Carrie Bickmore's relatable parenting nightmare

Too real! - by Alex Lilly
  • 01 Oct 2020

Carrie Bickmore always keeps it real on social media whether it's good or bad news, especially when it comes to parenting.

WATCH BELOW: Carrie's daughter draws on the sofa

Since she and her family are based in Melbourne, where lockdown restrictions are still in place, The Project host is no doubt experiencing cabin fever.

Carrie, 39, took to Instagram to share a video of her youngest daughter Addie, who turns two in December, getting up to mischief with a permanent marker in hand.

In the clip, Carrie films Addie sitting on the couch with a very noticeable black scribble beside her.

"What did you do?" Carrie says in the background.

After Addie's gurgling reply of "Drawing!" Carrie exasperatedly responds: "I know you're drawing, but not with the Sharpie!"

"While I did an interview this morning in one room...Miss Adelaide got creative in the other room. Who left the sharpie lying around???!!!!!!!😫😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐 (How do I remove????!)" the mum-of-three captioned her video.

Carrie's fans and followers were quick to share their advice and sympathy - but some advice was better than others.

"Oh dear. You remove by buying a new couch," one suggested.

"Fire should get that stain right off," noted another.

"The child or the texta?" a third joked.

Chezzi Denyer, who is expecting her third child with husband Grant, shared her own woes in the comments.

"Oh my GOSH!!! Eek 😬 Scout did this at her age.. All over the couch and the walls... Thanks for reminding me to throw out every permanent texta."

Carrie is a proud mum-of-three to 13-year-old son Ollie, five-year-old daughter Evie and Addie, 22 months.

Whilst she shares her daughters with partner Chris Walker, Ollie's dad was Carrie's late husband Greg Lange.

Carrie recently celebrated her eldest child's milestone 13th birthday in lockdown with an emotional tribute to her son.

"How did this little boy grow up so quick?" the mum-of-three captioned two photos of a younger Ollie and her son today, along with a crying face emoji.

"I now have a teenager (sobs quietly into her wine). Happy 13th birthday honey. I just love being your mum."

Buy a beanie for the whole family and see how long it takes to get a photo where everyone is looking at the camera 🤣🤣🤣 #impossible #carriesbeanies4braincancer

Carrie has spoken candidly about her parenting experience and revealed that after Ollie she wasn't sure if she'd be a mum again.

"I never thought that I would necessarily have any more kids. I had a really, really traumatic birth with Ollie so I had a huge fear about birth," Carrie confessed.

"I think I thought I would be OK if I didn't have any more kids. I just felt so blessed with Ollie and with Evie, it was a really different experience. It wasn't fun but it wasn't traumatic. I'm so glad I had her!" she added of her youngest daughter.
