It always annoys me Louise getting a book deal and not just a one off because not only did she never show any interest in writing but never reads either. I think when asked about about her favourite books she's mentioned childhood books and a book about a cottage that she didn't remember the title or author and was probably gifted. And for all she claims Carrie, Giovanna, Paige Toon and Lindsey Kelk are friends I bet she's never actually read their books.
 
When she’s talking about vocational schools in the dance video she says ‘if you’re really into it you can go to vocational school’ surely it’s not about how into it you are, it’s about how good you are. Louise won’t admit that Darcy isn’t at that level of talent. You can have all the money in the world but if your child doesn’t have the talent they won’t be able to do these things. I think if Darcy was at the level her friend Phoebe is at Louise would be shouting it from the houses. It’s great that Darcy has a hobby that she loves but I get the impression that Louise lives her own dreams vicariously through her daughter by pushing the ballet thing.

Oh lady Louise is the absolute queen of the passive aggressive responses 👏 🙄. She slagged off an A level student once for wanting to do well in her exams and was backed up by her other Disney Adult friend Carrie no hope Fletcher. Both are supposedly authors who are never seen writing, can't get their Instagram posts grammatically correct and are basically reliant on past YouTube success to sell their tatty books. Louise couldn't name a dozen literary icons if you #ad #gifted her.

Omg I'm so glad it's not just me who gets their knickers in a twist about dressing kids up as non-book characters on World Book Day 😂 it defeats the object if they're not book characters... save it for Halloween!

That’s like my level of irritation on Strictly when they do musicals in movie week! But there’s such a glorious array of book characters. I’m gutted world book day wasn’t around when I was younger but where the hell does Minnie Mouse come into things. You could technically go the Disney route in Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins even a number of the princesses but Minnie?
 
I found her statements on body image quite troublesome esp when she talks about what's healthy in terms of body weight and relates it to plus size not being so, equally is true of under weight which could be said of anyone trying to be a certain weight. To say she had readied herself to fight any body comments that might be said is shortsighted, it doesnt have to be direct it can be implied, spoken about in articles, in shows, interviews her girls might read or worse spoken by others in the dance groups. If an issue arose with one of her girls she may not spot it as it could be hidden out of sight of her. Im not sure why she felt the need to address the topic as she has only looked up certain stats.

To me the whole thing is a non issue really. The girls are at a local dance school. There’s no way they would dare to start weighing the children or telling them to lose weight. The teachers are running a business that I doubt they would risk losing their license to teach dance and probably don’t care about the weight of the children they teach.
The only reason that Louise is being asked this question is because she has given the impression that Darcy is some ballet prodigy when she’s actually like thousands of girls her age attending local dance classes.
 
I feel SO sorry for Darcy. At this point either she’s going to feel the pressure and feel Louise pushing her to do this hobby that she’s not that arsed about and she’s going to rebel one way or another. OR she’s going to start to believe she’s as good at ballet as Louise tells her she is and she’s going to be absolutely crushed in a few years when she realises she’s not. Either way, this isn’t going to end well for an already seemingly sensitive child at a vulnerable time of her life.

Or the poor kid won’t revel and go along with the whole charade not really enjoying herself but terrified to say anything ending up depressed and feeling somewhat lost as she strives to please Louise. Ballet is one of the hardest arts to excel in, and generally at Darcy’s age there’s already been several years of hard work and practise. It’s all good if she enjoys it but Louise is feeding her the idea that this is a legit career possibility. Darcy maybe does enjoy performing but right now she’s at an age where interests can still change in 3 years time she might want to do something hugely different. I think she’s a child who will take rejection or disappointment to heart and I think Louise is not doing a very good job in preparing her for such incidents.
 
aka "can a brand please #gift me some freebie garden furniture! i promise i will share photos and advertise your brand all over my IG platform!"

this beggy behaviour from influencers is so predictable, and utterly gross. if Louise can afford to spend over £3k each year on getting her house professionally decked out in Christmas decorations, she can afford a garden table and a couple of sunloungers. she has repeatedly labelled herself an expert at using google to find deals - to the point that she offers her "skills" to her followers as a sly way of profiting from clicks on her aff links - but surely that means she is totally capable of searching out suitable garden furniture for herself except no, because by doing that, she wouldn't be opening herself up for the opportunity to receive a new set of garden furniture for free, while also using it as an opportunity to increase engagement! 😡

Can’t believe she’s posted that photo of her magazine cover compared to her as a teenager and said growing up was good for her 🤣 Louise is in no way ugly but that magazine is filtered, edited and airbrushed to within an inch of its life!!

Also in the comments of that photo of her pregnant with Pearl, someone has said “thought you were announcing a pregnancy” and she’s responded “no, not today!” Which is a very strange answer for someone who’s forever insisted she’s finished having kids.
