Maybe he’s actually even older than she’s admitting
!
For a long time I’ve had no idea about how they started. Omg I’m shocked!!! I always thought he was the a little better half of them but now I can’t look at him. Makes me feel very uneasy seeing him holding the baby hmm weird. 13 and 25 year old is wrong on every level. The blog post is shocking. Poor child one day will read all about her parents off the net 
our girl is 13! Sick 
our girl is 13! Sick If only she had a gifted totter & tumble mat she could to put it on. Oh wait, she does but she uses it for her Pilates
You should email them and let them know, it’s the only way they learn. Send them the link to this page too, will prove how much business they will lose because they were blinded by her follower figuresI bleeping KNEW that pikler triangle would turn out to be gifted!! £195 for the triangle, plus £120 for the slide attachment. I find it absolutely abhorrent how she even admits in her own blog post that she thinks it’s too expensive, and doesn’t know if it would get much use, yet when offered it for free her greedy, Grabby little hands can’t snatch it off the brand quick enough. Rebecca you disgust me. And are you telling me you donated £315 to Tomy’s and Refuge? When you said you thought the pikler alone was too much money. Just duck right off, because I don’t believe you for a second, and this whole “donation made, look at me, I’m holier then thou” crap you’re now spouting makes me despise you even more than before as we all know you haven’t donated £315. I think I preferred you when you at least accepted that you’re a greedy cow and owned it, but now you trying to fob off your greedy Grabby ways as somehow benefitting a charity is even worse. And as for the brands... well sawdust and rainbows I’d been saving up to buy my daughter one of your pikler triangles for her first birthday but you can forget it now. If you can give away hundreds of pounds of stuff to a woman who in her own words thinks it’s overpriced and wouldn’t buy one if she had to fund it herself than you can clearly do without my businessI’m raging.
He’s 38 next monthMaybe he’s actually even older than she’s admitting
Facts.... Ben Stirling is a paedophile. He groomed a 13 year old girl. Her parents allowed this to happen. You can gloss over it Rebecca, but they have all abused you.
She’s only a couple of school years older than me; to think that when she was 13 and I was 11 she was with a 24 year old literally turns my stomach. I know we keep going on about it but honestly it’s just shocking. Especially as they clearly don’t think it’s an issue?! The blog post is shocking too. She’s literally been brain washed into thinking it’s all romantic and just an amazing fairytale! She’s so deluded, I actually feel sorry for her 
He’s all she’s known since she was 13, it’s no wonder she is how she is. And her parents failed her big time. The above post is right - they’ve all been abusive towards her. And just because she’s happy in her lovely little stepford wife role now, doesn’t make it all ok.

Lol.She’s only a couple of school years older than me; to think that when she was 13 and I was 11 she was with a 24 year old literally turns my stomach.

I can’t believe it’s glossed over outside of this thread. It’s horrendous. Same as the Radfords - Sue was 14 when she had her first baby and Noel was 19. A 13/14 year old girl is a child - simple as.
That blog post makes uncomfortable reading - no wonder she deleted it.
Is she REALLY happy?! The constant need to be on holiday, always planning the next thing and recreating her childhood Christmas every year suggests otherwise!She’s only a couple of school years older than me; to think that when she was 13 and I was 11 she was with a 24 year old literally turns my stomach.

I think she thinks she’s happy. She doesn’t appear happy to us, but we weren’t groomed at 13 so we have different expectations in life than she does.Is she REALLY happy?! The constant need to be on holiday, always planning the next thing and recreating her childhood Christmas every year suggests otherwise!
Yes you’re right, packet ham does nothing for me, a bottle of gin on the other hand!
She’s a female version of Peter Pan. She hasn’t grown upIs she REALLY happy?! The constant need to be on holiday, always planning the next thing and recreating her childhood Christmas every year suggests otherwise!
It’s a self evident truth that if so much effort is made to curate a perfect life that when in actual fact life deviates from that perfection in even the most minor way eg a cloudy day or having to pass through Hemel Hempstead you’re plunged into depression then things aren’t really that perfect in the first place. Our Grabby is simply the queen of glossing over, and we all know people who do this. It’s desperate and sad, the need for everything to not just be OK but marvellous, dreamy etc because underneath it all you are teetering on meltdown as none of it is real. That must take its toll. It takes its toll on me just watching 
Luckily she has alllllllll the freebies to take the edge off but, it seems to me at least, that will only take her so far.

Yep. I never used to think much of Ben but now it is confirmed she was 13 when he was interested in her, I find that absolutely vile and he is a pedophile. Why on earth would any decent grown adult man be sexually/romantically interested in a CHILD? Wonder how they will feel if, in 12 years' time, Freya comes home with a 24-year-old man.
Exactly. A 10 year gap is no issue at all if both are consenting adults, but the fact is she was nowhere near an age of consent, she was a child and therefore easily influenced and was clearly groomed.
When I was 13 I was still prank calling my crushes' landlines (this was before mobile phones were the norm
) and engaging in water fights at school. And yet I was also called older and wiser than my years during my teens like she claims she was. So what, doesn't mean that's OK to have a serious relationship with a man almost twice her age at that point!!! It's sad no parents intervened. I'm guessing there must have been tantrums, threats of cutting all contact, etc from her side so in the end they relented, in fear of losing her forever.
It's all sick and sad. And she's definitely retained her childishness, she can barely speak and I can confirm no one in Herts has such an awful accent saying frows and sumfink and all that.
Wouldn't it be amazing to see her suddenly realise what's happened to her, break free from it all, divorce, report him, metaphorically burn down the house (allotment, garden, pikler) of dreams and drive off into the sunset to live a life on her own terms? Rooting for this kind of happy ending.
