Molly-Mae Hague reveals daughter Bambi, 3, 'put someone in a headlock' in Pizza Express as she reveals she's in her 'aggressive era'

Molly-Mae Hague has revealed that her daughter Bambi 'put someone in a headlock' during a recent outing to Pizza Express.

The influencer, 27, shares Bambi, three, and baby son Midas with her partner Tommy Fury and has spoken of her difficult behaviour before.

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.'

In the comments many other mums tried to comfort her after the incident saying Bambi is probably just adjusting to being a sibling.

They said: '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.'

It comes after last August Molly-Mae shared her worries when Bambi bit two other children at nursery.

At the time she opened up about the experience with her fans as she declared: 'It's the complete opposite of what I want my child to be.'

She also said she was conflicted over taking her little girl for ice cream after the incident because she was concerned she would view it as a 'reward for bad behaviour'.

Molly-Mae told how her sister Zoe Rae thought it was a bad idea to give Bambi a treat but revealed she was unsure how to tackle the situation and had even asked AI assistant ChatGPT for advice.

She admitted she wasn't sure about the nursery's 'gentle parenting' approach because she didn't know if Bambi would know biting was wrong. 

Opening up on the ordeal, 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.'

She added: 'So I got a call from her key worker to say that she'd bitten again today and I just feel like is taking her for ice cream later on rewarding her...when she's done something at nursery that's really not good?

'But equally, I don't even know if I should bring attention to it. When it happened the other week, I decided to go with the method of not bringing attention to it at all.

'So not talking about it, because I think they do it because maybe they want a reaction, or she wants a rise, or she wants us to talk about it.

'So I didn't talk about it at all, but that method has clearly not worked because she's gone into nursery and done it again today so even with no reaction, it's still happening.

'She's getting the reaction she wants…if we're all talking about it.'

Later on in the video, Molly-Mae shared an update on the incident and revealed Zoe had said she doesn't think they should be taking Bambi for ice cream.

Explaining the development, Molly-Mae said: 'She's [Bambi] bit another child at nursery today. I know that's sad to come on here and admit. A lot of parents probably wouldn't want to admit that their child had done that.

'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 to be biting one another at the moment.

'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.

'But equally the children in her room at the moment are at an age where trying to explain to them... 

'It's 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 if I was listening to this video right now I'd be thinking no, you need to tell her it's not okay. Because it's not okay.

'It's so embarrassing for me because it's the complete opposite of what I want my child to be. All I want her to be in this life is kind, gentle, caring, loving and just like so lovely to the people around her. That's what I want her to be to her core.

'And her biting is just so far removed from who I want her to be. Equally she is two and a half and she is testing boundaries. Also it's hard because at their nursery their way of disciplining is that they don't really discipline.

'They have very much a gentle parenting approach on the accident report form that I got about the bite. They were like we've told her that her mouth is for chewing and for eating her food, for biting down on food and nothing else.

'I think that she knows [in] the environment she's in she is not going to get told off, there's not going to be an issue when she does bite. She's not going to have anything taken off of her, or put on a naughty step - or really be told no.

'But then is that the right approach? Because clearly whatever is going on now isn't working because it is the second time that it has happened.

'So I don't know, I'm a bit stuck on this one. Probably going to get some comments on... I don't know what the right thing is to do'.

'I asked ChatGPT for some advice, I know people will probably have something to say about this because it's AI and controversial.'

'Controversial is my middle name at the moment. But I got some really incredible advice. So I explained the full situation and her age etc. Told [ChatGPT] what we're struggling with.'

Molly-Mae explained the advice was not to punish Bambi twice because she will be unable to link the negative repercussions in the afternoon to the incident which took place in the morning.

The rules of the nursery meant that Molly-Mae wasn't told who the child was that Bambi had bitten, but she worked out it was a close friend of her child and called her mother to apologise, which she said made her 'feel much better'.

Many took to the comments section of the video to share their thoughts on the situation and complimented Molly-Mae on her 'realness and relatability'.
