Instamums in the Telegraph

[caperberries]

Is there a new thread about this?

Women are very hard on women. Whether mother of daughter critics like to admit it or not, a lot of the aggression sent her way is fuelled by jealousy. I don’t like a lot of what she posts regarding her children and I do think she was a hypocrite re the Kim k body shaming thing BUT it’s another level to sent abusive messages. There is never any need for anyone to ever send her abuse just don’t follow her. It blows my mind. People won’t send father of daughters the same level of abuse, they won’t tell him he is a horrendous father, it is always worse for the woman.

I disagree @Oddish

He's had a lot of negativity on IG over the potty picture and the story where he didn't strap the twins into the car properly. The difference between FOD and Mod is that Simon doesn't get into an argument in the comments section of his photos. He just completely ignores any criticism and, as far as I'm aware, doesn't DM anyone about it, either. That way it just tends to die down and doesn't take on a life of its own the way it does on MOD's.

@kirinm

What did you mean by this:

"Well I bet MOD is chuffed and thankful to NSSM now as undoubtedly her post yesterday drew more attention to MOD coming off instagram than anything else"

I'm confused

Whether mother of daughter critics like to admit it or not, a lot of the aggression sent her way is fuelled by jealousy

Oh, we're back to that old chestnut, are we?

There is never any need for anyone to ever send her abuse just don’t follow her

And this one too. Maybe MOD might like try to follow that advice as well. It's not one sided. What abuse has been sent to her, by the way? Having a different opinion to the one she holds and stating that opinion isn't abuse.

Oddish the stuff at the end of the last thread was just mucking around - it didn’t mean much

I agree he uses his dc more but these threads have been about that too - it was just the papers who could run with more of a story not about him

I don’t think it is as you’re saying it

I hear what you are saying pavlova but the criticism isn’t quite as vicious. Also he hasn’t engaged at all and he’s been left be pretty much. MOD attempted to engage, yeah she got it all wrong and (possibly) flounced and now her mates are fighting her corner. No one is fighting SH’s corner because no one needs to, questions go unanswered and it’s all forgotten. If he was receiving the same level of criticism as mod surely, with all his hundereds of followers, someone would’ve stepped in with a white knight post by now?

Jeanie no not at all, that is a tired old DM line

Sorry I don’t know what DM line means?

Pavlova- thing is from what I saw last week it wasn’t just difference of opinions, it was people saying she doesn’t deserve to have children. To me that’s vicious abuse.

Jeanie I mean something the Daily Mail would say

I haven’t seen anything like that on here

@JeanGenie23 I didn't see that, can you link it?

And your absolutely right it isn’t one sided and I don’t think she has handled all situations well but I also don’t think she deserved the amount of abuse I saw in the comment section. And if she got that on her public account I can only imagine the private messages!

Who said that? @JeanGenie23 I can't remember seeing anything along those lines, certainly not on here.

The abuse some IGers received from MOD's defenders, however was absolutely vile. One disgusting, disablist comment in particular. And that's only the stuff that's been made public.

Oh you mean on her IG?

Yes agree it is vicious on there, part of what is awful

I don't think anyone has ever said she doesn't deserve to have children! This is what really annoys me about these threads, people half remember stuff and then throw things out as 'fact' when they aren't true.

And then the telegraph come on and quote it.

None of us are making comments like that - either the ones Pavlova points out or the one you did because it’s not something anyone agrees with (which is part of the reason why I’m here in any case)

Sparkle- It was on her Instagram post on Friday afternoon, I remember showing my husband and I was shocked!

Thanks Marsha I’m not familiar with all the acronyms. I must say I detest the Daily Mail, I just feel like anyone who has the desire to say such vicious things to a stranger must be jealous, or have serious issues. It’s easier to say nothing is it not?

The quotes used in he telegraph article aren't used in the correct context...very misleading!

Jeanie it is an awful comment and we did have quite a few posts about what a vicious place IG had become on that account

@JeanGenie23 to be honest, I looked and I didn't see any of that on her comment section.

What I did see what followers of hers attack other posters. One of whom has been hounded by people who have attempted to then follow her onto other SM platforms.

Perspective.

I realise those comments weren’t made on mumsnet they were made on instagram Friday afternoon (that’s when I saw them anyway)

Sparkle- yes she then went on the stories to say she had reported them but she couldn’t delete them on the writer can delete comments.

@JeanGenie23 well, that doesn't really sit right with some responses to that instastory, so on this occasion I will just move on because I don't think they are mutually exclusive or accurate.

The comments under FODs latest post make me 🤢 how are people so invested in a stranger on the internet that she can be gone for 48hours and their worlds are falling apart. “She brightens my day” “I miss seeing her new teeth” etc.
