I don’t get the obsession with takeaways. I would get going out for food more as it’s a sociable thing but the same takeaways constantly is ridiculous. Surely it’d be nice at H’s age to have her in the kitchen and be teaching her how to cook etc. but then of course Aimee couldn’t teach her much!
When I watch my niece and nephew I’ll have them with me doing all sorts - helping me feed the cats, folding washing, baking cakes, obvs fun stuff too, as I imagine I would most of the time with kids unless I was mega busy. The same way my partner will be in the kitchen with me doing jobs whilst I’m cooking. It’s interacting, it’s important! Just shoving her off on her tablet constantly seems so odd considering it’s just them two, they should be close and doing things together, she should be teaching her life skills.
Aimee's behaviour re Harper really has me questioning if her daughter is neurodivergant and she struggles to do basic things? Look at how she has to ask her what she wants for tea, how she has to plate up her food etc, it's just bizarre imo for a child who isn't neurodovergant to be so specific re food everyday.
Aimee implied in her sat am vlog that her week re family stuff had been hard, that made me wonder if she meant Harpers behaviour is getting harder to manage? I'm not making excuses for Aimee's behaviour, but I do just wonder if Harper is becoming more challenging to manage.
If the kid is neurodovergant, feeding her takeaways and.crap all week certainly isn't going to help either of them. Neither is never taking her anywhere other than shops and over stimulating her. It's bizarre and doesn't make sense. Being a parent means parenting a child, saying no to them, not letting them rule the house, being a parent means looking after your child's health, playing out, walking, excercising.
Everything that kid does is home centric which is like being in prison! England is an island surrounded by beaches and sea, I don't understand why the child is only allowed to go shopping to Liverpool but isn't allowed to go play at the beach, to go walking, cycling near a beach or a park.
Why doesn't she take her to her sisters at Blackpool? Massive fun and beach?
There is certainly something not right with one of them? Both of them? It's bizarre how they live in a box all week only to venture out for more food and then spend half the week ordering chemically infused takeaway junk food? What am I missing?
