Saff Michaelis

[Colourfulmug]

She really feels the need to justify all her parenting decisions on Ms behaviour eg moving to formula because M was just so hungry...CIO because M just didn't sleep. Perhaps M was just a normal baby and Saff didn't want to breastfeed and wanted more sleep...just own it rather than blaming your child!

Obligatory note that fed is best and formula obviously has it's place and is very important and life saving but Saff made breastfeeding seem like her whole identity at first...until it got hard and then stopped! Lots of women stop breastfeeding at that point because they're convinced their baby is just so hungry...even though it's normal infant behaviour and developmental

Saff's personality is got to be in control, got to be perfect, very militant

She obvs cant help it, thats her. I understand because I am similar and like things the best I can do to my ability, and I set expectations..you soon learn with babies and toddlers it is impossible.

For me it was going into the toddler phase i found the hardest.

I totally agree with this and I think it likely speaks to why she takes her parents to everything. She needs that support in case Margot does kick off (as toddlers do!) so she can hand her over and go back to whatever it is that she is doing.
It’s quite sad in some ways, she has little confidence in her parenting even though she has made being a young mum her entire identity.

An observation I have made.

The lovely table cloth Saff has that hangs long and has windows so kids can play inside doubling as a house/table cloth. Looks like a wonderful invetion and I would have bought into it. Having had the toddlers and young kids, that table cloth would not have worked for us! It wouklld have been pulled off and the contents of the table top everywhere !, kids no matter what the age, tug, the entrance area going in/out the way toddlers do...!

We dont know if her parents were gifted. They may have paid themselves if it was gifted they need to be declaring it.

Sorry this will ruffle some feathers but Saff isn’t really a full time parent. She’s a part time play at one. She had Margot young so that she will “still be young” when Margot leaves for uni (she won’t have a choice here!). She has sleep trained her daughter, gave up on breastfeeding the second it interfered with HER plans, she has a nanny several times a week now little M is mobile. Zach is quite clearly a super involved dad (that is great) so she actually has to do VERY little. She spends a day a week with her mum too. Margot is an accessory for her. I dressed my daughter beautifully in smocked dresses but at the park they need leggings and a tshirt so they can climb and muck about! Her having a second child would annihilate her life .

This is why I'm unsure she's currently pregnant.

Having Margot is not as easy as she thought.

100% agree with you. No notes

For a group of influencers, I'm surprised at how mis-matched their outfits are in that Battersea video. It's like everyone was given a different dress code

Yes. I dont think any dress code coukd have been given

Saff stood out as always, she does impeccably dress in a classy chic way. And can do sexy without looking smutty tack.

I don’t think she’s pregnant but we will all find out soon enough.

She really tries hard to be Amanda in Amandaland eh

Not her fault but Missing Person is an insane name for a perfume wtf

It's the same every year, press day is always full of celebs and influencers blocking the way

ETA: I get that's why press day is there but it's ridiculous how many have no interest in plants at all

Saff has plastic grass in her 'garden' and no discernible signs of plants/ love of gardening
