I don't know about you, but since the instamums posts I have really noticed the #AD on posts, and to be honest I had no idea I was so gullible. I loved the threads regards instamums and really think MN made a small change, well done us

Exactly, time, ppl far,far, overshare on here. Put their lives for all to see.
Puttin your life on IG cos you're public and not hidin anonymously shouldn't mean that u're askin for it.

Puttin your life on IG cos you're public and not hidin anonymously shouldn't mean that u're askin for it.

You are making it sound like these people are putting their lives on Instagram out of the goodness of their heart, like some sort of public service!

The reason they are not 'hiding' anonymously is because they wouldn't make any money that way.

marvelle - I could lend you mine

You can put the photo up and I can then report you to the moderators of this.....entirely unmoderated site

You can then make yourself fell better by finding a friend who can explain to you that the photo was removed due to jealousy of your fringe. Not because of decency concerns or the fact that even toddlers have the right to privacy.

Quite right Zinger, MOD and NB shouldn't follow MN threads they don't like.

CadyHeron · 09/05/2018 11:53

QUICK! Get over here so they can get ragey about us being in cahoots with the patriarchy and suggest taking Valium

Grin
Gobbolinothewitchscat · 09/05/2018 11:56

Oh God. Don't worry about her. If she has a hapless mishap all the better for your stories

Interestingly, my 4 year old has started screeching at me that I am not "being kind" to her when I make unreasonable requests like asking her to put her shoes on or refusing anymore biscuits. This is also accompanied by unspecified threats that she is going to "tell on me". I've only just recognised the similarities in the argument here...

CadyHeron · 09/05/2018 11:58

@timetogetanewfence see? It's all about sensible discussion! IG should be held accountable! Etc. Understand discussion means fucking vaginas or feminist fringes tho.
Or the clothes. Or ppl gurning into the camera.

SurfingUSA · 09/05/2018 11:58

No, they're completely wrong, this place isn't obsessively watching and bitching at all, how are they even getting that impression? Grin

RandomWordsStuckTogether · 09/05/2018 12:17

I just saw a really passive-aggressive post by StyleMeSunday about transgender people and transphobia. It's so obvious where they're going with this. They're going to pick up the TRA mantle and use it as a stick to beat 'transphobic' mumsnet with.

I'm so utterly sick of the instamums clique I've just gone through my feed and unfollowed all of them (except Mother Pukka). They're obtuse, self-serving, insidiously internecine, shallow, vapid, greedy and yes I'm gonna say it: not too bright either.

What they're complaining about is exactly what people have been saying for ages is a natural consequence of selling your entire family out for freebies.

MOD is bleating about people making her address public online. SHE MADE HER OWN ADDRESS PUBLIC ONLINE WHEN THEY REGISTERED IT AS THE BUSINESS ADDRESS AT COMPANIES HOUSE!! I mean, honestly, are they stupid or what?

You create an entire business around exploiting your children and then register that business against your home address. And then complain that people know your address and call it 'bullying'. Seriously, get a clue. It's a massive safeguarding issue. Anyone can legitimately look up an address at Companies House, you dolts.

And what was that story she posted of someone's bad review of her book? She was implying that the person who posted the review was thick because they didn't understand the premise. No, they just thought the book was bad. The arrogance. The sheer arrogance and ignorance of singling out a bad reviewer and holding them up as an example of someone who 'doesn't get it'. THAT'S bullying, no?

No one is allowed to criticise them. They want to exist in a fake echo chamber of 'hunning' and self-congratulatory butt-kissing. And any dissenting voices are 'haters' and bullies. But the attempt to shut down opinion by calling it bullying is just typical of the disingenuousness displayed by all these ruthless, greedy, literally sell-their-own-grandma-to-make-a-quick-buck, women.

The arrogance is staggering. They honestly believe the internet owes them a living and pious, reverent respect, just for shilling tat and having cute kids.

I'm disgusted by them and completely sick of the whole thing. It's just consumption. Stuff, stuff, stuff. Candles, t shirts, badly-written books, tote bags, 'It' dresses, baby rompers, tupperware, lingerie, ad nauseum.

I'm sick of it all.

CadyHeron · 09/05/2018 12:17

@cadyheron OH yes finally I get it now. screams into the middle distance

Grin As I said earlier, it's only a discussion until people come along and ya know, discuss.
Then it's not anymore. Grin

There's a difference between being a dissenting voice and personal abuse though and I think some struggle to know the difference.

I'm disgusted by them and completely sick of the whole thing. I'm sick of it all
Do you follow them? If so, why if they make you feel like that?

CadyHeron · 09/05/2018 12:25

Sorry,just seen that you said you have unfollowed them. Sounds like a wise move for you.

SurfingUSA · 09/05/2018 12:28

Just read most of the thread. Some witty sorts on here. Wish you'd been in my dire NCT group.

This is really quite funny. Why did insta stoke this up again when everyone had moved onto £156 wine glasses? Any chance the D M OP these or even MN interns just for larfs?!
