"If your child is being a bit of a dick" and misspelled his own daughters name.

I know I've said this before but one thing I do like about mother of 5 boys is that she has never spoken negatively about her kids. She might say she's tired, but it's always just been how much of a joy they are. Personally having grown up hearing how much of a burden you are you do start to internalize it.

She had a story today about how to help one of her son's regulate his emotions, because he gets overwhelmed. Fod would have turned it around to it just being a typical meltdown and filmed a crying twin.

Urgh he makes me sick

Just wow. I would never do that to a child at Christmas. Can't believe how smug he is about scaring his child like that. He's getting some push back in the comments too, though he'll probably delete those soon...

Looks like he’s turned off comments but kept the post up! What was the reaction? I couldn’t listen to it after seeing his stories. It sounds so mean and he’s uncomfortably pleased with himself.

I can still see the comments. I've screencapped a few and I'll post them on here when I've had chance to pixel out the usernames etc. One of them points out that being considered "naughty" for not eating dinner could lead to eating disorders. I still have bad memories of being forced to eat things I really didn't want to eat at primary school. FOD has shown time and again he's not sensitive re: food issues.
 
A selection of the critical comments (there are others, but I haven't included them all), plus bonus Smuggy Smugface being so proud of himself:

I’m with you on the memories from primary school - they’re really vivid and have stayed with me, especially the being forced to finish food or not being allowed to leave the hall. It really exacerbated my fussy eating as a child (which was in part the result of ENT issues). It’s something I’m really conscious with my own children about. One is fussy, the other isn’t but I don’t demonise the fussy one.

Also this screenshot you shared made me internally groan a bit - their comment is valid but this isn’t the first time the twins have been extorted is it? It’s been happening since the moment they’ve been born really.

I'm sorry to hear the same happened to you @EddieBeds, and I had the same thought about that extortion comment too. Not to mention those poor kids are encouraged to "play up" half the time (for the camera) and then publicly chastised/shamed if they do it when it's not convenient for him.

I saw a reference to "santa cam" in the comments and yes, apparently that's a thing. You can buy fake cameras to install at home to make your kids think an old beardy man is watching them 24/7 and judging them (much like Simon does for real as a matter of routine with the video camera in the twins' bedroom). Not at all weird and creepy?

A few people insulting the critical commenters (the terms "Karens" and "snowflakes" being used) even though one person has explained they have adopted children with trauma issues and others have said they have neurodiverse children who wouldn't be able to handle it. Ugh. Gross to see how many people are drooling with glee about the prospect of using it on their own children.

Also, the word "genius" seems to appear a disproportionate amount in the comments so perhaps keyword engagement pods or custom bought comments are back (if they ever went away).

The sad thing is that the twinnies have been filmed for the past 5 years, there was no life before instagram for them that they can remember unlike the older two girls.
