This infuriates me more than anything, my third child is harder work than the first two, mainly because of autism, she doesn’t sleep, we have school refusal, I do daily physio with her, but that’s life. I didn’t choose to have a third, I had a surprise 13 years after my second child, but I wouldn’t change it now, and as a single parent I don’t have someone coming home picking up the pieces so I can swan off for a walk or soak in the bath, and I don’t refer to her as savage or feral, begs doesn’t appreciate how bloody easy she has it. I wouldn’t swap with her though, I love spending time with my kids, and my kids have their privacy which is priceless
Mrs Meldrum #108 She’s too lazy for a job, letters to the council prove she’s a snob!

I just wonder how much money she makes off her Instagram. Since twitter and YouTube don't seem to be in the go now. Surely can't be that much apart from all the silly ads.
She’ll be making enough through her little ‘swipe up’ links. More than enough to get the girls their ice creams...
Long time lurker but i have to get this off my chest. Her constant moaning about how tired she is and how hard it is when Lee is away. Can she just stop for one second and think about all of the single parents out there?! I've been a single parent for 6 months now, i work full time, have a 3 and a 5 year old and 2 dogs. It's flipping hard work but it is what it is, I wouldn't dream of monaing on social media about how hard my life is. There is always someone somewhere who is in a worse situation. But what i would give to have half the free time she does. As for her comments on her youngest... kids are kids! My little boy is 3 and he doesn't sleep nearly as well as his sister does, but that's life.
I wish she would look at the bigger picture and realise how good she has it!
Rant over

She hasn’t a clue how to cope. How would she deal with life if Lee worked in a Mon-Fri job and had to do overtime, weekends etc. Does she think partners who work come home and take over from 5pm every day and weekends. We feel very lucky to have time during the week together when my partner is home from offshore and overall he is able to spend much more time with our little one than if he was based here all the time. Most parents don’t have 2.5 days without any children free to themselves and those that do would be able to run the house and have time to themselves I would think. She could have a really busy full life if she really was a stay at home Mum but she comes across as the sulky older sister/babysitter!
She is a disgrace. That’s what she is. I work full time however I feel for proper stay at home mums who devote their days to their kids and see her flouncing around. She harps on about being kind but doesn’t see triggers she causes for proper sahm mums who are struggling and beat themselves up for not having the spare time she does.
Saddest thing of all is this is the girls role model. What is her life?
Sitting under a blanket stroking a dog?
Avoiding all contact with her own children when possible (especially fitting in activities once they come HOME from school to avoid them further) shouting with glee at every opportunity to be rid of them
Slagging off her youngest child continually - shows no love
Treat her husband as a doormat expecting him to take over after weeks of 12 hour day shifts
Putting herself first over her kids - every time
To all the family of Rebecca who lurk on here. Don’t you think this behaviour is all a bit odd? No ambition. No drive.
Yet you do nothing. For her or her kids. You sit back and raise your head to fight the bad trolls making her life hell. Yet in front of you is the real reason and you do nothing.
This is one seriously screwed up family.

Totally agree 100%!
Agree a million percent.
the fact that Lee is on tattle reading all of this and still nothing changes just goes to prove how much of a doormat he is. Her behaviour is out there, on film, for all the world to see - yet he pretends nothing is wrong. We have all for years been pointing out the obvious on these threads which we all know lee reads - and also Karen Cannon and Lee’s mother Alison not to mention the various other family members/friends/school mums and acquaintances (hi guys, we can see youuuuu!) and yet none of them have it in them to sort it out. It’s an absolute disgrace. They can say whatever they want about tattle or “trolls” - but they cannot hide from the reality of what is going on within the Meldrum family.
Actually, I see a lot of myself in Rebecca, she reminds me of me maybe 30 years ago.
My husband had a very good job which enabled me to stay at home with our children. (I was employed as the company secretary in his business but basically I got paid for doing nothing except to sign a few forms a couple of times a year.).
I did all the things - shopping, spas, horse riding. skiing, several holidays a year (I was all about me time) - but I really didn't spend much quality time with the kids.
Like, I was there physically but as they grew older I didn't really pay attention to what they were doing. They came and they went and as long as they looked presentable and didn't embarrass us, I was happy.
Fast forward several years, my youngest child couldn't get far enough away from us. She has travelled the world but we don't get to see her as often as we would like. Her choice.
My oldest child (although educated) has never been able to hold down a job for any length of time. She has a difficult relationship with her own children and her own marriage (which we did not condone initially) seems to be rocky.
Sometimes I wonder if I am to blame for the way my oldest child has turned out but I shrug off the guilt . I'm far too self absorbed to provide any useful help at this stage. Anyway, she is an adult and responsible for her own actions.
Anyway, I must go. I'm off for a walk in the exclusive woods behind my house (while they are still there).

I’ve only one child but that doesn’t mean it’s any easier some days are easier than others but I do find it tough my sons delayed in some areas we don’t know why we’re waiting on blood tests for us to try and get a better picture so some days there’s more meltdowns than I care to count that last so long it’s exhausting then there’s the mealtime battles trying to get him to try new foods as he’s very restricted in his diet and has sensory issues with food plus my partner works long shifts so most of the housework and childcare is up to me (he chips in if he’s home early enough and on days off) but I would never call my child a savage never mind broadcasting it online! My sons at school now but I don’t spend my time drinking tea (sometimes I give myself an hour) most of the time I’m picking up shopping prescriptions housework washing etc then before I know it its home time then it’s dinner bath bed you just get on with it… but in all honesty I don’t think poppy has sleep issues she’s not burning off any energy so isn’t tired and I think Rebecca needs to physically tire poppy out take her for an actual walk etc proper dinner nice warm bath before bed maybe some supper depending on when they have dinner and be consistent with her bedtime
Maybe he is just like her. Thsts why nothing will change. He enjoys the attention and the money that being an 'influencer' comes with
Busted!Kaza, that you?
Geese I hope this is a joke. Otherwise what a twit
I think he can’t believe his luck, he still thinks he’s “punching” and he’s scared to rock the boat in case she leaves them
Of course it’s a joke!!!!
God. If he really thinks that then hell mend him.
Nice quoting there fellaJesus Mary & the wee donkey is she moaning about looking after her children for a few days AGAIN
I also think waking at night has become a habit for Poppy. Shes now got into the habit of waking every night and lazy ass Rebecca can’t be bothered to do anything or change her routine.
My youngest ( as Ive said previously) was a terrible sleeper. We did speak to a sleep specialist- it was quite a new “thing’ then (20 years ago) and he was really helpful and we cracked her sleeping in just a couple of weeks!
However we had to maintain a very strict routine- and not deviate at all for the first few weeks. It was hard work cos I was working nights, my husband was working long hours and often travelling but you know what we stuck to it and it worked. The reason Poppy doesn’t sleep is mostly due to her mother being a lazy assed incompetent witch!! Beggy would never consider changing HER routine or what SHE wants to do to benefit Poppy. She loves being able to moan about Poppy. Just more attention for the dumb ass witch.
