I wouldnā€™t ever take an unvaccinated puppy into Ride cafe, itā€™s a nice dog friendly friendly space, one reason why I wouldnā€™t eat there! But you canā€™t guarantee that unvaccinated dogs havenā€™t been in there. She canā€™t possible hold it all of the time, what does she do when it needs a pee? šŸ¤”itā€™s not worth the riskšŸ¶
Unpopular opinion but we took our puppy out A LOT when she wasnā€™t fully vaccinated šŸ™ˆ we donā€™t have a private garden so didnā€™t have a choice and would take her to cafes to socialise.... she is absolutely fine, you just have to be sensible. We would shout at other dog owners that she wasnā€™t vaccinated and carry her away šŸ˜‚

I don't mean to go off on a tangent
Clearly scotland is different and nursery is devolved.
Without any means testing or minimum hours worked it technically might mean the meldrums get more out than they put in.
It's a great scheme if parents want to go back to work, study or volunteer as being sahm can be lonely.
It gives Scottish parents more flexibility I choose sahm right now as childcare too expensive.
But it also means Scottish tax payers will the be subsidising her childcare costs when she does currently can afford 2 days private day nursery.
She won't do anything useful when poppy goes full time just walks and being a influencer.
Another helping hand after Aberdeen council helped them onto the the housing ladder with shared ownership for low income families.
Some people always fall on their feet.
Meldrums certainly do they had so many wasted opportunities and fecked them all up!
Maybe that's what she means by manifesting.
I really wanted to see less of poppy then the lovely snp gave me free nursery hours!

I don't think she is self sufficient, she has no blinds in her kitchen, her kids wear shoes she got for for free from a film she'd never seen, her last holidays have been ones that were free,they don't do anything with their children other than walk etc.

She'd really benefit from a part time job, she'd have adult interaction, earn some honest money, her mental health and self esteem would probably improve and she'd have some sort of financial and future security. Influencing isn't gonna last forever.

What's that expression make hay when the sun is shining.
Pat had 2.5 yurrs at home
Neither of them retrained/studied
Used extra income buy 2nd property or start up a viable business that was non influencer related.
Instead they spend all their savings.
Mortgage themselves up to their eyeballs
Now they can't afford holidays or curtains.
The no blinds in kitchen is odd and scary considering she's afraid of the dark and the talking deer that shout lees name.

And the thing is if they had a normal sized house and an affordable mortgage on Lees wage she could totally justify being at home and they'd have the house looking just as they'd want it to. They live in cloud cuckoo land.

Letā€™s be honest, they got lucky. Yes her folks have a bit of cash behind them, but it doesnā€™t sound like she was ever very career driven. No doubt, she started up her little YouTube thang as a hoppy and people lapped it up. People like watching people. Itā€™s human nature. Companies soon realised they could make them big money and got them on board. Theyā€™re the first generation of social media influencers and it must have been a whirlwind and they got a lot of free stuff.

Tbh I never took any notice back then and only really was into it when a friend Of mine said she enjoyed her content so I had a look. I questioned the dlp fiasco and was swiftly blocked. That opened my eyes.

Time went on, they got greedy, expected it to last forever and it hasnā€™t.

The ship has sailed. No amount of puppy, mental health or make up chat will ever get them back to where they were a couple of years ago.

As a parallel to the shallow, materialistic throwaway lifestyle they were flogging, they have written their own future by the choices they made dealing with their own lies and cock ups. Not to even open the can of worms with their own childrenā€™s privacy.

Yes, they still have a huge following, but if the big brands wonā€™t touch them, as lovely is it is to have a billion people ask ā€œu ok hunā€, ā€œgo slowā€, they are useless to the meldrum brand as they have nothing to influence them with.

Itā€™s pretty much done.

I donā€™t know about Scotland but in england funding was basically made available for non working families for the benefit of the child, not the mother from age 2.
There are lots and lots of social problems that end up causing the government lots of money as children get older so the idea was to tackle it while they are young.

I actually think poppy will benefit greatly by being around normal adults.

Does his moronic comment actually say the big girls wanted to have ā€œfun with usā€ too. Wtaf are they doing as parents. Itā€™s a flipping dog. Poppy is their child and one that even the older girls are being taught to see as an inconvenience.

They actually disgust me. The moment the dog is a priority over any of your kids is a worry. Seriously. Plus your lazy good for nothing wife has already said the dog has previously gone for coffee.
They actually are a pair of utter eejits. I despair. I actually despair. šŸ‘ you are showing yourselves to be a pair of utterly inhuman beings. Everything that comes with the downfall of the meldrums as a business is 100% your own stupid fault.
Please grow up - you make me rage

Has Poppy been replaced for Bertie? He is clearly the ā€œnew favouriteā€ and the girls have been bumped down the list.... do they even do any activities anymore?! But knowing Bec she canā€™t stick at anything (remember her book club? Or her eating a healthy breakfast every day? Even her cleaning routine! Or her weekly family photo?!) unless she gets it gifted (gym, nails...) she canā€™t stick at anything. She loves a fad! The novelty of the baby wore off when Poppy didnā€™t act like mummy dearest wanted, and the dog will be the same when she gets bored of him, he loses his cute appeal and sheā€™d fed up of picking his poop up.
Genuinely wish sheā€™d just get on with life and stop being a pretentious little princess.

Not sure what Scottish free nursery hours equivalent is.
It's free 15hours here term after 3rd birthday which I used split as 2.5 days.
I believe if both parents work certain amount hours you can get 30.
That would mean reb getting proper job.
Ten said poppy will go school nursery in sept but maybe she still pay privatly for 2 days and have 2 different settings over 4.5 days and hope nanny steps in on weekend.
They can now apply for 30 hours free, no stipulation on circumstances for 3 and 4 yr olds! Guarantee that poor child is in the 30 hours!! I have left mine in childcare even when Iā€™m off or Iā€™ve finished early but thatā€™s usually so I can catch up on all the mundane things like cleaning and shopping so that when they are home they have my full attention.

Betty and Fireflies, you have your very own trolls
I have never known someone to take their puppy everywhere they go - why canā€™t he be left at home to get his own wee routine there.
She will regret carry him about the place in a few months time when he ends up with separation anxiety
the dog will never get used to them leaving him if they take him everywhere! The poor thing will develop separation anxiety! Itā€™s part cocker and cockers are notoriously needy!

She needs to get herself to B&Q and get a cheap roller blind... or even get a job and some staff #discount

Even if the mother doesn't work?
That's bonkers? But meldrums never turn down a freebie.
My youngest is may born so have wait until sept 21 get funding when she's 3.5.
So might pay 2 mornings from this sept when she's 2.5 just make freinds and term time only.
Itā€™s to encourage mums to go back to work! šŸ™ˆ

This is exactly their problem. It was all salvageable but they did the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do when you make a mess of things. If I was their management, I would have told them that even if they didn't believe they were in the wrong (which obviously they didn't), pretend. Say they're sorry and apologise every which way, do videos on casual racism, volunteer with marginalised and vulnerable people and basically turn the ship around. As much as it would have pained them (moreso Reb) to do actual work, they could have saved their full time YT/influencer careers. She'd still be a not nice person but it might have saved her from all the pain of the 15 months.

She got greedy and stuck her head in the sand. She lives in an echo chamber and it's slowly killing her. Someone in that house and/or family need to wake the hell up before she/they really do some damage to those girls and their lives.

Can I ask what the dlp fiasco was ?
 
Okay Iā€™ve watched her latest video and please tell me Iā€™m not the only one who doesnā€™t think thatā€™s a realistic morning routine considering she has 3 kids who watches them while sheā€™s in the shower or doing her hair? I bath and wash my hair at night and get ready early in the morning before my son wakes up but Iā€™m sorry Iā€™m not getting up earlier than I need to put makeup on for a nursery run please tell me Iā€™m not the only one who takes extra sleep in the morning over makeup šŸ™ˆšŸ˜‚
