My kids used to love watching Barney the Dinosaur when they were little if you've never seen it, don't start now 
! ....
they could recite the alphabet but only because they learned by rote ....took them till they were in reception class until they understood that the letters meant something more and the words in the stories I'd read to them were made up of these letters
Alf's just copying parrot fashion and is not some child prodigy ....she'd be better spending her time getting his walking seen to

Made me laugh her story on how Alf knows soooo much. He knows a song from uncle ipad.. not the alphabet. If my kid had been chucked into childcare for 1000 hours a week and in front Caties Classroom for a year and a half, I’d hope he knew half the alphabet too 
She probably wasn’t. Same as Alf wasn’t always “ teething” Ash just has banged on about her dream baby girl sleep for so long now she can’t help herself
Honestly, she only has any affection for him if he’s being a ‘genius’. Otherwise she shows disdain for him.Made me laugh her story on how Alf knows soooo much.

She’s a classic narcissistic parent: only interested when he performs and reflects well on her.
He doesn’t know his alphabet, he’s learnt a song and knows he gets praise when he demonstrates this rote learning.
he’s not interested in Ada but gets praise when he straddles her and shows “gentle hands”
it’s all performative and for ash’s benefit/sense of worth.

She’s probably just hoping he’ll be clever enough to pass the entry exams to boarding school

He does not know the alphabet, he is singing the song and copying the letters she says

Exactly this! When my kids were tiny I used to see loads of people saying they can count to X but then I heard this early years expert saying counting is fine but it's just repetition by memory. Early maths skills are attributing numbers to objects and knowing how many are actually there. This is what I do with my 3 year old now eg how many sweeties have you got. He can accurately do about 11 now. Memorising a song or a sequence is normal at Alf's age.

She’s soooo self obsessed she could be a caricature.
Those sculptures remind me of the one they steal from the step mum in Fleabag.

Imagine being a child/teenager and your mum’s got a mini sculpture of herself naked breastfeeding you on display in the house. Bloody weird.
But also interesting that she waited until 4.5 months before doing this with her ‘post partum body’ …. didnt want her 4 week PP body immortalised in bronze I take it??bleeping hell. New narc levels right there.

How sad being in your toddlers room with your other child makes you feel nostalgic about Alf as a baby, because clearly she doesn’t spend any time in Alfs room with Alf himself
Wtf is she talking about feeling nostalgic that she used to ‘spend so much time in Alf’s room’, it’s as if he’s 7 18 and moved out for boarding school uni. Just shows how little time she spends with Alf if she doesn’t even go in his room!
