Gemma Louise Miles #17 Happiest when her toddler’s in bed, she prefers her velcro baby instead

I don’t know about anyone else but this is the weirdest description of creating magic with your children. It’s just so creepy or fake or something? Forcing some family tradition. They’re also way too little to even understand or appreciate what’s going on. So bizarre she overthinks/plans everything that might be a nice idea and makes it all so clinical. It’s all just for content and how it looks because she sees it on TV and not actually for her kids

Absolute weirdness.

She doesn't seem to understand the concept of traditions. Things that are spontaneous and genuine, that are so loved by children or the family that you decide to do it every year. It's not something you copy out of a movie or tv, and force upon your very small children. Same with the bloody easter baskets and boo boxes and what not when they are barely aware about anything....
I'm waiting for the yearly "tradition" of going to Centre Parcs so she can deck everyone out in matching pjs for the gram and traumatize the small kiddos with overwhelming lights and moving and singing animatronics...
Everything she thinks of is so forced and curated it gives me the ick.

Oh and Jamie is driving around Jonah again so he can get his morning nap... must be nice to have gas to burn like that in a guzzling range rover for nonsense like that... Got forbid you comfort your child and ease them into napping, that takes time after all and we need to cut up fake branches to decorate. JFC.

I very much doubt Noah would suss anything! Going by what we see of him the poor lad doesn’t have much of a clue about anything!
 
I agree with what everyone else is saying. Nothing seems natural with her, everything is forced and carefully curated. There's no room for natural, un-forced and organic moments in that household or their childhood. I think Gemma will get more out of this weird idea of motherhood when they are both slightly older, have interests and can understand things more. It seems that the toddler stage is completely flooring her. What Noah needs is attention, lots of encouragement, engagement and play. I'm in no way trying to criticise her. It's hard enough being a mum as it is. My little boy is 3 and he really struggles with his speech, even though iv read to him every day since he was born and tried to encourage him and been to see specialists. All kids develop on their own timescale. But she needs to shift her focus more on what the children need now. This isn't her childhood anymore, its theirs. And if she stopped making everything so picture perfect she would see that the imperfect things are usually the best. She needs to be in the moment more instead of all this daft tradition stuff and spending money on things that the kids won't even remember. I'm sure she loves them both but trying to recreate the nostalgic days of Christmas past from her own childhood isn't doing anyone any favours
Let your hair down Gemma, get some colour on you all and do some messy play. Go walk in the muddy fields and splash in some puddles. Get some bloody fresh air and laugh with your kids- like proper belly laughs not these staged moments for the gram
I seriously think she's got issues from her dad's passing and she needs to heal herself until she can make things magical for her kids. It would do her good come off social media for abit I think!
 
I have to say Jamie as a dad is at least bothered about the kids more seemingly than her growing up I couldn't tell you how many times my dad bothered with me because he didn't so I truly hope the kids have a great time at Christmas whatever weird traditions may be trying to be shoved on them because the kids despite what is happening with Gemma and Jamie are just little kids believing in Santa if it works it works if not Gemma will find a way to make it seem it did I'm sure 😅😂
 
Is it just me who doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the Jamie as Santa thing? Loads of families have the dad dress up as Santa for young kids, it will probably make the time more magical for them.

Agree that having Noah help decorate the tree is probably a more important tradition to instate though…

In general there is nothing wrong with dads playing Santa at all, and Jaimie does strike me to be an involved parent especially with Noah.

However, it's so forced and cringe when your partner is like " omg i saw this in American movies and it's so cute, so you have to do it, here's a suit I already ordered." There is a big difference between kids loving Santa, growing up to appreciate him, and the parent being like let's surprise them with something fun., but this is per usual Gemma's idea of doing something "cute" because SHE loves Santa. And because she loves Santa her kids MUST experience it also, full throttle. and she's trying to force this magical childhood on her kids with these nonsense unoriginal traditions that nobody asked for or cares for, stolen from either Pintrest or tv... Everything she does leaves zero room for Noah to grow an interest in something naturally ( especially holiday related ) because god forbid they don't have picture-perfect images of "traditions" to show on IG... It's all so vapid when it's not spontaneous.

kids don’t initiate traditions it’s normally organic like walk to the woods on Christmas or tried something let’s do it again.
I see nothing wrong with Gemma trying the Santa dress up thing, it’s harmless and fun. Jaime tried it on and wanted to do it, that’s one way to make Christmas magical for kids now as you don’t get many Christmas Santa parties except the parade Santa.
im not going to knock Gemma for making a magical member for her children, if she didn’t love Christmas she wouldn’t have thought of it just like she didn’t think of having the Easter bunny visit for Easter.
