What could possibly go wrong letting all the toddlers pick their own book and playdough.. they will inevitably all want the same one 😂

I though the same, that’s just inviting disaster 🤣 How will she cope when 3 of them want the same colour, or see someone else with the one they want and end up in a tantrum or lamping each other, same with the books 🤣

She really has no idea of children, does she? Remarkable, seeing as she has two herself.

Just pre fill the party bags, dipshit, then you won’t be forcing the other parents to deal with toddler tantrums when the children are tired after a party.
 
This party is going to be INTERESTING!

Its likely to be the first time she's ever seen Alf with a group of his peers. In fact, it's probably the longest she's ever spent with multiple children.

I wonder if they're the children of her friends of every occasion or mainly Tommy's friends who she doesn't spend time with?

I wonder if Rara and family have been called in on overtime to help.

 
I hope that little boy enjoys his party - can’t believe he’s waited until 3 years old to receive presents and have a party thrown for him by his own parents. It’s quite shocking really that she has actively chosen to do nothing because ‘he’s too young and doesn’t get it’. No child is too young to feel loved Ash, and Alf deserves to feel that way far more often.

yes but it's not her fault because of LOCKDOWNS and the PATRIARCHY and last year she was pregnant so couldn't possibly have been expected to throw him a party or get him a present. Too busy flying to the Maldives and posting pointless reels.
 
Wow. My just 2yo has had a trolley for almost a year now, his birthday and Xmas gifts included a scooter, a balance bike which he’ll learn to use over summer, remote control cars, paw patrol, puzzles he’s learning to sit and do etc…. And he is a year younger. Surely Lovely Day gives Alf access to older toys? Why is she buying him something that most people get their kids to help them learn to walk? Get him things to grow in to through the year, especially with Xmas and birthday so close (this is what we do). Take him round Smyths (hint - there’s one at Lakeside!) and let him choose some fun toys, I guarantee he isn’t picking a dolls house or a basic wooden trolley if given free reign!

Yep, that’s me done. Unless she has invited her stylist, hairdresser and make up artists children. Hold on
11. Josie Gibsons son.

The wooden trolley is such a waste of money if you already have a baby pushchair (or 3). Surely you can just put the same things in both. He doesn’t care if it’s wooden. She just wants him to know that men should do the shopping too.

Wtf is that wooden walker?? I thought she was going to say that’s for Ada’s birthday. Not the 3 year old 🫠

As for the party bags, tell me you barely parent without telling me.

Yes! I thought the wooden “trolley” was just pretty much a baby walker.
Also it’s because he loved the trolley when they went away to Salzburg he liked it. Not regular shopping. Maybe try taking him to Sainsbury’s and letting him put some real food in a real trolley and it might engage his interest in food, expand his vocabulary, give him some 1-1 time with Mum.

Ours had the big old paw patrol tower and vehicles, bluey figure, jigsaws and one of those screw driver/hex key etc sets for Christmas and the 3rd birthday coming up is going to be karaoke, stikkle bricks, face paint and fancy dress. Do I want it all in my house? Not really. Does My child love it? Absolutely!

Nothing says a 3 year old’s birthday like a present wrapped with brown paper and string.
He’d love one of those ride in cars to take him to the CM surely.
 
Probably nit picking here, but I’d make the most of having a fair few little bits for him to unwrap ie the house furniture. So she’s just whacking it all in.

Mine would really enjoy unwrapping it and putting the bits in the house where he thinks it might go… Why not spark his imagination?

She’s an absolute fun sponge.
 
That wooden Walker is far too babyish for a three year old. I know all kids are different but this is just ridiculous. My three year old had a proper big boys bike for his third birthday. Get him some Hot Wheels and stop trying to make your son appear ‘not like other boys’. Just let him play with what he wants, not what you want him to play with to fit in with your interiors.
Also, totally clueless with the party. Can’t wait to see who turns up considering she’s made no effort to have any play dates at all.
