The contrast between how my grandson is brought up to how Rodney is, is immense. Yesterday when they FaceTimed my son said his favourite toy, atm, is an empty milk bottle so I said put some dry pasta and rice in the bottom and let him shake it. This morning we‘ve had a video of him shaking the life out of this milk bottle with one hand (it’s only a small one) while banging on his high chair tray with a plastic spatula. How much his mummy appreciated that after her works Christmas party last night, I‘m not sure.

This afternoon he’s been making banana and blueberry muffins with our daughter-in-law and now they’re all bundled up walking around their village looking at the Christmas lights on people’s houses. His little eyes are like saucers. There’s not been any money thrown at him, just time and attention. For Christmas he’s having 6 presents from them, some aren’t new, but he’s loved and adored. He’s never been shoved in a car seat for hours on end, he’s clean, well fed, sleeps through the night and has a routine where he’s in bed every night by 7.30pm, sometimes earlier.

Sarah and Chrish have their priorities arse about face when it comes to their children. You absolutely should change your lifestyle when you have a baby. I’m not saying don’t go on holiday or stop going on days out, but you shouldn’t expect to travel in a van across Europe with a child in a car seat for hours, or sleep in until midday because it’s selfish and impedes the baby’s development.

Long time lurker…this family make me feel so sad. So much to say that I’m sure has already been said. The biggest thing watching them is how empty and meaningless it all is: constantly chasing the next high/shopping spree/surprise…it’s all so depressing.

Isabelle is dead behind the eyes, depressed and lacking any direction. Like someone pointed out, she’s great with the little ones, how much she’d benefit from doing a childcare course and putting her skills to good use. She’d feel great for having a purpose and having something to shower and get out the house for. I feel sad for her as she’s a product of her upbringing (as they all are).

Jace is the other child that stands out. He’s slightly younger than the age group I teach. Currently at school we are practising our nativity, making cards and calendars, keeping up with arithmetic and finishing our report writing linked to an information text the children have really enjoyed. Our topics are varied and fun and the children gain so much knowledge throughout the year. They really develop as little people from September-July and it’s lovely to see. Jace (and in the future, his little sisters) is missing out on so much. If he was homeschooled properly he could be doing all this. He will soon be a giant 10, 11, 12 year old (and beyond to being an adult male)…what then?! They can’t see the bigger picture. I just can’t wrap my head around it. They are failing them all big time.

I could say a lot more on the other girls. Just so shocking to see that this is their reality :(

Your son and daughter in law sound like amazing parents, as do you grandparent! Attention is the most important thing you can give a growing child. The weather here has been awful so we’ve had a day in. My son (6) is severely autistic and non verbal but we’ve spent the day filming his vehicles (he loves doing this). Made reindeer hand prints, made some sausage rolls, watched a (children’s!) film together, now having dinner and then it’s his bath time. The Ingham kids are left to fend for themselves as soon as they’re out of the womb it’s not surprising they’ve turned out the way they have :(

Is Izzy seriously nearly 20?
 
Blimey that takes me back to my old professional life. It’s made me feel sad that I’m unable to do it now.
I wonder if there was contact with the HV after Rodney ended up at A&E? She’d have to make up some excuse for them to be turning up at the house with a lanyard on. She knows that some of her neighbours lurk around the rodents channel
Oh good point, that probably would have triggered a HV check in. Perhaps they called them whilst they were out - would explain the bit where she said Rodney and Aurora had a nice long nap.

How sad, having to react to another ‘surprise’ especially for Izzy. I checked which of mine wanted to go & see it and then said it was all booked, no drama or fuss. That’s what most normal households do. There was more excitement in our house about going to choose the cinema snacks 😂
 
So Sarah and Isla say at the end of the vlog “they have friends taking a day of work and school” to watch the final bit of TS concert but if that was last night a Saturday and the vlog was yesterday so today is a Sunday they won’t have school and probably had today of work anyway

I think the last shows tonight, it's on super early in the morning for us though, i was up at 5 for work and it was on!
 
Even more bizarre is the daily grouping together on the stairs ready to go down as a family and see what the elves have done and opening the calendars for the day. What’s that all about?

The 3 older girls do not need to be actively involved in that. It really is tragic watching Izzy having to perform like that when she should be allowed to sit behind the camera with the other adults in the household. It does my head in she’s being treated like one of the kids when she’s been a legal adult for over 2 years now.

Mine all come down when they are ready, open the calendars in their own time and the ones interested in the elves have a hunt for them and come and tell me. They are so excited and doing it in their own time doesn’t make it any less special. But then they aren’t having to perform at every waking moment for a camera :(

Nice bottle of cleaning spray in reach of little hands plonked in the middle of the table.

Omg you couldn’t write it 😂 We said Lottie and her mum Stacey would be getting rolled out this month as it’s the only people they know.
Noticed Lottie and her mum met them in the show so didn’t have to spend much time with them and in the dark so they couldn’t vlog them non stop. Also they gave Lottie the Tk max bag with her Christmas gifts in it so obviously not seeing them again before Christmas 😂 The fake Christmas party now in jeopardy only his parents and Katrina now maybe 🤔
Big Saz tiktok yesterday in t max “we are in shopping for gifts for a friend “ 😂 yeah for Lottie just say it or do you want people to think you know more than 1 person 👀

Esme no doubt dragged Lottie into a few TikTok’s before they left 😂 it’s pathetic

It’s bullshit anyway no point even addressing it 😂 wonder if Isabelle will be dressing up as a fake “friend “ again she’s got enough clothes up in her room to make a few good outfits anyway 🤭
