I cynically wonder is she deliberately letting his speech be so bad to support some sort of financial support or claim.The child literally doesn't know the word for night.Most kids would have heard nighty night or goodnight twenty thousand times by this stage.
Speech Therapy wouldn't suit her aesthetic.It's not as exciting as a worrying smear result or "major surgery" so no attention factor.It requires routine and work (again Naw naw naw).Also she wouldn't be able bear an educated professional woman "talking down" to her.She only brings them to activities where it's dump & dash.
What was that show-casing of his speech today about? Deliberately engaging him in conversation over an ipad when normally she serves them the breakfast on one and it's their pillow? What was her agenda? What ever the reason the poor child is in a bad way.Speech(pronounciation) and language(very limited vocabulary)are both in serious,urgent need of addressing.
How can you learn to read if you cannot sound out words and letter or you have no idea of the meaning of the words you are reading?
How much money
has she spent in the past while on eating out,takeaways and coffees??
Have the kids ever sat together at home at a table with cutlery?
She lied to Paula deliberately about the wrong date to get a kip.Big wow if she has a bad night's sleep.She would suffer it for a baby Guinness not her actual baby.Manys the morning I went to work and faced a days work half dead before coming home to actually be a mother.
