Parents arguing and shouting, no boundaries, no routine, a house full of mess and shouting at a child when misbehaving instead of talking to them can definitely encourage a child to show signs of certain patterned behaviours and can affect their development! My point is she should sort out her life and make an effort to rather than be more concerned with a diagnoses. A child’s environment can change their behaviour drastically!

I definitely get where you’re coming from Brooklyn could still have ADHD inherited by Ste but with the way home conditions is it could make it worse or make him do behaviours that may not be 100% done due to the condition. They need to differentiate which behaviours is Brooklyn due to home conditions and which behaviours are due to ADHD.
It’ll be interesting to find out why ste is so against the ADHD diagnosis or why he was pushing Amber being wrong?

I know my sisters boyfriends sister doesn’t look after her kid properly but she puts the child behaviour down to ADHD or ASD when she’s too young to be diagnosed. The woman is a lazy parent and basically going round saying it to try and increase her benefits and to excuse her poor parenting

Someone needs to talk some sense into amber or intervene a bit. I wonder if her mum expresses her concerns or her friends about how she lives? The chaos in her house stresses me out and even though it is a possibility her son could have a bigger issue I think the symptoms could all be from lack of routine, the bad parenting, the witnessing of constant shouting and the chaos they live in. She makes it harder on herself by not having clear boundaries. How old is Brooklyn? He still had a dummy in at bedtime and was walking around in his school uniform with one in 😩 like I said it just shows lazy parenting and wanting him to shut up so they’ve never taken it off him. Omg and Ste on this episode the way he talks to Amber and starts randomly shouting is disgusting. I don’t know how she allows it and how she has him in her house. It’s all one big joke 😩😭 I wish someone would help her or give her a shake. If I was living like that and clearly in a massive depression/rut I know my friends and family would tell me and try and lend a hand. Rant over

💯!! I don’t expect anyones home to look like a show home, especially with kids, like certainly doesn’t! 😂 But my house is clean and when the kids are done making a mess, I tidy it. Most people are the same and they work, I don’t think she works? The house is a horrendous! And it doesn’t seem like anyone says anything, because surely if they did the first thing you would do is make sure it’s somewhat presentable when it’s going to be on TV but she seems to have no self awareness about it at all 😳
 
I don’t think it’s fair to be questioning whether or not amber is right or wrong to be pursuing a diagnosis for Brooklyn based off what we see in her short segments. I don’t actually think her house is that bad either it’s messy but it’s not disgusting and I think the girl is trying her best. It’s very common for schools to fight back against a parent, I’ve seen it happen time and time again. Ste is clearly very uneducated on ADHD to say he *HAD* it as a kid, it’s not something you grow out of and that might be perhaps why he is against it.

I don’t think it’s fair for some of these comments to be calling parents of neurodivergent children lazy parents. You don’t know what their house looks like everyday. Some would say I’m a lazy parent as we have a very low demand household and I practice gentle parenting for my PDA autistic child because that’s what works for us and prevents violent melt downs. I am far from a lazy parent though I’ve been fighting for his rights since he was 2 years old to make sure he’s got everything he needs in place for school, so much so he is now going to be the youngest pupil to attend an independent specialist school.
 
Finally caught up on the new series I’ve been reading and just nosing through caught up finally and a few things have pissed me off.

At one point chloe wanted a baby and now she’s forcing her ‘engagement’ on Jordan and because of his wrong he’s got to ‘make up’ for that.

sassi is causing her own problems kids will say they like there dads more they have a lot more fun no school routine, no routine, dads see there kids 2 da half the time and try and fit so much into there we’re just automatically ‘bad’ cop but if it came down to choosing am confident she would choose her mum to live with.

Amber and Ste never change.. moaning at her on FaceTime cos the kids are I bed? Duh it’s bedtime!! I feel like she needs help cos she’s going nowhere it’s been the same for 8 seasons now, them arguing her house the same she’d benefit from a job 100%

mia I love don’t know why I just do I relate in a way🤣🤷‍♀️ She’s trying to be mature and better her and Manleys relationship for Ms sake.

Manley is a waste of air I swear to god can’t think for himself Erin said in one breath ‘you and Mia arguing isgonna effect M but in the next breath ‘no I DONT want you to meet with Mia’ absolute joker needs to get of his mums tit and pull his socks up only decent thing he did was come out when M was crying and said if your ‘not good for mummy your not coming nannas’ that sentence alone shows me he can respect Mia, his problems are listening to his mum and Erin there both negative about him meeting Mia cos it’s his ex but she’s the mother of his child! Shouldn’t be havi g her number blocked at all

We don’t know what her house looks like everyday but it’s been 8 series. I think 8 series is a enough to get an accurate representation of how clean or not someone’s house is
 
Can someone play Manley clips from the early series where they had Erin coming for Sunday dinner when he was with Mia to “keep the family relationship for the girls sake” 🙄 the energy is soooo different for Mia!
I think they always wanted him with doormat Erin. Mia having her own mind was never gunna fly in that family.

I have an 11 year old son with adhd and I 100% completely agree, a diagnoses will make no difference unless Amber makes some drastic changes. I’m sorry but the house is disgusting and trust me my standards aren’t Mrs Hinch 🤣 Brooklyn and Hudson are being dragged up, I feel really sorry for them - the chaos around them must be horrendous.
 
Just watched the second episode

Chloe is so boring, she’s privileged and expects a lot with minimal effort. I think she’s used to getting what she wants (spoilt child) and it’s really evident in how she behaves now

Sassi going mental at Darren for not making a marriage pact 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s ridiculous. I felt so bad for Zenaya as prior to this they seemed to be getting along.

I was shocked at Erin saying she doesn’t want Manley to meet Mia. I always thought she was more mature than that.

My thoughts on episode 2:

Mia -100% coming across as the most mature one out of all the girls! Really felt for her with her dad’s situation & so glad he got good results - you can tell she’s got a lovely bond with her dad. She’s also coming across so patient & grown up about the whole Erin & Manley situation - just echoing what another poster said, I think it must be so difficult for her to let Marliya go there when she knows she doesn’t really want to. I’m so invested in her segments & can’t wait to see how this pans out!

Chloe - Lord have mercy, her segments are BORINGGGGG! Again, echoing what another poster said above, it’s been the same storyline since season 1.. goal board, do we have another baby or don’t we? Bigger hausss? Etc etc … what a boring life 🤣

Sassi - the way she flew off the handle at Darren was mad! I can’t help but think that Zenaya might prefer being at Darren’s because he doesn’t screech & scream at every given opportunity 🤣😩 I’m a northerner so I can’t say nothing, but her voice goes through me 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ Love the drama tho and can’t wait to see if DARREN A LUV YAAA FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEARTTTT makes an appearance this season 🤣 she deffo still loves Darren!

Amber - please get some help my babe! Amber’s house, life, co parenting situation, kids - everything is CHAOTIC! Those kids would thrive if she sorted her house out, and the environment they live in - meaning tidying up, setting boundaries, routines, and not arguing with Ste in front of the kids. All them kids have known since being in the womb is her & ste constantly at each other’s throats. I have to give her kudos for pushing for a diagnosis for Brooklyn, as it’s clear that he definitely has some behavioural issues, but as I said above, his environment deffo won’t be helping that.

I miss Megan… there I said it! Meg if you read here, please come back next series! 🤣🙏🏼

I agree with everything you said. Really like Mia. Erin is a bloody catfish😬 and not the song in the background when they are on their date singing 'she's jealous' 😂
I feel sorry for Amber. Defo think she's got depression or something like that. Ste shouting on the phone like that was out of order.

I get vibes that Erin doesn’t like marlyiah (sp?) being there
Click to expand...
Yeah I got that vibe too, she gave a certain look when the bunk beds were being put up. I don’t like Manley AT ALL, but he does go out of his way to ensure both of his girls are treated the same & not left out of anything. The energy tho when Erin was the ‘single’ one was completely different! Erin was always allowed over to Maggie’s house, and even stayed over at one point when he was with Mia, but now she’s having a problem with him meeting with Mia to be civil for Marliya’s sake? It’s all wild! She needs to grow up, in fact they all do… including Maggie! I know Mia says Maggie is a lovely person etc, but she always causes drama herself & makes digs at Mia

Exactly! Mia was told Erin is apart of the family or something like that so was round for dinner. One time she slept over there!!!
 
Sassi omg definitely is something wrong with her, I see somebody said possibly neurodivergent ADHD disorder, or possibly bipolar with her moods constantly up & down.
As the way she went off on Darren just because he didn't agree to getting back together with her if by the time she reached 30 and was still single.
Sassi said "if you know unteen times I told you how I want a man" Darren says "so go find your man then and stop bothering me then" Sassi says "Darren you know I don't want you as my man"
so why tf was she getting annoyed then.
She also overreacted just because Zenaya said she prefer it at her dad's, Zenaya only said that since she said she enjoys playing with a certain thing at Darren's. Then the way after she arranged that trip & just because Zenaya wasn't enjoying she got upset. Definitely not normal behavior.
She made me laugh though when Darren complimented her cooking, then she goes into one again, how she can cook good, house always clean, her bodies nice, successful, yet she still cant find a man🤣
Sassi girl work on yourself first then maybe then you may find the man for you. Then next episode looks like she gets into with Darren again 😩

That’s a good point. Mia was with Manley but had to have Erin for dinner where she was living. But now Manley has to ask for permission to speak to the mother of his child
