Nope. My daughter was the dream child, it’s a shift in hormones or something. I watched her friends and my nephew go through the same thing and it was talked about on a parenting forum I used to use.

Please google childhood poverty to understand why this statement is insufferable.
Oh yes I’ve heard that thing about hormones before now you mention it
You don’t always see the bad behaviour from other people’s kids though. Just because you have seen other people’s 7yos be “good” doesn’t mean you have any real understanding of how they are in a home setting with just their parents(when children feel most safe and therefore usually act the worst). Also at least 4 people have said they have or have had a child that age and it’s their experience. So are they all wrong because you’ve never seen it in other kids?!

My 3rd child is now nearly 7 and she is the hardest of all my 4 right now!
I agree. My eldest was the dream child. So well behaved. I could have taken her anywhere and known she’d behave. It was around 7 she started with the teenage attitude too. And the “I hate you” which really does sting the first time you hear it. Now I’ve had 4 it’s water off a duck’s back! I think that’s what had upset Claire so much in that vlog.
My kids are younger, but are always best behaved around others (thank heavens. Save their devilment for home!)
I haven’t watched these vlogs of Claire’s but I can see why she’s be so upset if there seemed to be such a sudden shift in Alister’s behaviour. Going through it for the first time must be tough.
Nope. Not true at all, sorry rugratarino, but you’re clearly no expert when it comes to bambino’s.
I can’t believe how big Myles is in her recent videos 
does anyone else think the food portion sizes for Alister and violet are tiny? I’ve got a 15 year old boy who eats more than I do and I’m sure by Alister’s age he was eating almost adult sized portions

My 10 year old daughter eats an adult portion and her height and weight is spot on for her age.
I suppose it depends on each child though. Maybe he hasn’t a big appetite. My (perfectly formed!) 8yo nephew doesn’t eat huge portions, smaller than my own kids who are younger. He just isn’t a big eater
I think this too she made one cheese toastie and gave them half each . He is 10 surely half a cheese toastie one slice of bread isn’t enough .I can’t believe how big Myles is in her recent videos

She will half a packet of crisps too. I can’t decide if shes tight or hasn’t realised they are growing up.
Yeah it’s bizarre I understand totally for little kids but he is nearly as tall as her now.
I think Grahams is tiny also for a hard working man of his size.I can’t believe how big Myles is in her recent videos

All of mine age that are 7-15 would eat both halves of that toastie.
It’s sad that she feels lonely. Didn’t one of her close friends have a baby just before her?
I bet you're fun at parties
Nothing like keeping kids safe to ruin a party, eh?
I can see why she feels lonely, it’s been such a long time since she had a newborn, and it can be lonely, especially if you’re used to having your days to yourself. It is sad though
There's keeping them safe and then there's wrapping them up in cotton wool.Nothing like keeping kids safe to ruin a party, eh?

One thing I really like about Claire is that she doesn’t shy away from talking about things openly and being honest. Saying how she feels lonely and also talking about quite a taboo subject of incontinence after childbirth in her recent update is great, I think. Especially in comparison to other insta/YouTube mums who would have you think everything is rainbows and butterflies all the time. Yes she has her flaws like everyone but I do like how ‘normal’ she is. She doesn’t have an insta-perfect home or is jetting off on gifted Disney trips all the time.
