Off all the unhinged behaviour she has displayed cheese & tuna in a pancake is the most concerning 😂

What age is isla??? Surely she must now have friends or people the tear above with phones what an awful picture to share online presumably without her permission
I came here to say the same thing!!
She’s in year 4 at school so 7/8 years old/ish? Certainly an age that her peers have access to YouTube.

My daughter is 10 years old and starting senior school in September. All of her friends have smart phones, iPads, laptops etc and she would be mortified if I let anyone other than her aunts and Nanna’s see photos like that pancake photo of Isla. That’s a cute photo to send to Rob, not to share with the faceless masses of the web. Thankfully my OH is a programmer and has been completely anti-sharing anything kid related online since day 1. I feel so sorry for kids growing up and having friends (and bullies!) seeing all their innocent childhood photos and vlogs about potty training them 😬

It was bad enough when my mum got out the old photo albums to show my best friend or boyfriend, never mind every future boss having access to them!

Yep my youngest 12 is the same. Knows his rights and doesn’t want to be plastered all over social media. One of the main reasons I came off Facebook

She’s got the itty bitty baby cutlery out for Lachlan again. What is she worried will happen if she gives him normal cutlery? We all know he can use it so why does she keep giving him the tiny baby cutlery?!

It’s probably for a stupid reason like he can only move on from toddler cutlery once she has baby number 3 on the way

Not only does the poor kid have baby cutlery but his mother insists on broadcasting it to thousands via her social media account. The age of social media really has shown so many people up to be massive bores hasn’t it!

The baby cutlery for the kids is in the same vein as her using tiny side plates and bowls for her own “meals” of rice krispies etc - its all tied up with her disordered eating. Small dishes and baby cutlery equates to small food portions. She’s obviously got some mental block regarding letting the kids eat normal portions of food on appropriate dishes with appropriate silverware.

Because he is mama’s baba. And if she does this then mama can pretend that she still has a baby. Because babies somehow make her feel more like a mama than older children, even though this baby wasn’t a ‘good’ baby, so she has to make up a new extended baba stage so she can enjoy being a mama to a baba.

And of course, baby content and brand work is very compelling for the insta huns.

She is the one of the last “instamums” to still have some kind of “mama/bump” name. All of the others have rebranded and found a new niche. Lara is now some finance guru, Jess is a journal coach, Lucie does fashion.
Sarah is still trying to cling on to ThisMamaLife even though her audience has moved on. She’s still trying to edit vlogs from a year ago FFS. Does she really think anyone cares to watch them?

Why would she even bother with a vlog from a year ago? The kids will have changed so much since then, no one probably gave a tit at the time and even less so now

I wonder how often is she skipping meals? It’s really rather worrying.
I sometimes don’t feel like eating with the children, especially when my husband is at sea. However, eggs on toast, baked potato or even just pasta with sauce and veg. None of these things create much washing up and she has a dish washer so it’s not really a drama!

Has she said anything more about how being at home on her own with the children rather than in Scotland has been increasing her anxiety?
