Ah thank you @Rags2Riches , i genuinely had no idea and wouldn't have been able to work it out
- how tragic of her ...I just can’t get over how this woman starts going on about Halloween from the 1st September but then on actual Halloween it’s radio silence.
Where is the pumpkin patch visit, her kids are old enough for a fright night. Pumpkin carving competition, Halloween inspired outfits, tween outfits as they still go trick n treating, food ideas…but no radio silence.

All too much like effort , she's completed Halloween in her simple little brain and is onto Christmas or Easter...I just can’t get over how this woman starts going on about Halloween from the 1st September but then on actual Halloween it’s radio silence.

It's mad, isn't it? Her Halloween consists of mugs and outfits and that's it. It's mad how little actual Halloween things they do.
And tomorrow it will be some awful reel about how Christmas is coming.

Halloween is a huge day in our house! I’ve just been out decorating the house in spiders and had a babs moment as a dog walker complimented me on my 6ft spider!

She’s sulking. I hope the littlest E is off to a party and has some fun as there will be some stomping and bathroom tears in babs towers

She's been odd and quiet since the start of HT. And not winning that podcast prize.

She never does anything age appropriate with her kids. She infantalises her husband, too.
Halloween years ago aged 15 & 5 (my kids are adults now) my two dressed up as a witch & a werewolf and my eldest took my youngest trick or treating in the cul-de-sac we lived in at the time. My husband crept into the back of our car & cracked the window open a bit so he could hear them coming back, waiting in silence. It was pitch black and as they walked up the driveway past the car, he let out the loudest "grrrrrr-ahhhhhhhhh!". They aPsolutely crapped themselves
but they loved it. You never see Babs or that cold wet fish of a husband of hers doing anything fun like that with the E's.Another Longtime Lurker

I think she is genuinely lost about what to do with them now they’re older and starting to assert their own ideas, BUT mostly I think she’s like this as she’s never grown up, and because she’s so isolated and has no grasp on life outside her own bubble. Oh, and because she’s a mahoosive control freak!She never does anything age appropriate with her kids. She infantalises her husband, too.

I’ve really felt like the CONSTANT mention of the kids being older is her way of being passive aggressive and sulking because they haven’t done what she’s wanted to do. They left her to queue up alone, slept in, didn’t sound like she went swimming? And they’ve never bothered to go into Paris before, plus there’s been no mention of her gaslighting Ethan into believing he’s too scared of rides.
I watched a few minutes of the vlog and she was talking about the kids being older and picking their clothes and said “because I can’t pick what I want to now” - she probably let Erin choose and then reminded her that she probably won’t fit in those clothes much longer.

Sounds like Babs is struggling to let go of the control she had over the kids when they were younger. She will have hated this half term, I bet the week Erin had off before Ethan she saw her friends more than Babs and now they are back home the kids will want to be with their friends.
My son got back from staying at his dad's yesterday at 2.30pm, by 3.30pm he was off to his mates house. You just accept this is life and the joys of kids growing up and becoming their own people. Babs forgets they are their own people.

I think when she's one on one with the kids it's not as bad, but as soon as they are out as a family and the kids want to go on rides etc with Ste then she's completely left out.
I bet she was told them they could all go off on a ride or sleep in AS LONG AS THEY MET HER LATER FOR A CHARACTER PHOTO. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall on their holiday.

I really struggle when people can't accept their kids growing up and changing. It's LITERALLY your job as a parent to watch them grow and help them become a great human!

I understand when people struggle with kids leaving home etc, but she still spends every day with them! She needs to get a grip, and realise that seeing your kids grow up is a privilege that not everyone gets. And maybe she would get more time with them if she didn't send them off to bed at 6pm

We went to Disney this week and the parks were super busy! I was on Bab watch but I didn’t spot her. The Queue for jack and sally was around 2 hours, totally ridiculous to queue for that amount of time! And it definitely sounds like she queue jumped! This happened to us on a ride the other day where people held spaces just behind us and came through an emergency exit and just joined the queue and proceeded to push in front of us! I just stood there not letting them through! I thought it was so rude and really not in good spirit! So very pathetic that she does this too!

I’m just so happy for little E that he’s allowed to go on the rides now and isn’t forced to sit with her.
Since he’s now joining the other two on rides, I think that’s confirmation of what we already knew was bollocks - that little E doesn’t like big rides and always wanted to sit with her.
