Ding ding ding the last one is 100% CORRECT 😂
Genuine question here. I don't follow this lady but gathered she doesn't have paid employment that means she has to leave the house - ie a normal job apart from being a mum. So surely having your kids home all day is harder than taking them to school? Or am I missing something? :LOL:

I think there's more to it - there seems to be a few things at play. Firstly, that she's a massive hypochondriac and keeps her kids at home if they so much as breathe funny. Secondly, she seems to have a weird parenting style that she sees as 'I give them a safe space to make their own life choices' but is more 'I cater to their every whim and they do whatever they want' which translates into "if they so much as mention they want to stay home, I let them". And thirdly, she's a very introverted homebody so I think she's totally ok with her kids blobbing in front of the tv because it's her behaviour they're copying, and if she's cool with that life then she can't really make her kids be more energetic than that. She loooooves a duvet day, so if her kids want that, they get it. Completely forgetting that there's a huge difference between adults and kids and their daily needs.

For most normal people that's true but for Maria....well she constantly bangs on about missing her kids when they aren't there. And also her kids are older and pretty much take care of themselves so it would actually be more effort to have to do lunches and take them to school. Much easier to throw them in front of the tv with their days worth of snacks and a blanket so she can game or lock herself in her room for her well deserved nap 😂

Edited to add that everything above poster mentioned is also true ...Maria's a funny one 😆

I agree! I noticed a few weeks ago Claudia Conaglen was hosting a joint giveaway and then entering under her toddler's accounts...
That is fucked. Also Claudia on there never shows how she draws the giveaways just the winner, which is often one of her friends or at least wannabe friend.

Why does hashtag Jess feel the need to share everything that went wrong at the wedding. Not everything’s perfect why can’t she just focus on the positives for once brings the whole mood down

I wondered that too.

Esp going on about her dress not fitting when it was her "mum" that made it? (Either her mum or family friend?).
Still can't get over the free wedding band haha

I personally can’t get over choosing a dress that is SO unflattering when you made such a big deal of it

Does anyone think it’s weird how Lou Morley was so big on her twins not having access to SM but they both have Instagram accounts now?
Do they!? Prob to carry on bullying the kids at school.

I know for a fact that Emma is a MASSIVE bully. One kid had to move schools cause of her

Jamie Kay! The kids clothing brand. Be prepared for Noopi quality to go downhill and customer service to be tit because that’s the pretence she’s set with her clothing brand 😬
whaaaat I had no idea Noopi was run by whoever runs JK. We use cloth anyway so irrelevant for me, butgood to know

THIS! She's going on about how she doesn't make her kids do anything and they don't do extra curricular activities because she's not going to force them. That's because of the example she sets!! Of course they don't want to move, because she doesn't either. My parents were much the same in the sense they didn't encourage me or sign me up for anything, and I desperately wish they had of because by the time I was in highschool and wanted to participate by my own choice, I was unfit and had no idea how to play and didn't have the confidence to participate in team sports where all the other kids were pros compared to me. I'm all for giving your kids freedom of choice, but of course kids are going to choose sitting on the couch if that's all they see and the only way they're taught to relax/have fun. To let children off school or out of sports at the first inkling of "I don't want to" is lazy parenting. Talk to them about why they don't want to, help them find solutions. Caring for your mental health isn't just about doing whatever you want, it's about pushing yourself and learning how to cope with symptoms. I say all of this as someone that's suffered severely from mental illness since I was young, I was in and out of school frequently, for months at a time, not sure if that gives me any credit, but I do understand what it's like to live with mental illness as an adult and a child, and what she's doing is just enabling herself and kids to be lazy, it is not healthy for their minds.

Not to mention Chloe was doing Girl Guides but now isn't because she wanted a break....how long of a break is she going to have Maria?? Extra curricular doesn't even have to be sport it can be chess or a reader's club, even art club. Anything to get them out socialising instead of being at home most of their life. She's trying to say that's just how they are but I'm sorry I don't believe that for a second because it's quite clear she made them that way. My guess is she couldn't be bothered getting off her ass to take them to these activities since she already struggles taking them to school.

Anyone follow holly may?
I used to but then she basically said something along the fact of if you are white she doesn’t want you following her and it irritated me 😂 I’ve also recently seen that she won’t accept white clients as she doesn’t feel safe? It just seems quite extreme
