Instamums (continued)

[MrBull]

Not a TAAT

In 6 months times the accounts of instaparents will be bigger, the kids will be older, the houses due to be upgraded and they will be just as annoying as they are today.
Meanwhile I’m grateful for TOMM for giving me daily kick up the arse to get my house sorted (it wasn’t too bad I just really need to stay on top) and the meal planners and crock pot hungerpots posts which actually make a big difference. And ads for Method. My house is basically now rhubarb flavour!

@EeebyMum

The point is these threads have been running for a year now and it's always about the same person/people

I'm also still baffled why MNHQ shut down conversation when some posters mentioned certain people but not others? Did we ever find out what that was about?

@eeebymum off to look! 😊

@alice that was quite obvious. I think some accounts see all exposure as extra traffic and there’s no bad publicity (so don’t look you’ll still get extra followers) and that other account, we should probably just respect the decision.

To be fair, at times you could discuss FOD for hours, he’s really quite something. I’m still following him. A bit like when I used to watch eastenders, I kept thinking I should stop but couldnt help but watch the next instalment 🤣 (I did stop though about 14 years ago, so eventually I will)

I don’t follow either of them, I did have a nosey at the lovely PJ’s though! The only time I ever hear about them is on here. in fact I’d never even heard of them before until all these threads. I just like the obsessive defending from Sofia, it’s laughable. But she isn’t in any way connected to one of them..... it’s just a coincidence.

I find it so so bizarre that you can literally mention SWCNBN - a thread goes poof and people get suspended or banned yet people can properly mouth off about others and its fine.

@ivegotatheoryitcouldbebunnies1

It's pointless me saying this but I honestly have no connection with any instamums (or dads). I'd have said the same if the jama comments had been about anyone.

@glagdy & @aliceinwonderlust23

I agree, these threads do always end up being mostly about the same people and it is bizarre that literally hundreds of comments have been allowed absolutely slating certain other "influencers" yet nothing can be said about SWCBN.

I can understand why the last thread got deleted.

I don’t understand why people who follow SWCNBM don’t understand the deletions and why it’s off limits. It seems fairly obvious.

I would think that as they have such large followings and are 2 different accounts, the ‘instaparents’ Are referred to because they have the most shared followers. And he very often posts things that parents discuss. Kids balanced, being toilet trained, ill. It’s valid to all of us when we make decisions about what we post online.
I don’t follow many accounts mentioned so I could not comment on them. And the ones I do follow like Jools Oliver, don’t put out any content that is in anyway controversial. Your child playing violin or a £15 dress is nothing like your cuddle with your sick child or turning special moments into Instagram posts.

His posts yesterday appeared to be acknowledging the hard time his partner had had and how he was stepping up, but it seemed to me he desperately wants to be appreciated and for someone to say ‘sit down mate you’ve just traveled for 28 hours’.
Constantly trying to impart advice will mean you get discussed. Whether that’s on here or by people who follow.

While I don't know exactly the reasons for wanting the deletions (the whole issue is a muddy mess imo). The comment about using other people's experiences and creating a persona can't really be considered a controversial theory (as it was when it was first touted on the threads I think) because she has acknowledged as much in the monologue on her website. She talks about truth needing a little help and romanticising lives. This was new to me, I have to admit but maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.

Would rather we didn't go into discussing her though, if only to keep the rest of the thread up.

@sofialemon I completely agree with everything you’ve said. When someone publicly shares that they have had serious mental health struggles, have made suicide attempts and are still having a daily battle (regardless of anything else) I think the only sensible way forward is to discourage conversation on that topic. At the end of the day if something were to happen there’s a little girl at the heart of this and none of us want to be a part of a distressing situation for her.

@sofialemon everything in the post above not everything you’ve said in every post!

@SpiritLeveller

I'll not comment about SWCNBN after this as it will probably get the thread deleted but have to say she only acknowledged that a lit of what she writes is not necessarily about herself after being pulled up on it.

Surely someone writing a piece, supposedly about their own life experiences, would put a disclaimer at the end stating that some of these experiences may not be their own?

Instead she just did a stories on the subject basically saying people are stupid and "don't deserve to be alive" if they thought what she had written was factual.

@sofialemon I actually can’t believe you are writing those posts. Does it not strike you that those posts and comments speak volumes? It’s not what the majority of accounts do. Just leave well alone. And if you don’t like don’t follow. How can you be defender of the OD’s yet determined to bring this woman down?

I agree with you on this Sofia but also what MightyMousie says which is why I think it is better to leave the subject alone.

@Mightymousie

What have I said that is so terrible?

I agree best not to discuss at all, but then it's probably best not to discuss any individual insta accounts in a derogatory way.

Hopefully just the individual posts will go if mn want to delete

@sofialemon there’s nothing wrong with discussing individual accounts in a open discussion way. X just posted this, y said this. That’s normal. Although I think if you applied your comments to MOD you’d be all over it like a rash and terribly upset

What did she say? I know you can’t write it all out as it will get deleted, but it’s honestly idiocy to think she is not involved with MoD.

MOD and CC are really quiet atm so not sure what there is to discuss, but mrshinch is now starting to annoy me a bit so I may unfollow

Her house is spotless so there's no satisfaction in watching her 'clean'

A whole new level of annoyance for me this morning. Seeing dresslikeamum getting Glastonbury tickets when she attended loads of festivals this year for free
