I thought that or an ice hockey referee!!That jumper looks like a Newcastle United jersey.
And she might soon go off Rudy the Boy Prince once he starts running around and having toddler tantrums.

I bet she contacted the seller and was told she could not have a replacement, so now she had to blame her viewers for buying them.Did anyone else interpret her “3000 swipes” not only as a humblebrag but also as a “duck you for selling it out now mine can’t be perfect”
I agree with this, kids really don’t need much and are so unpredictable with what they will really like and play with a lot.I think people calling this disgusting are overreacting quite a bit (although I'm sure lily isn't doing this to be sustainable!).
Absolutely with you. The only gift my second will get this year is what we get together with the big sibling. Mostly to teach them that getting gifts for others is nice too. And I think it’s fine only to put the little sweets that just pile up over the year into an Adventcalendar. There really is no need for additional stuff. Picking out her daughters favourite sweets might be a problem for Lily though. I am shocked about the book stuff. Of course she will remember. Children at 3-6 have incredible memory. They often can recite their favourite books and correct you if you dare to leave things out, beat you at memory games and in general remember lots of stuff you’d think they have long forgotten. And why pass up on the opportunity to get them new books?I have to be honest, my son will be nearly 4 months at Christmas and he is getting mostly yours I'd kept from my 3 year old when she was this going. I've bought a couple of small bits that I'd passed onto friends but I don't see the problem when they are this young. It is more sustainable and he honestly won't have a clue what is going on.
We have of course bought my daughter some presents, but this is the first year she really gets Christmas.

We aren't broke, and is say we're pretty comfortable all things considered, but I'm on maternity leave, my husband has recently started a new job on a training wage, and so things are tighter than usual. I've also asked family to wrap up some of my daughter's old presents (so she sees her brother getting a gift as well) but give some money to go in his ISA instead for this year, as we can't afford to put money aside for their savings right now. Of course if they'd prefer to buy a gift then that is lovely, but this feels like a more sensible option, and family have been fine with the suggestion.
It will probably be something the poor child takes to therapy in the future: her first memory is realising her mum couldn’t be bothered with her.she keeps saying that Grey won’t remember, just because you are bleeping stupid doesn’t mean your kid is too.
Do we think that she put the tree up early cos she knew she could get some festive content for this event she’s going to tonight? If that is the case that’s really bleeping sad… and was obviously nothing to do with having a magical Christmas with her kids and letting the ‘no tree before my birthday’ rule go for them
I just think about how this is all just publicly out there. Not just Lily’s obvious favoring of Rudy, but now this “only hand me downs” Christmas. At least normal kids grow up and go to therapy, but only have their memories or feelings to rely on during recounting. Rudy and Grey’s potential traumas are all here on display forever and ever. They can be reminded of how their mother was stingy and dumb enough to think she’s outsmarting her own kids at ChristmasThe problem with Lily not getting Rudy any proper gifts for Christmas is that over the years she’s gotten Grey plenty of higher ticket items / nice Christmas gifts. In 2020 she got her an ikea kitchen (even though if I remember correctly grey already had a kitchen before that).
She’s playing into the stereotype that parents aren’t as ‘bothered’ about their second child and it’s unfair to Rudy to only be given Greys old toys and not things of his own. If you ask many younger siblings who are now grown up you’ll find many of them say that as a kid they always just got hand me downs and that they hated it.
he’s not a new born baby like he was last year, plenty of one year olds have things they enjoy and I’m sure there’s toys which Rudy would like that they don’t own if lily just put a bit of thought into it.
I lost my mum to cancer when I was a child. Unfortunately now that I’m in my late thirties I don’t have many memories. The memories I do have are my mum singing to me. So don’t you ever stopI have sung to both of my children every single day since they were born, I can't imagine not doing it, it's the most natural thing to do! She's a very strange woman.
