I can’t believe Lazy filmed Jace “sharing” the blueberries. He is such a spoilt horrible child. He’s also probably bored and frustrated spending all of his time with his baby sister. There are two parents at home, split the kids up, take him for a walk or to the park one on one. For crying out loud, take him and Prinny for a daily walk!
Jace had become reluctant to sit down and “learn”. He’s only recently turned four. He doesn’t need to do structured learning and he’s probably bored out of his mind with the same seven thousand colour and number recognition ‘tools’ Lazy buys and prints off.
For number and letter recognition you should incorporate learning into real life situations. Take him to the supermarket, get him to pick up six apples and a bunch of bananas. Teach him to read the price signs. If he pulls out a number puzzle during play, get down on his level and make a game out of it. Count the stairs as you walk up and down. It’s not bloody rocket science.
Oh my God, she’s doing the exact same sticking and labelling she’s been doing since she started “schooling” the kid. Let him stick and write the numbers on, that would engage him and help with dexterity. It’s like she’s decided she’s a nursery teacher but hasn’t got a bloody clue.
I would never have left my under two year old alone standing on a platform. If she’s eating, she should be sat down with her mother or father, not left to her own devices standing on a toddler platform at the kitchen counter over a tiled floor. In a few short months they are bringing a sixth child into this mess.
They shouldn’t be scalding Isabelle on camera for not washing up her dishes but there should be routine where the older children have chores and the dishes should be included in that. When there are that many kids in a family, the parents need routine. If they had routine, they wouldn’t need to constantly complain that the kids are as lazy, when it comes to tidying up their own mess, as their mother is.
Of course you do... and i've just seen a flying crotched pig.

She has learned basic crochet and is able to copy what she sees being made on TikTok/YouTube. She likely isn’t following a pattern per se but can do it by eye. What she is making are very simple items. Good for her.
It could be a huge learning experience for her to be taught how a business is run. She’s at exactly the right age to introduce that kind of learning. However, it would mean that the incapable parents would have to learn in order to teach her, and guide her in finding the information she would need. One of my kids wants to do this (not with crochet items) and I’m willing and able to put in the time, effort and money to facilitate it. This is where the Ingham adults fall flat.
