Insta mums

[Harrielady]

What the actual fuck?! I have just joined mumsnet and can say I will be leaving it after the negativity I've experienced. I joined expecting women helping women.
Women encouraging other women. Whether that's with their children, their marriage or their careers?! 'Insta mums' are mums who have decided a career in instagramming! And why the fuck not?! Before you ask no I am not an insta mum. Not that I wouldn't want to be - I just can't be bothered to tidy. But they do! They make their homes beautiful and enjoy decorating and showing their efforts off. Other women are inspired and they can bring many other women joy and happiness. Who are you bringing joy and happiness too? Going into the internet and plastering negative energy and bitter comments is not helpful, not nice and not at all fucking productive! You bitch about these women spending their days cleaning and shopping and not 'caring for thier kids' but how are you fucking idiots any better?!? Your too busy slagging off other hard working women to get your kicks. It's sad. Pathetic and downright bullying.
Something's that have been posted have hurt 'insta mums' and have caused upset - what have they actually done to you?? You are no better than the disgusting internet trolls who target celebrities or others who are slightly better looking or better off than yourselves. Get a grip.

bye bye....i think you should join netmums hun

Madness.

I couldn't give a toss about "instamums" - whatever floats their boats.

I find it very strange that you'd join MN just tell us off though when you're not one of those women posting about their perfect lives

OP, did you find the thread after reading the Rock My Family post this morning? That made me cry.

There are lots of lovely helpful people on Mumsnet, please don't take the instamums one as typical

Pigeon I agree RMF really struck cord with me this morning - I didn't see the comment about FTEN on the instamums threads.

Only takes one to tarr everyone with the same brush.

PS - Fuck off OP

Erm... What's an instamum?

Have you been working on that comeback for three weeks? Oh and yes you are an instamum I would put money on it

susie is that you??

No idea what an instamum is...but I would put my life on you being one OP

I'm just sitting here looking startled. Not just for being shouted at but also for being told that I am exactly the same as everyone else on this large forum.

Looks slowly to the left...to the right...backs away quietly...

Weird post! Very weird

I actually forgot all about that Instamum post.

OP, that really was some time ago. If you haven't got over it now, I would suggest a nice cup of tea and an epsom salts bath.

Riiiiight

slide left to watch thread.....

and be supported by other women.

Nope support doesn't mean agreeing. Funnily enough women aren't homogenous clones that all think the same.

Interesting that you joined just to post this though

Maybe it should be you that 'gets a grip'

How late to the party OP?

.....and give over regarding bullying . You’re jumping on a bandwagon that fucked off weeks ago

You sound like you're utterly desperate to be an insta mum with loads of followers and a tidy nicely decorated house. But you never will be. All a bit pathetic. Sorry

Oh op, this is all a bit juvenile isn't it?!

@gamerpigeon me too. Such a lovely post xx www.rockmyfamily.co.uk/we-are-all-mums/

They never have perfectly tidy houses....it’s just the ‘camera corner’ part where they are recording,complete with s vase of peonies

It’s an illusion

Off you pop!

In the words of Anna in frozen...

‘Ok byeeeeeee’

Ahhhh....wait....I think I just got this. You had a good run with this story a few weeks ago and you've got some space to fill so you thought you'd give it a little rattle, see if there's anything left in the tank? Ammirite?

Maybe we could do this wee soul a favour and give her some woman are awful to each other stories? Last week my MIL did a really loud fart getting out of my car and just LAUGHED, no excuse me, no respect for me or my things, nothing. Awful.

Completely agree! So much bitching! There are plenty of insta accounts that make me cringe when i see some pics in the 'recommended' wall of pics. I just click away.. if i follow someone who then later becomes less interesting to me, i just unfollow. Simple. Same with FB pages i 'like' and then 'unlike' when no longer relevant. I only focus on what i like at this time and have no time for the rest.
People who actually make a living from it should only be admired in my view. Because its hard work. You have to be fool to think its easy. And you also have to be a fool to think their lives/houses/husbands/ children etc are all perfect. Its exactly the same as a glossy magazine, you have to work hard to make it look perfect and effortless.

Oh yes always peonies.
There's one who dresses herself, her home and her children in only pink, I love seeing her husband push their pink monstrosity of a buggy around desperately trying to retain some masculinity by adopting a one handed push and ridiculous swagger.
Disclaimer: I'm just jealous, I wish I had such an obliging partner

Ah I love chloelovestoshop! She’s such a good example of someone who makes her living through social media, has a very privileged life but for some reason you just can’t hate her for it. She’s just such a sweet and thoughtful person, not a hint of arrogance or inauthenticity. Mother pukka too is someone who may not be your cup of tea but always engages honestly with users and uses her profile to back a genuinely worthwhile cause, rather than just blag free holidays and cars. Massive respect to her.
