My 8 year old lives in marvel costumes. He’s seen all the movies, got scratched in the garden on Friday moving a plant pot and was hoping it was a spider that bit himI just think he’s very behind. I just wouldn’t imagine my son on his 8th birthday playing in a Spider-Man costume
Someone funnier than me has to rewrite the theme tune
Agree, yes, of course kids of 8 can still dress up and play…. But this isn’t like Alfie is a typical child of 8 and is enjoying dressing up and playing his favourite character. Alfie is like a child of 4, he’s definitely not like a typical child of his age.My 8 year old lives in marvel costumes.

8 is still a fine age to dress up and use your imagination. There are adults that like to do cosplay.
Yeah it is. My daughter used to do that and she’s autistic. I know I shouldn’t say this but I have noticed he has a few traits that don’t necessarily mean he has Autism. But, he does seem to be on the spectrum. And I’m not saying that to be nasty. I feel Alfie’s teacher may have spoken to Becky about certain things but she just hasn’t got them seen to.
She's not young or trendy enough to make those ugly boots workShe looks like she’s on tag with those boots
I can’t believe he hasn’t had a party with friends either, my girls are desperate for their parties this year after missing two years worth because of lockdown. She could have gone all out with her 5k a month, but no, they go to a restaurant with a few family members, how riveting!

Why do people think they have builders/tradesmen at the house? Sorry I am way behind on this thread. I can't get over the Maoams. Boss babe beggy earns my annual salary in one month (apparently) but wraps up bleeping haribo for her 8 year olds birthday. Okay then.And because they have no money atall
Someone came on here a while back, and said the other parents are aware of her online presence and think she's a dick so I bet that's why she keeps her distance
no excuses really with only 25 kids in the class she could invite them allI think it's quite telling that she automatically thinks that if anyone suggests Alfie isn't "normal" then they're being horrible. I wouldn't care if my kids had two heads and turned purple once an hour they're my kids I love them to pieces regardless of any developmental delays/learning difficulties they might have and I'd seek as much help and support as they need to help them live up to their full potential. So what if her kid displays signs of autism, that's not someone "trolling" Alfie or her it's just an observation and she should want to help him. Newsflash Becky - there's nothing wrong with autistic people you know
it's like when the teacher suggested something about his speech and language - why did she automatically think they were being horrible? I'd be so grateful that someone wanted to help my child - a lot of people have to really fight for help and support for their kids and she just rejected any help completely?! That alone makes her a tit mum in my opinion!You are absolutely right! In fact she’s doing Alfie a HUGE disservice not getting him diagnosed if he potentially has any issues. If he is on the spectrum and she has refused any help for him she’s stupid. He will find teenage and adult life very very difficult without the tools to cope. And those tools come from educational psychologists and other professional services that are put in place for the child. My daughter would never have been able to cope without them.I think it's quite telling that she automatically thinks that if anyone suggests Alfie isn't "normal" then they're being horrible.

My daughter is still in pre school (private nursery though so i can drop her off and collect her whenever, no playground chatting or waiting etc) she starts primary in September. I know NONE of the parents because I literally have never seen any of them
BUT I know pretty much every child's name in her class because she plays with them and then talks to me about the at home. If she had a party next week I could send her to nursery with 30 invitations all addressed to her friends, regardless of the fact I don't know the parents so no it's definitely no excuse for Becky!
remember Steve and Beggy’s birthdays where they took themselves off for the weekend away, shopping and eating... and Alfeh gets a family meal, that’s it 
We only have a smallish garden but we still managed a bouncy castle in the garden, I’m sure there are more grown up activities that they could have hired for the garden as well... they could have gone to legoland or they could have even made a weekend of it at xscape and stayed the night and done more activities... I would say Alfie could have even taken a friend but I honestly don’t think he can have any friends. That’s why he’s so rude to Woody, he’s got no social skills... he doesn’t know how to speak to and play with other children... saying it’s for bigger boys is repeated from Beggy. Exactly! There are so many ideas for gifts related to space; glow in the dark ceiling stars, a telescope, an astronaut costume, space books etc. My sister just bought her partner’s step-daughter a telescope for her birthday because she loves space. It was a special buy from Aldi and it cost £79.99, which isn’t too bad for a National Geographic item. Becky and Steve either don’t have the money for such presents, don’t care or are so thick that they don’t know what to buy… or maybe a combination of all 3.
I don’t know anything about having builders in. People have to be very wary of how she words things because IIRC she said they were ‘having work done on the house.’ That could mean anything but she wants it to sound like they have tradesmen renovating the place, when in reality it’s probably Beaver painting some more skirting boards/building another bed shelf/tiling (badly)/painting those rotten windows/new WiFi being fitted. Something really mundane and trivial.On tag
