Just because our parents did it doesn’t make it right. The exception is that now people are profiting big time off of the idea that babies should be self settling and sleeping for longer stints than they are developmentally ready for, and using influencers to promote this idea.Lol, sleep training (post 12 weeks) is what allllllll of our parents did. I was talking to mum and she said that all the parents in her day (early 80s) were told if their baby was crying just make sure they had everything they needed (food water etc etc) and if it became too much for you as a parent, leave them inside, lock the door and go for a walk around the block.
We’re not doing anything near that, we’re going in every 2 min, then 3, then 4 and then every 10 until the baby is going to sleep by themselves.
If sleep training (post 12 weeks) is what you need to get the sleep you need in order to feel like you can actually parent and be alive to do your full time job, then go for it.
The idea that sleep training fundamentally fucks kids up and teaches them they can’t expect help from anyone is total bullshit. Every set of twins I know have had to be in a sleep routine from pretty much day one otherwise there’s no way their parents could ever handle the situation…and all the twins I know are pretty damn normal.
Stop shaming parents who choose to do sleep training (after 12 weeks)…I was sleep trained, you were probably “cry it out” sleep trained, and we aren’t walking around like emotionless zombies. I’m not gonna shame anyone who chooses to co-sleep or whatever, just do what works for you.
Also the question box was up last night when we didn't know she was going to the hairdresser today.She's currently at the hairdresser. She 100% put that in herself whilst there to up her hairdresser. Nobody asking for recommendations asks is "hairdresser name" good. They ask "is your hairdresser good? "
Just checked his insta page and he writes his name as Joshua on his page. So using Josh is odd if you didn't already have a relationship with him.
Also going from Loxys to Vivo, woof
Cordbank still hounded me after I had a miscarriage, they still keep calling me to see if it was this month I was now pregnant.Meh, in my opinion cordbank are just as bad as Simone Anderson so it’s a perfect partnership.
absolutely disgusting for a business to be preying on vulnerable first time parents.
THIS! YES! - new member here. Thank you for voicing my thoughts exactly.The thing that gets me about all of this obfuscation of reality that Simone engages in is that it all seems totally unnecessary!
When we had two kids, we had to get rid of our spare bedroom that had a queen bed in it for guests. Thats just what happens. So if Trent is now working in the spare room downstairs, then why not just say “Trent’s office is now in the spare room so that Asher’s big boy room can be upstairs with us”.
It would be the most normal thing in the world. Same with putting Asher into daycare. If she had just said “influencing and being able to complete my partnership obligations is a 30 hour a week job, so we’ve decided to put him into daycare for three days a week so I can focus on work for those days” that would have been the most normal thing in the world.
But she is intentionally opaque and deceitful when asked about these things, giving vague answers that don’t actually align with reality, so it makes everything she says seem untrustworthy. And again, to what end? What benefit does she get from obscuring the truth around these things?
