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 .

I shared a pic on insta the other day. Or my two angelic children happily eating healthy food in the garden.

What wasn’t shown was the bomb site of the kitchen, or the mess in the living room or the fact that I’d not washed my hair for 2 weeks.

Some babies are just great for an insta profile.

One of mine slept day and night, only woke up to feed then back to sleep.

I was showered, dressed, made up, house cleaned and I had so much free time I was bored, maybe Ronnie is just a good baby.

That sounds really hard OP, not all babies are great sleepers unfortunately. How old is your baby?

@sunlightflower She's 13 months. Best thing that has ever happened to me but a total sleep-thief 😂

I think one year olds can be the hardest in a lot of ways.

It’s the internet. Stop following her if you don’t like it. Or follow Knee Deep in Life for contrast. Most of us are somewhere in between.

But mostly I worry about what I’m doing, not what anyone else is doing.

But the nasty comments on here are just spiteful. Find someone else to follow who you can relate to.

She’s as fake as her nails

A wise MNetter once said “never compare your behind the scenes with their edited highlights”

I see #bekind is alive and well.

Leave the poor bloody woman alone. Wouldn't surprise me is she was on here. Imagine having to read all this from strangers. Imagine what it could do to you.

If she is reading here she can go cry into her febreeze scented cushions and check her bank balance and remember that her and her husband need never work again thanks to her bullshit and lies 🤷🏼‍♀️

It's not just Mrs Hinch, none of my friends or anyone on my social media ever puts up the 'bad' sude if their life. Everyone wants their life to look instaperfect whether they're a celeb or not.

It's not a stretch to say it's impossible to keep a house clean with a baby, he's not mobile yet. Obviously when he becomes a toddler the fun will start but still, keeping your house moderately tidy isn't beyond the realms of possibility. Hers looks 'perfect' because she is there 24/7 as is her husband.

Saying she's preying on vulnerable poor people with mental health issues is a crock of shite. In that case do we do away with every advert on TV?

FWIW, anyone exhibiting jealously for that lifestyle is mad. I literally could not think of anything worse than filming all day, retaking shots that weren't right and also exposing myself and my family to trolls (not you btw, just in general).

There's some nasty arseholes on here.
She has been on here in the past so why would you even say stuff like that?

It didn't take long for be kind / you're so jealous / why are you all so spiteful arguments to show up.

Disagreeing with someone doesn't equal jealous and those claims are just a lazy way of dismissing women's opinions.

If someone chooses to place themselves in the public eye then it's entirely reason their job and actions are also up for question.

She is making a living selling a fake lifestyle and it preys on other women's insecurities. Why else would she have books about how to be her, a book to help people plan their 'hinching' (cleaning and running a house to most people)?

There are other forums posting about her that are scathing compared to this thread.

Quite lola. Some people like to use the whole be kind schtick as a way of silencing criticism they don't like. Fuck that.

Bit of difference between "disagreeing with someone" and the pulling apart of appearance and other personal shit.
Some will never see that though, they never do.

@babysnowman we definitely seem to have the same baby. If I was to set the alarm before she wakes I'd have to do it for about 5am.

Pulling apart appearance is mean, commenting that an influencer who makes their money by peddling a modern 1950s housewife look gets dolled up in full faces of makeup and fake nails etc whilst giving the impression that their carefully curated lifestyle and level of always being glammed up is attainable for most of her followers is reasonable.

BlackberryCane It's always when women have an opinion about another woman too. Whilst some on here have been defending Dominic Cummings, I've not seen lots of posts saying 'what happened to #bekind'?

It's the same on threads where an OP has an issue with someone and there's the tiniest hint of money/holidays/house mentioned. The person the OP has an issue with couldn't possibly be wrong or unpleasant because the OP is obviously jealous of their holidays / home / car / income.

Far be it from me to defend Cummings, but whatever else he's done, he isn't using his appearance to flog a lifestyle brand that, like it or not, works partially by exploiting women's insecurities. Now I still wouldn't defend every comment that's been made on this thread about her appearance. But then not all of the people who can't tolerate her being criticised have restricted their ire to the comments about her appearance.

Saying she's preying on vulnerable poor people with mental health issues is a crock of shite. In that case do we do away with every advert on TV?

I think that's a bit disingenuous as advertising on TV is more heavily regulated. This is not Mrs Hinch specific but I do think some people who "follow" don't realise that posts are adverts or that the influencer is getting paid 4k for that post or what affiliated links mean.

I said upthread I don't use instagram but I have children & nieces & nephew's & I will criticise influencers posting weight loss tea or Kim Kardashian promoting a pregnancy anti sickness drug. Social media doesn't exist in a vacuum & it's way to simplistic to say don't like, don't follow.

Mrs Hinch is a construct, a very successful marketing tool. She appeals to a certain demographic of women who probably aspire to grey, crushed velvet sofas and shiny taps, rather than higher education or a professional career.

Don't forget that before she was a hairdresser she was a very driven, very successful sales person who bragged that "she never once missed her sales target".

Clearly she's uneducated but she has plenty of street smarts and is very, very ambitious.

YYS to the above.

Mrs Hinch is a product, a business. Even registered on Companies House

beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/11781414/officers

So to those making out she's doing it for the fun of it, and to help her followers, she really isn't.

The only think I wonder is how long it will last. Make hay while the sun shines presumably.

Thing

I could definitely see a shift in the influencer market once recession bites.
