To be fair you’ve no idea if the Meldrum children are disadvantaged. All we have are a few comments and the missed school. The head could’ve said that she was doing well and the holidays were ok. In posts I’ve seen s seems quite serious and studious. She may well be doing set homework.1 final point
The whole insta mum/infleuncers thing wont go on forever.
Now you tube restricting comments on kids and less advertisers using you tube platform for ads.
Its why she loves insta so much
Thats where the money is.
They are taking no steps to protect children.
They deleted lolas page.
She hardly ever does muxh with her fb and blog these days apart from ads.
Its been said they they taking all the freebies they can get before it all ends.
Lees claims they investing their money in overpaying the mortgage.
As we saw in jan they incapable of not spending or keeping to a budget.
We have seen recently they hate buying the kids things
Ie private ski lessons are too expensive
They brought f a 2nd hand bike and s bike looks a bit small.
I have shown from linked blog last night and we seen for ourselves from you tube and insta they just dont value education.
Its also very clear despite reb going to ubi herself shes not the brightest spark in tbe box.
Neither of them can spell
They both say stupid things
They have weird priorities
They say they love travel and culture but seldom expose themselves to it.
They contradict themselves all the time
They make out they affluent and financially sensible and savy i have my doubts.
If shes as anti social at school playground as playgroup it's doubtful she has many freinds at school.
They lead such insular lives even more so now they moved.
They really dont go far or seem very involved in their local community.
They have spare time but you don't see them volunteering .
Being passionate about fundraising for local charities.
Not sure whats happening lees golf thing.
Lee says he has regrets about education and i always wonder why he doesnt aspire better for his kids?
Obviously rebs had a more charmed and affluent upbringing than lee.
I cant fault lee he does spend lots time with them and enjoys spending time hes not running away from them.
Be is knob for over sharing
For being loud and embarrassing
Rebs at several times been very bgative and dismissive of school. Teachers and other kids in s class dident she moan on social media about 1 boy breaching schools social media policy..
Both hum drums think nothing of invading other kids and locals privacy.
As a parent in thier child's year this woukd make me cautious about having anything fo do with them.
This may make it harder for s socially as shes quite shy and lacks confidence.
She probably thinks brexits a biscuit.
Nobe if us know what will happen to the economy.
Shes in a very insecure industry and lee doesnt work.
All their eggs are in 1 basket.
We have no idea how affluent parents are as maybe a lot if their wealth is tied up in property.
If the economy takes a downturn
They overpaid for current house
They try to sell the murder mansion at a loss or worse negative equity.
Im puzzled why they don't retrain as further adult education can be costly.
Or invest in rental property
I don't feel like they future proof
I think they will struggle when the bubble bursts.
They have already booked 2 abroad holidays which probably mean 3 to 4 weeks out of school for s.
I don't know what they value.
They so shallow and materialistic
They waste so much money
I grew up working class family
Single parent
I went to uni
State comp
My husband
Working class family
State comp
No a leveks or uni but has well paid job 50k a year.
We have 4 kids
We not wealthy by all means
We just brought a house in our late 30/40s
We rented before
We will have to revovate over time and make so.
The kids have lots extra curricular activities sports instruments ect that cost money
We have used private tuition and speech therapy.
We drive a used boring family sized car
We can't afford go abroad as family this year.
We only had 1 family holiday abroad once.
Not sure if we manage a few days in devon.
We buy 2nd hand clothes
Shop at cheaper shops and discount supermarkets
The 1 thing we agreed on is education and hobbies is most important as it sets them ip for life.
I know many families some from other cultures who really value uk education as its a way out.
It enables our children to hopefully get a good career.
Earn good money
And hopefully be self sufficient in adult parents in the future.
I have freinds who sacrifice a lot to get their kids into the best schools.
Eldest recently went on ski trip with school.
It meant paying in installments
Eldest doing chores
Aldo ski event family brought some things as xmas presents.
Hiring jacket and trousers
She had a lovely time such an experience we couldent afford as family.
My kids are very appreciative of opportunities they have.
They know we value education and school and are always involved in homework.
Its sad the meldrum kids are at such a disadvantage.
When it all dries up and they behind
Will kids resent them
It’s more concerning that they over expose them and have chosen such an unsettled way of life at home and that they are constantly advertising different things. Companies that use children should have strict rules and money they’ve earned should be theirs (in trust or whatever) for their futures.
