But what else could she have said? She sounds like she actually gets child physical development cos it really is a case of it’ll come when it comes. Like in absence of anything concerning there truly is nothing more to say than it’ll happen when she feels like it? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Cos it will, and it evidently did!

To be fair, it wasn’t a bum shuffle, which one of my kids did then went on to be a late walker.

It was more of a bum hop with one or both of her legs in the W position and baby/children’s legs in the W position for sitting, let alone moving, is really concerning.

Having said that, I’d never have commented on Alex’s posts or messaged her because I have faith a middle class mother has the resources to access good healthcare and would absolutely mention the odd way of moving.
 
Expensive takeout panini for me, the kids get the cheap stuff from home.

I am slightly confused about the lollies…saves money when they’re out?! But surely they need to eat them straight away and then they’re just carrying sticky reusable ice pop moulds around all day? 🤷🏻‍♀️

exactly, it must involve a cool bag and freezer blocks? Even that doesn’t last long (as I learnt bringing a box of soleros the other day). Who could be bothered. Just open your wallet for someone other than yourself hun

Am baffled by this myself. I’d say the reality is she decided to make the ice-lollies (using up leftover lemons/oranges and water!) and just decided to throw in the ‘saving so much money when out’ comment without any thought. If she really has brought the home-made ice-lollies out in a cool bag, etc -she would have already storied it.

Instead, she posted a photo of them eating those frozen Mr Freeze things just a few days ago!
 
God, that hair. Maybe he has some scalp or skin issue that means he has to lay off the regular washes. That can be the only explanation. They have plenty of time for him to have a quick shower every day and god knows they receive plenty of fancy shampoo & bodywash freebies PR samples.
 
It’s all performative - you can’t take home made ice lollies out and about, especially not in this weeks heat. What 1 and 4 year old will eat Lemon ice lollies without loads of sugar. And the saving money comment is something she feels she needs to throw on every other post even when it makes no sense

Imagine having to invent a frugal angle for everything you do, constantly remembering to put your Sainsburys packaging and Waitrose carrier bags out of shot and only showing clothes that were #gifted #preloved #5yearsold. It must be exhausting

Also this puts no value on your time / convenience. For the sake of a few quid you can get lovely organic fruit juice-y lollys (I can’t remember their name but it’s light blue packaging, I’ve only bought them twice as my LO is still v little) versus procuring the right juices/fruits, hoping it’s in the right quantities so tastes good, freezing it and praying it doesn’t spill over in the freezer as that’s a mess you need to clean up, and washing the mold! Like give over!!
 
Funny how you mention the value of time spent doing these things. Have you seen the latest reel which I assume is yet another weird attempt at being funny? You can see she has no real sense of how most people struggle to find enough time to do actually valuable or often even essential things. All these influencers relating free time to watching endless crap TV shows just sums up their busy lives.
 
More BAFFLING content and more unanswered questions from our favourite multi tasking frugal champion. Who takes ice lollies out with them? Why has she filmed herself decanting cooking oil into a more aesthetically pleasing bottle? Why can’t she grab a sundress out of the ‘holiday’ pile so she’s not sweating her tits off in this heat? Just how much weed does Chris smoke that it renders him unable to get his tit together enough to wash his hair occasionally?

This absolutely! ⬆️ She’s a fraud, living off a once relevant concept of relative frugality (economise on food = buy pricey fashion/interiors). Now trying to shoehorn her ‘brand’ into the cost of living crisis but looking like a dick as she has absolutely no bleeping clue what life beyond a privileged white middle class existence really and truly entails.
The home made ice pops are an absolute joke. She may have attempted this once, but no bleeping way does she do this regularly. Scraping the barrel for content yet again.
