Everything else aside I think the decision to have a second baby when Lambrini is still not even 1 is very selfish of them.
if you’re going to do something like this then, in my view, you need proper help, a stable relationship, good financial backing or at least planning and a very good understanding of what development milestones and needs the older one will have. You need all of these things so you can ensure that the older one doesn’t go without or become neglected as a result of the younger one coming in when they are still so young. There are many people in this world who could do this and do it very well. Many people raise kids close in age very well.
But do I believe these two pricks are two of them? No.
Lauren has already proven that she has no idea what she is going with regards to LaPoos development. I remind you of the early weaning debacle, lack of toys, lack of engagement and failure to reovngise signs of teething. So I don’t believe for a second that when her attention is even more divided by a second baby, she will be able to properly develop and nurture Lacoste. This isn’t like having twins where they all develop at similar stages - this is a situation in which you have to really work hard at assisting and developing each child separately.
Their relationship is extremely unstable. Even if you think all the on again off again stuff is for show it is certainly clear that he has been shagging around and it’s not a good environment for one, let alone two small babies.
duck knows how they make money but two small babies of different ages is very expensive. They will need two of many things like high chairs, car seats and cots for years as Labored won’t grow our of them in time to hand them on. Nursery fees will overlap Etc etc. I don’t see how they can afford this given that they have taken to selling their cast offs for 50 quid on depop.
shes moved in her drug addict mother. This isn’t proper help. It’s some sort of help, granted, but I don’t think it will be enough. This situation requires Either paid help, or one hell of a grandparent extraordinaire to help with everything from weaning to cleaning. Or, if that’s not available, a very driven and responsible mother plus a decent dad who has the Motivation and drive to get in from work and immediately start cleaning or playing with the babieS - they aren’t these people and the chosen grandparent is highly likely to fall put with one or both of them fairly quickly so this is going to be an issue.
I think that these two people in particular are insanely selfish to do this. If LaBamba was well looked after and properly nurtured and attended to, rather than being plonked in places while Laureen is bleeping about on her phone I might have given them the benefit of the doubt but as it is, I think this is cruel to LaLaa and going to be a disaster
I’m sure someone will be along shortly to tell me that they raised 3 under 2 alone on only £17.24 a week in a 400 sq ft bed sit, and now ones a Supreme Court judge, one is a stockbroker and one’s Jeff Bezos… but I stand by the above based on common sense and responsibility.
