AIBU to find twitter stressful?

Anyone with a child (young or grown up) who is in the public eye?

How do you handle all the attention on twitter etc.... Especially people asking you to pass on messages, saying how much they love your child etc.
There's only so many messages you can reply to!

Management likes her to have a very active profile on twitter and Instagram (fair enough) but it feels like the pressure is on me also!

This isn't a thread about me saying how great my child is or anything like that, hence why I have name changed for anonymity. So please don't ask who she is as I have no plans to reveal that.

There must be other mums out there in a similar situation? (If anyone can recommend the right place to put this please direct me!)

No, I agree - but there are ways to make it less stressful, and I suggested one to OP.

Thank you for all the helpful advice. Smile

Robb please feel free to Dm me, I'm intrigued to know who you think I am will be embarrassed if you're right as I thought I didn't give out any identifying details!! Blush

Have sent you a dm pumpkin! Let's hope I'm right or this could be embarrassing...

Wowser, no way am I interested in disclosing the identity of my nephew.
Why that might lead you to me...and I might be even more famous!
I said 'might be'. I'm actually a boring old fart. I wonder if he thinks that and that's why he doesn't come for tea.
I am disappointed that OP is now playing 'guessing games'. I took the OP at face value and commented in good faith. Whoosh, I'm gone.

springlamb I have no intention of playing any sort of guessing games or revealing who my daughter is. Confused sorry if that's how it came across.
I was just curious to know if Robb knew who I was... I have no plans to confirm or deny her guess on here or via Dm , I was merely curious.Blush

Yes I got a

To those that suggested about asking management to be more involved, thank you.
She is away now for a good few weeks and won't have any access to twitter or any other platforms so her management will be tweeting on her behalf. I was also able to speak to management about me having a private profile... We have compromised and I'm going to have a very private one and a 'public' one which won't have anything private on it.
Thanks to everyone who posted anything as it gave me the confidence to say I didn't want things to continue as they were Smile
