I just wanted to say Shan thank you for not editing out the bagel incident ! My child does the same ! Kicking off about basically nothing! Thanks for keeping it real always x
This bagel incident really hit home for you guys didn’t it😅 It’s reassuring to know that we’re all having these insanely unnecessary battles with our toddlers isn’t it🤣 believe it or not, I actually cut out a fair bit of this conversation cause it went on FOREVER 😭😅 ultimately, I decided it wasn’t a fight worth having in that moment 😅♥️
I just LOVE this kind of natural, unscripted, totally raw content that all us mums can so deeply resonate with!! Also have loads of respect for you for protecting your babies privacy and blurring out their faces, this just shows that you can have a family channel with mum content without needing to broadcast your kids identities all over the Internet.
*Edit* : Where are your jeans from hun? I love how they look!! 😘
🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much!! That’s so lovely of you to say! I always battle with now much / little to share about the kids, especially George as he gets older, but I’m happy with the balance at the moment I think! It’s nice to know that people still enjoy the content! 🥰
And the jeans are the “Tori” jeans from Newlook, but I got them on vinted for £4!!! ♥️
Watching your vlogs is so unbelievably reassuring and therapeutic for me. I have a 3 year old and a 3 month old and I go to bed every night just praying that the wake up times are staggered so that I can at least attempt to make a cup of tea with only one child to feed, change nappy, clean up after, dress etc. This morning they both woke at the exact same time 😪I was so tired I could barely speak. Had to leave the baby crying whilst I got my toddlers breakfast and then breastfeed the baby whilst he ate. Of course she decided to take forever to feed so he was then raging because I couldn't get up and go put the tv on for him. Mornings are an absolute sh*tshow at the mo ha I can't think until I've had a brew (or two these days) so when I can't get one it just feels like an uphill battle for the rest of the day. Your vlogs make me feel like there's at least one other person in the world who gets it! 🤣
Omg girl, you have NO IDEA how much I can relate to this!!!! This was my exact life a few months ago with Halle and George. Someone was always screaming or crying cause both of them had absolutely no patience to wait for anything 😭
It has got easier, but it’s still HARD! Let’s not sugar coat this, being a Mum to young kids is BRUTAL sometimes 😭😅
Like you say though, at least we know that there’s someone else out there that GETS IT!! 🥹
Hope you got that brew this morning!! ♥️
I have EXACTLY the same schedule with my one year old and 3.5 year old 🙈 Morning school run, breakfast, play, nap, housework, lunch, go for a walk/shops, nap, schools run and toddler is back 🌪️😁
Relating hard to the bagel thing, you handled it so calmly!
Thank you for being so honest and open in your vlogs. It’s refreshing to see realistic parenting! I have a toddler and find these kind of vlogs SO reassuring. Especially the part about the bagel 😂 my wee girl does just the same! Also she complains of sore legs too 😔
I’m so glad it’s not just us with bagel gate 😂🙏🏼 and I’ve been giving George a multivitamin (which has vitamin D3 in) which is supposed to help with the growing pains!
Hi Shan, perhaps take G to the doc to check what exactly is causing the pain in his legs? Cleaning-wise I swear by the Organised Mum Method 👌🏼 it really helps me keep on top of things…most of the time 🙃 x
I use organised mum method too and it help me.
Me too, it’s a lifesaver!
Thank your sharing all these moment so openly it is really helping me with seeing reflections of how my toddler is and that I’m not alone. You handled all that very well ❤
Thank you, that means a lot!! I’m so glad people feel like they can relate to these moments.. cause when you’re in it, it feels like you’re the only one that has to deal with this often ridiculous and infuriating scenarios! The truth is, we’re all dealing with a metaphorical “bagel incident” with our kids at one moment or another aren’t we 😅😅
Loved the authenticity of this vlog! You remain so calm with a toddler and trying to deal with a little one. I'm a FTM to a 14 month old and I find it challenging at the best of times so do enjoy your vlogs and that not everything is sunshine and roses :)
Thank you so much!! It’s a struggle staying calm sometimes, and often I fail at that!!
I always have a lot more patience if I’ve had the chance to wake up myself a bit before being thrown in at the deep end with toddler demands! This was a good morning in that respect 😅
14/15 months is a tough age, cause the communication isn’t quite there but they’re soooo strong minded! So sending you
Caffeine and patience, you’ll probs need a lot of both, but I’m right there with you!!😅♥️
Don't be fooled. She's calm because she's filming herself. She absolutely won't act like that with them off camera.
Hey! Thanks for sharing! George making the very specific breakfast demands is very familiar with my 3 year old! 🙈 makes me feel less alone! When I was off on maternity leave with my second. On the days my eldest was in nursery, I’d do 1 day more home-based, with housework and errands etc and then 1 day where me and my little one would have a full day out, picnic etc. that way it felt like we both had a break from the house, and also because we were out, there was less mess to clear up 😂 ie the highchair baby lunch mess. And it was also nice spending 1:1 time with the little one as normal days out at the weekend were more for my eldest/toddler based! If that makes any sense! Sometimes we’d go with friends or other times, just me and him xx
We’re so not alone in having to cater to the specific breakfast demands are we 😅😅
And that’s a great idea how to spread out time with your little one and housework and the rest of the mundanity 😅 I might do that this week and take H out while George is at nursery! ♥️
Babies throwing food to the floor (or other items) is part of their development - the trajectory schema - and helps them learn about cause and effect.
Thank you 🥰
You should put a mirror or picture up at the back of the cupboard or a little affirmation to kick start your day right! ❤
LOVE THIS!!!!! ♥️
You are amazing…. Think how hard it would have been if you had gone back to work especially with the travelling. You have so much patience with George… ❤❤
🥹🥹 thank you so much! And god, I genuinely can’t even imagine what ABSOLUTE CHAOS the mornings would be like I have do go back now 😅😅
I’m learning that it’s best to pick my battles in this era of motherhood 😅🤣 thank you!! 🥰
Hi Shan, loving the realistic VLOG, right there with you with a baby the same age - housework, 2 naps and 3 meals doesn’t leave much room for other fun activities! How do you keep Halle entertained while you get jobs done? (Aside from her playing with and breaking expensive camera equipment 😂) xxx
Thank you lovely!! And yeah it really doesn’t leave much time does it!! 😅 and tbh, I really struggle keeping her entertained in her wake windows between meals haha! When the toys and dancing fruit fail, we end up going out for a walk or a potter around the shops or something to that effect! 😅 if you find any tips, send them my way!!! 😅♥️
Oh my god I have never felt like I could relate more to what someone is going through than the bagel section! My little girl is exactly the same. You had so much patience! Xx
😅😅 so many people could relate on that!! I’m secretly glad that it’s not just us!! 😅 when to they learn how to be rational and reasonable humans??? 😅♥️
Now, my one year old can move around the house (not walking just crawling and pulling up on anything) I struggle to get anything done 😬 I just need to watch her and make sure she is playing safely.
Great vlog Shan. I'm in the process of decluttering myself. I can definitely relate to the boring mundane cleaning tasks, plus trying to entertain my 3 year old and my 1 year old. The less clutter you have, the easier it will be to keep tidy. At least that's my plan. Unfortunately my husband brings more crap back 😂
This is exactly what I think too!! I want to get rid of everything, but my husband and his paraphernalia have other ideas 😅😅
@@HomeWithShanhaha same. I always find random stuff on the kitchen counter. Everything from cables to screwdrivers and like 4 different chargers 😂
It would be worth exploring options with the GP for George’s legs. It could be he has issues in his spine which are causing a trapped nerve when he lays down. Given how long the problem has been going on it seems more than growing pains.
Thank you for this! We’ve been to the GP and they’ve basically said they think it’s growing pains.. nothing else untoward. Part of me thinks that George is just incredibly dramatic and it is uncomfortable for him. He is honestly so active so it might be him muscles aching too!
It’s the same with my daughter. At least twice a week, she wakes up in the middle of the night, screaming of leg pains. I give her Calpol and after like 10/15 minutes she stops and falls back asleep.
Calpol it is then!! Thank you! We’ve been to the doctors now and he advised the same! ♥️
Can just relate so much! Especially with the cup of tea 🤣 I need to chose between a walk with the pram during their morning nap or housework, and normally I always thank myself for the walk ❤️ but I know it is so hard to leave the mess. Sometimes I find cleaning their high chairs quickly before lunch (if I didn’t get to do it quickly when they are finished breakfast) and then just doing a clean after lunch instead of doing it twice if that makes sense. But leaving the kitchen a mess to go out a walk does feel wrong… I always feel so much better for the walk❤️
It is so hard balancing it all you’re doing amazing❤️
Hope George’s growing pains ease up soon wee soul😭 sending you lots of love ❤️ you’re such an inspiration ✨
I needed to hear that today!! You’re so right, I feel like you know me well.. cause I find it so hard to leave the house in a mess (even know I do that all the time these days!).. but I’m going out for a walk and dealing with it later!! 😅♥️
You’re so kind!! Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️
@@HomeWithShan good for you hun❤️👏🏼✨ it is such a hard balance. We are very similar gal for sure! Thank you for your reply🥰 I’m just
about to upload a video if you have any advice that would amazing but please don’t worry if not. My angles and voiceovers are not the best😭🤣
the leg thing is it deffo growing pains? could it be restless legs from being stationary? you could massage his legs gently see if that helps at all?
The chat about having 3 bagels 😅 you are living my exact life 😂🩵
Could you get a kallax type unit to fit in your cupboard? Maybe one along the bottom and then another on top up the side of the boiler in an L shape? Or a billy bookcase if narrower? Just to give you more storage? xx
Ooh I really like this idea!! Thank you!
When I was a kid up until about the age of 10 I would often wake up in the night in pain with my legs, I used to get terrible cramps and it was worse if I had a day were I was running around a lot. With how excitable and on the go George can be maybe it’s something to bear in mind. It might not be related at all but maybe something to think about if it helps x
I used to get hot water bottles for my legs and massage them with olbas oil.
Also maybe because you have to carry hallie down the stairs etc maybe it’s also an excuse to get you to carry him too? I believe his legs are genuinely hurting him at times but as kids i think we’ve all used something similar to be carried by mommy somewhere haha. As you said he managed to run round the kitchen. Hope his little legs feel better soon x
These may be growing pains from sudden growth spurts
Magnesium is suppose to be good for growing pains because it is a natural muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory I would be talking to a gp if he's taking magnesium and still screaming in pain it may be that he needs more or that there is something wrong and it's not growing pains.
Re the growing pains, i used to suffer as a child as did my daughters (now grown up) my grand daughters now also suffer, i always say give them a spoonful of calpol and keep the legs warm, rub them/thick socks/hot water bottle. George will eventually grow out of it :) hope this helps x
Thank you!! It’s so rough on him bless him, but we’ll definitely do all of the above! Thank you again ❤
My little girl is literally just like this (she’s almost 4) we have a long hot water bottle (but the bean filled ones you put in the microwave) and she sits with that in the morning under the backs of her knees - seems to help. I’m guessing it’s growing pains for her too- she’s very tall and already in 5-6 clothes.
I love your videos your amazing ❤❤❤
🥹🥹 thank you so much!!!
It’s like watching my life lol😂you’re just younger and prettier!
We have a lot of leg pain when the toddler wants carrying down the stairs but his baby sister is in our arms. But it might be worth checking vitamin levels. I’ve just realised my 3 year old needs 2 of his Peppa vitamins to get the recommended dose 🤦♀️
Shan, have you heard of the organised mum method?
Only since someone else mentioned it!! I need to look into it more ❤
maybe your son sees how you are with halle the 'baby' and wants to be babied again my daughters same when she sees her brother being carried etc
Mine is the same
I agree with this
Mine does this too!
You never said... and I'm super invested... did George finish all 3 bagels😅
🤣🤣🤣 of course he didn’t hahaha! He did give it a good go, but left about a 3rd of it 😅
Are the lenses not interchangeable on that one? Maybe you can trade it in, that's the one perk of cameras with changeable lenses, if the lenses breaks you still have a working camera body. I think you can also buy metal cages for a lot of cameras too which could be a good idea to protect it maybe? So sorry it broke! 😮
It’s not unfortunately! But I will definitely look for a case for the new one!!!
Best of luck!
My three year old is exactly the same at the moment, he keeps saying his legs hurt as well - he doesn’t do it at night though, and I think it’s because he sees me carrying his younger brother around a lot. If it were me I’d probably get the dr to make sure it’s nothing
But yeah our three year olds sound exactly the same so I understand, going from 1 to 2 is such a test of strength
Raising children is a job on it own back in the old days mothers would have more than 10 children, take care of them do the household work and prepare food for the husband
I’d recommend giving him a vitamin D supplement that will help him with the growing pains. 💙
We’re adding this to his supplements! Thank you! Xxx
This government haven’t done much right, but the new childcare scheme is a massive win for parents ❤ good luck with your new career venture ❤️❤️❤️
I've lost count of how many times you've mentioned George's leg pain in your vlogs but you're still not taking him to the doctor 😢
I think she has to be honest. She’s not scared about reaching out for help or going to the Drs so I highly doubt she’s not done this.
Not that I should need to, but just the reassure you that I have been to the doctors for George’s leg pain a few times. Ultimately, it’s growing pains. He’s 3 years old and it hurts. But there’s not too much we can do other than calpol, supplements, massage the area and hot water bottles (if he lets us).
