Her TikTok today moaning about how much daycare costs but on Instagram stories yesterday linking her cupboard she has in her kitchen for over $2000 . The Cartier bracelet and expensive holidays yet she can’t afford swim lessons for her kids - her priorities are all wrong.
Also something else that irritates me is evey other word she says is ‘like’. She’s so cringe and comes across fake and rude!

yes! Constantly with the”like”!! Infuriating.As is her voice constantly going up and down in all the wrong parts of the sentences.
i really don’t know what she’s bigging Up the uk so much atm and slamming USA. She hasn’t lived here for years as an adult and hasn’t brought kids up here. Visiting for a few weeks and then hearing stories from friends and family is totally different to actually living it!

Does anyone else feel like she massively and blatantly favours Sophie?
I know second children are often more challenging and she's trying to be funny but it just rubs me up the wrong way. Imagine him seeing it when he's older

look what you've done you guilted her into a trip minus Sophie (who is going to camp aka we are privileged enough to afford camp)
Her mum doesn't do childcare because she had raised her children, definitely not unusual these days but I do remember her last trip when people asked why doesn't your mum help, she was so rude and said her mum is busy with her business.
She is such a drama, was it not her mum who single handedly raised 3 children and kept a home yet she can't cope with 2 and full support including a husband, daycare and a cleaner.

Charlie can thank me later!

Is it really not unusual for grandparents to not want to help out with kids?! I have to physically remove my daughter from both my MIL and my own mother.

I'm only going by what I've seen on SM probably mostly tik tok to be honest but yes seems the Boomers (think that's right) don't have much of an interest in being a grandparent, I'm sure they don't mind a visit but no overnights or weekends etc. My MIL is like this she doesn't even call her own kids, they contact her.
Luckily I haven't experienced this my mum couldn't do enough for her grandkids.

The top she is wearing in recent insta post- £175. I earn a VERY good wage….I think…..I couldn’t afford that? She cannot claim to be struggling and then buy 20 swim suits and £175 top? So if Kyle is earning $100k and that’s not much then good luck to him when he gets here. £175 is just less than half a ticket to the UK. My brother lives in the states, if I fly klm which is a b and I hate it but they are cheap, then I can get a ticket for £400 in June! Make it make sense?

Also the way she's acting like it's a random splurge... like yeah its one super expensive top instead of a free people haul or anthropologie cabinet. All she does is spend loads of money.

Don’t get me wrong- spend all the money, but don’t say your struggling to spend £500 on a ticket to London and nursery for your kid but you can afford £175 on a top, 3 trips this summer, 25 swim suits that im not sure when she wears them and expensive gym memberships? It blows my mind

 

[Sophie92]

I’m wondering if a lot of the spending is Kyle trying to persuade her to stay. Bit odd to buy a massive piece of furniture for your kitchen and join a flashy gym the same week you’ve decided to leave. And they can’t be planning on moving back anytime soon if she’s still so desperate to come back in the summer that she’s happy to leave Kyle and Sophie for 2 weeks.

Oh absolutely, if I had it I'd spend it! But probably not until I'd paid for my kids swimming and activities.
The constant moaning about the cost of living is really grating. I'm on maternity leave with zero income and my partner earns (at most) half of what Kyle does. Even I don't complain I just don't buy new clothes right now

Yeah it's strange isn't it. The thing is she has openly said her kids are more important than her marriage and has made such a big deal about safety (I'm not saying she's wrong) that it'd be hard for her to backtrack. I really hope she does it.

I definitely feel she is bandwagon regarding her big gun law post, they probably have full intentions of leaving but it's more like a 2/3 year plan, the drama that she is was making it out at the time, she was going in a matter of weeks.
Re Daycare/nursery or whatever its called for Charlie, what is the need? He's literally a baby still having naps, he isn't at the age of socialising and is lucky he has a sibling to mirror. I understand Sophie going, it's kinda normal at that age, and helps transition to school. Daycare for a baby when you're a sahm/as and when employee. Suppose she needed the free time for shopping hauls 🥱

I’m sorry but if you are so concerned for your children’s safety living in the country you currently reside in then why the duck are actively trying for another whilst staying in said country?!

Not to mention how expensive it is to have a baby in America. Why not just wait and have one in the UK for free

Because while it costs them (insurance will pick up some/most of it - depends on the policy) the hospitals and the care is much better! Private room, nice meals, bed for the dad to stay……don’t get me wrong, she will say the UK is better because we have midwives coming out to the house, yeah that’s because they kick you out the hospital an hour after the baby is born whereas in America you stay normally 2/3 days.

Also the health visiting service is basically non existent now. I had one video call when I was pregnant and one home visit. My baby is now 11 months old.

Yeah they don’t do the weigh ins and stuff either!? I remember my mum going with my brother and I would go with her and it was in a big room and there were lots of people there, but like call the midwife. (I’m 40) when I did the weigh ins with my kid 7/8 years ago you just sat outside the midwife room and went in, there were a few mums waiting and we’d get chatting but it was pretty empty. Caroline has this cookie cutter thing in her head of the UK and how it’s like call the midwife and all these mums know each other and it’s a community and we all sit all day at the play park- it’s not! Childcare was so expensive and I only got 6 months mat leave then I basically worked to pay the childcare, which was my choice as I like working and my career is pretty important to me. As an only child my child enjoyed all the other kids too and I made friends through her nursery so that helped me massively. Some of the nursery nurses did some babysitting for me too so they really helped. Anyway I digress, I don’t think we have this community she thinks we have over here. I’d actually say that my brother in the states has a much more family orientated lifestyle. Going to the beach with a bunch of families, loads of family friendly restaurant, the library etc. but then he does have loads of friends and they all had kids at a similar age so maybe that’s why?!

The midwives come to weigh baby initially but once they're up to birth weight the HVs just let you know you can weigh your baby at the library.
She posted before that NCT classes were free she literally lives on another planet. I would also want to live in the UK if I was her because it is safer for children and obviously she'd be near her family and friends. Is that not enough of a reason?!

 

[Abce3456]

I’d say health Visitng services differ depending on area, my friend on the same health board as me has a 2.5, she’s saw her health visitor twice…my son is 14 months old and we’ve saw hours probably about 12-13 times since he was born, we both work the same job similar incomes and lifestyle.

 

[I see you you see me]

Her TikTok today with the ovulation test, she is so rude to the people in her comments! Also what is that stupid hand in the front of her mouth thing she does? She makes me cringe.

I had my second baby in the US, planned c-section. The whole pregnancy and afterwards was so less stressful than in the UK. Yes you pay but the insurance does cover a large portion of it. I stayed for two nights, you get your own room, bathroom, a sofa bed for dad & you have your own set nurse. We got a menu with what food you could order and you just called down to the kitchen with your order and they brought it to your room, the food was so good!

 

[Mochalatte]

No I would never film myself crying. I certainly wouldn’t think anyone else would cry over my kids? Some people really don’t understand that you can enjoy these moments or these little videos without doing it for likes? I’m not even that keen on my friends kids so I’m certainly not that interested or want to cry over Caroline’s kids? So weird

I see Caroline has dumped a load of Tik Toks in the last 24 hours. Caroline, in case you do ever return to the UK, FYI I was out having dinner and drinks in your mums town last night and not one single person was dressed like you.
