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.

I'm not condoning what she did at all.She even shaved her head.Nobody of stable mind would do that.As far as I know she is still under investigation and may face criminal charges.
But NB is profiting from what happened.
She has a hashtag and running a website about mental illness.
Once she got over the shock and hurt Asha caused.She could of chosen to support but did the opposite and has used it as an opportunity to gain followers and promote her life coach mate.
That's also Sick in my opinion.

Does anyone else follow Trinny? I find her hilarious.

I have no idea who these women are that you're talking about right now, and I'm glad of it. They sound vile.

I've no idea who Nathasha Baillie is, I followed AP through someone else. But a quick google and there's loads of really unpleasant posts from that Natasha, and hashtags. There she posted AP's apology and description of what was going on, mental health wise but basically just mocked it.It's odd. I have seen that AP is back on Instagram but with her actual name (not P) with a private account so hopefully she's getting the support she needs.
The whole instamums is just a bigger playground with the rich dominant clique and those who try to keep up. It's sad. When I first was on there it felt so different.

I just looked at the event NB and her 'Life Coach' are holding.
Self Care Sunday..Tickets are £80!

£80 for some self care with someone who's online persona is bitch of people with the most serious mental health problems

FOD stories tonight show the half painted playroom......really like it

if it was MOD showing it to us though i fear i'd hate it!!!

Just had a browse through at the stuff about the woman lying about having cancer. Unpleasant reading. There seems to little or no understanding as to the mental illness that caused her to behave that way.

Off topic a bit maybe but has anyone seen @selfishmothers relaunch as an instazine? I finally had time to read through it and it’s really good. I really like Molly at selfish mother also and she’s raised A LOT of money for women’s and children’s charities - I guess she’d count as an instamum

Exactly @Flamingoringo NB is promoting her MH site etc but showed no compassion to her ex bff.
Instead she gained a huge amount of followers and destroyed Asha on Instagram.

And I right in thinking NB is selfish Mother?

No NB is Nathasha Baillie

Ok, got it. Think I got confused because NB was wearing a jumper that said selfish Mother.
They’re all starting to blend into each other.

I'm slightly fascinated by the instamummies thing because I'm on mat leave and I can't work out how any of them have been time. Anyway, I was amazed the other day when I came across Natasha Baillie on Instagram. I had some dealings with her back in the day (we're going back about 8/9 years) when she was a vintage seller, at the time when vintage was very en vogue. I dabbled slightly so I often had been watching dresses on eBay that would pop up for sale on her site with an 100% + mark up. She stopped that when she moved abroad (and I fell out of my own interest around that time).

Iwas not at all surprised she had found another bandwagon to jump on and another group of people to try and mug off. She was incredibly cliquey at that time, trying to get in with vintage bloggers so now she's doing it with the instamums.

Genuinely hope Mother Pukka's okay - her husband's taking over her account at the moment while she has a break.

I like her - smart and witty. I hope she has a good support network (her family seem lovely).

Are you done?

Now MOD and FOD are having a lovely mini break that 'all couples need'yet it's an AD!!! Alright if you get a freeebie and have childcare 🙄 Actually feel annoyed by that. Normally I'm just amused by their ads but that is annoying.

Well they need a short free holiday to recover from their recent long free holiday. Obvs.

We knew their mini break was in the woodworks with their insta stories last week saying how tired fod was and only looks after others.

I've stated previously that I actually quite like both FOD and MOD but had to laugh when FOD said he and MOD hadn't had a night sans children since, wait for it, AUGUST 2017! It must feel like a million years ago.

My husband and I haven't had a night away in over 6 years; neither of us have family nearby and there is the more pressing matter of mortgages and bills to pay, rather than a fancy night in a hotel.

I havent had a night without kids since 2014. :cries:

Its shit to have no family support. What I wouldnt give to find an Insta-Mum who has no support. They either have an "amazing mum" or "amazing friends" who seem to take their kids at a moment's notice. Even The Harridan who has 5 large gangly boys (5!!!!) managed to farm all of them out for a weekend away to several different friends so she could have a couples weekend away. It blew my mind.

I've stated previously that I actually quite like both FOD and MOD but had to laugh when FOD said he and MOD hadn't had a night sans children since, wait for it, AUGUST 2017! It must feel like a million years ago.

I also like MOD, but they are getting further and further removed from reality and, I would imagine, most of their followers lives.

It was probably just a throwaway comment of FOD's behalf, but after the ADHD thing, you'd think he'd be a bit more careful about the stuff he's saying. I'm sure he wasn't genuinely trying to elicit sympathy, but they've just bought a massive house next to the sea, they've just come back from a free holiday to Florida and we're supposed to feel sorry because they haven't had a night out since last summer (probably after they came back from one of their other paid-for-by-someone-else holiday)?

TREAT YO'SELF, FOD. You deserve it. #notawanker

It seems that @dresslikeamum also stayed there last night... wonder when my invite will come, looks lovely! 🤞😬🤷‍♀️

Due to special needs my husband and I have not had a night out in 7 years and have not had a night on our own in over 15. So for me, it's gone from busy normal working family I could relate to, to completely out of touch, pampered luvvies who mention they want something and get offered it. Ugh.

At least dresslikeamum took her kids on the treat.
