Sorry wee bit late to the news (practicing my own version of OLLI by working on uni assignments... oh wait, education isn't part of their OLLI is it?
)
What breaks my heart about all this is poor Isla. She used to be the baby of the family. Now she's suddenly the forgotten middle child. What's so sad is that she clearly adores that one on one time she does get with Sarah— see how excited she was for the Butlin's day out! It's not like she's hard to please and Tattlers on here have had lovely thoughtful ideas for days out with her, museum trips, afternoon tea etc. Yet Sarah still can't be bothered and neglects her
Same with Mila, such a lovely wee baby yet Sarah makes out that she's a "thug" for her normal developmental behaviours. She should feel grateful for the kids she has, not roll her eyes when they talk or allow them to be splashed all over the internet for God knows who to see.
And lastly, kids of all ages thrive on routine. This is the age where they should be trying so many different things: new after school clubs, sports teams, field trips etc. These are wonderful opportunities you don't always get later in life yet these parents are squandering it because Chris is a pweirdo and Sarah doesn't care. The kids are stuck in a tin can rattling around different areas. It may as well all be the same considering they do the same thing regardless of if it's the Arctic Circle or a random campsite in England.
