Panic over everyone - she managed to get “birth” nails instead of having to go into labour with “Christmas” nails. I, for one, am breathing (or breeeeving) a sigh of relief
I was worried🤣
---
Anyone know what car she has? Always looking for a car I like that fits 3 car seats on the back row!
Isla could go in the front on a booster most of the time..Robs never here anyway
 
Theres no way way isla needs a booster. Shes tall.
Car seat belts are designed and crash tested for adult bodies of 150cm. It's much safer to keep children in high backed boosters until they're 150cm, even though the law says they don't need to be in a car seat after 135cm. This might be one parenting decision Sarah is getting right (probably by accident).
 
Third time round and she’s packed sooooo much stuff! It’s not a weekend mini break, surely she could leave bits in the car and if they end up in longer Rob could take them in. The way she is sharing everything you would imagine it’s her first time and she doesn’t know what’s ahead.

She's probably hoping for a longer stay, granny is down to look after the inconveniences and she gets bonding time with her little love, Instagram
 
So her children who are what, 7 and 9? Require 2 adults to tackle them to sleep and she says she will be needed upstairs to help with bedtime soon too? 3 adults!! That’s not right mamalife. The kids must be awful. Great idea adding another one. Idiots.
And I also don’t get why Granny has been brought down, they obviously cannot cope at all.

If it takes 3 adults to put her 2 children to bed, how in the name of hell is she going to put them both to bed on her own with a newborn that will be in the witching hour/cluster feeding? A 7 and 9 year old should be able to get ready for bed themselves and just be read a story and be tucked in by mum or dad.

So hold on. It's 10pm at night? Granny is upstairs wrestling the feral two (who are 7 and 9!) into bed? Whilst Rob is perched at the end of of the sofa and Sarah is wittering away into her phone about giving birth - again?!!

This so going to be one alllmmmmiiigghtty tit show.

Why is she making such a massive bleeping deal of giving birth? She's actually winding herself up big style. Is it for content? By the time I has number 3, I knew it was coming and just wanted to bloody get on with it

Same I had the hormone drip 1st time ans come second I just wanted labour to come so I could meet my maybe...ended up induced and needed the hormone drip again but it was all worth it for my baby - can't imagine I'd be like that 3rd time round
 
Those kids have NEVER had a proper bedtime routine and Lachlan has never been taught how to get himself to sleep on his own. Shes never going to manage this chaos on her own with a newborn. Can you imagine the carnage?! Tired baby crying, needing a bottle, needing a nappy change, screaming its head off, Lachlan running amock refusing to go to bed, Isla bleeping around winding lachlan up…….! Its going to be a ZOO!!!!!!
 
Really riles me how all these influencers think we need to be shown how to pack a bag and have links to stupid zip lock bags! I had my youngest 7 years ago. I put everything in our suitcase together and guess what, my husband and the midwives managed to find everything! Nothing was labelled 'pjs' or 'pants' and they found it all!
It's bloody ridiculous how they think it's some huge timesaving organisation hack. It's not.

if Isla is taller than 4ft 5 (which she clearly is) then her still being in a booster seat has nothing whatsoever to do with Sarah’s motherly instinct to protect her child….. she’s in the car seat for the same reason that Lachlan was still getting wheeled around in a pushchair at the age of 5 - because it makes life easier for Sarah. restrain Isla in a seat while in the car - its a way of controlling her. Isla is tall and shes well
built. Christ shes bigger than some of my own adult family members! she has no reason to
still be using a toddlers booster chair.

Isla won't be any more restrained in a high backed booster than she would be in a seatbelt, as it uses the adult seatbelt. The seat itself just places the child a bit higher up so that the seatbelt fits properly (it won't cut into her neck etc). Children's skeletons are still developing whereas adult ones are fully ossified, so can withstand the impact of a crash much better than a child (even if the child is as big as the adult, their skeleton is not as developed). Some adults would do better with a booster anyway, as it can ensure the belt fits them correctly. Being well built unfortunately tells us nothing about how her skeleton has developed insider her body either, which is the key factor in whether and how well a person will survive a car crash. There are tonnes of things to criticise Sarah for, but this isn't one of them. I'm not having a go at you, Betty, as clearly your children are grown so you don't need this advice any more anyway. Other parents of young children may not know all of these things, and sometimes influencers do get things right (accidentally or not!)

No my kids are younger than Isla.
anyway. Point is, legally she doesnt need the booster.

Moving on.
