Maybe the kids like going to the kids club as they get a break from being filmed, photographed and made to stand in one spot til mummy gets the right pic for insta šŸ¤”
I mean we jest but this is likely the reality. Imagine if your parents always had their face behind a camera or phone. These children are clearly growing up in a family situation that is far different to what we experienced as children so who are we to judge if they actually ā€œwantā€ to go to these kids clubs as a way for them to get away. Even if Sian believes the kids truly want to be there, she should take a good look at why that is. Is it because they want to spend time having fun with strangers or would they rather be with their parents if they would only give them some actual quality time where they didnā€™t pick up their phones or run off to ā€œworkoutā€ or read a book obscenely quickly.

Theyā€™re giving me such McCann vibes on this holiday.

They donā€™t look remotely worried at all. Literally not phased.

I know we all have different opinions about kids clubs but if they were my two little girls, Iā€™d be hovering around the kids club panicking and waiting for them to finish!! Not sending them to a club every day of the ā€˜family holiday.ā€™

A nighttime kids club?! Wtf.

Imagine taking your kids out of school to go on holiday and then your mum & dad posting online that youā€™re constantly at kids club, for all to see. I wonder what reason they gave for taking them out of school, quality family time?

Exactly.

How educational, sitting in an Ibiza kids club whilst your Mum and Dad enjoy child free time. That they could have enjoyed at home whilst you were at school learning....

As always with the behaviour of this woman...

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Why didn't they leave the girls at home with family so they can attend school? Such odd behaviour.

I know they have talked about people having their own time and itā€™s important to have time to yourselves etcā€¦ I agree with that. But they take it to the extreme! Have your own time at home when the kids are at school - which she does in abundance (!!! Hello shopping, baths, runs, FaceTime with foreign friendsā€¦whatever) a family holiday is not the time for having your own personal time when you have kids that young who donā€™t actually understand that they could spend the time with their parents if they had the choice. I bet if they offered them the choice theyā€™d not go to kids clubā€¦

Makes me so sad. I used to go to kids clubs on holiday for fun and to make friends. But only for 1 or 2 hours at a time. All that my parents did were relax a little bit more without having to watch me like a hawk when I was playing in the pool. And I never went in the bloody evening!
Does anyone watch the despicable 3? They recently went on a cruise and their son chose to go to the kids club one day, they werenā€™t celebrating that he went to the kids club !!

I donā€™t think people who put their kids in kids club are bad people. Iā€™m sure they are great to keep kids occupied and have probably improved from what they used to be like in the past. Itā€™s just that she makes such a song and dance about family time and then doesnā€™t have any. Literally, apart from the photos of them walking on the beach and pre meal photos, where are the photos of them making memories? Like them laughing together doing a quiz in the bar or dancing together to the entertainment or just anything that could be deemed family time other than eating togetherā€¦thereā€™s no family time that they wouldnā€™t get at home.

What gets me is how she sort of tried to justify the kids club by saying they are learning in there. . .I'm pretty sure they'd be learning if they were in bloody school lady!
I agree they could have left them with family, but then I know we would have slated them for that too šŸ™Š

I know we've all miased out on holidays but this pair are ridiculous, they've not missed out on going away, they've just not gone to WDW!

My boyfriend and I had one night away to a zoo last year and a wedding at the end of this month and we are adding a day to the trip to have time away. We don't have kids but we have pets......it's not compulsory to go away each year

Exactly, and apart from the kids club it looks like a very 'adult' resort

She was the same on the 2/3 days ā€˜blink and youā€™ll miss it Disney cruiseā€™.... she was soon bragging about shoving them in the kids club so she can go into the adults only area.

I think she does it to be ā€˜relatableā€™... ā€œlook at meā€™ Iā€™m a feel exhausted Mumā€ except she isnā€™t... sheā€™s always doing things for herself. Iā€™ve never known a mum with so much time for herself

I love D3. I love that whilst he was in kids club they just wandered round waiting for the time to meet him. Thatā€™s something Iā€™d do.
To me, theyā€™re relatable.

The krapps, especially Sian, use the girls as props then when sheā€™s taken her photo or got a few cute video shots (minus the inappropriate ones šŸ˜”), I feel she begrudges them for consuming her time. Sheā€™s obsessed with likes/views and keeping up with the next Disney obsessed vlogger. Sheā€™s missing out on the most important years with those girls and sheā€™ll never get the time back.

Nail on the head - my kiddos are slightly older then their lovely girls, we are a ā€˜ Disney family ā€˜ too boy due to the olā€™ panny -d we have missed out on 2 trips, I know when ( if , itā€™s really not the same as it was ) we go back those magical moments wonā€™t be there anymore, they wonā€™t have a heart attack over Minnie Mouse , twirl for Ariel etc , thatā€™s 2 small years thatā€™s happened in ! Enjoy your kiddos when theyā€™re young and they think you're better then Spider-Man, that time is so precious and itā€™s a shame to waste it for a book around the pool šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

I do think kids clubs are subjective.

We have been on a couple of all inclusive holidays with our only child, and she actively asked to see the schedule for the following day and choose which sessions she wanted to go to (if any). She had seen kids playing games etc outside with the club, and felt she was missing out. Whilst we encouraged her - she's super shy, so were surprised she wanted to go, and felt it was a positive thing for her personally in her being vocal about stepping outside her comfort zone - it was always her choice.

We had also checked the set up of the club/checks etc etc (generally tui & first choice will only recruit British staff with nursery level qualificationa).

I don't think we are bad parents for letting her go most days, sometimes for 2 x 2hr sessions - we were led by her. Of course we missed her, and stayed close to the club etc, but it helped her make friends who she then played with in the pool/at the evening entertainment etc. She never would have been brave enough to approach them without kids club breaking the ice for her.

My holiday memories as a child are full of friends we made on holiday, as well as having a brilliant time with my parents - I don't think it has to be all or nothing, as long as the kids are happy.

Just putting another perspective out there, not to defend the knapps, but because I don't feel that all kids in clubs have been "dumped" there, as that was definitely not the case in our situation.

@Numpty1 no one is saying kids clubs are bad, your situation is different. Itā€™s only being discussed here on Knappilys thread because she made a big point of it being a family holiday to reconnect and spend time together which is a bit hard to do if the girls are in kids club all the time!

To be fair to them in Leicester October time off starts early because they go back to school early. But they are constantly putting them girls in the kids clubs. Shocked at the nighttime one!!

She is constantly complaining about them. She has made a big song and dance about stopping the shop to spend more time with them and here she has 10 days with them and shes basically gleeful to be rid of them.

I have no doubt that she does love them in her own way and yeah, but this fake budget, mum, hun life she puts up is infuriating. The girls deserve better.

Also we rag on her but hes no better. He enables this tit at the very least, takes part in it at worst.

You would of thought that he would put his foot down at the posting of daisy sat in wee, the clip of lyla showing the whole internet her pants or the pictures of daisy on a nebuliser in A&E.

What parent does that!? A couple of tit ones.

Literally this, I have never seen a Mum of kids so young have time to do everything she does but then still moan that she needs time to herself. She literally shops all the time, socialises with people, gets her hair done, her nails done, has time to film and edit vlogs, go on solo holidays, go on family holidays, run or workout, read books, post her life on Instagram, but then complains she needs time alone. My best friend has two young kids under 3 and hasnā€™t had a night off in 3 years, has had her hair done twiceā€¦. Nothing wrong with either scenario but donā€™t say you donā€™t get time for yourself Sian, you are bloody time rich!
