WhatMummyMakes #9 I would drive 500 miles & I would drive 500 more, just to be a mum who’s child saw downtown abbey age 4

I think ultimately most people on here who are parents just want to make their kids happy and to do that we do things that wouldn’t be are first choice of things to do on a weekend. Whereas Rebecca doesn’t seem to understand this concept!
I can’t imagine how lonely and sad it must be for both her and her kid she really needs to
Get some friends her own age!!!

Absolutely this

This will make me sound ancient but we can only assume they went to the evening showing of Matilda, after their day admiring art and eating sausage rolls and later dumplings, so Nina was getting to bed at like 10.30 / 11? And then again tonight, assuming they go to Adele, it’ll be bed around midnight or something. It’s all just so massively inappropriate for a 4 year old. Yes absolutely as a treat and a one off! But it’s such a regular occurrence Nina must be done in and knackered.

Kids have just as much fun going to the local park or running about a field or splashing in water. And it makes all the treat stuff (like london, Disneyland, weekend trips) so much more magical when they do happen! Nina is going to look back and remember what? Being dragged down to london to enjoy her mum’s activities, without her dad, and not being able to express herself or find her own interests?

I can only assume that Rebecca’s mum and dad are separated. It’s the only fathomable excuse I can think of for not appreciating how important a child’s time is with BOTH parents. What damage she’s doing. And shame on the dad if he’s just letting this happen.

I think the husband chooses to stay off social media so he could be there for all we know

Like many others I’m fascinated to see what happens when dear Nini starts school. I can’t fathom what the teachers will make of her

I hope she gets an amazing teacher who watches Becky’s insta and sees what a weird relationship they have encourages her to flourish as herself.

Bex will have a shock as all children are exhausted while they adjust to school, MyNini won’t cope with long trips every weekend and popping to the supermarket on the way home every day.

I was wondering why she hadn’t posted/boasted about Adele yet and then remembered she doesn’t like people knowing where she is as she is soooo famous

Wonder if Becks was walking round the National Gallery wondering where all the portraits were

Have the best time! We saved for it too and took a 4 and 2 year old earlier this year - they LOVED it! It was the best trip ever, we still all talk about it and worth every penny. Take a ton of snacks to save on meals at the park is a good money saving tip



I’m not a total Bex with the age inappropriate activities (I’ve traipsed around NHM, London Zoo, Rainforest Cafe and the parks more than I’d like to ) but I do love the theatre and have loved introducing my 4 year old to it - we’ve done local Julia Donaldsons, Tiger Who Came To Tea etc, Frozen as a special treat, hoping to do Beauty and the Beast next week and Lion King is next on the list with her because she loved the 30 minute version we saw at Disney if your son likes the film, I’m sure he’ll be okay

Any concert in Hyde Park would of course be a big no no I’m going to be totally shocked if they’re not there tonight

As a drama teacher I highly approve of this theatre going activity!!

Nah he’s not, his car is at home and has been in and out.
I’m not a stalker btw, they just live on the next street which I drive on every day

We’re almost a full academic year deep and CoffeeBaby has only just adjusted. I also think the school will not take kindly to her trips out during term time! Not to mention, she will not accept Nina can do no wrong! Hah!

Can you imagine her taking Nini out of school to go and do a photoshoot for the next book? (Please don’t let there be another book)

 

[squatternutbosh]

Remember when Becks outed Nina’s ‘crush’ on James Corden to the world & tagged his sister to ensure maximum embarrassment….well I wonder if she waded herself through the crowd trying to get to him, dragging Nina behind her?

She didn’t even lose her for the last shoot

It’s so weird I would never plan loads of weekends with my children without their dad. Although he wouldn’t mind occasionally it’s just such strange behaviour! I’ve never known a family dynamic like theirs.

Ah ok fair enough

Hello my fellow Carlisle friend

Hello my fellow Carlisle friend

There’s a few of us on here

 

[Antiflogger]

She doesn’t care. I remember her taking the piss out of cloth nappies at a baby group we went to in 2019. They’re not my thing but wouldn’t make fun of people who use them!

Oh that's disappointing fair play to anyone to uses cloth nappies!

I can believe she judges other parents, she's shown that a bit, like when she judged a parent for giving their child a phone in a cafe.

She wouldn't want to see my parenting then

 

[SweetPotato]

Wonder when the big dramatic reveal of the ‘exciting plans’ will happen. Come on Becks we are on tenterhooks!!

Maybe she took her to Adele after all and it completely backfired on her and nini hated every second and she had to leave early HAHAHAHA

 

[Cheekyp33]

I'm desperate to see if we've got a bingo and she has taken Nina to see Adele.

 

[JarvisCockerSpaniel]

No way on this earth a four year old would have lasted the course at an Adele gig, she clearly would have just whinged or tried to sleep on the grass and would have had to be carted away let’s face it if there was footage of Mynini stage-managed into doing a happy dance we’d have all seen it by now, so it’s a safe bet that she didn’t comply!

Me too!! I thought she'd be all over insta stories

 

[squatternutbosh]

She’s probably trying to do damage control- had it been a successful evening, u can bet that she would have posted her big glitter smeared moon face on insta, saying how she just got Nina into their bed & how it was fantastic and how Nina was mesmerised by Adele’s lyrics of unrequited love and heartbreak or some bollocks like that. Then come morning there would have been a rate the bacon session.
she’s either trying to manipulate and edit her stories to make it seem like it was a successful evening by using a mish mash of footage of Nina and her weird flapping about dancing, or she’s going to do a ‘real relevant parenting post’ about how it didn’t go to plan and that’s just how parenting is ok? So relatable.
