WE MADE A DECISION | life of the baldwins

#mumlife #family #catchupfriday
Hi guys, you were supposed to get this video last night but I'd banked on uploading on 5g but when we got to Cardiff there was very little Internet signal so I couldn't upload.
We had a brilliant night at Pink and I'm hoping I can put together a short vlog avoiding copyright

Have a look at loop ear plugs jake finds these a help in public places x😊

Best decision Kayleigh , it’s going to be less stressful for yourself , and Sienna will definitely be more happy and she will start to enjoy her school work at home .❤

[@lucywilson1601]

It’s nobody’s else’s business what you decide for your children 😊 your their parents and you do what’s best for your family xxxx Personally I think your making the best decision for Sienna ❤ Good luck with the home schooling 😊

[@emmapilkington2001]

Your doing amazing kayleigh you are doing what's best for sienna and that's all that matters xx

[@SharonT109]

❤ Congratulations on 10 k ....and also your daughter's education my son was home schooled and he learnt more at home and with nature and also about the real stuff how to run a home añd budgeting all education and life skills all the best ❤

[@roseiames3931]

Thank you so much for sharing your news about Sienna , I’m sure you will do a great job Kayleigh, love to the family .😊

[@irisashton9295]

Hi you have got to do what is best for sienna your along time in school take no notice what anyone says ❤

[@helenmurphy1982]

My daughter home school her to boys and they are doing very well .I think you be great love 💘💘xxxxx

[@rhirhi43]

I honestly think you’ve made the best decision for sienna,it’s been 4 years since I made the decision to home educate my son and we’ve never looked back.i think you need to take the next few weeks until the summer holidays to deschool as this is what we did and in September he was raring to go ❤

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Thankyou. I'm nervous about it all, but we seem to have a great local home ed community. X

[@rhirhi43]

@@lifeofthebaldwins that’s really good then unfortunately due to my son’s autism and adhd we can’t go to any home ed groups as he has bad social anxiety so he prefers just to socialise with only a few people he knows x

[@lucys5480]

I think you've made the right decision at the moment. I pulled my daughter now 22 out of school in year 6, my son 15 never went to school and has just done his 1st lot of exams and my 5 yr old is home educated. Ive learnt so much over the years and once find groups that are enjoyable it's a lovely community. If i can be of any help just shout. X

[@carolcreamer8285]

Sienna you look lovely xxxxxxxx

[@valgodders]

Hi Kayleigh yes you've made the right decision for sienna a child that's not happy in school and not coping will not flourish not all children fit into the box of mainstream schooling and get on really well home schooled as you said it may not be forever and maybe when shes ready to she can just slot in to school again ❤❤ have a great time at the pink gig 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@clairehewick798]

Awe bless Sienna a mothers instinct for u as u know ur own child good luck hun xx The girls looked so excited for the pink concert can’t wait to see the vlog hope u had a great time xx

[@sandrarollinson4726]

bless the little lady 😎

[@MumLifeAndMore]

Well done for the weight loss! I get so sick of hearing my voice when I'm editing my videos 😅

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

I hate it when the kids put our vlogs on, my voice goes right through me.x

[@thenanlife1141]

I think if you are able to home educate your children then it’s great . I so wish I had that option In the 90,s as my daughter did nt like going to school at all …xx

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

I'm absolutely terrified I won't be enough for her, but I'll give it the best shot. X

[@elkepayne9308]

Hi Kayleigh. Think you have been very brave to share the news about Sienna and think you have definitely made the right choice regarding education for her. She's such a lovely, special little girl and I really hope you see her thrive and grow in confidence. Xx

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Thankyou. I'm nervous about this journey with her, but i will do anything to make sure we don't have her in the state she has been in multiple times, ever again. X

[@lizfield6486]

Bet a weight has been lifted now you’ve made a decision. I think you’ve done the right thing 👍🏻

[@bernm1948]

Has Felicity made any comment about Sienna not continuing with schooling? The girls look great! Have a great time.🎉

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Felicity is fine with it. She knows that they are both individuals, and both have their own needs, and I will support them both. Before Felicity got poorly, she was enjoying school, and hopefully, in time she will get back to that. X

[@morrisontracy]

Delighted for you all. Sounds like great choices for your family. Felicity’s teachers will just be so happy to see one of their students at a concert having fun and sharing an experience, they know her and the situation. Hope you all have a great time 💕

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Her teacher and TA were both there. We didn't spot them, but her TA spotted her getting a piggy back down the stairs with kev. They've all enjoyed sharing their excitement and stories at school today. X

[@gailponder4980]

Kayleigh I like your dress looks nice

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Thankyou x

[@LisaRobinson-gx9jf]

Hope you are all ok 😊

[@carolcreamer8285]

Enjoyed the vlog Kayleigh xxxxxx all of you have a brilliant time at the pink concert xxxxx will be looking forward to tomorrows vlog xxxxxx take care all of you xxxxxx your number 1fan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jenniferhudson4207]

Kaylee I think you’ve made the right decision because you know your child and as a mother myself the hardest thing is to see your child distressed and I know it’s a tough decision and you tell all those people that give you negative comments tell them where to go because the ignorant they’re impertinent and they only say it because they’ve got no life they’ve got no life they probably sit at home all day watching the telly or watching the Internet and because they see people happy and doing things and they’re jealous of it they’ve got something nasty because if they say something nasty, it makes him feel better Over the last few months you know and I enjoy your videos you have been through and back with Felicity. God bless her you know and you had to go through all of that and look at look how far she’s come and you look lovely in that dress just remember you are what you are it is it doesn’t want it doesn’t matter what size you are you Gotta be happy and you tell those grown-up children of you. You’re not their servant. They’re old enough ugly enough to sort out things for themselves you need to you know your husband works hard. You work hard and they’ve got to realise they’re not babies anymore. Please don’t think I’m being rude or I’m being ignorant but you know you’ve been you’ve had enough. You’ve got live your life you’ve got three little children and grown up You know they’re old enough to do they do what they want to do so let them clean up you know you’re not. You’re not their servant. You’re the you’re their mother and they should respect you because I tell you they don’t realise how lucky they have a wonderful lady like you are, and I’ve been to Italy myself and your love the food

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

This is definitely what is best for her right now. Hopefully in a few months we will see that it was the right choice. They definitely need to do more, ive actually been on at them today about it. I swear the walk around with their eyes closed. X

[@uglenddalejones2]

*Amazing Update- 💯💯💯🙌* The best news because it’s the best for sienna and you and I absolutely million per cent stand by you *Pink Concert Prep- you all looking super good* Xxx

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Thankyou 💕 I feel so much better now we've finally made the decision and actioned it. X

[@carolcreamer8285]

Hi Brooke nice to see you xxxxxxxxx

[@lucyanderson8524]

Love your vlogs thank you so much for sharing good luck with everything 💗 💜

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

Thank you so much!!

[@mrsc896]

I work in a school (TA) but I really do think home education can be a wonderful thing. One system definitely doesn’t work for all. Wish I could do it for mine but they’re secondary school age and I’m not clever enough to teach that!

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

I worry about secondary school age, and I really think there is much more they can learn in secondary school that can't be done as well at home. I'm going to take it one day at a time and try not to think too far in the future as it's a long time away. X

[@margaretmclean8429]

Enjoy seeing pink ❤

[@elinorwilliams2602]

Hi Kayleigh I'm a year 3 teacher and I was thinking about Felicity and a book she might really enjoy is Katy by Jacqueline Wilson if you read it with her hope she enjoys it ❤

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

I think Summer had that book years ago. X

[@natashajones4657]

i still enjoy that book

[@annbannister1118]

It is entirely your families decision if that's what's best for sienna, you and the school ,then do what you need to do ,like you say ,when she's older it might change but for now ,it's best for the family ,and a much happier little girl , good luck ,we all went through covid ,and the children missed nearly 2 years of school ,but we managed but I was def glad when they were able to go back ,🤣🤣🤣🤣 love to you and your lovely family ❤

[@Paigeharries94]

I was at pink last year in Sunderland best night ever

[@kellycoatsworth3406]

Honestly you will see such a difference. Jake is like a totally different child it's so nice to see him relax. He does game 24/7 that was his coping mechanism. He's spending more time do things outside the house xx

[@user-wh1pq9vz1t]

Hope you all enjoyed pink our granddaughter went to Edinburgh on Friday to see Taylor swift she said she was fantastic she also got tickets for Wembley on Sunday 23rd June it’s cost her a fortune as she has to stay over night on both occasions but said it’s well worth it she got some great pictures kaileigh you look lovely

[@lifeofthebaldwins]

I wish we were seeing Taylor Swift. X

[@aislingsmith3067]

​@lifeofthebaldwins Pink is amazing though. You are doing a brilliant job with the girls as is Kev. You guys have alot going on. You have your holiday to look forward to. Love your vlogs as I have said before you guys do normal life, relatable to all of us ❤❤

[@patsmith8035]

Ad a retired TA i think home education can work really well

[@paulineelphinstone4725]

Awww poor sienna it’s just so hard to see your child being unhappy you’ve got to do what’s best for her it is going to change your life big time you’re going to be mummy,teacher,counsellor all in one and that’s hard for you go look at the Ingram family they home school all there children and there children are just amazing and so intelligent take care xx
