Influencer and former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague looked at breaking point at she opened up on her latest parenting struggles in a vlog on her YouTube channel
Molly-Mae Hague says her daughter Bambi currently ‘hates’ her as she detailed the ups and downs of life with a toddler.
Serving up stories most parents will be all too familiar with, the working mum explained the “horrendous rollercoaster” that is trying to keep a two-year-old happy. The star expressed her guilt for leaving Tommy Fury home alone with the tot today in a lengthy video.
Molly-Mae has been open with her struggles and took time out to remind all mums and dads they are not alone when it comes to constant battles with their kids. The 26-year-old recently admitted Bambi “rules the roost” but she has vowed to get tougher and start standing her ground when she acts up.

Sounding exhausted, she told her two million YouTube subscribers: “What a morning. I am just about to leave the house to go to the office but I feel really bad that I’ve left Tommy with Bambi like that this morning because… these last two mornings… honestly. It’s wild.
“We’ve really come out of it now and it’s mental how quick I know I’m talking about it all the time but I hope this helps any other toddler parent to know they’re not alone in the wild rollercoaster where every day just changes so much.
“Half the week you’ll be ‘I’ve made a breakthrough, she’s listening… she’s being so lovely, I’m loving this’ and then you’ll be like ‘I don’t know how to handle this, this is horrendous, she’s not listening, she hates me’.”
She continued: “I just feel guilty because now I’ve got to go to work and Tommy is at home with her. I just know they’re probably not going to have a very nice day because she’s just, the listening ears are firmly switched off, to the point she doesn’t wanna hear anything we’re saying.

“She has tumble tots this morning but I don’t even know if he’s going to take her. We had a conversation this morning and said if we keep saying things like, ‘Bambi, if you carry on doing this you can’t go to tumble tots, we can’t reward bad behaviour,’ we actually then have to stick to that.
“We actually then cannot take her to tumble tots which is then so c**p for her and so c**p for us. “We really need to actually start sticking to what we’re saying – if we’re saying no tumble tots then she can’t go,” she said as she kept fans updated with her parenting problems.
Most totally understood her situation. One fired and warning and her: “If you’re disappointed that she’s not listening to you, you’ve got years of disappointment ahead of you!” Another just said: “Let Tommy get on with it, It’s not easy. But your mum is right.”
It’s not the first time she had been candid when it comes to her daughter’s behaviour. “She’s [Bambi] bit another child at nursery today,” she said on August. “I know that’s sad to come on here and admit. A lot of parents probably wouldn’t want to admit that their child has done that.”
She continued: “But the only reason I feel slightly better about it is because I had a call last week saying that Bambi had been bitten – and all the children seem at the minute to be biting one another.
“One of my good friends, her daughter is in the same class. And her daughter has been bitten like every day this week. It’s really, really sad, it’s horrible.
“It’s so confusing, because if we talk to her about it when we put her in the car, are we giving her the attention that she wants from the biting? But 100 per cent, if I was watching this video right now I’d be thinking no, you need to tell her it’s not okay. Because it’s not okay.”
