I think she really struggles with Ada who obviously isn’t calm and compliant like Raffy seems to have always been. Poor little girl is probably exhausted and over stimulated having two holidays back to back, she has only just turned 4. I think she probably thought that she was some kind of amazing parent when they had only had Raffy because he was quite an easy baby and toddler.

I also thought she sounded really rude complaining that the kids option was mostly pasta. She said the adult menu was quite unusual and different even for her and her husband so the place has gone for safe foods that most kids recognise and like which is a good thing and wtf is wrong with pasta anyway? Not like it’s nuggets laced with arsenic.

I do find it weird that people who are there on holiday are going along to weaning talks. I guess to be going on that kind of holiday as a family break you must have a certain level of income and that’s the target audience for her kind of advice, all very middle class.
 
I really dislike her public shaming of her kids, especially a 4yr old. The whole ‘we’ve got some work to do when we go home’ sounds a bit sinister - her daughter is 4yrs old, in a new environment so it’s not surprising that she’s easily distracted/wanting to explore. It comes across that she’s got really unrealistic ideas about how a four year old behaves. Surely there is the potential that she’s going to make it a much bigger issue by being so regimented as to how her daughter ‘should’ behave at meal times? It’s quite heavily documented on her Instagram page that Ada appears to be more of a snacker/light eater with meals so why make it sound such a problem when it’s just who she is? The constant comparison between what her kids eat/quantities eaten is not healthy and has the potential to cause real issues for them.

Why is she surprised that entertaining kids at meal times when on holiday/out is a full time job? What child honestly wants to be sat at a table at their ages. Let them draw, play games or heaven forbid have some screen time and it might be a bit less stressful for you all?

I was holding my breath to with Ada swimming by herself - though there was someone else in the pool who came into shot briefly. I think the Dad told her there was sand on the stick or something so not to poke him etc.

Back from their amazing gifted holiday and their family have stocked up their fridge so they haven't even needed to worry about that but she has to add that she added butter beans to her dad's tomato soup for extra protein/iron/fibre.....

Have a bleeping day off!!!

You can almost imagine her face as she saw the (homemade) soup and just knew it wasn't good enough 😬😬
 
She makes such a huge deal about Ada sitting at the table during meals, but is fine with her rolling around the Tube floor and refusing to sit down on a moving train. And rather than stop her getting in people’s way walking down a busy street, she films her. Make it make sense!
 
I always want to know what goes through her mind when she puts up photos or videos of her children only partially dressed. The video of the kids dancing is cute to send to your husband or grandparents but not to put on open social media with such a large following.
 
I really don’t know where she was going with sneaking a Teddy into Ada’s bag. She knew it wasn’t allowed so at whatever point Ada took it out the Teddy would be taken away and Ada would be upset.
 
My daughter went trick or treating came home with 2 buckets of sweets, took them all, had a sweet asked for some cheese andbl then today revisited for a sweet..have I limited how many sweets she can have no! Because she can have them when she wants she's not bothered by them.... There's no big issue..she makes her kids crave sweets
 
More podcasts with people preaching at us about how hard they have found things and what amazing insight they have suddenly had about some random part of parenting. Yippee 🙄

And when are we supposed to find the time to listen to all these crappy podcasts anyway? I'd rather have a 40 minute nap (or possibly even pull my own fingernails off) than spend time listening to utter drivel
