The sister makes me cringe. She tries to be like Nicki on camera but it’s just awkward.
Just wanted to put an alternative take on all the baby comments out there...
I've had 3 babies and each time I never felt the need to be prepared, nurserys ready, house all stocked up nor did i feel the need to only focus on the impending birth.
It didnt mean I was in denial, nor didnt love my baby nor did it mean i was under any illusion that my life would change & my house might be a little untidy.
I just dealt with it in a low key way.
I have a nice house with nice things, and my kids didnt slobber, tit or wreck everything the way people seem to be putting out as a given. Not saying this is always the case...but in my experience my kids didnt do this.
What im just putting out there, is a different approach/ perspective that people have when having babies.
We aren't all the same...some feel comfort in being incredibly prepared...some people arent overly bothered.
I was pretty laid back, knew my husband could get us anything we needed - but appreciate others aren't.
I also sent my sister to buy lots of the baby stuff. I knew she would love this...i knew i wouldn't. And it wasn't a precursor to not bonding with my children. I just knew she had the time & interest ...& I didnt.
Just a different pov from me.
Men are just as capable.
I dont think we should be putting her down for taking time out & doing fun things before her baby comes.
Just find it really surprising the attitudes from women on the roles & expectations of other women - in particular pregnant ones!

Also...just wondering why there seems to be such a focus on Nikki doing these tasks? Why does she have to do the traditionally 'womens' tasks of cleaning, shopping tidying?

I'm curious, why was it OK for you to not have a nursery ready, but not Nikki? What's money got to do with it? Not a dig, genuine question.
She’s a self proclaimed “interiors” guru/her whole business is focused on interior design, she spends endless time & money decorating and redecorating rooms in her house that never get used - she had a dining table in her house that was NEVER used yet was always fully set up with flatware, glasses, linen etc - just gathering dust. Yet she’s not doing a single thing at all to prepare a space in her home from her child? She talks about money all the time - she just spent over 6 THOUSAND POUNDS on a few dining chairs.
Nicki is the one at home - Mark is out, presumably at work so yes, my comments were aimed at Nicki seeing as she’s the one at home. I never said men weren’t capable. Nor do I think that either.
Nicki has stated herself that she/they are in denial/shocked/not prepared for this baby; she’s said that she’s ignored it and has not thought about it. Comments here are based on what she herself shares either explicitly or via what she shows herself doing online. The comments here aren’t aimed at you or the general population!

Let’s all move on now. Arguments derail the thread for others - Please read our rules and why they're important
Thank you for the bold font @BettyCrockerr
However, I disagree.
Whilst you say these comments are only about Nikki, you are making assumptions that are very similar to lots of peoples experiences.
I see lots of other personal experiences have been posted on this thread that are never challenged but a single one that disputes this narrative is!

100% agree with this. I find it wild people claiming that all children wreck things and draw on walls etc. The only baby proofing I did was remove the living room table to give us more space to play and put up stair gates (which I don’t actually need- my daughter could safely get up and down the stairs at 10 months). I think it’s ur parenting style how wild ur children end up. I taught my wee girl early on what’s not for touching and not to break things. Nikki is very capable of doing the same! She doesn’t need to rearrange her entire house.
Same my son hasn't wrecked anything, he's 3 now. We removed any 'home accessories' from his level when he was on the move so he couldn't pull anything down on himself but now he knows what's mummy's and what he's allowed.
Our nursery was painted light grey as we were planning on selling so kept neutral and stuck up some framed prints. The cot was just storage for stuff we were gifted til 6 months then moved him into his own room... where he sleeps all night.
I still get a lie in on the weekends because we take turns or he sleeps til 8/9 anyway. Not everyone has little terrors who draw on walls and wake up at 5am.
Actually looking forward to her having this baby and getting her take on motherhood... although dreading if she's gonna go back to the keytone MLM spiel as I haven't missed that at all from her account.

If you only have one kid who’s perfect at just a year old don’t have any more then, because your 2nd one will be wild and it’s duck all to with parenting style with a toddler, they don’t say you need eyes in the back of your head for nothing.
Can you guys set up your own thread to
Discuss your immaculate houses with your silent immobile children? Cheers.

My first child made me think I could be a good parent and have my tit together. My second child put paid to that silly notion LOL
My first child was impeccable....pure Disney themed. Absolute toffee, I had this!
Second child, a mere 18 months later.
said gorgeous child once didn't sleep for 3 weeks! My sleeping pattern was altered for all time.
People's experiences are different that's for sure and that's life.
Couldn't give a duck about her shite tbh....my beef is she's a liar. No big deal, I just don't like them.

She will still be pregnant in 2023 … just stay there wee one I’m not done with the Reno
I’m just waiting for her to start mainlining that crappy rose wine the second the baby is born. She’s such a lush, she’ll probably have a bottle of Moët open before they’ve cut the cord!
