Ethics regarding Instamums and huns

[BurberryIsSo2000]

Homeisthecalm here, I think it's suitable to start a new ethics thread.

Since clearly, the one from yesterday isn't really about ethics but Clemmie.

Thanks all,

Keep it as nice or as stingy as you like

I'll start off by saying things should be clearly marked 'ad' or 'gifted'

Although the term gifted gives me the rage

Haha @wearelocal so he’ll be “making love” today then

I looked at his stories today and he’s got a range of hair gel with poundland that he’s promoting - never looked at his stories before and it’s 100% adverts

Oh my God he has a hair gel range in Poundland! That is hilarious! 😂

I mean, I'm not even really knocking him for trying to earn a crust, we've all got to do it. It's just such a contrast from the high end, luxury, expensive watches and designer clothes image that he was all about in TOWIE.

Moonkissed that’s what got me. I prefer when people show everyday shops but he’s peddling a lifestyle of luxury vinyl wrapped cars/watches etc and then sneaking in the Poundland collab via stories.

I’m genuinely confused how he makes his money as surely as the neverheardofbefore brands whose garms he’s displaying daily can’t pay enough for the cars/lifestyle

I always used to wonder where he got his money from when he was in TOWIE? I remember once he was talking about a watch he had bought that was thousands of pounds. The show itself couldn't have been paying that much? Their dad is a tailor I think, I guess that could make quite a lot of money in the right places?

It's so hard to believe that him and Giovanna are siblings. I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the Fletchers, they are the ultimate smug marrieds and so sickly sweet, but she is very classy and seems like a genuine quite normal down to earth person, and is genuinely talented as well.

Yeah, they're unlikely siblings!

I like the Fletchers. Some of her mum podcasts have been pretty good too. The thing that works for them is they've got an interesting life outside their family/kids, with all their theatre, book and music stuff. So many of the parenting bloggers are just like me tbh and I don't enjoy watching that kind of drudgery when it's my real life (grocery hauls or cleaning routines anyone!?).

I so agree with you Spongebob. They have a life! They are more c'leb parents than insta parents .

Watching the Meldrums holiday on IG is really uncomfortable, the sickness bug is spreading but yet they keep going to activities and the restaurant.
This is where being on IG can trip you up, tagging the hotel etc and everyone can see who the bug started from. Not great advertising for Neilsen really (if it is an ad or whatever)

TheLady it's car crash tv isn't it. I loved them saying yesterday that it wasn't the resort, 'they brought it with them' That was nice of them!

I’m feeling like I might catch it through their IG.
Being ill is awful, but I would remove the tags from the photos (I also wouldn’t be instagramming my sick kids though so there’s that)

really feel for them all being ill, have sent her a message to check out Lizzy loves healthy's charcoal capsule sick bug cure.

#ad Nipersvest. mod did a similar thing when she posted eating oysters at a restaurant in Thanet, then storied with sickness bug all day. They must have been delighted. (Funnily, those charcoals things were recommended and tagged too).

Watching ill people? No sireee,not my cup of Kenyan. Why are you looking at such shit?!

Laminlodge I blame the folk here. I'd never heard of them before. I'm watching open mouthed wondering how people watch them . But you are right. Must stop.

Also my Mario "Craig David" comment was jokez as my number 2 would say,so boo sucks to you all for not showing it the love 😝

I was watching for the holiday snaps, the sick bed pictures were unexpected!
It is a bit like watching a public health information film on spread of disease so I am stepping away now until they are recovered.

WeAreLocal Ha ha yes STOP. Go read some Anne Tyler Or if you're a working girl (not like THAT, lololol) get back to work missee. Sorry talking to myself there!!! Late lunch break now over

I wouldn't be very happy if I knew there were other guests in my hotel with a sickness bug who were going to activities and to the restaurant - there is a reason why most schools have a 48 hour exclusion period!

Laminlodge lolz to your craig David quip and yep back to work

@ConfidentialWaste pssst spill the baked beans please about Sam Fairs' husband Paul's Intagram's creepiness. You got me looking now. See Local? I am just as bad ha ha . I think I can guess though Confidentail. Is it his love of being in the nuddy as my next-door neighbour Sharon would say? Some say the naked body is art.I think they are wrong.

I wondered if it was the wearing the same outfit as his son in all the photos?

It's not that exciting! It's just the list of people he follows that I found a bit odd.

Oh sh*t I've looked now. Is it him nearly drowning the child with a camera in his hand 😱

Why is twinning a thing on Instagram? Seriously people,your individuality is golden.Even if your nuddy buttocks are not.lol
