PTWM #220 Nursed the Thread to Death

[reCAPTCHA]

Ha ha ha, that last story has me howling. Josh journalling for his life in a kids tent at a festival for middle class wankers. Josh, mate, you sold your soul down the river years ago (and your mental health) when you decided to prioritise your sex life and easy money to shack up with the emotionally abusive infected fandango owner.

No sympathy here. Plenty of laughs tho.

I don't care how dusty your house is Rachel. However, promoting that your children's behaviour is normal is disgusting. Isaac is not an adult yet you seem perfectly happy with him admitting to taking drugs. It's not enough that they are open and honest with you. You're not teaching them right from wrong. Why are you allowing him to go to Reading knowing he took drugs? And asking random strangers on the internet to offer him a room? Where's the safeguarding? Plus saying they're really good boys! Clearly they're not from what you have already told us! Josh has mentally checked out of fathering seb and Isaac. Plus the way you were gazing at him so adoringly was nauseating.

As I have previously said, I work in Paediatrics of a sort (focussing on Speech and Language, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy etc}. We are already seeing referrals to OT for children (mainly primary age) that have no clue how to do the basics. Holding pencils, toileting, dressing and a tonne more reasons because they have never been shown these by parents. These aren't SEN children. Just sadly the children of lazy parenting.

Totally agree. I work in early years and children can’t play, can’t do anything for themselves, wander around aimlessly and cry if you try to set boundaries or routine.

Had a 1yo today empty a tray of blocks, to hold the tray and stare at it, swiping and pressing intermittently. Pretending to watch a screen. For a loooong time. There’s no hope.

Isn’t this just what parents teach their kids on a day-to-day basis? Other than oiling bowls

I still think they are failing him massively by going down this route. Oiling wooden bowls and climbing trees isn't gonna pay the bills when he's an adult. Maybe he's just going to be a scammy grifter just like his folks. Clearly no skill needed for that option.

I agree that was a really uncomfortable watch, and I’m also with J on this one. It sounds like a fucking safeguarding nightmare having all these underage kids who you don’t know anything about (parent or responsible adult contact, medical info ect ect sounds like they don’t even know their names half the time) in your house, without your knowledge and without supervision. No wonder Linda has given up!! This is another one on the long list of “things J should know better about given he has received police training” and they’re actually opening themselves up to a lot of hassle if (god forbid) anything happened or even if any allegations were made about stuff happening

Just seen this reply from R on her post (I'm actually surprised most opinions haven't been deleted)

Anyway, it's getting boring now. Just because she had a shit childhood doesn't mean she needs to parent her kids like she does

She needed a house where the parents didn't give a shit and looked the other way at illegal/unwise activities? I don't think she fucking did, did she? Because from the sound of it, that's exactly what she had and why she kept making bad decisions with no boundaries or advice from adults who were actually interested in being a parental figure to her.

She doesn't half talk absolute bollocks.

She always looks so pleased when Wilby melts down - almost smug.
If I were Wilby and saw her pulling that face it would enrage me to the point where I’d want to throw one of my brand new dinosaurs at her head.

Was it even a meltdown, or a birthday boy who has had lots of sugar and excitement and is now a bit overtired and overwhelmed? He stops crying and sees if she's still paying attention, I'm not 100% sure a child in an autistic meltdown can switch it on and off like that?

I actually find it really sad that she thinks it’s “normal” to have kids who vape, have underage sex, drink, don’t want to go to school etc.

I feel for her that this is the life she created and she told herself it’s normal. It’s really not.

 

[No_Angel]

He was never non verbal, they just couldn't be bothered. Until school taught him.

 

[DipsyDoodle]

It's fun to take the piss, but sadly Wilby seems to be a smart boy who could probably do really well with the correct support and encouragement. Unfortunately he won't get either from those useless cunts he was lumbered with for parents, instead he'll be farting around climbing trees, making sandwiches and oiling wooden bowls until he finishes school with no qualifications.

 

[DipsyDoodle]

What a sad little life when you can’t even enjoy a concert without turning the camera on yourself instead of living in the moment. Cringe.

It's also such an ick that she's trying to pretend it's a cute, candid little video, when we all know she's holding the phone herself what a pair of bellends

 

[chickhicks86]

He started talking as soon as he went to the "childminder" - before nursery. Basically any caregiver apart from his own parents helped him develop and learn.

 

[DipsyDoodle]

Ugh piss off. It’s not a food bank or women’s centre, it’s a vanity project that is funded by strangers online (and the people who are paying her £4 for 12 items of donated food).

If they are full of uniforms, they clearly aren’t getting referrals as cost of living crisis is affecting so many families and they are crying out for uniforms etc.

If you're not local but want to donate school uniform, how about donating it to an organisation that is local FFS? I'd much rather stuff was going to people in my community than off to an Instascammer who's absolutely rolling in cash and could afford to kit out an entire school in Nike and North Face and not even dent her bank account

 

[ForestFire]

No child in a true autistic meltdown can stop, check they’re still being filmed/getting the attention they want, then carry on.

They are failing W massively.

If she wants to see autistic meltdowns and how life with a true non verbal autistic child (not L and W level autistic ) looks like then I’d happily let her spend a day with me and my daughter.

She hasn’t a clue.

 

[drmortimer]

I’m not a believer, but if you were God and took a look at this family, wouldn’t you be thinking “Actually, I might give the dinosaurs another go”

 

[Wotsit]

Don’t most couples just have a sex life and it’s not discussed with anybody or am I doing things wrong?!

In my experiance the ones constantly talking about it, are the ones either not having it or its really shit.

I have a work colleague that used to talk about it all the time and give out way to much info. After she had too many shandy's at the xmas do one year, it turned out it was all a load of crap and shes never even reached the 'magic moment' after 20 years with the same man.

I feel it's the same for rach. We've all seen slosh, afterall so its understandable.....

 

[Smell_my_cheese]

I felt uncomfortable watching that (carried on though didn’t I 🫣) it feels really grim watching a family fall apart in real time. I’ve been following PTWM and this thread for many years now and people used to talk about the inevitable downfall… looks like it’s happening.

I do feel so sad for all the children though. Interesting that Betsy is emotional because she finally feels settled - does that mean she never felt particularly safe at home?

 

[No_Angel]

Woah! Anyone who didn’t know B is loving life on the other side of the world could think she’s dead with this !

How amazingly happy does she look!! Hope she keeps enjoying her fantastic life! I really love this for her. She showed how much she had matured in Sri Lanka.

On the flip side, we have R and J. One showing everyone her shit and the other hating his life.

Enjoy your little life R and J.

*Did* she have a shit childhood though? Or did she just not get her own way and that's why she treats her kids the way she does. We've seen plenty of accounts over the years from people who grew up with her saying she was a bully and her childhood was nothing like she portrays (book burner step sister), and we all know about the infamous smashing up the phonebox when she didn't get the trainers she demanded incident.
