Bambi

MOLLY MAE Hague has shared an incident where she was scared she was being judged for her parenting when her toddler, Bambi, had a melt down at the hairdressers. 

The TV star and entrepreneur has never been shy about sharing the ins and outs of her life as a mum-of-two via her vlogs, sharing earlier this month that three-year-old Bambi has entered “her aggressive era” that saw her putting people in headlocks. 

Now, in her newest video, she shared an incident where three-year-old Bambi caused a commotion while getting her haircut. 

“Today’s vlogging has not really gone to plan,” she told viewers. “I was going to vlog Bambi’s haircut, but honestly, that was a really traumatic experience. 

“I don’t know why. I mean, to be fair, she’s been saying for a few weeks ‘I don’t want to get my hair cut’, but like you know, just being sort of like a toddler, and just sort of the way a toddler would be, just trying to be difficult, you know how it is.” 

However, it seems Bambi was more sure of her stance than her mum anticipated – and wasn’t afraid to make it known to everyone when they got to the salon.

“Got to the hairdressers, full blown, didn’t want to get her haircut, full blown tantrum,” Molly shared. “I did say at one point like, okay, like we’ll just leave it then because it’s really not meant to be a traumatic thing, like this is meant to be a special treat, getting your hair done is meant to be.” 

“But I also know for children it can be a really overwhelming, strange experience because you’ve got people around you that you don’t know,” she said.

“Bambi’s not great with strangers anyway, she really isn’t. It really takes her a while to warm up to people, and I think she went into the hairdresser, and it was just very overwhelming.

“There was like a cape being put on her, a lot of people around her that she didn’t know, a new place that she’d never been to before…” 

Molly admits she’d “do things a bit different next time” by introducing her to the idea more slowly so the toddler understood, and perhaps going to a child-friendly salon rather than a normal adult one which she “thought would be fine”. 

“In the end, her little friend actually came and got her hair cut at the same time, which was really nice,” she explained. 

“When she turned up, things did calm down a lot, and we managed to get her hair cut.” 

However, she noted that she was left uncomfortable with the amount of attention the situation drew. 

“Everyone that was getting their hair done was looking at us like ‘oh’, and I didn’t know if I was handling her tantrum very well,” she admitted. “You know when you’re trying to handle a tantrum and people are watching over you, watching you handle it, there’s no pressure like it. Like, am I doing parenting right, right now?

“It’s hard enough to do it with no eyes on you, let alone when people are watching you with bleach on their hair.” 

MOLLY-MAE Hague has told fans daughter Bambi is back in “her aggressive era” following a shock incident at Pizza Express. 

Last year the 27-year-old Love Island star’s followers were left stunned when Bambi, three – who she shares with boxer Tommy Fury – was seen listing which of her little friends she wanted to bite. 

Now Molly-Mae, also mum to son Midas, two months, had confessed she was “very wrong” to think her eldest child had grown out of such behaviour. 

Speaking in her latest YouTube vlog, she said: “I went to Pizza Express with Bambi and Midas and some friends and I can’t even disclose what happened. 

“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.

“We’re in the depths of it right now and I’m really just trying to keep my head above water.”

Fans tried to make Molly-Mae feel better, with one commenting: “Bambi 100% is feeling her newborn brother is taking her mummy’s attention away. It happened with my daughter when her brother arrived.”

Another said: “Her world has changed and she will be happy but change is massive for children and their emotions are all over the place.”

And a third added: “Never give up and never give in. She will learn. You’re doing a good job.”

It comes after Molly made it clear that she and Tommy will not be trying for a third child anytime soon.

She told fans: “So I had the coil fitted, I had one called the Kyleena. It’s not the copper coil. It’s a different one. It’s one that’s going to last 5 years.

“I really wanted to get on some form of contraception because the last thing we need right now is another pregnancy.”

MOLLY-MAE Hague and Tommy Fury have revealed a very strict parenting rule they have for their daughter Bambi, and it’s related to screen-time.

The couple, who recently welcomed son Midas, have laid down the law when it comes to technology – but do you agree?

Molly-Mae and Tommy have limited three-year-old Bambi to only using screens and technology during long car drives or when travelling abroad.

Boxer Tommy says this decision was made in a bid for the toddler to have a childhood like he did – spent in the outdoors.

He explained: “Speaking for myself and my own children, the only time Bambi sees a screen is during a long flight or a long car journey, when I might put something on for her.

“Other than that, she’s outside in the garden, playing in the sunshine, jumping in puddles and going to the park.

“I try to keep things as normal as possible. I really want Bambi to have a childhood like I did, and my childhood didn’t consist of screens, apps and things like that. I really don’t want that for my children.”

It’s a far cry from Tommy and Molly-Mae’s lifestyles, with the latter boasting a whopping 8.7 million followers on Instagram and often sharing videos to YouTube.

But it’s not the first time they have shared their desire for Bambi, and now Midas, to have a “normal” upbringing.

In fact, Tommy previously declared that he was “banning” Bambi from 5-star hotels and lavish flights so that she got a taste of normal life, and even purchased a campervan for traditional family holidays in the UK.

Doubling down, Tommy assured that while they may have a flashy lifestyle, Bambi won’t be getting her hands on a mobile phone of her own any time soon.

“Having a phone is a massive responsibility.

“There’s a whole new world behind a phone screen, and I think children should fully understand what they’re doing before they get involved with things like that,” he said.

Tommy was talking in a Q&A for his new podcast series, What The Fury?!.

The ten-part video podcast will see the boxer with his dad, John Fury, as they discuss modern life and their differing opinions.

Watch What the Fury?! is on BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport YouTube or available to listen on BBC Sounds from Tuesday 14th July.
