To find Joe Wicks a pain in the bum since he became a dad

I know I could easily sort this problem by unfollwing him on Instagram. I used to enjoy his feed it was positive and cheered me up but since he became a dad he has become a smug first time parent who thinks he knows it all. He constantly posts about how laid back they are and how you just have to stay calm ......

I would say his millions and flexible life probably helps with that being that they are on a month long holiday.

As a harassed parent of 3 children I want to laugh when he suggests you just need to nap with the baby etc
There is no point to this just wondered if I'm a moody cow or anyone else feels the same :p

And the only one losing the plot op is you.

Restarting a threat from April 2019 that you started moaning about him then. Why on earth are you still following if you disagree with him so much Confused

Thread* can't type today!

I disagree panda. I've raised six children who all would eat exactly what she eats without waiting til they're starving. None are obese. And making a child a wait while she's obviously hungry while I show the world how clever I am is just wrong.
There is nothing wrong with healthy snacks.

I found him an annoyance before he had children

Good job I am blissfully unaware of his doings and opinions now.

They just got luck with a good baby.
I think everyone should get one tricky kids to stop them being smug arseholes Grin

If you hate this guy as much as you say you do op, why do you make such an effort to watch the stories on his new account too? If you don't like him, unfollow him, and get on with your life. The fact you started this thread 9 months ago and are still going on about how much you dislike him is quite worrying!

Also anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, it's Dietitian that is the legally protected term. So there's nothing to say that Charlotte Stirling-Reed knows more than you or I.

There's a bit of a fashion amongst mums I know for starting weaning with a week or two of exclusive green veg, each to their own but I'm unconvinced it actually influences baby's tastes at all and haven't seen any evidence from studies, honestly can't believe it's any better than starting with carrot/potato etc.

Yeah, no way I’m taking parenting advice from a bloke, and first time father! Do one, mate.

Bluewall · 26/01/2020 10:00

I unfollowed him but ha e friends who still follow him. Someone shared a recipie and I thought I would give him another go to see if I could get some different meal ideas.

After watching his stories the last week I remembered why I u followed him.

I think an account giving healthy meal ideas for weaning is a great idea but post the recipies maybe with some advice re allergies, textures etc with the input of someone with expertise.

@pandacrocs you have no idea how hungry she anymore than the rest of us but from my own experience of myself and 3 kids if they had breakfast then nothing till 3.30pm and then a slice of toast for dinner at 8pm they would have been hungry in between those times.

A banana or a yoghurt or some crackers and cheese during they day would not make them obese !

I think you're unhealthily obsessed OP - you've been mulling this over for a year now Grin

Based on what? A few minutes fined a day. Honestly, let it go. Or inform social services of your starving concerns Grin

Don't know the guy but in general nobody who 'creates content' stays relevant once they've procreated. Their outpourings on the subject of parenthood are of interest to others in the same boat at similar stages, and fucking stultifying to everyone else.
