I’m quite new here(from the Hinch thread) and that was the first thing I thought when I saw Alf, so much like Ronnie (rhymes with Lennie) in his baby/toddler days. So little emotion on that beautiful little face and also, like Ronnie, the only time he actually laughed was when he was tickled.
Tenuous. But I’m taking a bingo for the LADY next to them on the plane being so lovely and empathetic. Not all women are though, Ashley. My 2yo had an epic meltdown on a flight earlier this year and the woman in front kept turning round, shooting me evils and tutting. Ever so empathetic of her don’t you think?Can’t wait for the rant about how her 1 hour delay coming home is the result of the patriarchy and how some terrible MAN came to tell her to keep Alf quiet once again.
I hope she filled his bowls up with “MeyMey” for the trip home, poor little lad will be hungry if not
Yes exactly, she makes a big deal of saying our number one rule is we never let Alf cry. Does she think other mothers are just going about their lives leaving their toddlers to cry and not console/stop them?! But she really thinks saying this makes her a great mother.
Of course he cried when he woke up to find that he was not at home with his mother but she had left him with a strange woman he hadn't got to know yet. Ashley even said at the time that she didn't necessarily need childcare from the childminder and that she was lucky that she had a choice. It's laughable to think she ever described herself as an attachment parent.
I thought you weren’t allowed to leave sleeping children at childcare after a few cases where an injured child had been left then the childcare staff being blamed when an injured child woke up/didn’t wake up. But as long as Alf is not with Ashley it’s a lovely day xWhat she means is she will leave Alf with a stranger or someone he's not comfortable with but will collect him when he starts to cry. She thinks this 'rule' of theirs is justification for putting him in situations where he will feel abandoned or anxious just so she can play a card game on her sunbed. But even then, she doesn't always stick to this rule - I've mentioned this recently but before he was settled in with his childminder she dropped him whilst he was still asleep in his buggy. I just can't imagine ever leaving my child at nursery without saying goodbye and making sure they understood I was leaving and assuring them i would be coming back
I initially speculated SEN on here and got shut down for it. In hindsight I don’t think he is, as comparing her to Hinch, she does try to help Ronnie and meets his emotional needs. Whereas Alf hardly see’s his parents and when he does it’s minimal contact or iPad parenting. That’s why he’s vacant. His food choices are Ashley’s food issues projecting onto him. At this age there’s a fine line where you can miss the boat in getting them to try new things and they just become fussy and refuse
Hmmmmm debatable, the children are always with either Jamie or Sophie's mother or neice, she's never alone with them and its clear she cannot cope with motherhood and the demands it brings. Let's not talk about her letting both Ronnie and Lennie run freely amongst livestock who are known to kick and spit - one trample could end horribly, it doesn't bare thinking about. She is so neglectful as a mother in many respects, I often find it difficult to know who is worse - Ashley or Hinch. I'm sure @Pollyanna263 could pick up on any obvious bits I've missed, her wiki on here is eye-opening to say the least.
I agree. I think Alf is developing 'normally' but they are stunting his development big time. He is stuck in front of an iPad or TV at eating times, when he should be learning social skills and watching his family model how to eat with cutlery etc. Never see him attempt cutlery with them! We just learnt that they've never even bought him a set of stacking cups! She claims not to have ever heard of them!? So she's never even bothered to research age appropriate toys for a toddler!? Says it all! I don't think he'd even seen a book until he was about 11 months old!I initially speculated SEN on here and got shut down for it.

Which Hinch thread is about Ronnie having a learning difficulty? Just had a look but all the titles are about chickens and alpacas
… yeah, still thinks she’s a political commentator … got her a gig with GB news - that’s the only channel that will have her - contract stipulates plenty of leg / cleavage exposure 
… yeah, she just Googles something & reads it out on air.. yeah mate, easy money! Got a kid now too, kept up with the boob-feeding as per my recommendation - plenty of close ups! Now all the AD revenue from him too!”
!! (Although I think you got my meaning
)

I agree with you, I feel so sorry for all these children of these instagram influencers, they have their whole little lives played out for all to see with no say in the matter, I dread to think of the possible effects it could have on them later down the line
I could identify with her when Alf was a baby, as I did cosleep, bf on demand, baby-wear, not leave my baby to cry - all the things she claims. I’m v pro responsive parenting and I’m v loud in advocating for my children’s emotional well-being. Last week was fraught in the build up to a weekend for my 3yo with his dad, who is not responsive to our child’s needs and is in fact more on the Ash page of narcissism and selfishness (honestly he is basically a male Ashley. I almost didn’t let my child go)
