Just catching up on her stories now, I’m sorry but Grey could genuinely make nicer artwork than those “prints” (use that word loosely) they actually are utterly hideous. Like wtaf is this

I don’t understand on the yoga post someone has commented on her plant so she says she’s googled the thing in question then asks the original poster a question. Surely google would have told her the answer.

Also slightly irked by her Chanel yoga mat that was a gift, because she’s not that extravagant.

Watched a bit of the Q&A before I fell asleep. I cannot believe that she A) forgot how old her daughter was and B) her daughter isn't crawling yet. I don't normally comment on stuff like that but in her case it rubs me the wrong way. Probably because she has proven herself time and time again to be a useless waste of space. What I want to know is what are they doing to encourage their child to move? I realize some kids do skip over it and go straight to pulling themselves up. But research shows that crawling is actually an important milestone. They should be doing everything they can to encourage it. This is basic parenting. Why is she so damn lazy? We used to get on the floor with our daughters and show them how to do it. Some of the cutest pictures and videos I have are of my husband crawling across our living room floor like an idiot and my daughters just laughing at their daddy being silly.

To be fair I think I saw on her stories this week that Grey is now crawling as she was having to move the bar cart etc. However I agree that I don't think she did much to encourage it - bizarre given the fact she has dedicated 'play' scheduled into their routine. I also say this as someone whose daughter has also taken a while to get the hang of moving and now she has she won't sit still for a second 🤣 looking forward to Lily moaning about that 🙄

I'm very much of the opinion that babies will do stuff at their own pace (and we never showed our baby how to crawl really, she just figured it out on her own too quickly haha) but I do think that there are some things that they did/ didn't do that probably didn't help encourage her. Things like watching tv with her from a young age, it can leave them just transfixed and not interested in moving, also putting her in a bouncer/seat a lot rather than just having her on the floor (remember when she took her own baby bouncer along to mum and baby yoga?! Hahahahaha).

But, that said, I think some babies will just crawl early and some late and really in time it doesn't matter all that much.

I agree that they move at their own pace. My
Son sat up late but walked early. It’s all up to them.
the difference is that he plays allll the time. The only schedule he’s had is roughly when he sleeps or had milk or meals.

What’s she gonna do when she’s a toddler
‘No grey, you can only play from 11.30-11.45
Before you have roasted avacado and coriander muffins on seeded bread with 10 seeds with a sniff of a crisp’
 
I don’t think we can blame them for their baby not crawling. Children just do things at their own pace. My two oldest walked at 10 months. My youngest was 16 months. Didn’t treat that baby any differently.

I don’t think she would have liked her being ‘behind’ on a milestone though. She seems like the kind of mother who would compare to the other babies in the group.

The strict schedule is so strange! I’m not a fan of schedules for children, it becomes too much of a ballache if they become reliant on something happening at an exact time. I’m not prepared enough for that.

I should clarify that I don't normally comment on a child's development because I believe kids will do things when they are ready. But I also think parents can do little things to hinder development like plonking them in front of the television too much, being too restrictive with their schedules, not allowing them freedom to explore, etc. She is so self-absorbed. When she was pregnant I commented on how I felt like she expected the baby to come out and adjust to their way of life and not the other way around. Looks like she still holds onto that expectation and it's sad.
