I have NC as use MN’s a lot. I’d like to say it’s because I’m likely to get flamed for my opinion or judgment but it’s mostly because I’m not proud to admit I have a weird fascination with Instamums, their egos and blatant narcissistic traits.
Don’t get me wrong, some I enjoy because they’r quite funny, pretty to look at or have a great interior taste (something I’m really interested in myself) or maybe just quite down to earth with a similar parenting style however I still don’t understand how anyone could be comfortable enough to talk to a bunch of strangers on their phone, showing how they put on their day to day makeup, where their clothes are from and how beautiful their kids are, it all seems a bit self absorbed...though I do keep watching so prehaps I’m just as bad.
One I cannot bear to follow or get my head around though (so I slyly watch from the side) is Mrs Meldrum, how is she remotely relatable or likeable even in any shape or form.
I don’t find her awful or offensive on her stories but similarly she doesn’t seem to have much about her or have anything of substance or interest to say. I don’t think she comes across as very warm or maternal and her taste in clothes, interior and style is all very bland so what exactly does she bring to the gram table?
In the last few weeks she had released a gender stereotype kids craft book titled “Mummy and Me” and then deleted posts from lots of people expressing their disappointment or confusion as to why in this day and age she has released a book which excludes so many different family makeups.
Complained about being skint and made such a big deal of doing no spend January and then hired (possibly an undeclared #AD) a personal trainer costing in the region of £££’s month and then declared she has given up with no spend January...no shit!!!
Like I said I’m prepared to get shot down in flames, I know I don’t need to watch and I can scroll past and I mostly I do but I also find it interesting as to why so many people think she is so relatable and worthy of opinion that they would support her delete and block followers such as an upset Gay man or grieving Dad both of which wanted to explain why they felt her book title was harmful, hurtful and thoughtless.
From what I can see Rebecca Meldrum is a very entitled and self absorbed individual, who has not only been handed everything to her on a golden plate but has been so sheltered from real life that she has no real people skills or relistic grasp of the world around her, what kinda people and why look at her and think that’s someone I admire and want to be like?
