it’s a bad childhood. I live in a Council house and feed my daughter sandwiches sometimes, I don’t read to her every night as some nights I’m in crippling pain and I just can’t. So I’m giving her a bad childhood am I? I’ve unfollowed him and blocked so I don’t have to see his shit anymore.
