Molly-Mae’s parenting hacks make Bambi the ‘easiest’, including the Saturday routine
MOLLY-Mae has opened up about adjusting to being a single mother to daughter Bambi after going through a high-profile divorce from ex-partner Tommy Fury.
The Love Island star turned businesswoman, 25, spoke about her parenting tricks for her now 22-month-old in a new YouTube vlogging.
The blonde beauty, who broke up with boxer Tommy Fury, 25, the father of her 22-month-old daughter, in August, recently spoke about the difficulties of a solo parenting trip to Dubai.
She said: “’I really felt like a single parent.
“I noticed it enormously the missing piece of the puzzle.”
However, she does have a few tricks up her sleeve with solo parenting Bambi in their Cheshire home…
Saturday routine
In her recent vlog, the influencer talked about how she takes her daughter out of the house on the weekend for an activity because that’s when she’s at her “easiest.”
She said: “I usually love going out with Bambi at the weekend because I think she and I have the best weekends.
“I find her most comfortable when we get out and do things and I keep her busy.”
She doesn’t want her expecting treats
One of the ways Molly-Mae likes to entertain her adorable daughter is at the soft play center, but she shared how she wants to keep Bambi grateful and grounded.
She said: “It’s quite a lot to go out every weekend and find things to do.
“Not everyday soft play, because I just think it’s also unrealistic to make her think we can go to soft play every day.”
Molly said to “stop thinking in my head” that Bambi will only be happy if they do things or go to a soft play.
Has ‘coping mechanisms’
Being a single parent can be difficult, especially since you have one less pair of hands to help organize the family.
Molly shared one of her “coping mechanisms” to try and prepare for things she would find “stressful” while Bambi is taking a nap.
She explained, “I like to make sure that anything that I would find stressful trying to do with her, I try to make sure it’s done before she wakes up.”
“Before I wake Bambi up from her nap, I want to make sure everything is done so that even if I’m going to visit Fran, I’ll make sure everything is in the car before I wake her up. so all I have to do when I pick her up is get her changed, put her in the car and then we can go.
Molly added that she can be “a bit of a stressful character,” especially when Bambi “gets upset,” so she tries to avoid those situations “at all costs.”
Prepares snacks and bags in advance
Two of the ways Molly tries to limit her “stress” is by preparing snacks and bags for Bambi during her nap time.
She said: “What needs to be done? What should be in the car? Should I have a bag packed for her?
“Should I have snacks prepared? What’s she going to eat for a snack?’
Is honest about the problems of single mothers
Molly admitted her “confidence as a mother was damaged” after taking baby Bambi on a solo girls trip to Dubai.
The mother of one admitted she was “out of my league” during her getaway to the UAE.
Although Molly-Mae was accompanied by her assistant and friend Erin – who she called her “rock” – the always outspoken star said she felt like she “needed physical and emotional support” from a partner.
In October, Molly-Mae was spotted stripping down to a bikini while on holiday with the toddler.
The couple arrived on a Company A class flight and with a special destination for the Love Island star and her ex, everything was going to be fine.
Yet her Instagram smile masked a hidden struggle, which the candid star opened up about during a video.
The owner of the fashion brand Maebe is known for her openness about her online followers.
In Dubai I really felt like a single parent. I really noticed the missing piece of the puzzle from your partner, and that emotional support and the physical support from a father as well.

And her latest clip was no different, as she told subscribers of the trip: “To be honest, it has completely affected my confidence as a mother because over the last few months I felt like I was put in a very, very difficult situation. ” good place maternityI feel so confident and really on top of my game, I feel like I have Bambi in stitches.
“I know her, I mean I’ve always known her inside and out, but I can do it, I don’t need support, I have this under control.
“Anyway, Dubai, another story. I was so out of my depth, literally the entire plane ride I was almost in tears.”

He continued: “Molly-Mae’s transformation also seems to further symbolize her desire to really step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
“The shift to a more mature and unique style seems to demonstrate her growth and her desire to be seen as an individual after her reality TV beginnings.
“By shedding the bold, flashy look that comes with her time on Love Island, she can transform herself into a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market and showcases her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, sophisticated aesthetic.”

“Gone are the ‘look at me’ messages and in are family style messages and trend-oriented fashion statements.”
