Healthy childhood development is not her priority making sure the child stays dependent on her and in the long term doesnt do better than her are her priorities.What does she get off with this holier than thou attitude? The real reason she doesn't need to buy toys is because she has a small army of family members to entertain her child at the click of her fingers. Your child has no stability and no routine and certainly no stimulation. Breastfeeding alone is not enough to secure healthy development it takes so much more effort of which she lacks. Get to fuck Melanie you're an absolute drip. (I am mad this morning)
Has she ever thought that perhaps because her dad was on the breadline raising two children alone is the reason why they didn't have very much? If you can give your child the world you do so, you make sure they had better than you. She could buy secondhand from the charity shop or even make use of crafty things around the house like homemade playdough! Also a bit of fresh air would do them all the world of good.
Shes repeating the intergenerational trauma too, it starts with well it was good enough for me and not fixing your own problems as a parent.
