Molly-Mae Hague has revealed that her three-year-old daughter, Bambi, placed someone in a headlock during a recent trip to Pizza Express. The former Love Island star, 27, shared the incident in her latest YouTube video, admitting she was 'very wrong' to think Bambi had grown out of her 'aggressive era'.
Incident at Pizza Express
Molly-Mae, who shares Bambi and newborn son Midas with fiancé Tommy Fury, said the trip to the restaurant ended in disaster when she took the children to meet friends. In the video, she said: "All I'm going to say is, I thought Bambi was out of her aggressive era. I was very wrong. Headlocks were put in place. Not by me, by her. It should have been by me. It was bad."
She added: "We're in the depths of it right now, and I'm really just trying to keep my head above water."
Support from Fans
Despite her concerns, Molly-Mae's comment section was flooded with support from other mums who suggested Bambi might be adjusting to having a sibling. One commented: "Bambi 100 per cent is feeling her newborn brother is taking her mummy's attention away. It happened with my daughter when her brother arrived. Her world has changed and she will be happy but change is massive for children and their emotions are all over the place. Never give up and never give in. She will learn. You're doing a good job."
Another wrote: "Stop being so hard on yourself Molly! You can literally post a video of you just talking about the sky for 40 mins and we'd all watch." A third advised: "She's reacting to sharing both of you with another baby. Just tell her firmly that her behaviour is not acceptable, remove her from the situation immediately. Go home and don't speak of it again."
A fourth fan said: "She will get past it, least you are trying to address it, lots of children go through this stage, good parenting from you both, and being aware of it." Another added: "Probably just with the new baby, it's hard for her to adjust, kids feel left out even when they are not, you're a super mum."
Previous Behaviour Concerns
This isn't the first time Molly-Mae has addressed Bambi's behaviour. Last year, she revealed that her daughter had bitten children at nursery, telling fans: "It's the complete opposite of what I want my child to be."
Reflecting on the biting incident, she said: "I got a call from nursery today to tell me that she has bitten another child at nursery. This isn't the first time it's happened. Basically at her nursery at the minute, there's a bit of a biting pandemic going on and all of the children are biting one another. I got a call the other day to tell me that she'd been bitten and she came home with a full-on bite mark on her arm. I wasn't even cross or upset about it because I knew it would be a matter of days before they'd call me to say she'd done the same thing back to another child. I feel like, especially in her nursery, they're all seeing each other doing it and copying the behaviour basically."
Molly-Mae also shared a video of Bambi saying she was going to bite someone, with the child saying: "I'm gonna bite someone. I’m gonna bite Dory." Molly-Mae then told her daughter that she shouldn't be biting anyone, replying: "No, we don't use our mouth to bite do we? What do you use your mouth for?" The pair then spoke about how they should use their mouths only "for food". However, Bambi then carried on: "We bite… Emily. We bite… Dory."
