Oh boy! I'm apparently "guilty" of the same thing too. At about 3-4 months my daughter started watching us eat so I started to give her bits of our food and since she handled it fine and liked it I just kept doing it. My partner's mother went crazy at me (in the middle of a restaurant!) when she saw me doing it one day though. I just thought seriously?! It's not like I just chucked her a piece of steak and left her to her own devices...they were more bite dissolvable type foods anyway and she was supervised.

All kids are different and if you made the right call for yours (which it's obvious you did!) then who are people to judge?! That whole "lazy parenting" thing doesn't even make sense. I think it would be much more lazy to just leave them on baby foods and purees knowing that they were struggling with reflux instead of trying to find an alternative.

You should have put your plate of food in front of your baby just for another reaction haha. Or better yet, pretend you had given her some chocolate sauce. My grandmothers basic rule was if my child was looking at me eating and showed signs of wanting to eat the way we were, then it was not too early. There is no such thing. Some children will walk at 9 months, others at 18 months. Every child has their own speed and readiness, why people bother to comment drives me up the wall. Shut up and don't say anything at all. It's even more annoying when some people don't even know what it is like to have children and comment *rolls eyes

Exactly right about the lazy parenting concept btw

Nobody has to like or care about or follow anyone. The thing is, if you had followed her since the show, you'd see that she's worked very hard on repairing her life and her image, and her friendship with Tahlia, and seems to be deeply sorry for the mistakes she's made. She also seems to accept a certain amount of negative reaction to her along with the good, because she did ask for the limelight by doing the show. Yet she continues to cop some genuinely shocking online abuse more than a year later, which says far more about the people who feel the need to do that than it does about her or anything she's done. Again, it's fine to dislike her or not particularly care what she does with her life, and most of us have said mean things about various HMs from time to time, but having a little compassion for other human beings never hurt anyone. It's astonishingly rare here these days, so that's the last I'll say for a bit, I think.

Well said @littlebear
 
lol now Jake wants Skye again. I assume he's changed his mind today now that he sees she has a good shot of winning $200k+

'Leo's cutting my grass!': Jake criticises Big Brother intruder's relationship with Skye as he admits he would pursue a romance with the bubbly blonde over Lisa

He became the first guy to enjoy a romance within the Big Brother Australia house when he kissed Skye.

But Jake was feeling the heat of competition when Leo entered the house as an intruder last week and quickly set his sights on the bubbly blonde.

Following his elimination on Monday night, the 25-year-old told Daily Mail Australia 'I felt like I was getting my grass cut,' and admitted that Leo was his least favourite housemate because he's 'in there playing a game, he wants to win some money, he's got an agenda.'

'He knows how important a showmance is,' Jake said.

'Leo walked in there with his game face on and didn't want to spend a second with me...I had a good relationships with Skye and Lisa and he just wanted to work out which girl he wanted to hook up with.'

The student, who currently lives in Sydney, shared smooches with both Skye and Lisa, and on Monday night's show indicated he was more interested in the latter, but it appears he's had a change of heart by Tuesday.

'I think I've got a really great friendship with Lisa but I'd probably pursue what was going on with Syke,' Jake admitted.

He said that what fans see of her on the show is '100% Skye' and that '‘she’s got a really great social awareness, she’s very socially smart. She’s just a bubbly, friendly person.’

Soon after the amateur rapper hit the Big Brother house, news leaked that he lived with last year's winner, Tim Dormer, before his time on the show.

But now that he's out, Jake doesn't know if he'll be living with his curly haired companion again.

'I kind of said "here's my room, if you get someone to move into it then cool."'

He acknowledged that their relationship 'was always going to play a big part' in how Australia sees him, but his priority on the show was to make sure he distinguished himself.

'Having any association with Tim is going to put me in his shadow,' Jake said, 'I didn't want to be seen as another Tim.'

I got a blasting for starting my kids at three months on solids. Yep. You heard right. I started at three months! Do you know the lectures I got about how their muscles are not prepared for solids at that age and that it is pointless because a child at 6 months will pick it up better and that I am confusing the baby etc... My favourite was that it was lazy parenting... Hmm. My boys had pretty bad reflux so solids helped them keep the milk down and keep food in their body. My mother in law and grandmother recommended it and they were there to help and guide me. They were right. They said in their home countries that they did not have supply of milk like they do here in Australia so starting solids early was quite common.

I"m laughing at all these posts regarding parenting. Most of them are things that I have done and I now have a very healthy adult who is rarely sick and had her first visit to the docs at around 4 years old. I guess these days I would be classed as a terrible mother - bottle fed baby (not everyone has boobs that produce), she slept on a small pillow from the time she came home, small solids at 3mths, cows milk gradual from 7 - 12mths (boil, water down & gradually increase). If she was asleep & I needed to go out, no problem, just get her out of the cot, change her, in the car & off we go. During the day she had sleeps on the floor, in her cot, in her pram. That child would sleep anywhere & if we were out & she was tired, just put her in the pram and she was straight off to the land of nod. My house was always noisy, nothing woke her up then and nothing does now. Daylight saving was never a problem as the blinds in her room were always open if she slept in there during the day, so she could sleep day or night, didn't matter about the lighting. Best of all NEVER listen to the health care nurse, they are not the parent of your child, you are and you know what's best & if you want an answer to a question, more often than not the best person to ask is your own mother.

LMAO I am dying at Jake changing his tune. At the eviction show, when put on the spot, he said he'd go for Lisa. Now he's out, can see what way the wind is blowing re: HMs popularity, and now he wants to have another go with Skye. Soooo transparent buddy! Thank god your weaksauce ass is outta here!!
 
I'm surprised the sleuths on here never managed to find his ex.


Big Brother evictee Jake Richardson was only after fun, he says of love triangle with Lisa and Skye

BIG BROTHER evictee Jake Richardson denies he’s a love rat despite keeping two of his female housemates on the go romantically and swapping between them during his time on the show.
The 25-year-old former tennis pro said he was surprised by the “love triangle” label attached to his spa and bedtime shenanigans with Skye and Lisa.

“I went in to have a good time and it just happened,” Richardson said.

“It’s not at all about romance. I’ve just come out of a five-year relationship and I wasn’t at all looking to settle down. I was looking for fun and I told the girls that.”

Despite multiple pashes with both, as well as jumping between the girls’ beds for nighttime cuddles, he said it was only about friendship and a bit of harmless fun.

“I was building friendships and just because I kissed someone, doesn’t mean anything. It takes time to get to know someone.

“I was spending a bit of time with one and then spending more time with the other.”

The complicated relations became a bone of contention with some of his fellow housemates, who wondered if Richardson was leading on Lisa and Skye.

Other contestants fuelled the drama by telling one girl when Richardson was spending intimate time with the other, he said.

“Each action can be seen differently by the housemates and everything is heightened. Something happens and it spreads like wildfire.”

Richardson viewed Sydney strip club manager Lisa as more of a friend and said he truly lusted after Gold Coast cafe worker Skye.

And contrary to accusations he was leading her on, Richardson said Skye was “bang up for a bit of fun” him with.

Although her interest seemed to fade the moment hunky intruder Leo entered the house last week, Richardson admitted.

“She was keen on me until Leo came in. Maybe she’ll get sick of him or maybe they’ll progress together. We’ll see.”

Richardson, who works part-time in radio promotions and studies graphic design, is the real-life housemate of last year’s Big Brother winner Tim Dormer.

The pair have shared a flat in Bondi Beach since earlier this year.

“I broke up with my girlfriend and the one person I had to live with was Tim. I’d just moved to Sydney and didn’t know anyone.”

He denies the outspoken reality show veteran gave him an unfair advantage in the competition and said they didn’t talk strategy at all.

“He just told me to go in there, have fun and take risks.”

You sound like you did an amazing job! If I do at least half of what you did for your child, then I know I'm doing ok :)
 
I'm really disappointed that so many nasty things have been said about bb housemates on here, especially when people know said HM is active in that particular forum. Reality shows are a way for television networks to film tv series without having to pay for actors. Unfortunately for the hMs they are not playing characters, they are playing themselves, therefore the hate stigma stays with them even after they finish filming. We should be grateful that housemates give up their lives for months at a time for very little pay and basically no prizes in the name of giving us entertaimment. @embee thanks for your contribution to bbau and good luck with your future endevours!
