She's just going to wing it raising that child. Do it her way which will inevitably be the wrong way.

Follow the hierarchy. Any semblance of advice will be disregarded unless it's from Ned, Diren, James Smith or the Dublin mens Football team. The high vis fella and seagull might get a look in.

It's frightening that she hasn't got her act together in the last 9 months.
Doesn't everyone just wing it when it comes to rasing a child especially for the 1st time!
 
Doesn’t any first time parent just wing it tbf 😂

Probably, and that’s fine a lot of the time. But, with regards to developmental psychology, having a parent engaged and genuinely devoted to the development of a child aids in theory of mind development, which is a skill that enables people to understand the mental states of others and enables complex social relationships.

From seeing what I’ve seen of Shiv (which is, unfortunately, plenty) it seems like her development of theory of mind is severely stunted. And I’d go so far as to predict that her selfishness, her obsession with her “values” and them always being put first, and her lack of empathy will not leave space for her to actively engage, respond, and devote time to her little one.

I’m by no means getting into the school of thought regarding epigenetics, so please don’t even go there, anybody 🤣 but good parenting is a difficult and time consuming skill. Not everybody should have children. It’s a decision I myself have made, because I’d rather devote myself to something else (research/academia) and not harbour any resentment for splitting my time between things I love. Not to say it can’t be done - just that I have chosen not to do it.

But yea. Ol’ mate Shiv… I hope she proves me wrong. But I feel so sad about that baby.

Ah ye never know ye might decide further down the line you want to devote yourself to having a child for a change or a nice new challenge for yourself! Stanger things have happened! Sure look at our Shiv for example! 😝😂😂
 
Shiv has a hierarchy and almost ranks people. If you are above her in the hierarchy, she is at your disposal. You can say anything to her without offending and she will like all your posts. You can absolutely rip the piss out of her.

However if you are beneath her on the list and do the same, you are in serious trouble. Do not cross her. She will let you know and call you for a coffee to tell you why you are wrong and thus inferior.

This took me 5 mins to do, but when I think of Shiv this is how her hierarchy of people looks to me.
Don't forget her latest new friend the "oul woman "

Bet it's her.......
 
She could be in the throes of Labour and would still stop to post that picture of herself smuggly between James and Diren.

If the baby is born today she's still share that picture next year before the birth of her child.

Siobhan if you are reading don't embarrass yourself and ask them to be godparents they don't like you.
 
God if she asked Diren to be Godfather just to keep him in her loop that would be something else.

It would not surprise me. It should be Peanut by default as he has his head screwed on it seems with a loving partner. There are very serious practical elements to being a Godparent.

Pure speculation but it would not surprise me at all if her post birth decisions are not in the best interests of the child, but are in the interests of maintaining the fake Instagram life.
