My
She can't do much with a pushchair?? That's bull! I have a little boy around the same age as ollie, so I know there's loads you can do! Also ollie is walking now so she could let him walk round places and leave the pram at home
My little one is a few months younger than Ollie and we rarely take the chair. I have reigns just for peace of mind near roads etc other wise my LO is really good at listening and holding my hand,not running off etc. You've got to give them freedom to then show them right/wrong. No touching in shops, walking on oath,
All toddlers walk slow and get easily distracted when walking, but they won't learn to walk faster or walk longer distances until they actually do it. She could always stop her lives earlier and leave earlier than needed to
I was going to say this earlier but thought what is even the point. She thinks she knows everything.
My LO (little one) is so well behaved when we are out walking as we do it daily. We have a car but we go on daily walks. We very rarely take the puschair now. My LO is younger than Ollie by a few months too. Listens when you say stop, wait, has started looking left, right then left again before crossing but always gets my hand again before crossing. Knows to walk on the inside of me so I'm roadside. We had reigns for the first few times just for peace of mind but children love learning if you put the time and the attention in. So they love walking and going on adventures, learning new things.
You aren't meant to compare children they all develop at different stages however I just don't see him saying much or getting much attention. I hate talking on other people's children but I would rather give my time and attention to my LO than be stood on live. She ignores them both every morning. Once they're in bed then by all means but while they are there get on the floor play with them, interact with them.
My LO helps do my makeup and pass my brushes, brush my hair. We eat breakfast together. Ollie is plopped into his high chair while she sits on live and shouts of to Phoebe to get Ollie this, get Ollie that.
I didn't want to speak on it but she acts like she is perfect and she really isn't. The puschair comment and making it sound like her kids get in the way of her life literally broke my heart. Yeah we all say things and they come out the wrong way but this isn't the first time she's made comments like it and her actions, from what we see (and it's a fair few hours every day) show that she isn't that fussed about them.
