I don’t want to be too netmums about this but I disagree… I wouldn’t want a nanny looking after my children, just because she’s rich doesn’t mean she automatically wants to palm her kids off to someone elseI knew there was a Swiss finishing school but didn’t know about Millfield.
The odd thing has always been that she has the resources to have a live out nanny, live in nanny, au pair or daily mother’s helper, but instead she insists on doing everything herself. Now she’s admitting her kids have missed out on opportunities and she ‘gives herself a hard time about it’.
Imagine being able to give your kids lots of lovely extracurriculars and not have to worry about the cost, but don’t because you are such a control freak you can’t have a daily mother’s helper for a couple of hours each afternoon then your kids go to bed at a normal time.
I actually don’t recall her ever mentioning play dates either except the one time another influencer visited and her kids trashed the joint.
No one should ever be cheated on, but I imagine Liv is hard work. She’s said so herself. We’ve also seen her kids behave in demanding and entitled ways. Maybe they could do with some clubs?
But Liv’s not a Club Mum; she’s a Cocktail Mum. Cool, babe.

There is definitely a middle ground and she could well afford that. She really should have hired some help. Perhaps something like post partum depression was at play?
Possibly! And coupled with lockdown/covid times
Maybe it’s because I’m poor AF that the thought of bringing in someone to help feels so unnatural to me
Maybe if she took her kids to clubs they’d be tired enough to not wake her up at 5am 
Not judging the no clubs btw apart from swimming lessons my kids have never done any clubs except school ones.

Maybe she should have had a number of children she finds manageable then?
I’d really argue that a couple of hours of daily help ‘isn’t palming your kids off to the nanny’ but you are right, that’s very Netmums and this is Tattle.
I agree. She has so much money and time, I don’t understand why she wouldn’t get them involved in extra curricular stuff. It’s so good for them - depending what they do of course but discovering passions, often exercise, lots of socialising. She is very fortunate and could offer them a lot of opportunities, she doesn’t work so doesn’t even have that as an excuse!I knew there was a Swiss finishing school but didn’t know about Millfield.

It really hasOh this thread has turned into mumsnet. Excellent
If I had that kind of money I would at least have someone helping me daily with cleaning and laundry and maybe even some of the cooking
Really agree on the first point. She seems to have bitten off more than she could chew, having 4 so close together in age. Similar to Laura Wills, the fashionbug blog who has also got divorced recently- 4 kids under 6 . It puts an enormous strain on a marriage. There tends to be a higher divorce rate in families where there are 3 or 4 kids than 1 or 2. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out why.
Agree on the no. of kids but I maybe the husband wanted a son and that’s why they went for a 3rd and got twin girls instead
That’s pure speculation by the way based on several friends who had two daughters and whose husbands pushed for a 3rd to try have a boy.

The twins were her second pregnancy and most days when they were tiny she looked like she really could have done with some help.
In response to this thread has turned into Mumsnet, it’s generally a Livvy sycophant thread, despite there being a rave thread elsewhere on Tattle for her.
I find Liv just as problematic as every other influencer. I know way too much about her and her children’s lives. Certainly prior to her divorce, she didn’t need the influencing money and it’s likely it is still pin money post divorce.
Privacy is so underrated.

Aah yes you’re right - Margot was the last baby. Personally I would have been petrified of having another set of twins so I would have stopped procreating at that point
As someone who actually went to swiss finishing school for 13 years I have personally put my kids through the local swim curriculum- HOWEVER i dreaded swimming nights and the chaos it would cause *husband worked away and we have 3 kids. Sorry to be all mumsnet i just wanted to give the perspective as no matter the money - or education- swimming lessons are a witch (though i suppose also a non negeotiable)
Do we dare mention music lessonsI didn't know swim classes were such a sensitive topic ,,,
It is Olympic bar a cm. They mucked up the sizing and then couldn't use a single record because it was 10mm shy! Got to laugh...
It’s not the swimming lessons really, it’s what they represent. She gives the impression she’s ‘too cool’ to be an authoritative parent and those kids get to basically do whatever they want.I didn't know swim classes were such a sensitive topic ,,,
If there was an ‘influencer’ posting on social media that her kids still had bottles at that age, they didn’t bother with any classes, kids will just learn to swim on their own, and the same amount of ‘cocktail mum’ content as she posts, but they were in a council house, people would say they were a tit mum.
It’s only socially acceptable (and even admirable!) because she’s the holy trifecta of thin, white and wealthy
Anyone else no interest in seeing the back of the girls heads every post. Nice scenery but I wouldn't even send that many pics to my mother and she adores her grandkids. Ps. I've 4 and we're allowed moan about how hard it is. I'm against the thought of you shouldn't have had so many if you can't cope. Livs girls are very very well looked after but it is hard work all the same. She'll reap the rewards when they're older.
