To be fed up of Instamums

999 replies

Hmmmmx100 · 25/08/2017 22:56

I followed a few of the more well-known Instamums but got weary of the constant daily barrage of brand endorsements. I can't relate to people on £100k a year in Farrow & Ball houses. I just can't. So I had to unfollow em all, every one. AIBU to feel a bit miffed that these people are using the idea of sisterhood to make money? They're not our friends, they're just there to sell us stuff that we probably don't need anyway.

Yes probably right - how do you get it removed?

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 01/09/2017 17:28

Accessible if you're looking to buy a house, of course.

Putting their actual address on a thread discussing Instamums seems intrusive to me.

Report your post to HQ

800msprint · 01/09/2017 17:30

Done

BubbleAnimal · 01/09/2017 17:31

It is a gorgeous house tbf, I'd love to have it. I do have house envy

FunkinEll · 01/09/2017 17:32

Where are they moving to?

FunkinEll · 01/09/2017 17:35

The Ned?

Hmmmmx100 · 01/09/2017 17:37

Oh lord, don't link to peoples' homes! We can think they're fannies for sure, but that's crossing the line.

Who is the midwife? I keep reading about her but have no idea who she is.

ASauvingnonADay · 01/09/2017 17:41

I don't really think it's crossing the line to post the house link tbh. I found it before on a really easy search.

800msprint · 01/09/2017 17:41

Sorry that was really dumb. I've reported twice but don't know how long it takes to remove it.

BuzzKillington · 01/09/2017 17:44

I don't think it's crossing any line either.

Their house is super stylish, but the rooms are so tiny.

fluffy it's mother of daughters

Mothervulva · 01/09/2017 17:53

I like that tree in the garden.

DeleteOrDecay · 01/09/2017 17:58

Not sure you should be putting their house up on here 800, that's a bit off.

I don't see how, it's already online for all to see.Confused

Report your post to have it removed.

The thing I really don't get is the mindset of the really sycophantic followers. I get following to have a nose, I get "liking" a pic now and then - but I don't get commenting on every post with "you are so amazing!! what great parents!! #goals"

Like do these people have no pride?!

Fluffypinkpyjamas · 01/09/2017 18:03

Thank you Elephants

sacchetto · 01/09/2017 18:05

I've seen it before, I think that was the idea (telling the whole wide world that their house was on sale in the first place)?

Does anyone follow the one with 11 kids? Wrote a blog post about having to use food banks to get by then a few days later posting about buying new Saltwater sandals and stuff from Cath Kidston for her children Hmm She seems perfectly nice and I don't know how she manages day to day but I find it very odd.

My faves are Alice Judge-Talbot who is funny and clever and i want to be her friend. Also Parry Plus 1 (Danielle) who is the one that MoD wasn't very nice to. She's really down to earth and great. She's done her house up so well with little budget.

Don't know if it's the same one, but there is someone with a lot of kids and it irrationally winds me up that she's made a spelling mistake in her username.

FrostedFlaakes · 01/09/2017 18:43

It's the same one. She explained it once saying 'too' was already taken! It annoys me also.

TheLegendOfBeans · 01/09/2017 18:51

How can anyone get so excited about Boden?

yes I am a cow

WipsGlitter · 01/09/2017 18:52

Is their house for sale with about seven agents??

Alice JT is lovely. She's replied to messages I've sent her a few times. She seems pretty normal.

Nice person? That is not the actions of a nice person.
