Mrs hinch

[Rosegoldlilly]

Don't get me wrong she seems like a lovely lady and does have some useful tips but AIBU to think she cleans alot and often. As a single mum I don't hardly have anytime during the day to do this amount of cleaning! Now it's making me feel bad that I don't clean this much 😂

Never mind the cleaning. Why does she have flowers on her hob? Perhaps she doesn't cook and that's why her house is so clean ...

Well, I'm definitely not following her 'cos I don't live in a monochrome house.

What a bizarre account.

It's the same grey photos over and over again. Who lives like this?

And the flowers on the hob? same flowers all the time?

Bonkers.

I think she needs to get another hobby, to be honest - none of that will be doing her lungs any good.

My DH couldn't live with a woman like that. Fortunately for him, he lives with me!

She's up to 106k now
That mental
I follow thtmm and mrs mummy wright. Their growth was slow and steady. There is something wrong for her to be growing at this rate
And it's all so boring

I thought the world had lost its colour looking at her Instagram.

There’s only so much cleaning she’ll be able to do, it’ll turn into a lifestyle account soon enough. It’ll be babies next.

Ladies - please bear in mind Mrs Hinch is a real person and how your comments can hurt someone.
Imagine you were sat at your computer/on your phone reading this thread about yourself.
People saying "you were boring", "she's a fake", "she's irresponsible", "she's a bit of a dick".
We're all adults here aren't we - she is now classed as an "influencer" but since when did all influencers have to obide by the good samaritan way of life - vegan, HSE approved, fill only a jam jar of unrecycleable waste for a year, etc. Are you all perfect and leave no nasty footprint on this earth?
Is she forcing her followers to do the same? No that's their choice. When did it become a world where there was always someone to point a finger at and blame?
Yes there are people that follow her and her account has grown and she is tagged in stories of people cleaning their sinks, if that offends you and you find it insulting enough to create/comment a forum to talk nasty about a human being then shame on you - wonder whether you would tell your followers they were dumb for doing it if you had that many?
Fortunately, she's has created herself as a brand, and people like her personality and that is why she done her prior job (before this and before working at home) so bloody well.
Her following continues to grow due to this, due to her engagement with all her followers, and most likely people like the OP (who I can guarantee is not her) doing threads like this even though it's full of bitchy comments that will gain followers because people are nosey. Surprisngly, some people like a "show home" and while this might not seem like a home to you, to her, her husband their families and friends it is.
Can we please just adopt a moral if nothing nice to say, don't say it because really where is this thread getting you, is it going to make her go away? No. Is it going to make you a better person? Definitely not, all it's doing is showing your true colours.
Have a think about how your comments and words might hurt someone.

Do influencers only expect nice comments, charlireedee?

ChardonnaysPrettySister (Changed my username) No of course not, but what's the point in the nasty ones?
All they do is upset someone - it's only human to feel down/sad/disappointed when you read something not very nice about you isn't it?

I thought the world had lost its colour looking at her Instagram.

She scrubbed it all clean.

Well I was watching her "story" earlier on IG with my 3 year old beside me, she emptied a full drawer of already clean and shiny cutlery to wash again and my 3 year old pipes up "she's stupid mummy, it's already clean"

Some influencers do confuse constructive criticism and nastiness.

You do like a clean state yourself, it seems.

I don't think anyone here is actually being "nasty" 😑 we're just having a discussion which is what the likes of mumsnet is for. We can't all agree all the time, some think she's wonderful, some think she's ott, bizarre whatever doesn't make us nasty for having a difference of opinion

clean slate

Sorry!

I wouldn't have said she's boring or a bit of a dick is constructive criticism, I think that is nasty but agree it's your opinion.
Not sure what ChardonnayPrettySister means about a clean state?
Admittedly she can deal with people not liking her home because everyone's taste are different but I think you can agree if you were reading this thread and it was about you it wouldn't make you feel good.

I mean that you keep name changing on the same thread.

ChardonnayPrettySister is that cause I changed my username?

I've changed my username once - first one was my previous name, this one is some form of my married name - sorry for confusion.
If I wanted a clean slate I wouldn't have bothered telling anyone I'd changed it

Mumof3girlssoontobe4 you're right it doesn't make you nasty having a difference of opinion, what makes it nasty is voicing that opinion about her when she didn't ask you for it.
Please don't think I'm being rude but if you walked through a town and saw a man you thought was bigger than he should be, would you go up and tell him? Or if you saw another woman in a dress that you thought wasn't very nice, would you go let her know? I doubt anyone would, so why is okay to do the same on the internet?

To be fair I didn't actually call her any names though

I apologise for any offence. You're right - I probably wouldn't like the criticism myself (though anything you put on Insta could be exposed to it).

However, I am genuinely concerned about the amount of chemicals she uses, from both an environmental and health point of view.

And I'm still puzzled by the flowers on the hob, but perhaps it's more common than I'd realized.

Anyway, I promise that I didn't in any way intend to be unkind or offensive.

That's fair - I was replying to your comment "it doesn't make us nasty for having a difference of opinion" but the whole thing was more of a generalised statement, not directed solely at you.

No hard feelings here 😊 what Mrs hinch does need to think about though is the amount of potentially dangerous advice she is giving her followers when it comes to mixing chemicals. People are looking up to her as some kind of cleaning role model, she should be more responsible with her advice and videos

Some of the loo cleaner mixes are just trouble waiting too happen. The grey is just so awful.

That's constructive criticism - I agree, I think as long as she keeps her highlight updated with the importance of reading Manufacturers Safety Instructions and letting people know the risks and what's dangerous (regardless of whether she continues to do it - it's her choice at the end of the day) then that's the important thing.

But she is being irresponsible and being a bit of a dick about the chemicals thing. If you know that you are influencing people, you don't encourage them to mix chemicals as its downright stupid and dangerous. If you make a mistake about it and don't follow those instructions, and are then told numerous thousands of times that it's dangerous, you apologise and explain to your followers that it's stupid and dangerous.

Then as any good marketer would do, you use it as an opportunity to look like a better and enlightened person by telling your followers that you'll find safer ways of doing the same job, making things just as clean if not more so, to show them in your next story. You don't just continue to show everybody that you're being dangerous and basically encouraging them to do the same (because let's face it, people do blindly copy 'influencers' and those influencers know that).
