Kids clothes are not expensive, yes you can choose to shop in an expensive shop but it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. I have a boy and a girl and 80% of their clothes are from H&M & the rest primark with the odd item from next.
My sons jeans are €17 from H&M and they are such good quality these would be his “good”/weekend wear, which last until he needs the next size up, during the week he would wear their tracksuit sets which were €7.99 for a long sleeve top & bottoms!! €7.99!! Hardly breaks the bank. My little girl wears their long sleeve dresses for €3.99 again €3.99 Kerry! Or she would wear €4 jeans from primark with a €1.80 long sleeve top,I sell 90% of their clothes when they move up a size even the bits from primark. I make sure they are washed correctly and I take care of their clothes. If she bought Sienna some decent bits and took care of them I know for a fact both aria & Roma would get wear out of them too.
 
She probably spends more than 3.99 on coughees!!
She can definitely do that with Sienna then hand me down to the other two.
Also, there are plenty if second hand clothes for sale on Facebook. Bundles and everything. She can probably get loads of tops, trousers, dresses, pajamas, jumpers the lot for under 20 quid.
She just needs to make the effort. She just doesn't!

Do you think they will ever update the home Instagram or do you think they are now over their go at being "renovators"...now they realise that people have different opinions to them and it's not all sunshine and roses when renovating

I hope so because that's the reason I'm sticking around! I think they were all guns blazing just before they moved in and now everything is in and they are living there its like "can't be bothered now, too much effort" plus it must be hard when you have all the daily stuff to do too like school runs, shopping, classes, cooking and looking after the children.
Everyone told them that though. Everyone told them basically not to do it and they were "brave" aka stupid.
But Kerry was there saying ohh its always been a dream to renovate a house. 🙄 She had NO idea and should have just left it as a dream!
 
Always been their dream.... but they never mentioned it before?!?

If you take care of clothes they definitely get handed down in great condition. My second daughter has nothing new to her name, poor mite. And all my sons clothes go to friends.

I think Kerry just has no style and these things don’t register or bother her.
 
Exactly!!
They are are grandma's house today. As usual. But at least they have a good meal and a table to sit at on a Sunday.

Message her the details. She probably won't go though. I think she's too snobby to buy second hand.

Only time I've seen her buy like that is some boots for roma she showed before she was born. I think they were brand new, never worn though.
 
Kerry. You can pick up huge bundles of kids clothes, hardly worn, for next to nothing on eBay, gumtree, Facebook, preloved, freecycle, etc, etc. No need for them to look so tatty.
While you’re at it you could also get a table and chairs for a few quid so you could all sit and eat together as a family in a civilised manner instead of grovelling on the floor with the dog scrounging round. Might be able to pick up a decent quality second hand cooker to tide you over too. We all know she won’t though as she wants the Instagram appeal of a range cooker and an American fridge freezer to go with her pantry. Except it won’t have Instagram appeal because the kitchen isn’t big enough - it will look squashed in and ridiculous. Stop trying to copy what other home renovators have done in completely different properties with much healthier budgets and think what will actually work for your family, in your house, with your budget. You could get some decent content out of it too.....🙄
 
When my two were smaller and I was on maternity leave I used to sell all their clothes on Ebay, they were in great condition and I never made much tbh, but the people buying them would have got a right bargain. If money is tight she could pick up loads that way.
Only reason I don't do it now is mainly time, as it used to take me ages photographing them all, and we have a friend who I tend to pass down to.
 
I've never really got into watching her ever before, (too weird for me) but seeing how fast these threads move, I decided to watch a few, and check her stories, and I'm just in shock this woman and her husband have no shame for what they show.

My hub and I work good jobs, but a lot of our money gets eaten up with nursery, (as we have no immediate family where we live), bills, working hard to be debt free etc, so we don't always have 'loads' of cash to spend around, and my little one is always dressed well. It's so hard to see how raggedy she has her little ones.

When he was a newborn, I bought 90% of his clothes on eBay, took care of them, and most I resold back on eBay afterwards, including all my work maternity dresses (for e.g. those dresses went to paying for an ergo carrier) . As he got older, I would do a mix of purchasing from Next & H&M a few key pieces (like nice things for the weekend etc) and then eBay for nursery wear. I would get brands like Ted Baker etc for a fraction of the cost, just being diligent looking often for best prices. He's 3 now, and I buy leggings for him in Next and a few t-shirts, that last him sooo long all because I care for them. Additionally, my mum-in-law sewed a bunch of leggings for him to wear at home that he can get messy with and we don't have to worry about treating them etc.

We're expecting our second and I am doing the same thing again, scouring Ebay for the best deals, and I also look to Instagram for lots of fancy pre-loved things, I've gotten Mini Rodini stuff, etc. So it really friggin PISSES me off to see a woman behave this way, so wrapped up in whatever kudos she seems to get from whoever actually likes her online. You can have not a lot of money and still have PRIDE in what you do and how you look. You're a mother, act like one!
 
I think the latest grocery haul shows they are struggling financially, I've watched Kerry for ages and she always bought or as I thought wasted money on Water Wipes I understand buying for newborn but she has always bought them for years now. But not in this shop she changed to Aldi wipes its little things like that that show they are needing to save which makes paying for a hotel stay so stupid but mind they just seem to go from one stupid decision to another at the moment.
The new car, the house move, knocking the chimney down, pull walls out without thinking, stupid kitchen design, relying on the fact they can extend in the future, buying a fridge freezer that doesn't fit in the house the list is endless. Its madness.
 
Sienna and Aria desperately are in need of new clothes. I mean you can get lovely dresses in primark for only a few pounds each and then as you say she has 3 girls they can be passed down if they last. And babies under a year old dont need to be fancily dressed up if they are at home and just starting to move around surely babygros are suitable enough and vests when its warmer obviously.
