I think the best place for Alf is at his grandparents because she is so awful around him. I’m beginning to feel sorry for Ada. 3 months old is when you really start to explore and react to things around you. She could be having a lovely time in the garden and she is stuck on a train, hotel and tv studio in this heat. If she talks about parenting on the programme I will lose my tit! She has no clue on how to parent.

I think she’s going to be getting paid for this one. It sounds like instead of a guest she’s going to be one of their panel members (I don’t know what to call them) where they’re in various segments discussing views of various news stories. No idea why they wanted her back tho and give her a bigger role!

No, she always comes across awful, she's not for the tv gaze 🤣
 
There’s lots of enabling going on here. Does the Nana believe Ashley’s own hype ? Does she think it’s fabulous that she has a “ daughter in law” who’s on television? Or is she actually worried about Alf and Ashely’s inability to manage him alone let alone 2 children?

Also what’s the score with her own mother, this constant praise of the in-laws and never any mention of her parents ( not that I’ve noticed) ? Is there some history there that might explain why Ashley is like she is?

@Rainbow1 you make a good point - she wasn't on her own, she had a friend with her..so really, she still hasn't been on her own.

What she really means is Alf was being a normal 2 year old running around etc and she couldn't cope. It's not like he could sit at the table and eat as I bet she didn't order lunch for him. If it was that bad, you'd pack up and come home, not expect someone else to take him so you continue doing what you want.

She wanted lunch in this lovely setting, sitting with her mate, both holding babies who can't move.

Probably didn’t have cheese and watermelon on the menu

She booked Tommy a flight home early. Can you IMAGINE if that were the other way around?! She’d be livid!

Hasn’t he got the balls to say no!!!
 
I think her mum disowned her after Ash got her to star in a chocolate advert with her 🤣

Seriously though, I don't think she has a great relationship with them. Off to boarding school at 8, Uni, living in France, moving to London - she's never really had to be with them. They run a B&B I think and look after the Granny so guessing they expect their 35 year old daughter to be able to fend for herself.

I think Ashley thinks the in laws are great because they have Alf whenever. But like you say, maybe they do it for his benefit. Or maybe Tommy gets it in the neck from her a lot and so they do it for him?

Then in turn, because her own parents don’t drop everything to pander to her and the decisions that she has made (ie having 2 kids she can’t cope with) she thinks they’re awful x
 
Tbh if she was at boarding school, studying then living abroad it's, no wonder she parents like she does and palms Alf off because her childhood was pretty similar tbf by sounds of it.

Also, this response she had.. Can someone tell me how bf a baby is more restrictive, more restrictive than bottle feeding? Feeding a baby full stop will be restrictive either way... Have I read it wrong because having struggled to bf I am a bit over sensitive how the breast is always best narrative etc...(which I don't disaagree with BTW)

I think they mean because nobody else can do it.
(& fed is best!) xxx
 
“He’s teething”

😂😂 I literally can’t!! This boy would have 7 rows of teeth by now if he was teething that much. I wonder what the excuse will be when he’s still behaving the same at 4?
The answer to Alf’s ‘disruptive’ behaviour is obviously too much iPad and not enough parental attention.

Yeah true, but if you are out on your own you are still in the situ with a bottle. Having had twins and a toddler I always had an excuse to have back up, especially when they were all running around the park in different directions 😉😂😂😂

I think at 12 weeks and never been on your own with both children for a couple of hours at the very least is a bit of a joke tbh. You just have to crack on. Poor Alf is going to really suffer with rejection ad resentment I imagine.

I haven’t formula fed and trying to be sensitive 😅 but breastfeeding meant I had to be the one tethered to baby, I couldn’t leave them with anyone else until they were much older and had a more established feeding routine/ate enough solids. Two out of three babies wouldn’t feed in public at all, none have ever taken a bottle. I don’t know if I’m missing that user’s point?? If you’re out solo you’re the one that has to feed baby regardless of whether it’s boob or bottle. If you’re with a partner/family member/friend you could have someone else feed the baby a bottle, so it’s less restrictive in that sense.

That said, I went out solo with multiple kids once my new babies were six weeks old (once I could drive post c-section). Not going anywhere solo with kids for six months is bizarre and breastfeeding is not an excuse.
 
What a load of bollocks about people tutting at her with her bags and buggy etc! It’s literally nothing new whatsoever to see babies and prams on public transport. No one cares. She carries on as if she’s the only person to do it and there are no other babies or children on the same train! People can be pretty distracted living their own lives but if you need help, you can say, ‘would you mind giving me a hand up these stairs?’ and I find it incredibly difficult to believe anyone would say ‘no you bleep, you shouldn’t have had kids if you can’t cope’

which actually would be quite an accurate insult 😂

So sorry if repeating.. but claims she's not lifted alf for 12 (borderline 16) whole weeks due to her no one's ever had a harder and more difficult c section recovery, but shes now able to lift and ferry her very much wanted baby girl along with her gifted pushchair and all the baby bags up flights of stairs because, shock horror some folks are too busy themselves juggling their belongings and kids and phones and work bags to not be able to assist miss booked my fella a flight to my current location because I can't parent solo and my assistant is actually having a day off from her management agency to assist!!

It’s such horseshit. Plus you can see in the background of the photo on the super busy tube that only 1 person is standing up!! No one who is regularly in London would refer to that as busy!

She just makes up these situations so she can use it as material.
Like duck did she carry her bags and the dooona up stairs! NOT A CHANCE
