Molly-Mae Hague has made a candid confession about her and Tommy Fury’s daughter Bambi’s “new concerning” behaviour.
The 25-year-old uploaded a new video to her YouTube channel to update fans about her life.
The former Love Island star admitted her “morale was low” as she shared a new habit of Bambi’s.
“She’s been a little bit hitty and smacky and she keeps doing this thing where if I’m in front of her, she goes for my face and grabs my face really hard,” Molly-Mae admitted.
“Yesterday, she fully left a nail mark in my face from where she was grabbing me. She keeps grabbing onto my neck and squeezing so hard and digging her nails in.”
The TV personality revealed that the behaviour had been upsetting to her, and she had wondered where she had gotten it and why Bambi was acting in that way.
Speaking to fans, Molly-Mae confessed: “Bambi is just, she hurt my feelings a little bit the last two days and this morning was a little bit frustrating as well.”
Molly-Mae said her day had stated positively with her daughter: “She’s gone to nursery this morning and this was the first time she went in with zero tears, she went in really happy, really excited to be there so that was really positive. She’s settled in so well now at nursery.”
“She’s literally only doing one day a week, but it’s just to get her used to being around other children and to not be at home all the time, so that’s really good.”
However, the 25-year-old explained her young daughters behaviour: “She knows she’s doing it to hurt which is so bizarre. Once I’ve then told her that that’s not ok and we can’t hurt people, she just laughs and does it again.”
“I can’t seem to get her to understand at the minute that she can’t hurt me. All of yesterday and last night and this morning, she just keeps doing it,” Molly confessed.
“Whenever I’m in front of her, she just goes for me, scratches me, hits me, it’s really quite concerning, so that’s why my morale is a bit low this morning.”
Molly explained: “I’ve spoken to a few different people and the advice people are giving me is all different. Someone said it’s best that when she does it, you completely ignore it, to not give it attention, because she’s doing it for attention, she’s doing it for a reaction.”
“So if you give her no reaction, she’ll think ‘That’s not done anything, so I’ll stop doing it.'”
The mother continued: “I don’t know if there’s a repercussion, she needs to sit in her cot for a minute or a time out or we start introducing the naughty step, but she’s not even two yet, she doesn’t understand.”
“She does understand the word “No” though and she does know what she’s doing because she’s doing it on purpose to get a reaction.”
“That’s why I’m feeling a bit deflated this morning because obviously it’s just not nice. I’m so big on raising her to be a really kind, gentle, human being that would never ever do anything like that.”
Molly-Mae continued: ‘I just don’t know where she’s picked up that behaviour from. She’s only been going to nursery for a few weeks so I can’t imagine it would be from there.’
