Imagine packing the dummy in your child’s lunch & sending your child off to school. I think the trauma from the teasing of the other children would be more traumatic.
I was dead against using soothers but caved when I saw the little thumb heading to the mouth. My husband and his siblings were thumb suckers so purchased the soother. I think around the age of three they disappeared. I told my daughter that the garbage men had taken them away. I was expecting more push back and drama. Passed very quickly. Years later I do believe as a teenager she opened the drawer of a dressing table and discovered the hidden stash. Was quite upset with me for telling her that the garbage men had taken them.

I told mine Santa took them for other boys and girls and left them toys!

Isobel is an enabler. Until recently (SA) she's always jumped in and done everything for Stephanie. I don't imagine she had much patience when SJ was a child and would do everything for her just to get it done. How do you learn if someone doesn't allow to you to do it for yourself, make mistakes and then learn from them? This is why Stephanie never finishes a project, her mother usually takes over so why bother?

Isabelle is more than that. Someone recently pointed out the early video in which IJ is having a meltdown in the laundry room, possibly abusing volunteers, when SJ walks in with the camera on. IJ positively shape shifts into another smiling and much smaller human being when she gets a load of the camera.
It's a shape shift that sends all kinds of alarms ringing for someone who observes narcs or DPDs toggle between personalities.
I had a shrink once who had [edited to add: to help with no contact detachment from narc and PTSD] with a narc whose eyes went black (pupil dilation) when his "shadow side" came out. She said this had terrified her ever since.
I'm not quite seeing it at that level in IJ, but me and my psychiatric medical degree diagnose that something clinical that way comes.

His making the crotch remark on cam in front of Isabelle Jarvis while still very much on trial is a marker of how feckless, clueless and vicious Philip Janssen is.

Great stuff @billybudd, stuff of oscar winning movie speeches there - reminded me so much of the speech in Gladiator 'My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius...''.

The Fleuries Sunday evening vlog is up. I don't care that they ask for Patreon because they get actually work done. They show the process ( love the interplay between Phillip and Benoit) seeing the ongoing work and the completed project.

That was the time when everyone in the kitchen was texting Fanny saying 'Come down, Mummy is on the warpath'. Fanny found her ranting and losing it in the laundry.

That’s so Lalande!!!

Fanny uses that catch phrase whenever she sees something expensive or at a far superior castle, chateau, or antique shop in order to infer that La Lande deserves expensive upgrades or furnishing in line with a fancy chateau not a rural farmhouse. She is trying hard to brand the name LaLande with luxury or quality so she can profit from it.

I want to help establish the truth. Can everyone help? What does LaLande really stand for? What do you associate with Lalande?

That’s so Lalande!!!!
Dirty filthy attics and bat and batshit filled cellars.
Filthy kitchens and laundry rooms
Exterior doors with no locks.
Exploitation of “volunteers” for Fanny’s benefit.
Copious consumption of alcohol
Grifting thousands of dollars of “gifts” and support from grannies and other supporters under false pretenses
Free upgrades!!!
Damp and musty cold rooms.
Rotting windowsills and windows
Daddy porn art
Negligees as outdoor gardening wear
Missing accountants and chapel restorer
Dark roots and bleached hair

Constant loud squeeking, babbling and cackling noises.
Stained smelly vintage couches and chairs
Sudden downpours of sewage from faulty pipes in the ceiling
Attic full of armoirs full of trash
Crumbling, damp walls
Closets full of unwashed vintage clothing
Leftover dinners
Loud bedroom activities

And why was Sabine in Venice?

I think someone here found an advert for actors by Stephanie .... vague memory ... and I think Sabine is a hired actress .... like other mentioned, she's there to fluff out the entourage ... make Stephanie Jarvis appear to the popular princess in the middle of her minions ... she's needed for photo ops ...

Apologies from me. Thank you to @après-le-déluge coming up with a new thread title. Dramas in real life stopped me in my tracks with Tattle. Suffice to say never have a mental health episode in UK if you want help. Niece's neighbour was having one. Literally ranting, raving, painting her windows, painting her car, painting abuse outside my neice's house. Was released too early from mental health facility. Poor woman. 21 year old son at his wits end. Social services do nothing. So who can we call when she is clearly in need of help...out of hours ansaphone. Only option is to call Police. Ring non emergency line..permanent message, we are experiencing a high volume of calls at the moment...In the end her next door neighbour rings fire service as she is setting fire to stuff in the back garden. Police come as well, take her away. She is in hospital waiting for a bed...
Making the whole chateau la la lande, bubbleheaded fools whose only worry is where to go next to spend other people's money even more disgusting. Sorry rant over.

That must have been exhausting. How are you coping now?

I'm no psychologist, i'm an observer. I watch peoples behaviour, i also work with dogs so i understand psychology. I identified IJ as a narc before i identified SJ, it was only when the grifting started that i could see it in SJ, i could see she had traits but we all do.
I would've liked to observe her father, i suspect he was an extrovert narc but that's just speculation.

 

[Princess and the Pea]

Just noticed all the same colour - dull beige sweater, hair, background, little makeup - it's like Stephanie Jarvis was trying to camouflage herself and fade into the background out of embarrassment.

Her face looks like an egg with eyebrows drawn on...meow....

I actually enjoyed Philip's humour tonight.

You’ll get sick of all that prescriptive Fleuries beige Jeeves me old mate…just wait.
You’ll be begging for Stephie and Snorts to let you back into Grabeaux and they’ll give you the giant .
(Tattlers you saw the prophecy right here )

 

[Kickintheass]

I never thought of all those hours poor Selmar spent sitting in the Chateau Unwrapped vlogs, imagine if he billed her for them now! The problem is the lines are so blurred amd everyone is made to feel like Family, so it must be impossible to say no.

SJ would probably claim he was paid in woolly hats, man glitter t-shirts and dog treats.

 

[Fennelbug]

Davy and Hanni would be more of a match!

Beard and Skirt match

 

[Princess and the Pea]

Oh thank you. I had migraine all day today. It doesn't impact on me on a daily basis but it does affect my neice as she lives opposite. Her son & the lady with the mental health issues are friends and it's hard to see the impact on a kid when their mum isn't well mentally. He's stoic about it but that makes me so sad for him. Even more enraged by the chateau tribe who seem to live outside of the real world. Thanks again.

Brilliant….love it

I wonder if “That’s so LaLande“ could be the first tee shirt La Chatelaine and #BaldyBoyFriday could merch

Come on you photoshoppers. Give us a glitzy, glamorous, padded shoulders 80s tee?

 

[Princess and the Pea]

Think you're right. Without wanting to go even more into the amateur psychologist route I think they both have similar traits...socially awkward?

FRK and dopey Ryan would make a great pair. They could gurn across the dinner table at each other. We could start the Chateauland Dating Agency!

It would be lovely if disgruntled guests at Lalande would take the time to write a few lines in the TripAdvisor review section. There are only 12 reviews so far, all positive ones.

You can read them here (the site is in Spanish, cant's seem to find the English version):

CHATEAU DE LA LANDE (Crozon-sur-Vauvre, Francia) - Opiniones y comentarios - Castillo - Tripadvisor

Languages spoken section has been updated to include "Dutch" , and apparently there are activities for children which make Lalande ideal for a family stay...
