She really is such a horrid mother/ step mother.
showing videos of her kids pissed/vaping etc. whether or not it’s legal at their respective ages, just showing them up like this is really crappy.

I know we all know that and this is nothing new, but every time she does it, it astounds me how pathetic, sad and twisted she really is.

What's wrong with living in a rental flat? It's not easy getting a mortgage these days and not everyone is able to buy a house by scamming people!
This is not representative of what it’s like to have teens. I have children the same ages as these two (one a few months older than T and one about 6 months younger than Isaac) and neither have ever vaped or been drunk. They understand the dangers of vaping because we’ve discussed it and they think it’s gross. Both have tried alcohol, mostly at home with me, but neither like the taste or enjoy the sensation. My youngest went on a football trip without me (most other parents were there) and vast majority of the boys were getting drunk and I had said he could have a couple of drinks if he wanted to but he wasn’t interested and actually said the drunken behaviour of some of the boys annoyed him as he was tired from football tournaments during the day and just wanted to sleep.

WHY does she keep showing it? This is out there now for future employers of Lula and Isaac to find in the future. Is she proud of her kids vaping and underage drinking?

How can she show Lula going out alone to another town, getting drunk and able to get a taxi home by herself when this time last year she was ranting about how she was being banned from prom because her school refusal due to her terrible anxiety and autism? And said that she was going to apply for PIP for Lula because she couldn't manage work and college? She's been working all weekend at a VERY busy air show and back to her boarding college tomorrow. I reckon she's ok without the PIP. :rolleyes: Isaac is in the middle of his GCSEs. He absolutely deserves a bit of down-time, it is very stressful, but he's been out on the piss (at 15/16) in a city an hour away and working until 11pm. Could she value his education any less?

All those stories she uploaded this morning have disappeared! Methinks the kids saw them and kicked off. Good for them.

Having a permanent camera filming in the kitchen makes me massively uncomfortable!

Who even has a camera set up in the kitchen? Only someone who's intent on monetising her ducked up family life, and wants to catch whatever is going on when she's not there.

The thought of being a teenager and being filmed in my own home is actually quite horrifying. It's one thing when Ratshit is there with her phone in her hand, but just having a camera there recording everything all the time is another level.

Mr donut wanted to put one in our lounge when our puppy was young. One day I lasted, and I told him where to stick the camera. It just feels weird recording inside the house. Can't even fart in privacy 🤣

I bought a Furbo so I can see my dog when I’m at work but i switch camera off as soon as I get home and it’s only in the lounge (and my teens are aware of where it is and when it’s on so can avoid if they want). It does feel weird but I also like to see the dog when I’m at work 😂

I bet your dog camera isn't at human height in the kitchen though! I'm sure she's previously shown camera footage from the hallway area too. Showing something funny that happened on your Ring doorbell is a bit different to all this footage from inside their home. In Rachael's words, it's quite "unsafe" having all this covert filming. It's like The Truman Show.

We have cameras for our pooch when we aren't in.

It's the non privacy in every aspect of their lives that blows my mind. With her phone they know it's happening and they may well know the cameras are in the house, it's the sharing of said footage in a public domain. Have any of these kids signed consent forms to have their lives published? Highly doubt it. They can't even be in their own home, privately, without it being shared. That's the disturbing part, nothing is private, it's all for content and financial gain. Leave them the duck alone R, you already share enough, let them have some bloody privacy. If you have the cameras for whatever reason, use them for that, not to be like the truman show.

Yeah, absolutely. My younger son will occasionally come into view on the Furbo as it faces the sofa a lot of the time and I get sent videos that he’s in. The very last thing I would ever do is share those videos online, even with his “permission” (he’s 15 so wouldn’t be informed consent necessarily anyway), and all he’s doing is sitting down watching TV and playing with the dog.

She’s desperately trying to find a new USP, because everyone is leaving her, by making out she’s a hard working mum of teens, struggling with the normal things mums of teens struggle with.

Except like everything else, she’s so far off the mark. Most teens nowadays are sensible hard workers, who don’t go out and get pissed every night, and don’t go near vapes, let alone drugs.

I don’t have much experience of “normal” teens but feel like T’s behaviour is much more typical of a 17 year old who isn’t struggling with autism and a recent school refuser…? My son school refused through years 10 and 11 and is still at home now. He has an EHCP now but I’ve still spent 8 months convincing the council to pay for him to attend online college (unsuccessfully thus far) and so he’s just at home all the time. He’s certainly not able to work or socialise, and he’s not even diagnosed with autism, “just” anxiety.

Feels unlikely that T would go from similar starting point to my son (apparently) last year to this…

She’s just a typical loudmouth mum that bullies diagnoses out of professionals, she just shouts the loudest. Lula is obviously high functioning but her “part time mum” has made it her whole personality. It’s crappy because it’s like saying her daughter is the best autistic child there is because she can work and go to college, but then she also uses it to excuse diabolical behaviour.

She seems like a thoroughly nasty person and I expect the school teachers are terrified of her seeing as she doesn’t hold back on updating anyone who listens to her moans. Has she ever worked?

Absolutely. Although (especially as?) they paid for it, Wilbert's "level 3" diagnosis does not reflect the articulate, clever little boy we see now. I know you can be autistic and be intelligent and speak well, but he was never as severe as she made out, was he? Even when he was smaller. Lula may well be on the spectrum and have her struggles. But her mum has certainly taught her how to use it to her advantage. Non uniform school jumper? "If they tell me off, I'll just have a meltdown" IIRC.

So your 17 year old daughter is out drinking and you’re cutting off / missing her calls?!
My eldest is 21 and works shift, if he has to be out over night or before I’m going to wake in thr morning my phone is on loud for him to call if he needs me. If either of my kids are out at a sleepover (even at my parents) my phone is on loud. I do not understand these “parents” that can just soundly sleep not knowing if their kids are safe! If I woke to that many missed calls I would die
Why does she think ignoring calls from her underage, autistic, anxious, drunk daughter is such a flex? All she's doing is showing herself up for the useless sack of tit as a parent that she is.

She's a crappy parent. She drones on (and on, and on, and on) about how terrible her teenage years were, how she didn't have any adults around looking out for her etc., and yet she doesn't give a shiny tit about her birthed or stolen children. How did she know Lula wasn't desperate to get hold of her because she'd lost her friends and ended up in the middle of nowhere by herself? Or had her bag stolen? Or her and her mates had got into a fight with another group and all been beaten up? There's a million and one scenarios that could have the reason Lula was trying to call.
