Lovely to see you back,having two teen girls I understand,also with friendships it’s a nightmare,bullying ect ,and the uniform issues,thankfully my sixteen year old has just left school and is going to college with no uniform wear what you want so she is happy,sending love x
Lovely to see you back ❤ appreciate you wanted to take step back and needed sometimes isn't it. My little boy starts school in September aswell such a mixture of emotions but I know deep down once he is settled he will love it and absolutely thrive just an adjustment for everyone isn't it x
Good to see you back. I have a son and a daughter and remember my daughter at the same age as Violet being similar with attitude. Patience is key and knowing that you are there to chat etc which I know you are. It is hard watching your kids go through adolescence. xx
Ahh Claire so nice to see you, I don’t watch TH-cam much anymore but it was lovely to hear what you’re up to. Miles reminds me so much of Alister at that age. He will be great at school, and you will find your groove, don’t worry 🙂
Claire this came at the right time lol my eldest is in school now for his hour transition 🥹 stressfully drinking a cuppa and watching your vlog. Lovely to see an update and lots of luck for Myles starting too x
Lovely to see you again your vlogs are so interesting to watch I've watched for years!! My children are adults now but I remember well the trauma of teenagers!! Try not to worry too much all will be well. It is hard for young people - much to negotiate without the life experience to help. I've said before I love geese so glad you have a few more to make up the gaggle gang!! They always make me laugh they are such characters. Thanks for posting I really enjoy your vlogs.
I dont blame you wanting to have a break! Making videos must be alot & its good to step back for a bit. My daughter is starting secondary in September & im expecting issues like your having with Violet to come 🥴 but like you say its being a bit nit picky, if shes doing well in her classes surely that's what counts! 👌🏻
Year 8 see’s the makeup coming in I know this with my eldest daughter and the nail varnish which at the school my kids went to wasn’t allowed ,she was always being sent to the office to get it removed .😅. Girls tend to settle down when they hit year 11. Definitely hard to parent a teenager girl than a teen boy.X
Being a teenager is tough. I attended a private school. Very strict dress code. It’s tough. Teenagers judge each other. Then add on a strict teacher harping on you. I feel for her. However, rules must be followed. It seems to stress out a mom. Hang in there. Luv your videos. You have a lovely family. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad my 16yr old has left school now, one thing that grinded on me was being called for uniform! They should be thankful they are in school. There are so many rules and they do go OTT with them, especially the less important ones. Oh the joys of girls 😂 Maybe she's making up for the good baby and toddler stages 🤣
Welcome back! I have been following you along on Tik Tok. Yes, parenting is tough. I have two boys and the eye rolls 🙄 and attitude can be hard to take. Glad you are taking time for yourself.
Hi claire nice to see you back lovely video from monday hope that when the children break up for the summer holidays that you can all feel better your hair looks nice hope that your farm shop is doing great take care thanks for your upload nice as always x
🎉 welcome back, it's always good to have a social media detox. I try and come off social media twice a year. Refreshes the brain 😁 I can't believe Myles is 5 in September, my goodness time has flown. It's very normal to have a sort of grieving process when the youngest goes to school. It's that stage of baby/toddler/preschool era is over and they are growing up. Southbourne is so lovely. My aunt lived there so we had many summer holidays running up and down the zigzag. The bikes are a brilliant idea. Have a wonderful week and it's so good to see you and the farm again.
Lovely catch up. It’s a funny age for girls I find… things will settle down a bit in year 8 in my experience. Can I ask where you got your bag from? Xx
Hi Claire, good to catch up, I’m not on TH-cam much these days. I CANNOT believe that Miles is nearly 5…I just can’t fathom how that can be, in my head I thought he would be 2/3 😱. great to catch up
I was trying to think the orher day who i seen using one of the wagons and then i remembered that it was you for camping / festivals was going to go back on your vlog then u popped up and had vought a new wagon how unreal the universe us working in my favour today . Glad 2c ya back missed you px
Hi Claire, so glad you’re back I’ve missed your vlogs. I loved how all the cows in the field ran down to you. How I’d love to live near that beach, it’s beautiful. Our beach is 2 hrs away & the sea is brown 🙁 I know all about dramas with girls, my 3 was a nightmare when they were young 😳 if it wasn’t one it was another. And yes the teachers are ott half the time they over dramatize things.
Definitely not being unreasonable with regards to the whole school situation the amount of times my daughter (14) gets behaviour points for silly things like being in the toilet, having too many earrings in being a minute late to lesson wearing leggings when she's had pe its ridiculous!! I'm totally with you schools are for education not nit picking every day it's draining! So I can totally relate. X
@@sam.t1470 oh yes she got a mark for going to the toilet and wearing her school jumper 🤦🏻♀️ apparently because it’s summer they’re not allowed to wear them.. even though she gets cold .. can’t win 🙃
Aw Claire. Its difficult. Im just starting the secondary school journey with my eldest.. and im not looking forward to it at all... i hear so many stories about girls! My youngest also starts school in august (we are in Scotland).. hes so excited to go as am i!
Nice to see you back but totally understand how life can be as a mum! I did msg you on instagram just to check in as I've got similar age children and in my 40's and know how tough it can be at times with life and our age! I'm glad you are mostly ok but If you need long breaks off vlogging etc , have them as life and parenting is hard! I love how you had some you time, that's something I definitely need to incorporate into my life right now! Thanks for the inspiration and hope things get better with vi... maybe try a bribe with a money Reward if she just rolls the skirt down a bit and lessons the attitude she gets rewarded every fri . It's hard being a teen but sometimes I find giving an incentive and rewarding my older ones works a bit like when they young 😊 xx
@@clairelou09011988 I feel More tired having a 16,12 & 6 year old than when they were all smaller. The mental load is heavier the older they get alongside the physical load of daily life and us growing older . I feel it too, you aren't alone . Take care if yourself too and have a good week xx
My year 7 boy is the same he got the award for most likely to make you laugh and I think I know what you mean xxx I work in education and I agree uniform Is over the top if a child is in school, learning and generally ok then why create more stress x
My daughter is going into secondary in September. she's already got such an attitude, I definitely will have alot of phone calls from school. My son is also starting primary in September I can remember being pregnant at the same time as you and loving watch all your updates.
@clairelou09011988 I'm really trying to give her grace and remember what it was like at that age but my god I want to scream into a pillow some times 😂
I’ve got an almost 14 year old girl too Claire and I can sympathise with you . My daughter was always getting involved in other folks drama , then getting herself into trouble . The skirts 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ yup … although the school have never phoned me regarding this but I know they do tell them to pull them down . X
My daughter is in year 8 ive had drama with friendships, like you skirts. My daughter wears her skirt properly now. everything you are going through ive gone through. social media doesnt help either! Ive had to be tough on my daughter at times to keep her in line. Rules are rules at the end of the day! They have to learn.
I have 3 girls,my youngest has just left Yr 11..honestly Yrs7-9 are the hardest years for girls…they go to high school they see all of the year 10&11 girls and think they have to act,dress etc just like them…friendship group dramas nearly sent me insane…the school they went too was so so strict,like there needs to be rules and I wouldn’t work in a high school but they are still human beings..they want them to be like soldiers or robots..and I personally think it can be too much sometimes,I truly think some teachers are on a power trip..my girls had to wear a pinafore even the older girls…this was to stop them rolling their skirt up and to cover their chest area…the reasons why, are basically not to distract the boys…😡 which makes me feel sick…I couldn’t imagine being a teen girl growing up in the world now,we had it so easy compared to them..😩 everything they do,say,wear is under a magnifying glass..the become like sheep where they can’t wear something if none of the other girls have…it does change as they get older,but it can be so intense for them…its a really hard balance of telling them off and feeling bad off them..😢x
I totally feel your pain Claire, Emily is also 12 in year 7 here in Brighton. She is also rolling the skirt up etc. I’ve given up commenting because she will do what she wants & has to learn for herself! Being a girl mum can be really hard work; the answering back, the lairyness & the grumpiness 😩
@@clairelou09011988 it’s really hard but Violet has a great personality. You don’t want her to dull her sparkle, sometimes they just need to reign it in a bit. Emily is really struggling with hormones, periods etc. it’s a super tough age xx
Hi ,Clare girls have been doing this for decades and can’t see it changing. Yes there are rules in school but girls are harder. My granddaughter is 14 and is exactly the same with uniform and makeup. Don’t like them wearing lots of makeup to s hood. My granddaughter wears far too much makeup for my liking. My son and daughter in law keep having phone calls from school and it is causing problems at home. I do hope we can all get through this phase. Roll on the holidays. Take care Clare xxxx
I have one girl, my older 2 are boys, and she is 5, but I'm not happy if her skirt is any shorter than her knee 😅😅 have a feeling I'm in for a fight when she hits secondary 😅
I think the whole uniform situation is ridiculous, it’s school not work. Year 7 is wild for wanting to fit in and peer pressure and if everyone is rolling skirts up then she won’t want to feel left out. I’m with you on the way you handle it and your outlook on it. I also find teachers are more strict not rather than letting children have individual personalities they want them to just conform which is sad x
I feel your pain. My daughter is a high flyer academically but I get emails and phone calls home because she's not wearing her bloody tie. She has it in her bag but doesn't wear it!!!! There are other very personal things going on that school have been so supportive with but it boils my blood when they make such a drama over small stuff. It's not like she goes out of school grounds and needs to be identifiable!!! Like you say schools are for learning. My daughter has 98.99% attendance this year but they still moan about her tie. Perhaps they need to look at the kids who are never at school/ taken out regularly for holidays and deal with that instead.
So good 2 see u bk! Your hair Claire!..its sooo blonde! And long..my little boy starting school September too..crazy isnt it, i remember messaging ypu asking about certain toys Myles was using when they were 1! And yes girls are tricky..i have 3 girls and little boy being my last..2 teenage girls and one littler girl....but it sounds like they go to the same school😂...same awful skirt that they all roll up..same strict rules...i think its the same everywhere tbh..but yeah teenage girls are tricky..give me little children anytime over teenagers...similar again to you I have the teenagers, had big age gap then the little 2..but they all are hardwork in their own stage..much easier if they are all teenagers or all little at the same time...its hard to juggle them all sometimes isnt it..thanku 4 vlog lovely 2 see u bk! Xx
Yeah I think all schools have the skirt rules, I’m just sick of hearing about this bloody skirt now 😂🙃 yeah teenagers are definitely hard in their own way! Xx
Welcome back Claire ❤ I never wore a skirt in school it was always flared trousers 😂😂😂 can’t believe ur getting hassled by the school tho that’s disgusting it’s not ur responsibility really as Violet is becoming her own person my niece wears skirts into school and rolls them up but the school doesn’t care as like violet she wears shorts under 😂😂😂 great vlog hun hope u are all doing well love Claire from Bradford ❤❤❤ xx
I agree. I don’t think the school should contact you about her uniform. The uniform is between them and her and she deals with the consequences. There is nothing you can do about it. Good luck. 🤞
I hear you x Teenage girls - the great thing i have found is that when they have children of their own you can be very close and a great support to them , I live 5 minutes drive from one daughter and grandchildren but son is in USA and about to become an American citizen
I figure the skirt situation could be worse its only her legs on show it would be worse if they were wearing their shirts / blouses opened revealing more than they should . I am pretty lax to i figure pick your battles and my 3 teenage girls 19 18 and 16 all turned out great px
@@clairelou09011988 i know my girls school here in Northern Ireland was the same and i feel there are bigger issues they could be addressing such as bulling mental health awareness self care etc i expect they may not even wear school uniforms in the future px
Hi. I love the update on your family’s life. It’s nice to know we are all experiencing the same things. The beach looked lovely. Was that a bikini top you were wearing on the beach or your bra as I really like the colour? Keep making these great videos😘
All girls are the same, attitude, pulling skirts up and dramas with other girls. Boys are so different, I agree on the school uniform thing, I was contacted once saying my sons school shoes, were too much like black trainers, I’d bought them from Clark’s and they classed them as school shoes. I said to them well they cost me £40 and I’m not buying him anymore so tough, it’s not like they had branded writing and white or any other colour on them, it doesn’t affect their learning so I don’t know why it’s such a big thing x
@@clairelou09011988 I know I was so annoyed. I said well do you want me to show the receipt stating they are from Clark’s school section and you can pay for another pair if you’re not satisfied with him wearing them. They soon backed down 🤭
Lovely to see you back. I would be concerned tbh Claire if she’s having attitude at school and not doing as she’s told re the skirt. When she is at work, she can’t back chat then. Life unfortunately is about following rules at times. Personally I wouldn’t stand for that at all and she would be in a lot of trouble. Just my opinion as you have asked for viewers thoughts xx
Well yeah tbh she’s knows I’m not happy.. like I said it’s getting everyone frustrated.. just pull the skirt down I say on a daily basis 🙃🤦🏻♀️ it’s just not worth the hassle is it she should definitely follow the rules.
Lovely to see you back,having two teen girls I understand,also with friendships it’s a nightmare,bullying ect ,and the uniform issues,thankfully my sixteen year old has just left school and is going to college with no uniform wear what you want so she is happy,sending love x

I agree. I don’t think the school should contact you about her uniform. The uniform is between them and her and she deals with the consequences. There is nothing you can do about it. Good luck. 🤞
Yes I agree!
I hear you x
Teenage girls - the great thing i have found is that when they have children of their own you can be very close and a great support to them , I live 5 minutes drive from one daughter and grandchildren but son is in USA and about to become an American citizen
Aww that’s nice! Yeah I try to see both ends of the spectrum.. I mean I know Violet better than any teacher! .
I can’t believe myles is going to school, i remember you being pregnant with him
I know I can’t believe it tbh 🥹
I figure the skirt situation could be worse its only her legs on show it would be worse if they were wearing their shirts / blouses opened revealing more than they should . I am pretty lax to i figure pick your battles and my 3 teenage girls 19 18 and 16 all turned out great px
Yeah I’m the same! They wear shorts underneath to. I feel they’re just being nit picky.. I’m sick of hearing about the skirt 😂🙃
@@clairelou09011988 i know my girls school here in Northern Ireland was the same and i feel there are bigger issues they could be addressing such as bulling mental health awareness self care etc i expect they may not even wear school uniforms in the future px
We all did it back in the day ,i agree more pressing things than uniform
We did!
Hi. I love the update on your family’s life. It’s nice to know we are all experiencing the same things. The beach looked lovely. Was that a bikini top you were wearing on the beach or your bra as I really like the colour? Keep making these great videos😘
Ah thank you,it’s actually a sports type bra! From Gymshark , very old 🙃
All girls are the same, attitude, pulling skirts up and dramas with other girls. Boys are so different, I agree on the school uniform thing, I was contacted once saying my sons school shoes, were too much like black trainers, I’d bought them from Clark’s and they classed them as school shoes. I said to them well they cost me £40 and I’m not buying him anymore so tough, it’s not like they had branded writing and white or any other colour on them, it doesn’t affect their learning so I don’t know why it’s such a big thing x
Wow how ridiculous I wouldn’t change them either 🙃🙏
@@clairelou09011988 I know I was so annoyed. I said well do you want me to show the receipt stating they are from Clark’s school section and you can pay for another pair if you’re not satisfied with him wearing them. They soon backed down 🤭
Can not believe Miles is almost 5. Can remember you being pregnant with him where does time go?
I know can’t believe it 🥹
I love your watch. Could you please share where it's from?
It’s an Apple Watch 😀
Thanks
Just curious, are you close to Ramsgate?
No we’re not 😀
Lovely to see you back.
I would be concerned tbh Claire if she’s having attitude at school and not doing as she’s told re the skirt. When she is at work, she can’t back chat then. Life unfortunately is about following rules at times. Personally I wouldn’t stand for that at all and she would be in a lot of trouble. Just my opinion as you have asked for viewers thoughts xx
Well yeah tbh she’s knows I’m not happy.. like I said it’s getting everyone frustrated.. just pull the skirt down I say on a daily basis 🙃🤦🏻♀️ it’s just not worth the hassle is it she should definitely follow the rules.
They just want the kids to be sheep,not have any individuality
Lovely to see you back. ❤❤❤
