Rach, stop trying to make lockdown baby happen, it’s NOT going to happen.
I bet she's gutted that she didn't have Wilbert during actual lockdown, imagine the sympathy she'd get if she'd had to attend midwife appointments without Joyce.

Oh she will have got round that rule. Didn’t she go to the hospital or Drs during lockdown with Joyce.

I think its a given that Betsey will have a dabble

I’m not sticking up for her, and we all know Wilby has had contact with people outside the immediate family throughout lockdown, but my niece was born October before the first lockdown, so she didn’t mix with any others for a year so rarely been with any other child whilst becoming a toddler. Anyway since baby groups opened back up this year my sister works full time so I took her to her first toddler group and she was incredibly shy... to start with, now she’s so confident and bubbly etc she loves it. So I can understand why she says lockdown baby.. actually I can’t because lockdown didn’t apply to them.. she just wants to use that as more attention that she’s raised the messiah single handedly throughout lockdown. I don’t know why I’ve just gone on one, probably doesn’t make any sense to anyone..

Well, she is her mother’s daughter
(plus she’s at that age where many experiment)

If she’d word it differently “Wilby hasn’t had an opportunity to mix with kids his own age due to lockdown and he’s a bit wary”, we couldn’t argue with that.

She has no excuse now and should be getting him out there socialising a couple of times a week.

Exactly - but all kids, regardless of their age, have been bloody adversely affected by lockdown, that’s a given and something she should be working to rectify in all her children (except all her kids continued to see other people throughout so actually they’re probably ok). Being an actual lockdown baby is different.

They've had every man and his dog through the house all the way through the pandemic, plus days out here, there and everywhere (despite her claims that they "acted like they were in tier 4"). Even pre Covid she never took him to any baby groups or anything, and when they reopened last year again she didn't bother. She said that she tried to take him to nursery but he didn't like it so she stopped. What will she do when he has to start school if he decides he doesn't like that either? Just take him home and stick him in front of the telly for the rest of his life?

It’s not the same, many kids are shy going into playgroups. That’s natural. Kids are not born with confidence and as parents it’s our jobs to encourage them. She films his meltdowns for the huns. Then blames it on lockdown. She’s twisted.

Agree with every point you’ve made.

The pair of them are useless; lazy and negligent of Wilby’s needs. We know she’d record every little thing if they did stuff with him at home so no recording means they do nothing ; no play dough, sand in the garden, painting etc.

The poor lad doesn’t even appear to eat with any of them, he hadn’t got a hope in that house.

Exactly, my *actual* lockdown baby had to start nursery in March this year (you know, so i could go back to work early...because COVID killed my husband's business. Real people problems). She cried going in for the first month or so (me too), but she got over it, & she enjoys herself while she's there. Does R think that keeping him away from *every* situation he doesn't immediately take to will help him in the long run?

My youngest (and the most sociable of my kids) cried most days going to school for months after loving nursery and play school. The change was overwhelming. It was hard going but we just had to comfort, reassure and persevere.

And she blamed it on the kids. There's no way she was out with them five days out of seven.

New Thread Title - ‘He’s not a lockdown baby.’

Wow anyway, is she well? What was all the babbling about finding new friends and her thinking people are wankers etc. She’s got friends hasn’t she? Most bizarre. (Plus just a point, it’s Josh I can’t stand and I’ve barely ever watched his stories.)

Why did she say she doesn’t trust Wibble around other kids? That makes him sound really problematic and unable to mainstream socialise. It’s nothing to do with lockdown if he’s aggressive

Saying her and Joyce are taking the little ones away on Wednesday sounds awfully like it's only Edie and W going.
