I do the exact same. My workstation is my dining table, I wouldn't dream of being upstairs and leaving them to their own devices. My children wouldn't be happy on their own either, they need to know I am close by.These times are hard. I'm also trying to work from home (also an essential worker similar to hers). Different is my child is my main priority. I get up early to start work, work after I have put my child to bed and try and fit work in around my child whilst for Sarah it looks like the children have to fit round work and instagram stories.
Same here - I’ve moved my desk downstairs, it was impossible to work when I’m upstairs and they’re downstairs. But no she has to have her big boss mama officeShe should just work downstairs! I'm working from home with the kids and it isn't that bad as long as I'm working somewhere they can see me
I can’t get over how little she feeds her children for their lunch. Such small portions!
I know I can’t get over it. My four year old eats a whole apple and a whole banana a day! Plus lots more and there’s nothing to him. Hollow legs as my mother law says. I do wonder if she projects her own feelings of food onto her children or they’re constantly snacking.It’s ridiculous.
She should scrap the bloody crisps and slices of cake and give each of them a proper portion of fruit instead of 1 strawberry (presumably Lachlan’s plate?)
Isla is 6. She could easily have a proper sandwich and a banana (whole, in its skin, eaten like an adult!) and a good helping of strawberries. I wonder if Sarah will be serving their meals like this when they are in their teens?
She's only worried about Lachlan she just doesn't want to single him out, and that's because he is always in a pushchair so never has any experience walking and listening to her. No wonder he flees when he gets on foot, probably running for his life not to get strapped back down in a pram at three and a half.We all have days that are better that others and some days when let’s be honest, we are pleased to see the back of.
Why is she not able to control her children? As a parent who frequently is on her own whilst her partner is away how is she not able to take her children for a walk along a road with confidence in their behaviour? What exactly does she do when she has to go out shopping/errands with the children whilst in her own? Life doesn’t stop!
It’s a bit different at the moment because there is no option but to keep apart from usual support networks but she seems to lack any resilience.
Walking near a road needn’t be stressful. The children will learn how to behave appropriately if taught and given the opportunity to try.
Do they not have to walk to school (normally)? That seems like a perfect chance to practise.
L would get a hot meal too at nursery.Does she realise that Isla has a hot meal for lunch at school...a hot meal with a pudding and extra fruit/bread if wanted.
Now she’s getting half a sandwich, a few crisps and 3 slices of apple.
