Kids are flexible...they are quick to learn boundaries (they need clear ones) in different settings. Edie ain’t daft, and she knows that in school she is rewarded for good behaviour, learning etc. At Rachel’s house she’s rewarded for being a cheeky, rude, brat, and there will be another set of behaviours that are acceptable/rewarded at her Dad’s. Very sad for her that she is learning at a very tender age that she is required to be so different in all these places. I mean we all have slightly different rules and expectations for our kids in different settings, but as usual, Rachel is on another level.

That was awful to watch. The way Edie spoke to Josh who to be fair was very calm and measured, and then R just snorting, watching and encouraging the behaviour. E definitely grinned and played up more when she saw R filming. I would never have let my son speak to his stepdad like that, and my husband wouldn't have taken it, if id been filming it too he'd have been well within his rights to tell me to duck off! Can't believe Josh just sat there, why didn't he tell her to sort her daughter out if so bloody funny
Ok so I’m going to add in about my personal experience. I am talking about a previous relationship, we have not been together for over a year now but he had kids:
My ex had a couple of kids and one of them a little girl who is a little older than E. She is a complete Jekyll and Hyde and her Mums compared to her Dads. She still does this now even when she’s not a small child anymore. At one house she is a well behaved polite child with a bit of an attitude at times which is normal. At the other house she is like a monster child, screaming tantrums damaging property etc and it’s all about attention. I don’t want to sound like I am being disrespectful, I’m not, I was involved in that’s kids life for most of their life but ultimately I was not the actual parent. It’s awful to watch and all of it is around her being desperate for attention. E does this too. Sometimes children want attention even if it’s for the wrong reasons.

‘Sometimes children want attention even if it’s for the wrong reasons’
Not sometimes. Children crave attention and will gain it any way they’re able to. The only way Edie gets that attention from Rachaele is to behave badly, so she continues to do it. If that behaviour was ignored she’d soon stop it, but it’s encouraged. And I’d be willing to bet when she is behaving nicely, providing no content for her mum, that’s what’s ignored.

Why. Just why, would you say that

Yes children demand attention in the form of either good behaviour or bad.
But with edie... she has learnt that of she behaves badly or is cheeky, its rewarded and seen as entertainment as rachel laughs at this behaviour in front of edie. That's not ok. Yes we all find our children funny sometimes when they are being cheeky..but teach them it isnt ok to behave like that, especially to another parent. Edie has no consequences for her actions...even when R threatens an iPad ban, edie knows that never happens.
Rachel needs to stop acting like her childrens mate and act like a parent with some authority.
Funny we never see the boys speaking like that even tho Josh, maybe because they’ve been brought up properly?
Yes I agree. I don’t think I really put my reply in the right words or elaborated enough.
I thought the same, thats such a grim thing to say to your children they dont need to know everything! There has to be some boundaries!J: “I’ve got magic lips ask mummy”

Will probs be an ad for surf boards and wet suits...Reeks of an ad to me!Way too wholesome, and all in matching swimwear
That the kids will never ever use as per
I feel sorry for Josh in situations like this, because he’s actually trying to parent properly. Won’t be long before he throws the towel in and thinks what’s the point!
I would be mortified if my child spoke to anyone like that! She wasn’t even picked up on it, let alone any consequences!
Gold star for Edie ay Rach
And that report goes to show, Edie behaves well in school because she’s a bright little girl who understands rules and consequences, and judging by that report is given lots of positive reinforcement while in school so doesn’t need to misbehave to get attention.
I truly hope that little girl is given a proper chance in life and encouraged because she’s obviously very bright and could go far if allowed.

‘Edie uses ambitious language to draw the reader in’

I thought ‘oh dear’ when J was sat at the table with his head in his hands then fast forward to the car where she was ready to film the ‘lips’ comment and he was smirking. Both fake and fame hungry.
