I’ve noticed this too. Typical narc.She's never talked once about how the kids are coping with Mr Meldrum away. Not a word. It's all about her.
I totally agree with your points about NICU.. everyone handles situations like that differently. Also regarding the above posters comment about normal births. I dont think she was referring to having a csection as not normal I think she was referring to the fact that she then didnt have to go to NICU afterwards and have that worry.I'm not a Meldrum defender by any means but I think it's going a bit far by critising her feelings from when Poppy was in the NICU. Just because it's not how you felt or think you'd feel, it doesn't make it wrong. She's very lucky that everything turned out fine but she will never be able to get the what ifs out of her head. Poppy wasn't kept in the NICU for no reason, it's not like Rebecca asked to have her there for content. She is allowed to still feel that pain and worry.
I've never once bought in to the stuff on here that she doesn't love her children or that she favours one over the other. Just because she doesn't mother the way you do, it doesn't make her a bad mother. Personally speaking, I feel she could definitely be a bit more safety conscious when it comes to Poppy eating alone or in the garden but all 3 girls come across as loving their mother, are clean, fed and thriving. She's daft, ignorant, lazy when it comes to her work and doesn't have a very good grip on the real world outside her villagggggge but I do not think she's a bad mother.
For Christmas I bought a second hand kids ikea kitchen. I swear by the time I prepped it, painted it, spray painted the taps handles etc, resurfaced the work top........it took me longer than the meldrums claim to have done their whole kitchenWhy does she call it a degreaser is she trying flog specific brand.
Everyone else calls it sugar soap.
Brought a toy kitchen to do up for my little girl.
Been watching you tube theres ikea toys kitchens that look amazing and taken longer than the meldrums entire kitchen.

IJust watched her latest insta stories talking about neonatal and I’m totally offended she called her first two births/labour normal!! its called a natural birth not normal! I had a csection with my first that is still normal! Just because I didn’t push my children out doesn’t make it abnormal!
Yeah the whole NICU experience is something I won’t judge her for... it genuinely doesn’t matter how long your baby spent there, it can still be a traumatising experience. My baby was small in utero like Poppy so we were induced at 37 weeks, he spent 2 weeks in NICU and I was diagnosed with PTSD afterwards because it affected me so much.I think there’s a lot you can judge her for but I actually understand her feelings about nicu. I was young when I had my first and completely alone. One of the midwives woke me up during the night to tell me my baby had been taken to nicu because she was having trouble breathing. Then she told me to get some sleep and she left. I sat there crying for about 4 hours until someone else came over and took me along to see her. I was terrified that she would be dead when I got there so was too scared to go. By the next day she was starting to get better and was only kept in for a week but it’s still traumatic for me to think about that night. I wish I’d gone to see her straight away and that’s something I’ll always feel guilty about
I know I felt that was really awful! It’s such a sensitive subject for people and for them to open up and then be ignored is horrible!People have been sharing all their personal experiences regarding NICU and she’s had so many messages, most people would say “I’ve had so many messages with people sharing their stories, bare with me and I will reply...” Rebecca’s reponse “I’ve had so many messages, I’m not going to read them all as there are so so many, but thanks for sharing anyway” is she really that much of an @rsehsole!!
I thought this, also thought it may be explains a lot about their relationship now. Poppy's clearly a daddy's girl, reb barely spends any time with her, maybe it has something to do with the fact she tried to keep her distance and avoided bonding with her!I also found what she said about Poppy being in neonatal quite upsetting. She didn’t want to bond with her... She didn’t want to use her name... she didn’t want to go down and visit her... Because she was scared. I get that. BUT what mother doesn’t put their newborn baby’s needs before all of that?! Poppy would have needed her mummy, the only person she’d ever known. Coming into the world and surrounded by machines must be scary and unsettling for a baby. They need their mummy. A strong primal need. It breaks my heart she even made that whole neonatal experience all about HER. Still wanging on about it now too to garner more sympathy. She really just gets more and more unlikeable.
