One Day of Winter #3 Queen Raven still ruling the roost.... even the Pea has reproduced.

Why has she automatically linked the crying to the car? She's a newborn, they cry a lot. It doesn't mean she hates the car, it means her crying has coincided with them being in the car. You work your way through the "what could be wrong with my baby?" checklist, the same as you would if you were at home or walking in the park.

I can't decide if she's genuinely struggling or if it's all attention seeking, but she really does make a mountain out of a mole hill.

I'm very glad she's decided to send Raven off to have some time with whoever for a bit. I think it will do them all some good not to be under each other's feet all the time. And it will be nice for whoever is doing the childcare to spend some time with Raven, coz like most families, I doubt they've seen much of each other recently.

Definitely attention seeking, she was always the one to play the ‘air head’ back in the day and this fits right in.

I agree. Attention seeking - if the crying was that bad, the last thing you'd want to do is start filming it. Why was she doing that? Weird. Also, in those stories in the car, again, Ember's head is not supported. It's just rolling around constantly.

I just can’t think of any time that I’ve thought omg my child is crying I need to video her. Clutching a straws being an ‘honest parent’ pretty sure filming your child distressed is quite far from the gentle parenting ideal.

My second born cried solidly until he was almost a year old.. yet looking back through old pictures and videos there’s barely a single one of him upset!! Just ridiculous to post it online!!

This will be of no surprise to anyone on here, but Raven and her demands of Pea are causing a massive strain in the house. From what I hear things are pretty much at breaking point! Exactly what you all say on here, things could MASSIVELY be solved if Pea actually parented R and put some boundaries in to place, but she won’t. Poor Ember is all I can say.

When i am so upset and distressed i would call my partner or mum. Instagram will not even come into my mind. Its sad that she feels so lone that she has to share her problems with strangers

I thought they were vegetarian? I can spot chicken...

And believe me, Raven has not “aced” the transition at all! Quite the opposite! So that’s a lie. I really feel like Raven should have been their last child. Which may sound awful, but Pea only really wants Raven - so why did she have another baby? What was she hoping for by doing that? Poor poor Ember.
People are trying to step in, she’s having non of it. Those around her are at their wits end with her.
