There have been some people criticising laorse's development from the word go. To be fair, at one point it did look slightly concerning (even taking into account the fact we only see snapshots, what laureen wants us to see). Being plonked in a seat on a kitchen worktop or in front of the telly day after day after day with minimal interaction wasn't great to see.
Some of laureen's parenting was downright dangerous.
But the overwhelming majority of people and comments are caring, not 'picking her apart'.
There have been comparisons with what so and so could do at 8 months, how quickly little charlotte played the grand piano and how tejay was running marathons at 6 weeks. It's inevitable.
But if you scroll through past threads, comments are mostly either suggestions to loz (we all know she reads here) about how enriching playgroups would be, free days out, etc etc.
That's despite knowing she won't take a blind bit of notice. Maybe those suggestions were useful to other parents reading here , who knows. They were with the best of intentions.
We've never seen laorse being read to.
She’s only just started mixing with other children.
You can see how she spends much of her time - telly, eating.
Children develop at different stages, in their own sweet time. Some don't hit targets at all. Most here know this.
It's all been discussed in detail.
You're admonishing a lot of people who have done nothing but 'stick up for' laroasties from the word go.
Well said. Mostly people have been criticising BYGs parenting and we know she reads this thread at times.
There have been suggestions that we never saw photos/vids of Laorse playing with toys and that her surroundings seem sterile other than the TV. Next day on IG there's been photos of toys being played with. This is just 1 example.
Tattlers have criticised how much food Larose is eating and there were earlier IG posts where she was giving her food which was inappropriate for her age (high in salt or weaning when she was only a few weeks old) and then BYG stating she was going to do a blog or vid to 'teach' other mothers how to wean their children at a few weeks old. So of course, people have commented on this.
That meal the other night Loarose was eating, as an educator, I find most 5 year olds would struggle to finish. Yes, some comments (not that many) may come across as being aimed at Laorse but she is the product of her parents.
She was very inactive and looked very chubby at some points but now she is walking she seems to have lost a little of the puppy fat. My son didn't walk until 19 months, and I was worried (but he was 8 weeks prem) but he needed to be encouraged to walk. He was crawling at 10 months and couldn't be bothered to toddle despite constant coaching and encouragement. But he was tiny and never overweight. He played in a door bouncer for months and then was in a walker, then a bike type walker to strengthen his legs. The difference (obviously what we see on IG/media etc) is that Laorse didn't have any of these items/walking aids as far as we could see and the images portrayed by her parents were TV, TV, more TV whilst being sat in her chair eating, eating, eating. Equally she was getting bigger and bigger, and as this is a tattle site, people will tattle.
It's natural to make comparisons on any topic anywhere, not just on Tattle. But we need to remember none of this is Larose's fault and such comments are aimed at the parents not at the baby.
