Sorry, who stores up bits of leftover porridge until you have enough to make porridge pancakes?

Why can’t you just eat pancake pancakes.

Why does she only cook normal meals for her and her husband??
Can't the kids have normal food too, some substance??

This woman grates on me so much. She’s everything I hate about school gate mums. She’s trying to be so perfect and organised and catering for her children’s every need. She’s doing them no favours as they grow up.

The meals she serves them are bizarre. Do they ever get a hot meal? It’s always picky crap on separation plates. Have they ever just said “f it” and got them a McDonald’s?
And what’s with all the organised fun? Have they ever done anything spontaneous? Or have they had a single weekend where they don’t have plans and just chill out at home or go to the park? Why is it so important to her that every hour of the day is planned and filled?
Have they ever had just a normal pancake? What’s with all the protein balls she feeds them? Never seen her chuck them a packet of fruit pastilles.
She is SO vanilla. I can’t stand her. If I was her husband I’d have left years ago. Waiting til them kids get to 13 and rebel!

And what’s with the weekend cereals? Why have they got to have baked oats everyday just give the kids bloody coco pops it really isn’t going to kill them. She will kill herself over stressing and worrying herself silly making sure there eating properly and always active more so than some bloody cereals

The weekend cereal thing reminds me of About a Boy when the mum is crying over a box of Ancient Grains and he’s asking for coco puffs and she tells him it’s not Sunday.

I am clearly a devil may care mum because mine gets what my husband makes her for breakfast (usually whatever she demands) and then _sometimes_ I make ACTUAL pancakes for breakfast at the weekend, and I let her have chocolate spread too. (Spoiler alert: sometimes she eats the chocolate spread and leaves the pancakes untouched. Little sod.)

I wish millennials would stop performance parenting for social media. Christ knows what we’re doing to our kids. Joe Wicks’ daughter makes “low carb granola” - she’s 5! Give them shreddies ffs.

It really is all for social media. See what brands she can get to reach out. I don’t think I’ve even seen them have toast or weetabix. My daughter would much rather a yogurt for breakfast or brioche roll 🙈 she doesn’t eat much in the mornings

I thought it was telling she was saying she’d hardly eaten all day too busy etc as a parent she’s not setting best example to kids around food. All this intuitive eating crap just eat 3 balanced meals and try and eat some meals as a family!

Do they not eat as a family? Her eldest is similar age to my eldest and it’s so important to have family meal times together. Gives everyone a chance to hear about each other’s days, and although I have a picky eater she shows a lot of willing if she can see we’ve all got the same thing as each other.

her Plate up Sunday dinner with me where she had a sad wrap from the air fryer gave me the ick when she emptied out that jar of salsa onto the wrap the way she did. Nothing says “I’m not around food very often” than shaking a jar of sauce out rather than using a spoon, she looked inept.

I don’t think i have ever taken any of my kids out to eat and/or the cinema in pyjamas.

And if we go out after school they wear what ever they have worn for school!

Again making her life so much harder than it needs to be. Just let the kids run out of school and get excited choose some sweets at the cinema, a few slices of pizza along with carrots cucumbers and tomatoes as an end of term Friday treat not really proper food is it. Clean socks and a onesie? like that would of been the last thing on my mind

Her videos of what she’s done every day with the kids during half term - basically everything is an AD/PR visit?! How is that relatable content when your entire holiday has been free. No one but other influencers can be relate because NEWS FLASH us normal folk have to pay our way! We’re lucky we can afford to take our kids on days out but I know lots of families who are struggling to even feed their kids or keep a roof over their heads. Not one of these influencers thinks it might be an idea to donate some of these experience opportunities or tit they’re sent no?

Also the fact they have 2 or sometimes 3 activities in a day, can those boys not just chill and watch a bit of scooby doo or something?

Exactly, kids need downtime too and those boys don’t seem to get any. I guess it’s all the more for content and she’d have to actually interact with them if they stayed home.

It annoyed me when she said she’s working and trying to look after the kids when her ‘work’ is paid for trips with them. Most of us have to take annual leave in school hols because it’s impossible to work and entertain the kids. So out of touch!

She calls herself a “gentle parent”. I’d call it stupid personally.

I bet the boys are a nightmare at school.

when they have free play they probably just sit there waiting for some one to organise an activity for them.

im all for my kids to be loud at home but not screaming or shouting for no reason.
