Omg Gaynor is an MNetter. Hello Gaynor 😁.

Just watching this now. First of all makes me mega broody!!! Secondly I really like Billie and Gregg, seem really down to earth and I know others probably won't agree but I quite like big Paul and think he's just not up for the fame thing.

Anyone else watching?

Lol maheidsgrouping very true! Bet the clothing designers were fuming in case he got any on the outfits..

I know it was on a few weeks back now but do you remember the episode where she went on a photo shoot and forgot her pump so had to send a minion to Boots to buy a (£120 Medela) pump? I'm calling bullshit on forgetting the pump - she's bloody obsessed with breastfeeding she left it at home on purpose so she could make a meal out of "look at all my milk! Look everyone! No one has ever breastfed before!"

GunpowderGelatine · 21/12/2018 01:01

I also wonder where Big Paul's dad is and if his bizarre reliance on his son has anything to do with a dysfunctional father/son relationship of his own?

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 21/12/2018 15:03

well theres clearly a back story to the dad leaving, Gaynor brining the boys up, becoming a born again Christian, mothering them too much...text book!

Thesnobbymiddleclassone · 21/12/2018 15:11

I couldn't believe the state of the car seat and the fact he still has that jacket on! That child is going to go straight through the front of the car with an emergency break.

To top it off, Sam isn't even wearing her seat belt properly.

OneInAMillionYou · 21/12/2018 16:48

Agree with everyone about the car seat.

They seem to be very careless drivers in any event. I remember last series when they were going to Legoland and Paul was driving on the motorway and looking over at Sam's phone as she was showing him alternative rooms 🙄

sprinkleofsunshine · 21/12/2018 17:00

I need to catch up on last weeks. Yeah I think Greg does something with advertising perhaps? He def worked when they were in towie and he chose not to be on it.

Big Paul is being so selfish about sending Baby Paul to daycare. He's not thinking about what is best for him and he's going to have such a shock when he starts school! Also I nearly choked when he said he gets such an education from me already 😂😂

I don't find Sam too annoying but have always preferred billie & Greg they seem much more normal.

sprinkleofsunshine · 21/12/2018 17:00

This weeks*

Underworld345 · 21/12/2018 19:53

Why would she have bad intentions with going to the Maldives? They’re sisters and they seem to be very close. Maybe she’s going to the Maldives, I don’t know, because it’s a nice place.

And ok she goes on about breastfeeding a lot but we don’t know what her reasons are for that. Maybe she is trying to normalise it and not brag.

Underworld345 · 21/12/2018 19:54

Thank god there’s talk about getting Paul’s eyebrows sorted.

UhYeahISureHopeItDoes · 22/12/2018 01:02

@HJWT omg yes! Her kids don't need to be strapped in a car seat, they can have biscuits for breakfast, junk food all day and constant screen time but it's fine because they were breastfed.

LOVE Billie and Greg. Nelly is coming along so well with school and Arthur is just so cute!! And yes I think Sam and Paul will be jealous he loved the football. Although it's probably because Arthur is allowed to socialise and Paul is kept in the house to sit and look pretty for IG. Loved watching Billie grill Paul about the preschool. At least Billie has the child's needs as her first priority.

Paul at 'work', uhm no he's sulking at mummy's house because his child has a better social life than he does.Grin

And Sam, I don't know if it was last series or just a few episodes ago, absolutely adamant she wouldn't have a nanny. No I need my kids with us. We want them with us we bring them to work blah blah. Absolutely no trouble having a nanny under the disguise of a 'PA' though has she....

Awkward watching her sat in the chair desperately trying to get bey&jay style behind the scenes pictures with a photographer and making him take pictures of her pumping? Also practically begging Paul to look at her on the red carpet so they can get the 'romantic shot' BlushHmm

Baby Paul's tantrums. It's not the first time he's kicked out at people, pushed things into people and physically hit them. Never once been disciplined for it.

I have to admit I didn't breastfed until my child was one but am I right in saying it's a 'supply and demand' thing? Rosie is weaned, so how the fuck do sams tits need milking so often. Rosie is not feeding all through the day, there isn't a constant need for milk. The constant pumping and dumping is strange to me. And it's only when she's out with other people who don't have kids (hen do, photo shoots etc).

LutherRalph1 · 22/12/2018 08:33

I went back and watched the old episodes of mummy/ baby diaries, and during a gathering at sams old house with her friends, they sat and googled whether breastfeeding was adequate contraception - the answer was that it was not

A couple of series later, she is pregnant with Rosie and saying to the camera " I didn't think I could get pregnant whilst breastfeeding" 🤨

LardLizard · 22/12/2018 09:59

Surely even Billie must think Sam acts like a dick !!

LanaLily11 · 23/12/2018 08:21

Greg must work as a friend of mine regularly sees him on Liverpool Street or Bank tube station in a suit!

Scotschic · 23/12/2018 08:51

I heard Greg was a stockbroker, this was a few years back, although I’m unsure if this is trueHmm

Hogtini · 23/12/2018 11:22

The difference in Sam & Billie's IG yday - Sam's was all paid ads for what she was wearing and Billie's was a lovely day out with Nelly meeting Santa.
Greg definitely works and he's more careful with money from comments he's made on the show.

HJWT · 23/12/2018 12:44

@Scotschic he defo worked when Billie was pregnant with Nellie as that's how they got that house, it says online he's a stockbroker and business man but Billie and Greg like to keep that part of there life private... obviously if he's a high up professional he doesn't need people following him round saying how much they love the show etc so better to keep his side on the DL

Seahawk80 · 23/12/2018 13:48

@UhYeahISureHopeItDoes I was just thinking the same about Sam constantly pumping when Rosie is one! I breastfed until DS was 14 months - he was so hard to wean off the boob! But I went back to work when he was 1 and I was away from him for 10 hours a day and only had to pump once because I'd missed bedtime! Sam must have a ridiculous amount of milk (because she pumps every 5 mins 😂)

M0reGinPlease · 23/12/2018 21:36

Just caught up on the final ep...

Does Sam not realise breast milk is made on a supply and demand basis? Why is she still excessively pumping like she has a newborn?!

mintich · 23/12/2018 21:41

I have wondered if Greg works as he does the nursery run quite often and I see him at soft play quite a bit. He could be working from home some days though

MiniCooperLover · 24/12/2018 10:28

I see they're in the Maldives still so staying for Xmas which is amazing but seems a bit excessive if you're heading back in a couple of months for your sisters wedding?

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 24/12/2018 11:51

Sam is clearly subscribing to the ecclestone/ macintosh school of thought that you post pictures to Instagram for am living you deserve 8 holidays a year

Scoose · 24/12/2018 14:50

I still don't understand why, out of all of the places in the world they could go, they chose the Maldives knowing they will be back there for billies wedding. It seems a bit "I was here first" to me and oneupmanship. I think billie and gregg are much more down to earth and I think gregg would soon let billie know if she was getting too big for her boots. I think Sam thinks she's the only person to ever breastfeed it's so boring, I really don't know what's happened to her she used to be likeable, now she's just coming across as a massive knob.

vjg13 · 26/12/2018 07:43

It does work for them though, the DM sidebar of shame Blushhas cobbled together yet another "newsworthy" story from the pictures. It does make you think what will be the effect on the kids in years to come from this level of exposure and attention.

LardLizard · 28/12/2018 21:14

just watching the last one, sure enough two mins in the breast pump comes out
She really is quite obsessed
Really is not normal
Esp with a one year old, starting to feel a bit sorry for her really
