Thissinglemama #6 Cat Piss, Cat Piiss, Cat Piss!!

Even my 4yo can sit in a restaurant without any sort of device. It’s worrying that rather than Harper engaging in conversation with her family, especially her cousin who’s a similar age to her, she instead sits with her face glued to a screen. Why is Aimee even allowing that? I’m not one of those “we limit screen time” mums but I do think there’s a time and a place for things like tablets and a restaurant definitely isn’t one of them

And the headphones? What's that all about?
Not exactly teaching her good manners allowing the headphones wherever they go? Bizarre!!

The headphones and tablet I can understand for sensory purposes. It would give her something to focus on and block out the surrounding sound. She doesn’t have any additional needs though apparently so doesn’t need them

As much as Aimee does my head in it’s the modern parenting way these days. They’re all lazy, shove kids into nurseries all day, they genuinely can’t deal with them and certainly can’t be bothered dealing with them. iPads are the only distraction technique they know and certainly the only one that won’t result in a massive meltdown

I disagree with this. Yes there are many parents who choose to be like this but many parents aren't like this. Her daughter is 8, my son is 8. I'm a few years younger than Aimee, but I ensure I massively interact with my son. I go to work, he goes to school and then when we're at home together, we do things together, we don't play as much now due to his age but we're always out and about, I'm a single parent myself so through the week it's mainly just me and him, we play basketball, we go up the lakes to see the ducks, we get out and exercise and get some fresh air, then we shower/bath, eat tea together, have some reading or a film then he gets an hour to do what he wants to do and yes that could be screen time before he goes to bed at 9pm. There is no excuse for her choice of parenting. It's a really bad way to bring up a child in my opinion. The only thing I've ever seen her do in her whole time on tik tok that was something for harper is take her to the fair once. The other day when she went to aldi to do her food shop, she even had her dad over to 'mind Harper'. All she ever does is shop, could she not take her child with her at least once, baring in mind her daughter was in her pyjamas all day with unbrushed hair & probably not even washed. She neglects her child completely.

I’m not disagreeing with you, there are a lot of parents out there that do parent properly and use discipline to ensure their children behave I.e. in the supermarket. But a lot these days can’t be arsed, like Aimee. She would rather have a babysitter than take her child to the supermarket.
I was like you, I had no choice but to take my children to the supermarket and when they were there they behaved and if they didn’t they would face the consequences. Children these days are ruined.

And my kids always had screen time, and lots of it!! Just not at dinner with earphones on and certainly not in a restaurant. The generation coming through are so fecked it’s worrying.

I think most parents are like this hence why we all find Aimee so offensive. I couldn’t disagree more that all parents are lazy and that children are ruined I think that’s a really bold statement to be making. Each to their own.

Her whole lifestyle of bizarre...what have we seen her do with Harper that doesn't involve alcohol and twit hat???
Very little...the trip to London was.prpb closest to " normal" apart from her nearly dying from.travel sickness and being in a crappy hotel( ok the drama!)
Harper never seems to have play dates....we say this constantly?
Aimless never appears to take her on any of her many shopping sprees .
It.all seems weird and chaotic?
We only see minutes out of her day she will say in response, but it's not hard to read between the lines....it just seems weird...very weird
