Just been on the phone to my mum because she fed me Rice Krispies as a child ! I’m fuming
What a braggy parent post that talking video is. He genuinely believes it's all down to him. Why is he even posting it it's a weaning page ?!Everything in the lady's post is absolutely true, but she's barking up the wrong tree. Obviously Joe isn't going to add that to his post, because clearly the reason Indie can say these words is because of his superior parenting ability!
Couldn't say dinosaur or sunflower though. How very remiss of him! Time to get back to those flash cards!
She’s definitely barking up the wrong tree there....the messiah thinks his super dad abilities are the only reason. He’ll get a(bother) surprise with Marley I suspectEverything in the lady's post is absolutely true, but she's barking up the wrong tree.

I actually don’t think I could cope if he started quoting the early years milestones (teacher here) he’ll be a bloody expert in them too soon.Everything in the lady's post is absolutely true, but she's barking up the wrong tree.

The latest video tells me that they just encourage Indie to repeat words parrot fashion and probably keep repeating the word until says it. That’s not fun for a 2 year old and doesn’t show any comprehension. It’s just repetition which any parent can do.You have to be so careful when bragging about your pride at your child’s milestones when your audience is other parents. Mine was an amazing talker and I’ll never forget telling another mum about how great her speech was coming along and see her face fall - because I’d Inadvertently pressed on something she was anxious about in her own little girl. You spend so much time worrying about your kids and it’s so easy to trample on someone’s feelings and anxieties.
It’s a funny thing to brag about too - knowing lots of words is obviously a quantifiable thing to show off, but encouraging language in context, conversational flow, back and forth etc are important too in learning communication skills. He says he makes it fun, but not sure constantly being tested sounds like much of a laugh to me....songs, stories, conversations and role play sound much more exciting!
What was with Indies dinner, no wonder she left most of it! Bit mean!Long time lurker here. I mean what was Indies suppera thrown together bowl of nothing. I’m down with tonsillitis, sweating one moment and shaking the other, but even I managed to do a nicer supper for my son. Tortellini, pesto and broccoli. Just give the kid some proper food already.
Definitely a 0-100 on the carbs frontSpaghetti, broccoli, potato, lentils, carrot....what the fuuuuuuckkkk? SO mean considering hes had a Danish pastry today while he gives her that slop. Such a hypocrite. Never heard of anyone eating spaghetti pasta and potato together
Completely agree. We have friends who’s child is 6months older than our son and they constantly ‘humble brag’ about what she can do to us/all over FB...the latest is that she can can ‘read’ her books. She can’t read, she’s just learnt the story verbatim so can parrot them back. My partner and I do chuckle about it as we see it for what it is, unnecessary bragging. This is all Joe is doing with Indie - put the phone away and talk to her about different things, sing songs, play games etc.The latest video tells me that they just encourage Indie to repeat words parrot fashion and probably keep repeating the word until says it.

I did this too and was mortified as it wasn’t my intention.You have to be so careful when bragging about your pride at your child’s milestones when your audience is other parents.

I think someone needs to explain to him the definition of 'fun'...He says he makes it fun, but not sure constantly being tested sounds like much of a laugh to me....songs, stories, conversations and role play sound much more exciting!
This absolute clown would shit himself if he saw how much sugar I was allowed to put on my rice krispies as a kid. My mum wasn't arsed because it was the only added sugar I had in the week. And guys, I'm a nutritionist who is healthy. My mum didn't give me kale, spinach or even broccoli because we all hate it but we are and were healthy and happy. If that meant being off our rocker for the day, so be it.Weren't all kids in the 80s/90s fed sugary cereal? It was the trend at the time. The adverts were all over prime time tv and were aimed at kids. They used cartoon characters to target the advertising at kids. They still do! Some cereals were even promoted as being 'low fat' and were marketed as dieting aids. I'm really not buying that he was hard done by. It sounds like he had a relatively normal upbringing to me.
