Mrs Meldrum #150 Living the dream, aff linking Shein

[Whiskygal]

I feel like at the part she’s speaking about “Jazz” she should say “Got a Poppy, got obsessed with it, got sick of it!”

 

[Laurob]

Part 2 of that "chunky vlog" is a shambles "i have jeans in my wardrobe a size 6" and Lee is like "aw would you struggle to get in them??" lord helpppppp us

 

[Kittymum]

Lee genuinely seemed to have a wonderful bond with her and used to go on bike rides and film it, was loads more interesting that what Beggy puts out! Poppy had a lovely time with him.

Lee made the mistake of almost becoming more popular than Beggy and THAT was not allowed and Beggy put an end to it!!

Also, she keeps saying "i know im being really cryptic, Im sorry" etc but she's not really being very cryptic is she! She's basically saying that she thinks Poppy is a pain in the arse and is ruining planned family days out and that her behaviour is so difficult (whether that be at school or at home or both) and they are trying out removing her from school to see if it helps. Short of saying "Poppy has ASD/Autism/is ND" etc she's not being very cryptic at all!

I’ve said along along that Poppy is on the spectrum. It’s went like this. School have called Meldrum in to talk about an Ed Psych appointment. Meldrum has clutched her pearls and said “Poppy isn’t on the spectrum she’s just overstimulated” . Meldrum has then decided one day off a week is some downtime for Poppy since she’s such a lazy tit and it works for her to do nothing everytime she’s overstimulated. Meldrum isn’t doing poor P any favours of that is what’s happened. Ignoring it won’t make it go away and there is NO shame with being on the spectrum. We are all a little bit on it in our own ways ❤ Children on the spectrum always exhibit behaviours at home or at school. That’s how we found out my daughter was autistic.

There is absolutely no shame on being on the spectrum at all, but we’re definitely not all on it - asd is a neurological condition so you either have it or you don’t

 

[Catwoman]

Binny is a nasty, evil witch! If P does have any behavioural problems, it's her mothers doing! She has openly encouraged the other two girls to berate and be nasty to P. Does anyone else remember her trapping P on the stairs between the top and bottom stairgate and laughing because P was crying? She left her in her cot for the majority of the day then moaned because she didn't sleep at night. We only see a "Snippet" of their days, god only knows what we don't see!

I've said this for years. We only see a small amount of what's shared, it's the fact that she's always thought it normal what she does share that worries me. The child put to bed in the dirty clothes from the farm visit . The live neglect online when P was ill and obviously distressed but Mother used her as she wanted Lee home from the night out in Aberdeen. Makes me sick even thinking about that again. The keeping g the children in their rooms, the work for the snacks, the abnormal reaction to a puppy.

I think the back thing is her pushing him to get signed off work so he can’t go back offshore - because SHE can’t cope.

That's exactly what I think. Not sure if he will get paid but I can't help being suspicious and thinking it's 'seeds' being planted for him being off.

As someone else said though, that should be a reminder how they depend on a good level of fitness in his job.

 

[Maddogsmum]

She really is a bleeping witch and a lazy one at that. Even if Poppy has some issues there is NO REASON that Beggy couldn't get a part time job. It would probably be better for Poppy to be in an after school club rather than with her miserable mother who doesn't try to hide how much she dislikes her own child.

Poppy may be on the spectrum, I am in no way qualified to say but I think 90% of her "problems" are down to Beggy who cannot be bothered with her because she has a bit of spirit. Beggy wants quiet, placid kids who do as they're told. This is obviously how she's raised S & F, Poppy has personality and she doesn't;'t like it one bit. Too much like hard work to have to engage with her rather than shut her in her room with a book.

Laziness is Bebby's biggest issue- She is the laziest person in the bleeping world. She does NOTHING.
She really needs to get off her arse and get a job.

I wonder of all this talk of downsizing really means Lee's job isn't that secure?
My husband is self employed and had a period of not having much work so I got a 2nd job - just 12 hours a week to bring in some extra cash. Because we are a team. Beggy is all about Team Beggy.

 

[AnnaBanana85]

She has just posted about booking another holiday.
Surely if life was so bad at home with Poppy you wouldn’t be in a rush to book yet another family holiday?! Confused..

 

[Lilyofthevalley80]

The new holiday is a Eurocamp one if the photo is to be believed. We won a Eurocamp holiday a few years ago and I remember that pool from when we were looking at camps. They are brassic (compared to what La Binny would like us to believe). Binny is going to moan like mad on this holiday

 

[Telly Fanatic]

maybe they are up to their necks in debt, and she's gently dropping it in that they might have to move and downsize..

We had an additional holiday one year to a euro camp. We enjoyed it, the accommodation was basic but clean, but the only reason we wouldn’t return was because of how busy it was. We had a bungalow but the pools etc served the camping and caravans too. It was manic when the pools opened. For us, we rolled with it and had a great holiday, binny however, I’ll stock up on popcorn!

I feel really sorry for the friends they are apparently going with. Beggy is going to be an utter nightmare on this holiday . Basic accommodation in the French Alps? I don’t think so

Didn’t mean to sound condescending saying additional, just meant it wasn’t our main holiday that year.

We enjoyed our holiday as it was free. We might even go again but we’re realistic about what it is. For someone with ideas above their station who likes to brag, this is not the one. However excited Binny apparently is.

I actually stand corrected. I don’t think it is a Eurocamp they are saying in but I knew I remembered the pool and it’s the municipal one in Morzine. So not the usual private beach guff we get. So from looking at the stories, the plan is to go exploring and have cheese and wine? Sounds right up any child’s street and then drive for 4 hours to Lake Como?! With the “difficult” Poppy?! Okay dokes - this is going to be a literal ride as I highly doubt the friends will be wanting to stay in a luxury chalet, even if Binny could afford it.

 

[Siofra]

So, her plan is that Lee leaves his offshore job and gets a job locally. Then when he’s finished a days’ work, he can come home and do the grocery shop, help with the girls, clean, cook What planet does she live on!! No mention at all of her helping her family financially. She’s pathetic really

 

[I_Like_Tractors]

She doesn't 'allow' gaming yet they presumably have a console, know how to play Fortnite etc

Who is she doing the baby jigsaw with? Or is that her own intelligence level.

Same for us - we knew what to expect and went with it. We used ours as a base, left the resort everyday and did 4 days out exploring towns and cities. It worked well for us a family as we could do the sightseeing and the pools. When I say sightseeing, I mean architecture and culture, not the shopping mall and h and m.

 

[Uddlemupped]

I can’t even with the Poppy stuff.. if Poppy is autistic or anything then Rebecca needs to get off the internet and actually do some proper research into helping and supporting her instead of bad mouthing her for the world to see.

On the flip side.. it could be that Poppy has actually realised her mum doesn’t like her and just had a duck you attitude towards Binny and prefers to be around her dad.. You reap what you sow Rebecca

 

[Tonychow]

Morzine is a beautiful French village. It’s brilliant for children who have good parents that do stuff with them! It’s not a read your book and ignore your children place. There is so much do. The Meldrums don’t deserve to go there. I have a place there… Also, the drive to Italy isn’t the best.

You are spot on. I was so glad when my daughter was diagnosed and thankful for help and input. Understanding my daughter led to my diagnosis and I am grateful for that. I struggled massively as a child in a way I don’t want my daughter to.
