How come Mrs Hinch can do it?

[babysnowman]

Not bashing her at all, I really quite like her page.

But this morning I saw her videos about wearing a dress and putting her nails on, baby has eaten a lovely homemade breakfast, house is clean and it's only the morning.

I'm usually dressed in baggy old clothes (even though I have a wardrobe full of nice things), I make nice things for the baby to eat but she just throws it on the floor, and if I do get a chance to tidy something it's messy again within an hour. DD hasn't slept well at night all week, and is resisting her daytime naps so I'm exhausted.

How does she do it? Are other people able to do it? I don't understand what I'm doing wrong .

Whilst I agree this is her job, what I have discovered is that once you have spent time getting the house sorted, keeping on top of it is possible. Especially if there are 2 of you at home. That said be kind to yourself, every family is different, every home is different, every day is different.

I take the bits I find useful from her page and ignore the bits I don’t like ( I prefer eco friendly products instead of all the disposable stuff)

She is fake. Lots of pics are old pics she recycles plus she has her mum there to help most days and ger baby barely moves!

I’m not able to do it. Look like a heap of shit today, DD also going through some kind of sleep regression, and all food is being launched at the walls and floor. It’s ok though because this is the reality for most mums! Hope you get a better night tonight OP

I like her but you have realise it’s just a snapshot of her day.

I remember reading something Kim Kardashian once said (I do not follow celebs or anything like that it was featured on a instagram vs reality thing) and she said, you take 300 selfies and choose the best one. I thought who has time to take 300 selfies and go through each one? Then I realised that is their job. To promote a particular image.

I filmed myself once crawling under the dining table referring to my life as groundhog day, picking up squished pasta and toast from the floor, and saying I do this 3 times a day, then panning up and showing Ds2 grinning his head off. That isn't something I would share with the world. If I was posting it would have been before he started destroying the food I prepared, just before the squishing started.

But if you want a cold hard look at literally the difference filters etc can do, then this video by H3H3 is a very brutal look. I showed it to my children as I want them to know that having spots as a teenage boy is totally fine.

I think whoever came up with "her" is very, very clever. She's a lot more attainable than a glamorous influencer selling £200 shoes, everyone can go to Ebay or buy a sponge.

Not my thing (couldn't think of anything worse then cleaning) but she's laughing all the way to the bank.

I've stopped following all these type of people and I've even stopped following a lot of parenting pages on Facebook as they just make you feel shit. I've a one year old who is nothing short of a mini dictator I can get absolutely nothing done in the house so seeing these people with their immaculate homes just makes me question myself and my parenting

@Bluntness100

Envious? Really?

I wouldn't swop my job for hers, but it that way.

Also, people need to realise that babies differ hugely. While some might have a Peacefully Sleeping Portable version, others have the Grizzle All Day Colic All Night cling monster and toddlers to contend with.

I remember reading something Kim Kardashian once said (I do not follow celebs or anything like that it was featured on a instagram vs reality thing) and she said, you take 300 selfies and choose the best one.

And even after picking the best out of 300 she still looks a fucking state.

she has her mum there to help most days and ger baby barely moves!

How the heck would you know she has her mum there most days, know her personally do you?!
As to her baby barely moves - how the fuck would you know that lol

I think whoever came up with "her" is very, very clever. She's a lot more attainable than a glamorous influencer selling £200 shoes, everyone can go to Ebay or buy a sponge.

Absolutely - she's a total fraud but the persona and the targeted marketing is so clever. Marketing to the masses at its finest.

If you had told any of us that you could make oodles of money out of cleaning a sink, who would have believed it?

Maybe people that love in her street know when they see her mums car there every day 😅

@SparkyBlue Sounds familiar 😂

@Scruffyoak well her mum obviously isn't there during lockdown and she is still managing to do what she usually does...

So she doesn't want to post a video of her looking a mess, or her baby having a tantrum? So fucking what? Neither do I! And she doesn't have to! It's her instagram page, and those who want to watch her videos and look at her photos can, those who don't like her, shouldn't!

I honestly can't understand getting to irritated or annoyed with someone I don't know on Instagram to the point where I feel the need to slate her, her house or whatever.

@IPityThePontipines That's true, if mine would just sleep better it would be a whole different story

She doesn’t. Her house is also a hideous taste vacuum. I can’t see why anyone would fall for or want to emulate her perceived lifestyle.

This.

@SionnachRua it's brilliant

She doesn't have to post the nightmare day as it happens (and why would she) but she could say so, and talk about it. If she wanted to. But that's not what she's about.

Knee deep In life is the one you need OP very relatable and realistic

I quite like Mrs Hinch but she's obviously earned buckets and has less to worry about than the rest of us. All this bloody fawning constantly over the baby is quite annoying though. It's all incredibly rose tinted and although my dc are older I can imagine it would have made me feel shit when they were babies.

I think it’s down to how much energy & enthusiasm you have and a state of mind.

In my younger days, before SCI (spinal sore injury) I was similar. Naturally up with the larks, cracking on with jobs with gusto, one after the other, seeing to family, cooking, going to the gym, working full time etc. My home was sparkling clean & visitor ready, I dressed casual smart, make up on, hair done etc. I remember people plenty asking me how I achieved so much. It was natural for me, no effort. I wish I could say the same now.

Nonetheless I do think some manipulation goes on online and they choose what you get to see.

I like mrs Hinch, but her husband hasn't worked since baby was born so getting time to her self isn't hard.
Also please don't compare your self to anyone, you do what you can do and that is good enough.

I have 5 children and tbh we do what we can to get through all this

I think these celebs fuel the way motherhood isn't seen as 'work' because they're paid to make it look like no effort at all. That made more sense in my head but you get the jist.
