I met with a friend today, who works in the medical field. We got onto the topic of the Minghams because she despises them as much as I do. We were watching our kids play and it was actually my friend who said first how she feels sad that the Ingham kids don’t know what this feels like. She raised many concerns with Jace’s development and also Isla’s rapid weight gain. She said that both things would be red flagged in the medical field and follow up appointments made. She was saying how she’d refer Jace to speech therapy and occupational therapy if he was under her care & Isla for a full day of tests to make sure her weight gain isn’t anything sincere, considering they never take them for check ups.
Check ups?? Hard pushed to get a doctors appointment now let alone a check up.
I don’t believe Jace would get referred to SALT, there’s other children with higher needs than he has that would benefit from therapy. Jace sounds like Alvin and the chipmunks because of the way he is spoken to by all adults in the house in that ridiculous baby voice, being made so say mama and dada, and Lazy mimicking him all the time. That would be this first thing a speech therapist would pick up on.
Jace has never socialised with children his own age on a regular basis, he has absolutely no routine, bad sleep habits, bad eating habits, barely spends any time outside and most likely glued to that iPad all the time. Who the hell lets a 4 year old have a nap at 5pm!
At Mila’s age she would need about 2 hour nap after lunch, Jace really shouldn’t need a nap if he was going to bed at and appropriate time which he doesn’t so he really wouldn’t need more than an hour. Any decent parent would take the 2 youngest back to the room after lunch for a nap but not these morons they can’t let the little kids ruin THIER holiday so they prefer to have the kids baking in the sun.
As for Isla, again she has the same issues as Jace, completely isolated she has zero interaction with anyone outside the family, does nothing, goes to nothing, she never seems to sleep in her own bed, only exercise she gets is cycling to the shop to buy even more sweets!
If Isla was still at school she would be outside playing at break and lunch time, have at least 2 hours of PE a week. But she barley leaves the house. So much for the dance school they bragged about last year being the only ones on stage that were smiling. Imagine buying all those dance dresses for her birthday but she no longer even goes to dance classes anymore.
Personally I don’t think Lazy should be home schooling Jace anything at 4 years old, but he should be in a playgroup/nursery LEARNING to socialise with children his age, they should be taking him to swimming lessons, and other activities like that.
This is all down to
crappy parenting that they’re too interested in filming and filling their fat faces everyday than bother about the kids, clinging on for dear life for the 5 minutes of YouTube fame that was over 5 years ago!!
it’s so sad & I hope that the HV picks up on it next time they carry out check up for Mila. At least with new baby there will be midwife involvement in the house & a HV visit and by that point that boy will be even further delayed. It may not be immediate, but by then I really do hope something may eventually be done about it. He won’t be cute or amazing and if it’s the same HV her alarm bells should be ringing if she claimed he had amazing speech when Mila was a small baby because he hasn’t progressed. It’s cruel to leave him without intervention when his speech clarity and pronunciation are clearly not age appropriate.
Makes me so uncomfortable as a mum to teen girls myself. 
Summer time isn’t for another 4 days (longer if following the astronomical calendar).
Sarah eating as much as she can because she doesn’t drink alcohol so making up for it with food 
. How about getting off your fat ass and helping her, I still do with my teenage kids!
