totally get keeping things normal as possible for a young child when one of their parents is sick, especially as I think Louise's mum had been unwell for a while before she died - I haven't watched the clip so not sure of the context, but surely Louise can see there is a difference between going to a disco the day BEFORE your mum dies than going out partying the day AFTER. 🙄

Please don’t judge her for this. Kids often don’t have a choice in that horrible in between time after a death but before the funeral, adults can overrule and get them to do what they think is best at the time. She’ll have been in shock. Kids can and do carry on with the day to day, it doesn’t mean they aren’t sad or grieving, kids don’t grieve like adults at all.

I would imagine that her dad and aunties made the decision - an impossible decision at that. There’s far more knowledge about mental health and grief these days as well as multiple charities who can offer grief counselling. Even her dad may not have been so easily taken in by the abuser if that happened now.
 
Just been on Arvia with my family and my sister and her family. My sister still watches Louise and I used to but I don’t these days. We ran into her on Wednesday and she was so passive aggressive with my sister that I didn’t talk to her 🤣
Her friend Faye was lovely, but Louise clearly had no time to talk to anyone. She didn’t even ask my sister’s name while having a picture with her.

thats so sad for your sister and a dumb move from her - fancy being rude to your already dwindling audience, she needs her viewers more than ever

What a shame for your sister. Louise needs to realise that she’s at work while on this trip, it’s not a private family trip, it’s an ad.

How obnoxious. 'I' took her on a cruise, 'I' did this 'I' did that 'aren't I so wonderful'... How many times does she have to say it? Horribly uncouth. You are on a brand deal trip. You hardly put your hand in your pocket Louise. Learn to be humble and kind for goodness sake. 😡

She done this before “I took my family to Disney world”

So patronising to family members, just say “we’re all going” no one needs to know who is paid for/gifted what
 
I hate the whole ‘I took her here’ narrative, it’s so patronising and makes Louise look like (even more of) a dick. Just say you went on a girls trip together. I’ve honestly never looked at people on a holiday and wondered who paid for what, why does she think people care? Fair enough if it’s a PR trip and she was allowed to bring a +1 just say that, but otherwise there’s no need.

Why does Darcy’s right arm look unnaturally long in this photo? Has Louise stretched the photo so she looks skinnier?

I agree it's not fair to judge how families choose to handle this. Even as an 'adult' (I was 19) when my Dad died, my mum told me to go to a friend's Thanksgiving (we lived in Canada at the time) as planned, because I would only be sitting around a home otherwise. I'm forever grateful for the distraction it gave and it remains a fond memory of having something nice at a terrible time.

Everyone is different, but honestly I might be also tempted to send a young-ish child out to a party in the 'in between' time if it gave them a bit of a break/normality.
