I can't believe big Paul took baby Paul to a hotel so they didn't get woken up WTF

TheFairyCaravan · 11/04/2019 10:23

They need to get a grip of Nelly. She runs round ruling the roost while they all sit back with stupid grins on their faces as if to say "isn't she cute?" All their attention is lavished on her while Arthur is left to his own devices then they wonder why he's hitting out.

I said the same about the sleep training ladybird. It wouldn't surprise me if big Paul put his foot down about training little Paul, tbh. It will be interesting to see what happens next week.

Hanging off the curtains I would have been so cross if it was one of mine

MaHeidsGouping · 11/04/2019 16:30

A whole episode without both Pauls!

I thought the same about Sam being desperate to get Rosie asleep in her cot, Little Paul co-sleeps and probably had the boob a lot longer while Rosie is left to do controlled crying in a room that is just cream with no baby comforts. Sam did say on IG that Rosie goes down at 6pm every night no problem and sleeps thru now.

Nelly is so over the top, I can't stand the way they all egg her on to act to the camera.

OneInAMillionYou · 11/04/2019 21:13

I feel a little bad saying this about a child, but Nelly's constant attention seeking is horrendous. Of course, it's her parents fault, but what on earth is she going to grow up to be?

I thought some school discipline might have sorted her out but I guess they cannot overcome what is happening in the home?

I'm sure the guests at Billie's 901st bridal shower breathed a sigh of relief when the little brat was collected and they could stop pretending to be entranced at her 'performance'. I try and fast forward through as much as I can but for some reason she seems to be taking up more and more of the programme.

WeMarchOn · 12/04/2019 09:02

What got me was when Sam was talking to her PA and Rosie was screaming, Sam thought it was adorable but I would have said no more I'm talking, Rosie is old enough to understand that.

HJWT · 12/04/2019 09:24

Paul is an absolute freak and if I was sam I would of left a long time ago ! I love how he doesn't give 2 shits about Rosie being sleep trained or leaving her behind for a night but with 'Baby' Paul he constantly kicks of... Hmm

I think Sam packed him off to the hotel so she could get on with it with Rosie as she knew Paul would end up cracking and picking Rosie up out of the cot.

whichhouseisbest · 12/04/2019 16:02

I think Paul has said he won't stop sharing with Paul till Sam got Rosie in her own cot, no doubt assuming she wouldn't manage it.
How bloody weird big and little Paul staying in a hotel, just because Sam was trying to get Rosie in her cot, they have more money than sense.
I felt sorry for Arthur on the naughty step, crying with the cameraman stood filming him, it didn't sit well with me. Nellie is so spoiled, I was cringing when she was on the mic with all the women applauding and cheering for her.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 12/04/2019 16:19

How old is Arthur?

MaHeidsGouping · 12/04/2019 16:29

He was 2 last month, his birthday was while they were all in the Maldives for the wedding.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 12/04/2019 16:34

I dont know if its just to make a show, but my god does Sam spin out every aspect of having children. Putting your child in a cot for the first time requires your partner and son to move to a hotel and your mum to come stay

3in4years · 12/04/2019 22:39

Heartbreaking watching poor Rosie sleep train on tv. Does that child ever smile? Baby Paul was so adored at that age and she just looks so miserable.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 12/04/2019 22:41

She has a little cry then went to sleep, all night,that's not heartbreaking 😂

whichhouseisbest · 13/04/2019 00:18

They did say she woke at 2am, I can't imagine Sam would agree to being filmed tearing her hair out in the middle of the night trying to get her back to sleep... wouldn't fit with her perfect mum image.
I hate seeing babies/toddlers crying on TV, we all know they do it but I hate watching it.

3in4years · 13/04/2019 10:16

Yes, such a massive invasion of privacy.

3in4years · 13/04/2019 10:17

I much prefer the episodes with Paul and Gaynor in them, but I think Nelly and Greg like the airtime more.

ALemonyPea · 13/04/2019 10:24

I spent most of the episode wondering why Rosie was the one needing sleep trained when little Paul was still sleeping with his dad. Glad to see at the end that the next episode has him moving to his own room. The whole sleep set up is weird.

It looks like they were keen to keep little Paul a baby for so long, they're not as interested in Rosie as they are Paul, it's sad to see. Big Paul more than Sam though, he never seems to do anything with her.

Nelly is quite the diva. I can only imagine how she will be as a teenager. Arthur is a cutie though.

MiniCooperLover · 13/04/2019 16:21

I'm guessing they thought Rosie would be the most difficult to do so let's get her sorted first. Lots of parents struggle to sleep train the second one because they're worried about them waking the first one so I can understand Paul/Paul not being there but why a hotel, why not Gaynor's house?. Why was Rosie's room so dark? That's what I didn't like.

Beaniebeemer · 17/04/2019 22:39

Why is Sam acting all dumb about the smear test issue. Saying she hadn’t had a smear for 5 years and then when they were showing snippets of next weeks episode she tells the nurse that the results of her last smear found abnormal cells. A few episodes back she was saying dumb stuff about contraception. What message does that send out? Also she’s wondering why Paul won’t sleep and giving him tea in a bottle. Unless it’s decaff that’s going to have him buzzing!

sauvignonblancplz · 17/04/2019 22:55

I agree with the difference between Rosie and Paul. Paul was a lot more cosseted whereas as Rosie barely gets a look in.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 17/04/2019 23:02

Isn't that the same with most second kids? 😂

OneInAMillionYou · 18/04/2019 00:09

Both sets of parents are creating future monsters. Do those children ever hear the word 'no'?
The drama about Paul sleeping in his own bed... You TELL him this is where he sleeps and reinforce that by your behaviour. It takes time and perseverance and unfortunately Sam has to be even more determined because her partner is not helping create a united front.

This sort of parenting, creating entitlement and selfishness, is appalling.

HJWT · 18/04/2019 07:31

@OneInAMillionYou 100%, my niece is 7 and still getting in bed with her parents every night 🙄

OP posts:
chocolatelog · 18/04/2019 08:53

Was in tears last night when they showed the hospice 😔

Sam and Paul irritate me, it's like they can't stop smiling even when their cross at each other. I couldn't cope with a 3 year old in bed with me for all those years. One night last week dd2 woke up and I put her in my bed. 2 hours she lasted before I put her back in her own.

And sams always pandering to little Paul it's sickly.
