Is it a 12? It looks like an 11 to me? (Not being pedantic, just that it’s slightly cheaper). I know what you mean though, she’s upgrading her contract to a fancy new one and then buying them cheap tat. She’s always been the same though, she loves her labels, yet she doesn’t treat her children to decent stuff.

Weird though because she’s always going on like she can only afford Poundland, b&m & aldi, but then she lives in a big house with designer bags, shoes and clothes for herself, plus her expensive phone contact...

I didn’t even know that was steak until I read it...
and I agree, it doesn’t make any sense at all.

came here from the dinner, what is it with that family that NO ONE can cook?! It looks horrendous. Plain potatoes, a cooked old shoe and some shrivelled mushrooms can’t cope.
And agree with the shopping comments- she buys the girls so much stuff but it’s all cheap toot- would be much better off investing in less, but nicer pieces of clothing and toys!

An old shoe!

like you say with the clothes and toys, if she invested in decent stuff then she wouldn’t need to buy so much. Maybe if she did some research into toys she would realise she doesn’t need to constantly buy plastic tat to keep them occupied.

If she bought more wooden and open ended toys then there would be less waste as they last for much longer and because there are so many ways to play they will be used for a long time, rather than being a one hit wonder. It annoys me that she moans about things, but makes no effort to change them.

It annoyed me that she knew the school shoes were too small but she was too tight to buy more. I think she was gifted the kickers eventually which is what she was holding out for

Shes set up tablets on the back of headrests for trips to the shops. Is she for real.
Anything for an easy life? Is it just me who thinks it's more hassle to get tablets on the back of headrests, put them on, get them on a programme and then take them off again to put them away before going into is shop and then have to set them up again to go home all for the sake of 10/15 minute drive. She never fails to baffle me.her parenting choices just dont make sense.

How about talk to your children in the car. Sing songs, point out trees, trucks, buses etc.

I feel like she’s so out of her depth, but instead of picking up a book and educating herself, she just either complains or uses the easy way out.
she needs to realise that it’s not always respectful to our children to just use the easy way out because we aren’t doing them any favours.
if they’re fighting in the car then she needs to figure out why and address the problem, instead of making it by attaching tablets to the seats.

her parenting method is really disrespectful and I don’t think she even realises it. Not doing things like potty training and removing cots because SHE isn’t ready even though the girls are. Using cop out methods like strapping them into the high chair or making them watch a tablet for an easy life. It’s all so disrespectful to the girls because she’s not even taking into account their feelings and she’s underestimating their capabilities.

Easy fixes for the short term are a nightmare in the long term. I'm surprised she hasnt figured that out yet. Also how long does she stay in bed in the mornings?? She does strike me as someone who is very unhappy, I think she does need to actually go back to work and get some normality and structure back in her life and just another dimension because she isnt capable of coming up with her own projects to occupy herself or the girls.
I also cant believe she hasnt potty trained the girls yet or attempted it, I think they would pick it up fine and their behaviour would probably massively improve too along with their self esteem and confidence.

Totally agree. She’s clearly very unhappy and she needs to do something to fix that. Like you say, going back to work would give her something else to focus on and it would give her some time to herself too. Plus the structure and normality would help with her anxiety.

I can’t believe she hasn’t potty trained them either. Generally speaking it’s easiest to train them between 20-30 months as anything past that can mean that the child is stuck in their ways and won’t want to change it (not always, but for a lot of children). The girls were probably ready a long time ago and she’s probably just missed the subtle signs. Maybe she’s waiting until they just get up and say, “I don’t want to wear a nappy now”, but sadly it doesn’t happen with most children and it just gets more difficult the older they get. Either that or she just doesn’t want to let go of this stage, either way it’s not fair to them.

Agree with you all!
Surely being stuck in the house and not going to work is the perfect time for those girls to be potty trained - their speech is good and they seem to grasps things fine, so I can only think it’s pure laziness!!!
I can’t believe the tablets in the headrests! Fine for holidays etc when you are in the car a long time, but for every day use to pop to the shop?! You have some serious issues that need addressing if you can’t cope 20 minutes without falling back on screen time

Exactly, it’s like she just gets overwhelmed at anything she thinks will be hard work, so then she chooses not to, but she can’t have them in nappies forever. She’s probably hoping they will train themselves magically.

I can’t understand why she’s saying they are fighting, how are they fighting if they are across the car from each other? Unless she means arguing? Surely she could take a book or put on a children’s cd or something.

Exactly that. I’m all for screen time in moderation but it irritates me when parents jump to it as a problem solver - doesn’t solve problems, just turns kids in to quiet little zombies!

Exactly, it’s basically a pacifier. It doesn’t teach them patience or how to occupy themselves, it just makes them worse.

Also I don’t know if anyone else follows chloe Lauren - but she has twin girls around a week younger than shaunas. They have been potty trained for a while, despite the fact their speech isn’t as good as shaunas twins and chloe has a one year old to contend with.
I know all kids are different but it just shows how lazy she is being!

Just gone and had a look. Her twins actually seem older too.
Exactly, if there was a genuine reason why they couldn’t be potty trained then there wouldn’t be an issue, but you just can see with her that it’s a mixture of laziness and wanting to keep them a babies for as long as she can because she hasn’t even attempted it yet, apart from a half assed effort of putting a potty in the bathroom... if she was having difficulties potty training we would have heard about it, but clearly she isn’t even trying.
