None, because I’m not 12.

JaneJeffer · 25/09/2023 17:40

Weird. Is that really an MN person?

DoraSpenlow · 25/09/2023 17:41

None. I make up my own mind.

I ask my dch (mid-20s) if I want parenting advice. They're not influencers as such, but they do have an answer for everything. :)

SlippinJanie · 25/09/2023 17:43

My two cats influence my behaviour. In that I'm at their beck & call. Is that the sort of thing you're after?

SyrusTheVirus · 25/09/2023 17:43

None because I'm not a degenerate pleb

gogomoto · 25/09/2023 17:46

I wouldn't trust anyone who sets themselves up as an influencer.

Darklane · 25/09/2023 17:47

Who needs one? How on Earth did we all manage to raise a family before the internet let alone “ influencers “ whatever they are.

yogasaurus · 25/09/2023 17:47

None, as soon as this grift of a phenomenon disappears for good, the better.

I unfollow any brands who use influencers, even if I like them. It’s a personal crusade for me.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 25/09/2023 17:48

None, I'm not keen on blaggers.

JaneJeffer · 25/09/2023 17:48

What does the parenting space mean?

Sparkletastic · 25/09/2023 17:49

I couldn't name a single parenting influencer if I tried.

Cosycardigans · 25/09/2023 17:49

Yes you ABVU to even ask such a thing OP

Thesearmsofmine · 25/09/2023 17:50

I think the whole parenting influencer thing has had it’s day.

SyrusTheVirus · 25/09/2023 17:50

My parents own an AirbnB in a very nice part of the country with lots of tourists..

They're constantly getting emails, facebook messages, airbnb messages and Instagram messages from "influences" wanting to "work with" and collaborate with my parents.

Basically they want a free stay in exchange for some crappy Instagram hashtag advertisement 😂

ArcticBells · 25/09/2023 17:51

No one. I have a mind of my own

MissPettigrewIsWFH · 25/09/2023 17:51

None. I prefer real people.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 25/09/2023 17:51

This has gone well!

melmonroe · 25/09/2023 17:52

Hahaha

Influencers are only there to make money. I'm surprised anyone actually follows them, much less takes any notice of them Biscuit

Cosycardigans · 25/09/2023 17:53

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 25/09/2023 17:51

This has gone well!

🤣 Waiting for the deletion message...

Badaba · 25/09/2023 17:53

I do find it useful to listen to conversations, debates and documentaries around parenting issues, but influencers aren't where I'd go for that.

Darklane · 25/09/2023 17:53

Just proves everyone has more sense

FannyBawz · 25/09/2023 17:53

None because I have a brain and decent critical thinking skills.

read the bloody room, MN!
