Check your privilege Caroline 🙈. You are in your pjs on the couch or in bed numerous days midweek, you can close your work laptop with no consequence to take your son to a pet farm , you had a childminder and a grandparent both helping you this week as well as your husband working from home and on hand to help . Your Mam came up a few weeks ago to help you and cooked valentines dinner for you and Barry . You jumped on a plane home to Mammy last week where she cooked for you , ran you baths while you sipped Prosecco and cried on her shoulder . Meanwhile the rest of the adult population are juggling full-time jobs , parenting , kids with additional needs , health issues , financial issues etc , many with no help .
Stop recording your gorgeous little boy and moaning about how hard he is to parent. Imagine the damage to his self esteem in later years if he came to know that his mother recorded his every move , including him taking a bath and told thousands of complete strangers on a daily basis how difficult he was and how much he affected her mental health .
 
I went back to beginning of thread and found these posts really sad.

I think C must have been 3 months or so? I think he was born in August?

Why was he on a 4 hour feeding schedule? My natural instinct was to feed my baby whenever she wanted and be led by her, if I had lacked these instincts (people can do), then that is what health visitors advised us to do too?

My daughter was on 1.5 - 2 hourly feeds (combi fed, more formula early on though) until 5 months when she started wanting to go longer.

Also mentions independent napping, why even try at that age unless it comes naturally to baby? It’s just going to stress both of you out. It’s not like she doesn’t have the time, or has other children to split her time between?

What’s with the comments about the poking and prodding too? That makes me feel weird the idea of her doing that and it irritating him.

Oh my god 100pc.....the shite this one goes on with, is she actually parenting him alone ever anyway, the childminder is there then the husband so ya if she was all alone she'd know about it! Lord above.

Wtf is with that picture before the meltdown.....like did she know there was gonna be a delay with pancakes, please tell me it was just a random Photo and not a staged pic for content.
 
She’s such a boring self absorbed spoilt woman-child … always time to rub her face and put on face masks and make up etc on her. Even if he is stuck to her 24 7 … get into bed and sleep while he sleeps . I have a new born and a 3 year old and am not “Hardly able to stand” today like she’s claiming . She’s wishing the years away. They fawn over him 24 7. The mother , grandparents , childminder the husband - leave him be and crack on and stop ✋. Also if your at a restaurant that you have to wait for pancakes with a needy toddler come prepared before there’s a “meltdown”. I would always have a couple of healthy snacks , ipad , some magnetic blocks etc if dining out to avoid “meltdowns” . Such idiots herself and the wet wipe husband. Three year olds are wayyy worse than 2 year olds from my experience - he’s going to be a nightmare going to nursery in sept . His “amygdala” to be reset …. LAUGH OUT LOUD. He needs boundaries and a normal mother who doesn’t take his tit and jump to his demands or else a mother to bring him for an assessment if it’s all true and it’s not her parenting - one or the other .
 
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone on social media, or in real life, to have so much excessive self pity. She feels so sorry for herself constantly and acts like she didn’t create this whole shitshow herself. Reap what you sow comes to mind, lie in the bed you made Caroline
 
He is definitely on the spectrum. I really feel for her having a child with additional needs and he does seem to be quite challenging. But whether he is on the spectrum or not, she needs to get her own life back and stop pandering to his every request. Because she is self employed she can stay by his side all day. But any other working mother would simply have to go to work and with time the child would get used to it. Just like he got used to sleeping in his own room when she sleep trained him. Its the same thing. Nobody could stick what she is doing now it isn't good for him or her
 
I don't like the image that she is portraying about motherhood and toddler tantrums. Yes it is very tiring but the key thing is that the love for your child and the fun by far outweighs the negative side of feeling tired and maybe having less time to do the things you used to. I work full time with a long commute to work and have an 18 month old at home.
I am constantly tired but at the same time because of my daughter I feel the happiest that I ever have in my whole life. She's not without her tantrums and neediness obviously but if I was to harp on and on in all my social media's about what a pain in the arse it is, it would only be destructive not only for me but for my husband and most importantly for her. Toddlers are very intuitive and can really pick up on negative vibes - they need a calm and emotionally mature presence to help them feel safe and grounded.
She is putting out a horrible image to anyone who might be an expectant mother - and I have a feeling that a lot of the women who follow her might like her because they may have struggled with anxiety issues (that was the reason I initially followed her). But watching her stories would unlock more fear and anxiety if you were to buy into that nonsense. I am going to have to unfollow now I think because it is getting insufferable.
 
I followed Caroline briefly when Caelan was born, beacuse we were pregnant at the same time and out baby boys were born maybe a month apart. I unfollowed her pretty quickly as I couldn’t relate to the constant pity and moaning. I recently refollowed as having a toddler (possible boys), they are hard work and crazy, melt downs are inevitable but he seems like a very normal baby boy. We hear about all these melt downs and clingy ness but she has time to set up a camera to record on one occasion and film on her phone…..I know when my toddler is kid a perfectly age appropriate meltdown the last thing you would consider is where is my phone to record. He is playing up to what he wants…..if in fact any of this is happening at all! Mostly we see her looking sad and crying or putting on her make up!
 
I still haven’t seen anything out of the ordinary in terms of toddler behaviour. She’s sitting on the stairs filming that he is looking for her. My kids do the exact same but I don’t react the way she does. I let them come up and then I’ll let them know what I’m doing and when I’ll be down. Or I’ll invite them to sit and watch or just stay with me while I do something. Fairly normal!! I’m pretty sure I was always looking for / wanted to hang out with my mum too!!! I think it’s more how she reacts and responds!

Agree completely. I think it's all bring over dramatised for content!
 
I have really, really tried to reserve judgement but my god her mammy has come up to her again! She has no idea how very lucky she is. What I would do to be in that position. She has her husband, her in laws, her childminder and now her mammy to help. My daughter is the same age as her son and it is hard, hard work but as previous posters have said a lot of it is normal toddler behaviour. Is it annoying sometimes when you just need 2 secs to yourself and they follow you from room to room? Yes, but just get on with it - give them something to potter with in the room you're in whilst you crack on. I feel like she makes it all so much more dramatic and overwhelming for herself. There is no need to film/narrate every drama. She should step away from social media for a while for herself and for her son.
 
She definitely needs to step away from social media. She seems to be going through a very public mental break at the moment. That has very little to do with her sons behaviour and more to do with her own. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old. Today i left the baby gate open for the toddler to come up to me when I'm getting ready upstairs and he called me a few times and went up and down. Meanwhile baby woke from her nap and sat on the bed playing with the hairdryer and 100 hair ties! All kids are the same. They're as difficult as we make them really

I think that clip of her mother brushing her hair explains EVERYTHING. It gives a good insight into the root cause of the whole issue. Caroline’s mommy raised a spoilt snowflake who cannot cope with parenting one child and has meltdowns constantly herself . Then she wonders why her 2 year old is a nightmare. How about she just lets him potter around the house after her - why the hell not. My 3 year old will potter around the house with me all day and I really don’t mind it and actually enjoy it !She is just so desperate to have “me time” that it becomes a fixation and the boy knows she’s constantly trying to get away so he then gets anxious and over does the following . I cannot imagine being that needy to have my “mommy”come up to me and cry and brush my hair - it’s just so odd and creepy . We all have tit days with toddlers usually people have a bottle of wine at the end of it or a bath or a treat - she’s just over doing it. Nothing in today’s clip was that abnormal for a toddler - she just can’t cope with taking care of anyone other than herself
