Is it just me that thought Amber looked disappointed in the fact the dr said Brooklyn is good at school? If he’s good at school but naughty at home it may not even be a ADHD problem but a parenting problem. I’m not saying she’s a bad parent but he’s clearly good at school where there is routine and structure? I think she also thought that he would get a diagnosis and she could use that as an excuse for his behaviour. When the dr told her that she needed to go and talk to the school and stuff it seemed like she couldn’t be arsed and it wasn’t the outcome she was expecting. But surely you do it because you want to help your kid?

She wanted a diagnosis so she had an excuse for his behaviour. I know kids can mask their symptoms, mine does it, but our home life isn’t like Amber’s. And then they sent the kids to bed with a tablet each 🙃🙃

10000%. Just know this after being in her shoes. Even when we weren’t discussing it seriously, I’d throw petty digs about it in a “jokey” way. She needs to leave cos the resentment will build up, this is why you don’t forgive cheaters

I never really thought about resent building up if you forgave someone after it I just always thought about paranoia being there never really thought about other stuff afterwards especially when it’s been a couple years since the first time

my little brother is autistic anyway and he’s not naughty, I think it’s a misconception and some people do use it as an excuse lol. But we won’t go into all that anyway, but you’re right. He would probably settle better with routine, no coke, reading a book before bed not watching a tablet and having a tidy home so he can process where everything is!
 
The finale was one of the most boring episodes of the entire show. Chloe should go it’s so boring & she’s only going to do less parenting as Marley gets older. It was nice to see an update on Mia but her story is just as boring imo, I don’t care to watch any of the same conversations with Manley & his mum. Kinda wish she showed more of her life rather than just co parenting. Sassi & amber are a mess but I find them the most entertaining even if it is hard to watch.

I miss Shannon, I found her way more entertaining tbh some new people is necessary for sure

I’ve got to disagree here I think she was disappointed to not get a yes or no. It’s frustrating when your child flies under the radar. I could go on and on but it was covered way back but it’s not a black or white situation.
 
One person (Jordans Mum) asks if there will be another baby before the wedding (and in my opinion, if they didn't plan on getting married for 5 years thats a reasonable assumption no?) And she freaks out, needs to take a breather and go and sit with her friends. Wtf chill Chlo.
I may be unpopular in saying this too, but when people say they didnt want a baby as a teenager and how they felt reallt scared and underprepared, it does make me wonder why nobody considers abortion. Yes there is a lot of emotion and guilt attached to abortion, it's not ideal, but it is an OPTION. Fair enough it isn't for me to be saying people should get abortions, but I do believe Chloe appears very resentful of Marley so I do wonder why she chose to proceed with that pregnancy. The others genuinely seem to enjoy being parents and they're integrated into their lives. Chloes life is very much separate to Marlet, he 'gets in her way' is the impression I get

That was the finale??? Wow. What a shite series. Literally nothing happened 😂 I love having Mia back, I feel like we need Emma too as her situation parenting as someone with autism was so interesting.
 
Also from above can’t find it now but Mia didn’t have full support when she slept through the night feeds she got bashed by manleys whole family rightly or wrongly. Do we really think Erin would let Mia take her daughter abroad even if she offered? I can understand Erin’s face on the whole series however she was well in there with the family and I just wonder at the bitchy conversations that have gone on while Mia was basically blocked and not allowed in the house at drop offs and pick ups while Erin’s been welcomed with open arms. 100% Manley is at fault here, can’t blame Mia for being delighted that he’s being ok with her after ignoring and blocking her for so long. He’s got some of the strings here and most of them are connected to Erin. I actually found myself warming to Manley this series despite the way he acts on sm but actually realised he’s a silly little man boy who enjoys playing his childrens mothers off on each other while 2 little girls look on for a role model

Chloe considered abortion. I’ve seen a video of her talking about it. I think it was on one of the specials they did.
I don’t think she acts resentful of him. If you watch the video of her talking about abortion she cries when she speaks about Marley not being here

my son has diagnosed autism and undiagnosed adhd, getting an adhd diagnosis is hard but it seems even harder when you already have an existing diagnosis in our case. My son likes to meet the social and behaviour expectations of school so often works HARD to be a 'good student' (in my sons own words) and copies other children. He holds it all in, he masks and then he exploded after school. Often behaviours need to be present in 2 situations to get diagnosed with adhd BUT it is often recognised children mask and present differently at home and at school
My son displays challenging behaviour at home but not so much at school. My sons issues are never an excuse for bad behaviour.
imo none of us can really passjudgment on whether Brooklyn has adhd or not BUT considering Ste does, I feel it's a high possibility.
 
Yeah but reflecting on abortion when you have a child that you love is different to considering abortion of an unknown foetus. And she does behave like he is a burden, always talking about finding herself, wanting to do more for herself, doing this that and the other. How about living for your child and putting HIM first whilst he's so young. They're only little once, you don't have to he ambitious when your babies are little and need you more.

I don’t even like Chloe but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to find yourself or have things you want to do when you’re a mum especially at mum at her young age

It was in one of the specials at the start of the year, I remember she said she got to the clinic and couldn’t go with it.

But I do see where original OP is coming from. I know we see only snippets of their lives however all Chloe’s done is go on and on and on over having this “freedom” I get she lost out on a lot of stuff being a teen mum and Jordan had the nights out but the going on about freedom just comes across as regret or something to me. Like my sister has mentioned how much she’s missed out on stuff but she’ll always say afterwards she wouldn’t change it for the world and that but Chloe doesn’t even do that.
Like I’m glad she hasn’t made being a mum or Marley her personality trait like some mums do where they forget they are a human themselves but it’s odd how much she’s trying to distance herself from Marley compared to the others with their kids

Yes exactly this. Her and Marley are 2 separate entities, me and my 3 kids are a package. I have my own little life with my friends and I have a career, but st the end of the day my kids are the most important thing in mine and my husbands life. I get jumped on for saying that, because everyone jumps on the 'self care' bandwagon, weekends away without kids every other week etc like it's an entitlement. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy childfree time as much as the next Mum, but the day I chose to have children, they became my priority and my own selfish needs take a welcome back seat. Because I stand by what I said, they're only little once. You don't get this time back with them. Blink and they've left home
 
I honestly think Jordan would be off if he met someone else, yes he is as dull as dishwater but poor sod has been nagged at since the birth of Marley.Chloe is definitely not relatable she was driving a flash car straight after passing her test now she’s in a range I don’t know anyone who has a baby and is young who has brought their 1st property driving flash cars well not from my neck of the woods (London). And I’ve gotta say I can imagine when they have a bunk ( not often ) I can just see Chloe making Jordan shower before and after incase her sheets get dirty, and then telling him to send her a voice note when he next wants a bit of the other So she can pencil it in her dairy, but only after she’s run it by her manager.
 
I don’t necessarily think Chloe resents Marley or doesn’t put him first, I think she’s just trying to show “look women can do it all.” Like you can be a mum and still have goals and things outside of your children. I think she’s going for girl boss/feminist vibes but she has such a basic understanding of it that just comes across like she doesn’t put him first

what I really don’t get is why anyone would get engaged just to have a 5 year engagement. For me, you get engaged to get married. If you know you don’t want to get married for 5 years, why are you not getting engaged in like 3-4 years time??
