One Day of Winter

[TheLastLolo]

Maybe that's the plan. Stretch them for miles so even when raven is at her grandma's or something, she can take the nip with her...

Why does she insist on filming dean when she’s said he doesn’t like it? She always moves the camera off him as soon as he looks as though he’s gonna look at her so she must know it makes him uncomfortable.

Yeah I feel really sorry for Dean. He works in All Saints, seems like a cool guy surrounded by no doubt cool, hip folk and probably feels a bit embarrassed that his once gorgeous, cool girlfriend has turned into this boring middle aged frump who belittles him online.

Those poor cats. She should be ashamed of herself.

She's a nut job too. I remember a couple of years ago, someone on Instagram had a baby and called it "Winter *middle name* Wolfe" (surname actually Wolfe I believe) and used the hashtag #winterwolfe.

Pee went NUTS and made the poor new mother's life an absolute misery. The girl had NO idea there was another Winter Wolfe, she'd just had a baby and had never heard of her. Pee made it ALL about her, how terrible this other person was, etc. It was really nasty and cruel. Since then, I've known what a nasty person she is.

This is a daft argument. Everyone knows that people eat with their hands in other cultures, but it’s considered kind of uncouth in ours. It was a totally unnecessary thread derail IMO.

 

[TheLastLolo]

Why doesn't she just say, 'no Ray, mummies busy - you play with daddy'
Gets my goat

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY NO TO RAVEN!

 

[Cubalibra]

Perhaps put raven in her own room with some black out blinds

Don’t forget Raven has to ask for blackout blinds, you can’t force these things on children!!! They deserve to have a say

 

[BethanyGilbert]

The name just reminds me of this chap

The pregnancy announcement actually made me a bit sad.
Cooking away happily and healthily...i can't cook babies any more. It would be a minor miracle.
I actually think she's quite insensitive. Especially because alot of the people who follow her follow her because of sharing her experience of baby loss.
Obviously I wish her well. I just feel a bit kicked tbh

As much as she annoys me, I don’t think she meant it insensitively. She’s probably just over the moon that the baby is doing well and was happy to share that news.

That group is absolutely mental. Women being given black eyes by their children and toddlers smacking newborns but ‘how do I deal with this in a gentle way’. You fucking discipline them. You are enabling your child. Also, children hurting pets comes up frequently so yeah make of that what you will

Also - there is a little village children go to and find a community - it’s called a school

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Tbf.. pay for what life? They eat very cheap meals ( chickpeas,lentils) everything they own is second hand and they dont go anywhere? So bar their bills and mortgage they prob havent got a lot of outgoings.

Actually, you're probably right. Plus, with them all curled up together in that "sleep space" like hamsters in a Pets at Home tank, they probably don't even need to use their heating.

 

[DiscoBiscuit]

Jesus. She's banging on about how hard it is to arrange family life.

She has one kid and works about 10 hours a week. She's got it so easy compared to most.

 

[TruthTeller1036]

No wonder her nipples are the length of a ruler with the way Raven hangs off them. With the teeth on her she has probably stretched them out like a length of slime

 

[Tricia Doll]

'family sleep room'
This girl is a complete fruit loop.
So Raven will be clambering over Dean at 3am to get on a nip when Dove Hurricane or whatever it is called is on the other.

 

[justfortonight]

Well just an idea Nicola/Pea pour yourself a large glass of gin go and lock yourself in the bath for an hour and leave Dean with Raven. Problem solved.

See this is what amazes me about her. Between this and the dicking about at 2-in-the-bastard-morning - HOW does she stay calm? I’d be mainlining wine into my eye sockets and screaming into a pillow in despair.

Is gentle parenting just putting up with everything? Not moaning ever? It sounds dreadful, I don’t know how she does it.

 

[Homesweethomesweethome]

11pm, I'm in bed before that. If my daughter stayed up until 11pm she'd be like banshee the next day.
It's really unfair to Raven too, poor girl doesn't know what's what.
You'd think she'd know better with the job she does.
My mum had 2 full term stillborn girls and then a real struggle to get my brother. She did alot of work for sands.
She bought Nicolas book out of curiosity as its not very often the death of children is written about.
2 years ago I had an ectopic pregnancy, I was 10 weeks, had been fobbed off by the hospital and had to have emergency surgery.
Mum lent me the book, I messaged nicola to say thanks for writing the book and my situation and how much it had helped.
She said, that's a bummer...i went off her from then

What the hell? “That’s a bummer?” Just highlights this woman’s self importance, no loss will ever compare to hers in her eyes. She’s not out to support anybody, she’s a selfish cow.

I’m very sorry for your loss, ectopic pregnancies are terrifying and destructive and you are so brave. The loss of your baby and tube are so much more than just a “bummer”

 

[SilverSpoonNotIncluded]

I just find her gentle parenting ethos really at odds with her child being filmed and/or photographed every single day. I have unfollowed but literally, not a day practically has gone by since she was born that she hasn’t been shown. Oh I know it’s ‘only a few minutes a day’ but still, does Raven not deserve some privacy? And not to have a phone in her face while she plays?

 

[tippingpoint]

Ugh she’s annoying and I wish she wasn’t. “Basically I’m lazy parenting” eh no your kid was hungry and clearly fancied a bit of TV so you made her food and she ate it in front of the TV. That’s...life? That’s what normal people do?

 

[Cat_scratches]

I have a child, she's 3.5
My house is not ruined because she knows how to look after things and has boundaries...
But obviously that must make me a shit mum with an unhappy child

I mean look how unhappy my child is...

 

[FraggleRock]

It’s Raven Rain, isn’t it? Very try-hard bohemian. A bit like going by “Pea” when your parents called you Nicola

Bringing up her name reminds me of this Friends episode

The thing is, you can use a sling AND a buggy and you don’t have to make a point of preferring one over the other. There’s nothing about a buggy that is intrinsically bad, despite what the attachment gurus say. Buggies are great, especially for hanging shopping bags on And as much as I loved having my babies in a sling, there’s no way my back would have survived heaving them around on long walks, they were just too heavy after they turned 5-6 months.
