I just watched again to make sure I wasn’t commenting unfairly or being irrational.
Maybe I’ve misheard it but when Josh is telling Edie to consider whether she really needs something before asking for it just to fit in with her friends, I’m sure she said “I’m not listening to YOU” then struts out of the room grinning because she knows her Mum is there to back her up and says Daddy should move out.
My brother is a Step-parent and NEVER would his three stepchild speak to him this way, nor would my sister in law allow the children to do so. She certainly would not try to encourage the children to purposely disrespect him, get involved in arguments and take sides. If they spoke to him the way Edie and the others speak to Josh, she’d say something immediately not stand and laugh, record it and caption it that the child has won!
This may sound awful of me but my best friends Dad used to do this to her Mum. He would argue with her, involve the children, call the wife names and get them to join in while he stood and laughed.
Eventually when they split up, he had turned the children against their own Mum by twisting it to say “remember when Mum did xxxxxxx” and all the children recalled was them “defending” their Dad. He ended up with my best friend and siblings living with him whilst the Mum missed out on years of their lives as they didn’t wisen up until many years later.
I feel like I’m watching history repeat itself as PTWM already creates little teams of “us against him” and it’s uncomfortable viewing.
As for “I’ve done this for four days by myself” maybe so PTWM, but you nagged for another child. Josh is our earning a tax paid job, he’s paying his way to raise not only his children, but yours too. He works all hours then comes home to spoon feed you (going off comments I’ve read here) and from what I’ve read, you’ve not nailed it that well alone if you didn’t even manage to do a food shop?
Please also consider that if you are going to try and influence people with your ads, you don’t make yourself look stupid.
You do an advert for swapping to healthier choices yet call yourself a tit Mum for giving your child a healthy strawberry and yoghurt breakfast?
You tell the children you’re switching to eco nappies yet buy a bulk load of pampers.
Now you do an advert for swimming which is a shining example as to why your followers have been given access to watch your child learning to swim? It’s all games and brainwashing, please stop.
Nothing in your life seems to be sacred anymore. Even your children are so used to be in front of the camera that they seem to play up to it, let them have a childhood without the world seeing it, they’re your children not ours! We don’t need to see them swimming or be told off etc.
Furthermore, as for your “reality of family life.”
No PTWM. It isn’t. That’s YOUR reality and it isn’t normal. Stop and think about your behaviour and the way you speak to people. Show your husband the same love and kindness as you say you show your warriors.He lives with you and has given you a home, a family, security, love you craved for a long time, don’t throw it away by belittling him at every given opportunity or shoving a camera at him when he tries to teach your children how to be humble and shape them into good humans.
To end my rant. I can’t help but feel PTWM focused on the people dressed head to toe in green costumes in her crowd scanning stories so people would rinse them. Just as no doubt she was sniggering under her breath. Educate yourself in Betsys passions Rach, then you’ll understand the meaning behind Josh trying to educate you and the other children today. If you can support Betsy, do the same for Josh, if you open your ears and pop your phone down, you’ll realise they’re supporting the same cause.
I’m sure he doesn’t belittle your passion for saving the world. Don’t do it to him.
. I bet R is expecting the paparazzi at the door any moment for her famous daughter
