The thing is I think mod is someone who will never realise how lucky she truly is. She will always want and strive for more, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Fod yet again saving videos to put up during ‘busy’ times. It just shows how desperate he is for views/more followers.

I find MP and PP quite relatable and MP would be someone that I go on a mum date with! I don’t really follow many instamums as I find them a bit overbearing. I did however come across zarabryd, who has the most vilest captions. Maybe I’m just very prude but I find it quite uncomfortable reading about how she’d like to seat on her partner’s face....

@shesakeeper and along the lines of the car seats, Telford received a page of clothes for children so you didn't have to go shopping, and could choose what you wanted. She was loving a denim jacket that cost £99! Wtf! And when someone said that this cute but of little warmth and use denim jacket (which looked a tad small) was pricey, she said well it's going to be handed down so an easier decision... erm I was pleased with my son's £18 sale snow coat from Boden. (I know sounds like a brag but it is good quality and he's funny about how things feel so it's hard to win) that made me think, who even are you people.

Babaloo is that what he's doing?! Oh my days, I thought he was actually being child focussed and not doing it when he was with them. But you are probably right 😥 I did think it odd. Why are they shopping at night?

I just Watched FOD's stories (against my better judgement). I know we are not allowed to use the W word, but for ffs.

After someone mentioned yesterday about Mrs meldrum constantly going on about gin and alcohol... wow she really does. Why does everyone think it’s so trendy to shout about how much gin they drink? Do they think it’s cool?

@fruitbowl2 🤣🤣 I'm sure it's actually illegal to use your phone in a running car, that hip hop was so cringe. I definitely get the mr bean vibe sometimes.

mumofkids oh yes massively, toe curling 😂

I was more concerned about the twins running around in the diy store ....ffs it's not a playground!...he obviously stores up the stories until optimum Instagram time when there will be more viewers to say what a wonderful dad he is

Do you mean because they're in different outfits? They are made on different days?

These little kids are 2, I have a child that's the same age than them. I am no model parent, but I teach her to hold my hand. Yes she does think it's hilarious to run off and hide, but I don't encourage it in diy stores or near roads (I saw him walking behind them as they ran on a pavement by a road months ago and thought he was nuts) he'd be better off putting them in a trolley and getting what he needed surely? I'm torn between admiring his relaxed parenting and thinking it's also insane. But I also know that if my other half did that and put it all over social media I'd probably be a bit annoyed and think he was being a bit crap just for some views.

I think his whole thing with the twins just makes me sad. I said on the other thread that I found it upsetting that he shows pics of them crying,( and someone took my head off for some reason).

No I've watched them again 🙈 Is it a lot warmer in Kent? He has thick lined coat and woolly jumper, and they always look so cold. I know it's not allowed to question what they do but he's pushing them in a peak with long sleeve t-shirts on and their hands and cheeks are red. Maybe I shouldn't have watched again... and boosted views.

*pram not peak🙄 They look bloody freezing in the garden too.

They are extremely cute, though

Agree he should be holding their hands. I don't get why rubbish parenting is supposed to be funny when it's a bloke doing it Why do we hold men to different standards than women? (Not talking about anyone here, btw).

I can't wait for his book to come out so he can tell us all it's done

Actually, I can't imagine what's left to say in his book. Surely every moment is detailed in his IG?

@flyingbird I foolishly let mine walk today (and must remember not to believe her when she promises to walk nicely 🤣) and I was by this point in a rush and trying to grab something from marks, whilst she looked cute and her giggle was delightful under my breath I was ffs just bloody stop it before you fall into a sharp corner, run into a grumpy shopper who doesn't think you are as cute as me, or get lost 🙄. If I just followed filming and naked by weird commentary wouldn't I look like a prick?

They are absolutely lovely little girls. I thought the same about the book! What's left?
I remember seeing a dad on school run who's wife was a head teacher. He used to pick the 3 month old baby girl out of the car seat by grabbing her babygro and lifting! Sort of like a cat carrying a kitten looking. Not shit parenting but not something I'd ever tried!!! I like to think it just for effect and safety is taken into account. They can't just roam everywhere wildly.

just seen above should read 'making a weird commentary' not naked 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm sure he's not naked, he'd be arrested.

Hilarious typo. And not an image I needed:

Harking back to the "posh"'debate earlier. Of course a woman in her 30s called "Clemmie" has a posh background. The name is the only signal you need. You wouldn't have found any girls called Clemmie in my rough as arseholes comprehensive school in the 90s.

I find it strange how monotone the language is on Instagram. Compare to twitter where the dialogue is much more open. Get the opposite problem of too much trolling, but still. It's weird how 'fangirl' insta is. Perhaps it's just instamums but I do see it on other people's walls too. I wonder if the algorithm has worsened that, as you have to be seen to engage, so a quick 'I wuv u fellow wealthy instamum' is needed as it means your engagement goes up.
