I’m not sure where you read anything about your kids’ education from what I wrote. I was simply stating a fact of education. I never stated an opinion on schooling vs homeschooling either. Again, you read in to it what you want.
this is hilarious! Why is it such a big deal that Claire only works part time? It doesn’t matter if she had a zero hour contract - so many places do now! She worked 2-3 shifts a week and then started her own business doing boot camp every morning. Those are facts, not opinions. She got paid for it whether you like it or not. Not sure what job you’re lucky enough to have but where I work you certainly don’t get anymore leave than standard just because you’ve been there a long time or love your job! As a working mum (part time 
) I actually find it odd that you would take annual leave when your children are in school. I would consider that a luxury, mine is taken in school holidays. Not a judgment, just an observation
something I can’t help but think you’d rip Claire apart for if she did itTbf she has a much much smaller channel than all those you mentioned so it’s easier for her to comment back . I don’t think she has “fans” either . You do raise a few points that are true though . She doesn’t bang on or brag about playrooms as she doesn’t have one, she doesn’t shut up about her pool though. So on that she is similar .
Probably just tired
I think there are two camps, people who have a name chosen (girl and boy if necessary) before baby comes, and who can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t choose when you have nine months (I’m in that camp!) and people like Claire who like to wait and see the baby, and don’t get why you have to rush a name.
personally I’m not that keen on Miles/Myles or Lyle, but I prefer Miles...by miles.I really dislike both of them! But I’m not a fan of Alister either to be honest. I didn’t name my girls till they were born but then like Claire kept the gender a surprise.I think there are two camps, people who have a name chosen (girl and boy if necessary) before baby comes, and who can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t choose when you have nine months (I’m in that camp!) and people like Claire who like to wait and see the baby, and don’t get why you have to rush a name.
Personally, I can’t imagine having one of my babies in my home and them not having their own name. She’s saying what’s the rush, but to me the name is the beginning of them as an individual, their own identity. I don’t get where she is coming from at all, and clearly she doesn’t get the other way.
They should just join the names and called him Lyles
I agree I think she was expecting/hoping for a girl. I get the feeling there was a tiny bit of gender disappointment going on but she seems to have warmed to the idea more now. She seemed really deflated when she announced his birth and sex on stories, it surprised me given the fact she made quite a meal out of her pregnancy with lots of posed photos.
I think she was hoping for another little mini me like violet . She has been open with all the struggles she has had with Alister and she said she found it hard to understand him.

We’ve never known the gender of our babies and always chosen the name before birth - I guess everyone just does what suits them at the time! It is a big decision so I she is better to wait and make the right one.
Theres nothing wrong being a sahm mum.
