She’s definitely too chirpy and happy for the baby to be a boy. I hope it’s one of those situations where they’ve got it wrong on the scan

I’ve got a 3 year old boy. Due a baby girl in 6 weeks and as much as I’m delighted to be having a girl, I would’ve loved another boy. All I’ve heard since finding out is how hard girls are after the age of 8 🫠
are the pretty clothes really worth it

And they don't all want to be stuck in dresses and oversized, ridiculous looking bows. Lots are tomboys, full of sass and attitude. Hopefully Jade ends up with one who shatters all her stereotypical illusions of being a girl Mum.
She’s always wanted to be Emma. I remember YEARS ago she did a story moaning about why other people on instagram got stuff and had fabulous lives and there she was slaving away for 4 hours a week in Asda and why didn’t she have all this. This was around the time she wanted to be a yootoober"the aesthetic is everything" - why is she copying Lifethroughemseyes? Both are utterly cringe. How are these grown women & Mothers? Like I actually can't fathom it. The way they talk, how they behave. All so odd.
imbecile
OMG I remember her practically bawling that she doesnt get gifted anything bla bla bla...the entitlement!She’s always wanted to be Emma.

Confused why school holidays makes any difference to Jade n River? Surely he can still do his normal days at nursery bar the upcoming Bank Holidays and as if she's ever up and out by 6.30?! Unless hubbies off work throwing routine out of sync
Unless if it’s a preschool attached to a school, so would have the holidays too
It’ll be a Flying Start playgroup he attends and they are term time only
Jeez she's got no hope- denying River her time and interaction and feeling guilty about not giving the baby (that's still in her womb) attention -fair enough it's lovely to feel baby shifting about but being a mum to more than one is hard but ppl do it all the time and believe it or not some ppl even have 2-5/67/8/9 children!
she'll have a screaming baby soon
R really will be put aside 
"mummies gotta sleep when babies sleeping" so she'll be upstairs making out she's not there/ sending River off to grandparents / "baby needs me more" as excuse to not playing with him 
poor little lad has no clue what's coming

I’m 34 weeks pregnant, worked 35 hours this week, my husbands away on a stag do all weekend, 3 year old son got up and 5:40am and I’ve just got back from taking him to the park to feed the ducks and play in the park and a walk around the pond. I don’t get these mothers who think the only thing there is to do with toddlers is take them to soft play and then complain when they can’t just sit there with a coffee
She actually infuriates me. She is a horrible person. Utterly horrible to the core. I can already see River taking a back seat when this baby comes - she's definitely one of these toxic parents who will have a golden child & play favourites. It for tit certain won't be River, 'cause she literally can't be arsed as it is with him. She's pregnant, not ill. There's women with multiple kids, kids with SEN, who literally work for as long as they can, whilst pregnant and who wouldn't dream of sitting on their arses consistently and whinging about feelings of guilt and whatever other rit. Everything is always SO hard for her. Her child has additional needs and is clearly non verbal. My God. She is going to have to spend his entire educational life fighting for absolutely everything he needs. THAT tit is hard, it's exhausting. But hey ho, there's millions of us in that boat and we do it willingly for our children. We would do it over and over again, in a million different lifetimes, because having a child is making a commitment. This daft bint doesn't have a baldy. Someone needs to tell her to get a grip of herself. She lives in a bleeping vacuum. And those eyebrows. They've their own postcode ffs.
I've never got this obsession with a gender of a baby. I've got 3 boys, my baby is adopted and people were like "get a girl" errrrm why? I'm gonna get the child that is matched with me. Boys are ace. Girls are ace.
As for palming River off, I do believe kids should be bonded to their family of course and my kids love their grandparents and either side is always on hand to help me out in a crisis. A crisis. Not so I can fart about with my face and self tan or whatever. Bottom line is my children belong in their home with me.

I'm all for any parent having a break because without one, it's easy to reach burn out and fast. I'm all for any parent wanting to exercise self care and have a pamper - I think it's good for our children to see us do these things, to learn that you have to value and look after yourself. With Jade, it's all memememe me, myself and I. Pregnancy, pregnancy, pregnancy. This baby. ALL to the detriment of her little boy, who is having so many of his basic emotional needs being neglected. It's tragic. An absolute shitshow.

You can do this stuff without dumping your kids at their grandparents though, especially if you're a two parent family. I manage the gym 4x a week, and rest when my kids are sleeping. Each to their own but I think insta has got everyone thinking they can only do one or the other. I manage perfectly fine to shower and take care of myself whilst still being a parent.
Totally different if you're a one parent household though.
But having a shower isn't self care. It's basic hygiene. Sleeping isn't self care...it's just a basic human need that has to be met. I'm not saying I don't understand where you're coming from - but self care is definitely a bit more than meeting our needs at their most basic. I certainly don't have the time or desire to faff about with my appearance the way Jade does. But I won't be made to feel bad for ever asking for a break or admitting I desperately want one. Difference is, I'm aware my Daughter is autistic, I'm not burying my head in the sand and I fight tooth and nail for her needs to be met. Jade is in gaga land and all about Jade. All the time.
There’s also a difference when you have to work, and parent. Needing a break is perfectly normal. She doesn’t work, so when he’s at nursery, wtf is she actually doing?
I never said showering was a break?! I said people manage to do it without palming their kids off. Self care is subjective to the individual person anyway. Jade has plenty of time for a break. For me self care is spin sessions, reading and listening to long podcasts whilst walking the dog. All of which I don't have to make my children leave their home for.
We can disagree. Self care or breaks or whatever we are calling them should be factored into life. I don't need time to "self care" as i ensure I am taking care of myself all the time. I don't want my kids to ever think I need a break from them personally so I wouldn't send them away. But each to their own. Let's move it along x
