PTWM #29 Show off Betsy, aggravate Josh. ADs are constant, they’ve run out of dosh

[Dance1983]

Why does she hero worship Betsy to the point she’s become disgustingly arrogant but then mock Lula about having no friends?!? She never picks Betsy up on her vile comments and attitude - she actively encourages it by laughing and snorting like a pig as if she’s the funniest thing ever.
Lula apparently has anxiety and she constantly reminded about having no friends - great parenting there!

With Rachelieo - I always think there’s a hidden purpose behind all her posts. She’s clearly trying to see Betsy up with a shein collab or get spotted by a modelling agency

 

[You can't hide now]

Totally agree with both of these points. Have no issue at all with the photo but posting it out on your social media to thousands of people in a public domain - she is still just a child for gods sake.
Post pics all day long but when you can’t verify who your followers are - makes me uneasy anyway.

The video with T last night made me feel really uncomfortable. Imagine being that age and no matter how much you say you don’t care about having friends - your mother films every single bit of your family life. Not going to make it easier is it.

But at least she got some free flash products because she’s always cleaning.....oh. Wait.

I don't buy for a second that she doesn't care about not having friends. She may say she doesn't, because it's easier than the alternative, but I don't know any 11 year old that would be ok with feeling isolated and left out of friendship groups in school.

I think it's also really naive of Rachaeaeaele, if it's true of course, to say that Tallulah is more than happy going to a secondary school where she doesn't know anyone and that if she doesn't make friends it's ok because she's got her chickens, dogs and family. High school is the loneliest place in the world without a friendship group and it's ridiculous to think otherwise.

Poor T. I dont really have friends, my best friend lives 4 hours away and even when she comes to visit she doesnt always have 'time to visit me'. I spend most of my time with my mum (lockdown ruining this) and as much as I say that I dont care that I dont have friends it actually really gets me down. And I'm an adult!

Ultimately - you can’t take your chickens and
Dogs to school with you!

Why does this feel like she’s pimping out her child? Yeah, she looks good, but she’s 15, she’s still a child. Even if B asked to be shared with that many people, it’s the parent’s responsibility to say actually no, not a good idea.

Wonder if the next YouTube video will be a Shein haul?

Still waiting for the last you tube video with the homemade box tv thing

I think it’s because Betsy has always reminded Rachel of herself, the confident, popular kid, therefore she can do no wrong, she is hilarious, her attitude is amazing and should be celebrated, and she can get away with murder. Scrolling back through her posts last week, all the way back to 2013, it was always the same story. B at 8 was still giving it attitude and sass and R was there giggling away at her golden child, rather than nipping the attitude in the bud.

Rachel seems really emotionally stunted and because she doesn’t identify with Tallulah (despite saying she has anxiety herself ), she just takes the piss and has zero empathy. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Tallulah might be putting a front on and actually is heartbroken at the thought of having no friends, and terrified at the prospect of starting a brand new school in September, after six months at home, without a familiar face for comfort. No, Rachel decides now is the ideal time to take the piss. It would be bad enough if it was a sibling but it’s her mother

Tallulah has a real case of middle child syndrome. She’s not cool enough (aka Betsy) for attention in that regard, and doesn’t have the cheeky/cutesy attitude of Edie so is just left to her own devices. She only gets attention when Betsy is putting her down, or she’s fawning over the younger ones. Rarely in her own right. I think she is the most damaged of them all, in a quiet way so it goes under the radar as such. Mark my words, she will be the one with the genuinely sad issues in the future.

I agree. Being on a beach or in your own garden is different. Posting it to your own private page is different.
Posting it to 200 thousand strangers for anyone to screenshot and pass around and not knowing who half of these people are is dangerous. Not everyone has good intentions unfortunately. God knows where that photo could end up. I find any picture like that or young children in the bath etc really uncomfortable on public accounts

I agree. It's more than just 200 thousand strangers. Her account is open for anyone to access at anytime. Sadly, some vile person will get a kick out of this picture alone (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about )
I can't believe she has not thought it through. You'd think Josh would know better and suggest taking it down.

Did she actually just put mild pornography of her child on the internet? LOL. She's more stupid than I thought which is impressive. It's kids like Rachel's who pay my wages when they come in desperately needing therapy because their mum was a twit.

It’s not even her status and yet somehow she’s the hero... it’s all about your rachaelleo... you’re the real hero of this story

More importantly, she can afford to have a full-time PA on her payroll? Mind Blown- what on earth does this person DO all day?!!! 🧑‍ PTWM is bleeping raking it in.

I hope she isn’t telling Betsey she could be a fashion influencer. Not without something to back her up. The competition is massively fierce. There are gorgeous girls with marketing and fashion degrees. Only a very few make it into an actual job, but they blog, write for magazines, do takeovers of bigger accounts etc. It’s not easy at all. I think people look at love islanders and think it’s really simple, but even that era is ending now. Basically you can’t be famous just for being you anymore. You have to have something to offer. She needs to maximise her education before anything else.

Oh and the Supermodel comment. Rach knows her audience, she suggests a word and the follow her blindly. Cue “Oh she is gawjuss’ screenshots

Oh my god. The cringe.
Poor Anna, the long line of word assaults on others statuses continues , plus she is full of it. She’s helped no one but herself

 

[Doeli70]

She looks like a normal teenager not a supermodel.

 

[Mum23bums]

Omfg she has no idea let's post a photo which can be shared all over the Internet for who ever, her husband is a ex police officer

 

[caitlinbullen]

I was just about to say that!!

Bet she has been itching to show off that she has a PA (who wouldn’t!), but has the bare minimum of common sense to know that her followers would start to ask some very awkward questions.

It makes it even more interesting to think what the income and expenditure looks like on her ‘charity’ work versus her personal business account. Oh I bet her elusive accountant has been very clever with that! Is the PA paid from the adverts money?! She still has never published any financial accounting for the thousands of pounds of Pay Pay money and other ad-hoc donations eh? (a 2-side wordy newsletter with absolutely no financial data doesn’t count, sorry honey).

If there’s one thing our Rach has learnt growing up, it’s to take care of herself first, because no one else gives a about you in the end. Why do you think Josh is only contributing towards a couple of trivial bills? Everything important will be in her name so that if he considers leaving her she won’t have to change much. You can bet your bottom dollar he ain’t mentioned on her rental agreement or mortgage. She has been brought up in the school of hard knocks that one!

Half of me admires her audacity and determination to feather her own nest, and the other half sleeps well at night knowing I am funding my family through 100% honest means.

Shes just an average 15 year old show off. She totally exploits her children.

Wow. I took a few days off and it’s taken me longer than I could possibly have imagined to catch up!
