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.

Chloe is that you?
Why resurrect a zombie thread just to say that.
YABU.

Haha no it’s becausethe other instamum thread got closed and I think it’s worth flagging the insta mums who seem genuinely nice and decent rather than tar them all with the same brush as the odious MoD and chronies. I wonder if she and FoD are sending their popularity is waning and the flash in the pan coming to an end and suddenly panicking about her having to go back to work to pay for their new house...

What are instamums?

Are you sure you aren't an insta mum because someone has hit a nerve with you.

PS Tra pal take a complementary wah blanket on your way out 😘

Given that every instamum has read that thread and a lot took on board what was said, I would say it was a valid discussion that was well overdue.

How rude are you!!??!!

Goodness

Boo hoo. The door's that way ---> Don't hit your arse on the way out.

I want to be just like OP when I grow up

Are you complaining about mumsnet or instagram??

What does an instamum do? Im on instagram. Does this make me a particular sort of bad person?

Ohhhh is this what Clemmie was moaning about?

She said she had got messages to say the thread had been added to.... why was it deleted?

U ok hun?

Hi guys Clemmie here I felt it was time to say my two pence worth on all of this. I think the comments made in the original post last year were very valid and many of us ‘instamums’ took them on board and changed our ways to be more transparent with gifted or as. I get that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ll never understand why you’d choose to come onto a public forum to make judgmental and unkind comments about the way people live their lives?

Yes a few people dm me to tell me the other bread had re started by the time I looked mumsnet had deleted some comments I guess they weren't very nice? I wasn’t moaning I was just saddened that people had felt the need to re start something that had been said a hundred times over

Still don't fully understand what an insta mum is but only just got hang of fb.

What the fudge did i just read? A load of abuse from someone who is telling people off for being abusive. Oh the sweet sweet irony...

Anyalovesrose/Clemmie - strange sort of post from you. Are you trying to create controversy so you can have a rant on Instagram about Mumsnetters?

Strange you mentioning people being judgemental and unkind when you were extremely nasty to a poster on your Instagram last year and encouraged others to be equally nasty.

Must be a slow day for you!

I’m not sure about ‘gifted’ tbh. Surely it’s an ad as it’s exposure for a brand in return for product. Gifted makes it seem like people just send things out of kindness, not to try and boost their sales.

Not at all and I hate the Instagram vs mumsnet thing ultimately we’re all mums doing our best. That incident you’re referring to was a bad call on my behalf and I apologised directly to the person involved. But to clarify I didn’t encourage anyone to do anything, but I learnt a valid lesson and made a mistake

I’m with you on this one and I think this is where the area is murky with the ASA. Anna and Susie are doing a great job at #gifted if an item is featured. If a brand are giving you something out of love then there no obligation to post but I now try and say this was sent to me etc

Anyalovesrose - if you hate the ‘Instagram vs mumsnet thing’ why did you post on Saturday along the lines of Mumsnetters are at it again ?

What did the so called deleted posts say about you???

Please can you link to this Instamum´s thread so we can see what you are talking about? I have no clue what this is about.

I’m really not interested in flinging mud around in an Instamums/Mumsnet tiff. It saddens me that people can’t discuss things calmly and reasonably. Still think ‘gifted’ should be changed to ‘ad’ tho...

It was the end of the part 2 thread

I think this is really interesting previously I was under the assumption (and had been advised this from some brands) that if you’re paid to advertise you need to #ad but now I think the rules and guidelines are changing. We’re all doing this together getting it getting it right so if anything we can learn from one another including a thread like this
