To think that if you pay £325 for children's shoes then you can't complain if they get scuffed?

Gold medal winning sadface here. The mother does seem to have made a career out of this sort of publicity but seriously, kids are tough on their clothes and shoes. If you're not happy with that then don't spend over £300 on a pair!!

She made a pubic hair dress Shock

QueenoftheAndals · 06/01/2017 17:28

I know. Quite the publicity seeker isn't she?

Poor little girl - I'm guessing she won't be invited to any more 'play dates' from now on.

DailyFail1 · 06/01/2017 17:29

I think she was angry because the other girl had drawn on them. Still unreasonable to spend £300 on shoes when you clearly can't afford to replace them, but I'd be pissed off in this situation too.

WriterNeedsHelp2017 · 06/01/2017 17:32

The little girl has 60+ pairs of shoes, though!

Manumission · 06/01/2017 17:33

It's all invented for publicity.

Idiot woman.

brasty · 06/01/2017 17:33

I never understand the issue with scuffed shoes. You polish them. Simple.

liz70 · 06/01/2017 17:34

Daft cow. I feel sorry for that poor child.

Aeroflotgirl · 06/01/2017 17:34

This woman is totally stupid. Well done for plastering you and your dd face on social and national media for all to see! I don't think she will get many offers of parties and playdates now, or many friends, poor thing. If she is going on a playdate, why on earth is she dressed in her 'work' clothes! She sees this poor little girl as a fashion accessory, not a child. What will she do when her girl grows up and starts dirtying her clothes and ruining her clothes by herself, sue her! Those shoes are not very good, if they get scuffed like that after one playdate, dds Kickers would never have such a thing!

Instead of blaming the other poor mother who tried to do you a favour by looking after your dd for a couple of hours, look to yourself!

Dawndonnaagain · 06/01/2017 17:35

Sounds like the poor girl got the chance to play normally and this was the result. Unfortunate but if you're daft enough to dress your child like this (whilst looking down on lesser mortals purchasing from Primark) I'm afraid it's your own damned fault.

EwanWhosearmy · 06/01/2017 17:36

The 3 yo was on a "playdate" without her mother Hmm. Don't you normally go with them at that age?

Aeroflotgirl · 06/01/2017 17:36

What is she going to do, when the girl starts school, and shoes get muddy at playtime, and there could be a chance of paint on her clothes, sue the school, don't think that would happen!

TheWitTank · 06/01/2017 17:37

Clearly someone needs the publicity for her genital inspired dresses (thats not avant-garde, its grim). Buying expensive shoes for a toddler is idiotic. She is a child, not an accessory.

EvansOvalPies · 06/01/2017 17:37

Who, in their right mind, pays £300+ for a pair of child's shoes (when they'll have outgrown them in months anyway) and then sends them off to play, and then complains when they come home with play marks on them? Just who? That poor little girl is going to grow up a very mixed up and discombobulated person, thinking she is not allowed to play and have fun for fear of marks on her clothing and the tumult that will follow, from her weird Mum.

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 06/01/2017 17:37

Ridiculous to spend that if u can't afford to replace them.
Why doesn't she have show clothes and seperate playdate/nursery stuff. I did for my girls and their entire wardrobes didn't cost £300!

FormerlyFrikadela01 · 06/01/2017 17:38

I know nothing about modelling so this might be a stupid question but why would should need the shoes for her modelling "jobs"? Don't they provide the clothes?

brasty · 06/01/2017 17:40

This is a career move. She is looking for publicity, and has probably told the other woman that.

missbishi · 06/01/2017 17:41

I think she was angry because the other girl had drawn on them

No mention of the other girl drawing on the boot in the article - just says "her new Italian leather shoes are all scuffed and have a Sharpie Mark on them".

MrsHouseBrownie · 06/01/2017 17:41

Poor child is going to have the most boring childhood if she has to remain as an immaculate, pristine 'model' doll for the whole of it!

MoreProseccoNow · 06/01/2017 17:42

I love the bit where she says that her shoes don't get worn outside - WTF?!

Clearly a publicity stunt & self-promotion tactic.

TheTantrumCometh · 06/01/2017 17:42

I could probably make a pubic hair duvet with the amount I've got

TheFairyCaravan · 06/01/2017 17:44

She's being ridiculous. I bet the poor kid has never been mucky.

Silly woman needs to unclench

Maudlinmaud · 06/01/2017 17:44

This stinks and there is a distinct whiff off Mommy Dearest.... no wire hangers.
That poor child.

SolomanDaisy · 06/01/2017 17:46

I love the fact she's not allowed to go outside in these shoes and she takes outside shoes with her. Shoes you only wear inside aren't shoes, they're slippers.

ddubsgirl77 · 06/01/2017 17:49

When my twins were at nursery there was another set of twin girls,Thier mum sent them in a very expensive brand of clothes and moaned & shouted when they came out and our first had paint over them,the teacher just looked at the mum and said well this is a nursery,we do painting and we try our best to cover the children and we do say not to send them in clothes that you don't want to get paint etc on' turned around and walked back in,rest of us trying not to laugh!
