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!!

The publicity stunt probably worked. I, for one, had to google the dresses she "designed" from public hair and skittles. Surely nobody bought those monstrosities Shock so how can she afford to pay £325 for a pair of minging plastic looking tat? plus 60 other pairs of shoes for a 3 year old!! She is obviously a few sandwiches short of a picnic! Poor, poor child :(

Apologies if this has already been posted (have only read to page 4), but she's going to be a guest speaker at an event about speaking out about sexual abuse. Errr......?!

(I should add that seems in direct conflict with her poor choice of Halloween outfit that has surfaced in some of the articles listed above)

QuarrelsomeQueen · 10/01/2017 23:25

That seems...somewhat ill-advised... Hmm

Isyss · 10/01/2017 23:47

she obviously has money like he beckhams

poochiepants · 10/01/2017 23:52

Reckon she's pitching for a Big Brother stint right now.....

She was on Piers Morgan's show. I feel so sorry for her daughter.

Sarah Bryan suffered panic attack in GMB dressing room after ‘vicious bully’ Piers Morgan reduced her to tears live on air after she sent another mum a £325 invoice for her daughter's scuffed shoes

So the more you spend on shoes the more you love your kids? Hmm

Bullshit

I think the rest of us got that willstarttomorrow was being deliberately tongue in cheek...?

Redglitter · 11/01/2017 02:26

I like that her Twitter account has 'Official' before her name Hmm

WiltingTulip · 11/01/2017 02:49

I'm trying to get my head around it...
She sent her 3 year old to a friend's house for a play date and expected the mother to change her outfit before playing?
I'm much older and a professional, married and financially pretty good and a woman with no real job or talent makes more money than me (as I couldn't afford to dress my dcs in clothes that expensive).
This can't be right....

Oliversmumsarmy · 11/01/2017 05:15

I think you have the money you just choose to spend it on something more relevant than 60 pairs of overpriced shoes that your child would never get round to wearing.

I have taken 3 year olds shoe shopping and just to buy a pair of sandals for the summer takes the patience of a saint. Mine could think of better things they wanted to do rather than shoe shopping. To my 3 year olds shopping was the most boring thing in the world

Oliversmumsarmy · 11/01/2017 05:18

Sorry posted too soon

The idea of fitting 60 pairs on a child must have taken weeks.

hyacinthwannabe · 11/01/2017 07:00

She was reduced to tears on GMB. I don't like Piers Morgan but he was right to pull her on her behaviour.

AwaywiththePixies27 · 11/01/2017 07:37

I learnt this lesson very quickly.

Bought DD a nice outfit for day nursery. Chose the day they did painting and she came home looking like she'd been in a fight with crayola.
She's been sent to day nursery and school and playdates in Primark stuff ever since. She's very active and I'm forever replacing her things. Tights for example. I'd rather buy cheap and easier to replace when they get ruined. It's just what happens when kids play. The posher stuff (outfits from Zara etc) are kept for things like visits to great grandma etc.

ScarletForYa · 11/01/2017 08:08

I've just looked at that link of her dressed as the pedophile victim.

There is something wrong with her. Something very wrong. She has a daughter. How can she do that?

Horrible woman. Angry

CheshireChat · 11/01/2017 11:07

I actually know a little boy about the same age, that was constantly pestered bh his mom about a certain pair of shoes (not them!). He ended up refusing to wear them altogether.

I feel quite sorry for her kids actually.

Ericaequites · 13/01/2017 02:00

Treat tights for little and tween girls as disposable, so to speak. Buy cheap ones, as she will fall and take the knees out.
In eighth grade, my peers and I started daring each other about wearing knee socks into the winter. Knee socks are cheaper, as skinned knees heal. Tights knees do not.

KenzieBoosMummy · 13/01/2017 02:17

What on earth are you all talking about?! HmmHmmHmm Have I missed something?!?!?

KenzieBoosMummy · 13/01/2017 02:29

Never mind! I've caught up!

First of all, how the hell can that child be a model?!

Second, if the boots were that bloody precious then she shouldn't have taken her in them! Or at least warned the other Mum about their value!

Clearly just wants to brag! Probably her child that marked it and thought it would be an ideal way to brag about their money AND get them replaced for free AND get some free publicity!! X

EvansOvalPies - I LOVE your response! 'Discombobulated!!!!' Epic word!!!
