So do we think she had got new chums or has she found a new pink pencil to play with, and this is just a cover up??
No there are no friends. There was no big wild Saturday night out. There was no “craic” in the playground this morning. Rebecca probably went to Banchory Lodge with Grinning Kath or her Mother, had a glass of Prosecco and sent Rami a sext before going home and passing out.

BANTER.

It’ll be the P1 mums who don’t know her. That’s why she’s been having play dates to the park it’ll be so the kids can all meet each other before they started school

It must be killing her, socialising with people AND trying to hide her true colours…

Someone said yesterday that she hadn’t spoke about Poppy’s sleep in a while. So right on cue she speaks about it!

Saw this and immediately thought of beggy!
She would definitely do this! “Sorry Poppy, in the tray under the seat please”

I would imagine most kids at some point have sleeping issues, it just baffles me why she thinks it’s worthy putting on Insta. Unless of course she’s about to shill some crappy lavender spray that you douse your kid’s bed in and they’ll sleep for 12 hours 🙄.

Or she could be pissed off that this is eating into her limited tea-drinking arse-parking time

I said this on another thread recently, but fits here too. No amount of money would make me want to share those moments with strangers.

it is so invasive. Comforting your child, and getting your phone out to film it. 🤯

Sarah ‘This Mama Life ha ha’ does it too - if your kid is needing something from a parent at bedtime, why is the first thought to disrupt them by getting your phone out and taking pictures?!

Maybe you should show her some vids of you doing your laundry Mama Mooch, that’ll help her get to sleep 😴

So it’s nearly an hour since she posted about Poppy not going to sleep and she’s been trying to get her to settle for 1 hour 15 minutes, so she must have been in bed before 7pm. One of my daughters is a couple of weeks younger than Poppy and it’s very rarely she will go down at 7pm. She has children’s clubs a couple of nights a week that finish at 8pm.

That does seem early. All the kids and Lee are probably put to bed at 7 so she and Charles Dance can cosy up together. Bleugh

Why doesn’t she just sit in with Poppy until she drops off? I don’t get why it’s a drama. It’s not like she’s got anything else to do.

I don’t believe her atall. I think she just likes to make out she has a hard time with Poppy likes she has done since she was a baby.

I’ve always thought she puts her to bed too early. When I was working full time mine didn’t get picked up from the childminder till 6pm. They still needed dinner, homework etc.. it’s like even the 3/4 hours after school are too much parenting for her.

What does she do? Pick up at 3.. dinner at 4.. walk the dog and kids in bed by 6:30? Poppy is obviously not tired of over an hour later she’s not asleep. I’m guessing the other two are in bed reading leaving mama mooch alone.

She just can’t accept that Poppy has a personality and is just a different person compared to the other two. Poppy can’t be causing too much trouble if she’s got time to aff link S’s birthday presents while sitting with her.

I think she just likes pretending it’s a drama. I also
Doubt that they have a proper relaxing evening bedtime routine in that house.

Thanks for the reply Rebecca, nice to see you still pop on 👍👍
what’s this about??!

Because that doesn’t get the poor poor me Instagram engagement. She’s still praying something is wrong with her so she can make her comeback.. but after 2 years in nursery and now I’m school they haven’t picked up on anything Beggy is just clutching at straws now.

Some kids don’t sleep.. but if after 5 years P was as bad as she makes out they’d have paid for private medical testing by now. She’s clearly never had that “sleep study” or if she did there was nothing wrong with her.

Personally I think she puts her to bed too early and P just doesn’t like Beggy very much. She’s very clearly a daddy’s girl and probably just missing her dad putting her to bed and whatever routine Lee has with her at bedtime

I agree. I have a feeling Lee has some kind of routine with P but when he’s away she’s just shoved into bed by Rebecca when she’s had enough

It’s far too early and it’s one of my pet peeves kids being treated like babies., particularly a flipping bed time that’s when a lot of
People are still having dinner or coming home from clubs or minders. It’s like being stuck on that 0-3 age group and not being Able to let go of the schedule for herself . I get it’s hard admitting they aren’t babies anymore but you have to move with them.
