Few days late on this but found her post about Elliot’s birthday quite telling! Upset that a few years ago he liked Bluey and now he’s all about video games… the kid is SIX!! Maybe I’m overly judgemental but that just seems stupidly young to have become obsessed with playing on consoles for me
 
It might be because he has an older sibling who is already into it but I agree, why encourage your child to have even more screen time? Buy them things for their new garden they're having instead. Outdoor things. He has the perfect time of year for that sort of birthday gift. Tbh most of the gifts those kids receive are freebies they've been 'gifted' or things to advertise so I guess they are probably encouraged to be into whatever it is they receive for free so they don't have to spend anything on actual presents.

I haven't looked at her account for months but had a quick nosey the other day and saw that firstly, she is shockingly posting stuff more frequently now!? Who'd have thought she could actually do a pic or little video reel for every couple of days!? She's actually doing something towards her strange style of job for once 🤣.

I also noticed the dresses she has for sale. £49.99 plus postage for one of those cotton dresses! They must be good. Handmade by talented artisans in India too? Fair trade,sustainable and everything! Shame this isn't the case.

They are made by very very hardworking, talented people in India who have worked long, tiring hours creating these dresses for her to sell in her shop. She sells them for £49.99 a dress when actually she paid a grand total of £8 per dress plus one shipping fee all the way in air miles from India. She has sold around 39 of these dresses so far (and probably kept one in each of her favourite colours for herself of course) meaning she has made £1600 PROFIT from the few she has so far sold whilst the many talented artisans, who are working in this factory to make their living, shared a small cut of the £600 she paid for the whole stock of 72 - 75 dresses she purchased from them. I guess she also needs to make a living to feed her family from in that big ole house she has just extensively renovated.

Shame on her and her greed. What a shame she can't do some real work for once and maybe swap places for a day with one of those hardworking humans in India who actually have real skills and talents and deserve much more than the wages they work so hard to earn! Shame on you Dolly Bow Bow.

So so so much this! I’m sick of the consumerism and taking advantage of others (those making the items and hardly seeing anything back for their time or skills let alone other important factors such as working or living conditions). Disgraceful.


As for Elliot’s gaming situation - I guarantee the older boys are just left to entertain themselves which is why they’re so obsessed with gaming/tech. It’s a shame as years ago she seemed to make an effort, they went on lots of days out etc and more holidays that they paid for themselves. Obviously now unless it’s gifted, they’re not going. I think she’s struggled having a 3rd and there isn’t enough time for everything. She only ever occasionally stories the youngest, never the older two unless it’s an ad/gifted items.

Why are all the kids board games in a cupboard downstairs why not keep them in their bedroom or do they have too much stuff?

Omg I would never put board games in the kids rooms, there would be carnage 😂 the kids games are in a trunk in the playroom. Does she have a playroom?! Didn’t spot that in the tour which is odd considering her youngest is still very small

She said the snug was the boys hang out room.
 
Her house gives complete adult vibes and no 'family with children' vibes at all. How can her children access their toys and games when they're all stacked away in cupboards high and low? Her poor littlest one in their tour too. He was left for so very long just wandering aimlessly around. I don't see how walking around your house requires two adults? Selfie stick or tripod anyone? I guess hubby needs to earn his keep though 🤣.

Finley swinging around on the chair in the final room with both parents completely oblivious to his safety says it all really.

The view through to the garden and beyond across the field is incredible. Complete with a busy motorway to watch, smell and listen to all day long.
