Doesn’t even look like it’s much fun either! Like a garden centre cafe full of older people! Happy Halloween, kidsThey’re not even dressed up for their tea
No effort, attention or imagination is spent on them. Poor wee sods.

The weather has been horrific this weekend so we decided we’ve have a cosy weekend instead. We went pumpkin picking last weekend so we carved our pumpkins this weekend and my 3yo had full reign on design (they look awful but he likes it lol). We’ve made Halloween cupcakes, coloured in spooky pictures, watched spooky age related films with a Halloween themed snack tray. My little boy has absolutely loved it and I’ll struggle to get his costume off tonight 
It didn’t cost us much but he’s had so much fun.
I don’t know why she never puts in the effort for her boys but it’s horrific to watch. Kids don’t need much but they deserve something.

I just feel so sorry for them! I think of all the things I’ve done with my children over the years, the trick or treating, the Halloween parties, scary movie nights with friends, pumpkin picking, fun but tacky Halloween decorations around the house, countless different outfits that we’ve come up with & bought or made, you name it we have done it & I still sometimes feel like I could have done more. How does she not feel guilty that they’re growing up really quickly & one day they won’t be interested in all this stuff, or they’ll off doing things with friends instead?!Doesn’t even look like it’s much fun either!

I will say, I feel like EVERYTHING has become so commercialised and like a competition these days - Halloween ends up going on all month. It used to just be trick or treating or a Halloween disco, now it's all about Halloween crafts, pumpkin picking, scare mazes, haunted houses etc etc. Not everyone has the means, time, or money to do all these things.
HOWEVER. All begs does is go on about her uhmazin biznezz, and how it allows her freedom and time, and about how much of a boss babe business owner she is and how much money she makes. She's constantly "treating" herself and doing things for HER. For something with so much supposed time, money, and love for her kids I would have expected at the very least some pumpkin carving and a Halloween disco of some kind. Not trick or treating on a weekday and a crappy "spooky" Halloween tea which is just egg mayo sarnies cut into a ghost shape

.We have had a similar weekend to you, and my kids are absolutely loving it! A nice witch came and left a couple of little treats for them this morning- nothing expensive, we have decorated our little table in a spooky tablecloth, made some little crafts, done the pumpkin, and had some lovely family time watching movies in our costumes. It hasnt cost much at all, just a little effort on my part and to see my kids faces this morning was absolutely amazing. *Not a bleeping afternoon tea in sight!*.The weather has been horrific this weekend so we decided we’ve have a cosy weekend instead.

Beggy just doesnt put any effort in to anything other than to herself. She is a bleeping embarrassment. I do think everything has become so commercialized and just another way for the shops to take our money, but its not cost me hardly anything other than my time and effort and i love being able to do this for my kids. With the 5 figures she makes each month i would have expected her to go all out! lol.
Oh definitely & I’ll admit I get well & truly sucked into the commercial side of things. You should see me at Christmas!I will say, I feel like EVERYTHING has become so commercialised and like a competition these days - Halloween ends up going on all month.

But like you said, it’s the fact that she makes all these bold claims about having lots of time & money, says how she loves that her ‘business’ allows her to spend all day with her kids, but then she spends hardly any time with them & when they are spending time together, it’s doing something she wants to do.
It’s just all lip service to motherhood. Her 2 brain cells can’t cope if she has to think about something that doesn’t involve her at the centre.
Oh I know Halloween is commercialised now. In my day my mum stuck a bin bag on me and a cheap witches hat and called it a day! Plus I’d take a month of Halloween and it’s relatively low cost over Christmas any day. As from tomorrow we’ll be bombarded with the expensive bastard festive season (really not a fan but pretend to love it for the kids!) Two months of Christmas cheer for just one day 
It is the fact that she bangs on about how she’s a successful business woman
and can spend all her time with her kids thanks to her ‘job’ and yet the boys are actually her lowest priority

Agree about the commercialisation of it all. However, a couple of pumpkins and a bit of party food from Aldi and a couple of costumes from Tesco surely is within her £5k a month boss babe budget. But it takes a bit of effort to do the carving and put the oven on. They don't give two shits about those kids. 
Same here. Last year we decorated the whole house, had a Halloween party, dressed up, Halloween quizzes, pumpkin carving, apple bobbing etc cause we were largely stuck in the house.The weather has been horrific this weekend so we decided we’ve have a cosy weekend instead.

This year we’ve both been so busy with work, then bloody covid tests we haven’t had much chance to book anything so we’ve done some nice autumn walks, made Halloween cupcakes and snacks, dressed up, done face paint, decorated inside… it’s not been super exciting but we’ve done what we can. Which seems to be about 100% more than Rebecca with all that free time she has not having an actual job.
To kids though it is exciting. We decided against trick or treating this year simply because a lot of people are still a bit on the fence because of Covid. We spent maybe £50 that’s including costume but it was worth it. If we went to doors and no one answered or turned us away, he’d have been upset. Plus a lot of decorations etc you can reuse. We’ve used old cups and trays from previous years. Our kids will look back and love their memories with their family. I can’t see Alfie and woody doing the same. I mean who doesn’t dress their kid up on Halloween?! Even a bin bag would have been better than nothing
Nothing says delicious afternoon tea for all the family quite like filming your child sat there picking bits off his food!

They would of had more fun dressing up, face paints, costumes at home!
Spooky kids films etc, she just never gets it quite right does she??

Where’s darling child Woody?!
I don’t think she knew the menu when she booked as half the stuff doesn’t seem like anything she would eat!
Anyone else get the vibe Steve didn’t want to be there?
He’s probably hanging from last night
Tell us you’ve been reading Tattle without telling us. I swear Alfie wore that last year.
What in holy hell has she made the boys for their Halloween tea?! Woody looks like he’s got a dollop of pasta and some kind of sausage and Alfie just has sausage? Nice…. 
Alfie’s portion is TINY.

Why would you do that when you’ve already had Halloween tea out?! If she had bothered to dress them when they went out, they could have stopped out trick or treating. Hardly going to have many people knocking on their door in the middle of nowhere. Although the police knocking to have a word about Beaver would definitely scare them
