PTWM #76 Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey, braces are off but her teeth are wonky

[You can't hide now]

I actually felt awful for both B & T in that video. Betsy clearly frustrated at Lula expectations of help. Two sisters bickering, but instead of actually mediating R is encouraging Lula’s demands of Betsy to help and placing all expectation onto her 16 year olds shoulders and no one is listening to Betsy saying she’s tried and doesn’t understand. So, she’s 16, done a shift at work and gets ratty with her sister.

She clearly then gives in, tries to help while the actual parent sits there doing nothing and grows more and more frustrated so gets more pissed off with Lula.

It’s so obvious she can’t say what she wants to her mum so her sister takes the brunt of her annoyance. But most telling of all is the fact Lula seems to not even have bothered asking either of the adults in the house for help, but has gone to the one person the kids can all rely on, Betsy.

I really felt for Betsy too. Yes she got ratty but that's because she wasn't being heard. She kept explaining she'd looked at the homework and couldn't do it. That should have been the end of asking her. If nobody else is capable of helping then Rachaeaeaeele should send an email or note to the teacher and I'm sure they'd explain it to Tallulah again.

But nope. Out comes the phone. Everyone is made to feel like tit whilst Rachaeaeaele sits and snorts. Now she's got one kid pissed off and the other upset, but who cares if she's got something to post.

The fact that she allows B to call T a lazy (I assume witch was cut off), and said nothing shows how much R parents those girls. Allowing B to speak to T like that needed curbing, yea they might bicker but she doesn’t need to speak to her like muck on a shoe. She got frustrated as she explained she couldn’t do it, and was being told to go do it. I’d be cross too.

 

[DozyWebster]

poor T. I get why B didn’t want to help her out with her homework, after all it’s not her job help her. Rachel should be helping her not filming it... those stories are awful! why would you think it’s okay to put them up for thousands to see!?

 

[Chipwilliams]

Poor Lula, she doesn’t even have her dad to go to when being bullied by her mum. I bet her big sisters are so upset knowing she’s been treated like that. It’s made me so sad hearing her laugh so nasty at her and not even attempt to get off the sofa and help her

 

[Lisa1980]

I had a friend at uni who worked at Claire’s and the horror stories about piercing small children were unbelievable

I was going to take my daughter for her ear lobes pierced at Claire’s in the summer holidays, I definitely won’t now. It doesn’t sound good at all.

She has 200k people telling her she’s a great Mum. A Husband who is clearly reluctant for whatever reason to stand up for any of the children. Multiple ‘Instagram’ friends who appear to endorse her behaviour and those few old friends who also appear to think her attitude is fine.

Every single one of them, that cheers, claps and says nothing is responsible for what happens to those children. Nothing good will come if this long term. They should be ashamed

 

[MummaNoggins]

She is vile. Poor T. B is obviously fed up of being asked to help do something she can't do. T is stressed and stroppy and what does R do? Does she put the kettle on and sit down with T over a cuppa and try and work it out together?. Does she use one of her numerous devices to Google and try to find out how it's done?. Does she ask J to help? or one of the lads?. Does she check if T has any guidelines which might help?. Does she write a quick email to the teacher asking for some guidance?.
No. No she doesn't. Why? Because she gives no shits about those kids. It's all content. Who cares if T suffers with anxiety? Who gives a tit that she's just shown her having a meltdown on camera to all of her followers. Her mocking voice is vile. She's horrid.
Poor kids

 

[Wotsit]

I’m wondering where all her mates are with the reposts about how hilarious they all were ......

 

[other things online]

I’m disgusted with her latest stories where she’s laughing at Ts frustration and then B helping. It’s actually vile, why aren’t people seeing this?
Then the doughnuts ,#doughnutporn with the logo from pornhub. It’s wierd as duck. I’m no prude but that’s just fucked up

She could even have used those 200k followers and all those teachers who love to tell her what a great parent she is and asked them what to do if it was that hard. I’m sure someone would have understood it.

Definitely go to a tattoo or piercing studio that uses needles. They’ll often sterilise everything in front of you before you sign anything or have made any commitment to it I’ve only had great experiences with them!

It's really sad that that many people think that what happens in that house is funny/relatable

Thank you so much for that I will do, I’m so glad B+T got a piercing because I’ve learnt loads I didn’t know

 

[Aussie]

Exactly! She’ll be more upset by her mum laughing at her and filming it than she would be about B arguing with her.

She really must bribe people to be friends with her. If I saw a friend or family member posting that, I don't think I could not say anything about it.

 

[goaldigger]

Why would she help her child? Education isn't important as long as you're kind

 

[MrsA99]

And then she wonders why her parenting gets judged from the 5 minutes she posts in a day. T was clearly upset. So many ways she could have handled it better, but no, she decides to film it and snigger and allow the girls to bicker over something they had no reason to bicker about.
Rather than get T that stressed, write a note to the teacher and then at least they know what areas they need to work on. A teacher would prefer to know that a child isn't getting it and help them. They don't want them stressed out.

If anyone compared my parenting to hers, I would be bleeping gutted & have a hard word with myself

Obviously it's your own choice but I wouldn't recommend it. Also, they're expensive! A reputable piercing place will be half the price.

Anytime! Much to my parents’ dismay I am experienced with piercings and tattoos

I’m intrigued to know if where B/T went didn’t actually ask if they wanted a gun or a needle though, to bring it back on topic

I’m stupidly self aware, I constantly question what I’m doing about everything. When I thought about whether my dislike of Rachael was rational I looked at tons of other ‘mummy bloggers.’ I could not find one that behaves or uses their platform in such a dangerous way towards their children and the public in general. If others don’t see that, I’ve got nothing but sadness for them.
