AIBU to be over such “bravery”, “honesty” and “rawness”

Pregnancy and birth: Mum Clemmie Telford on candid Instagram images www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-46131215

Now before you start: this is why I don’t go on insta anymore. But this crap on the BBC? Feck off.

Am so fed up of this type of fawning pap - a woman got on the loo looking fed up in her birthday suit 40w gone and gets accolades for “speaking out” about the “honesty of that time”.

AIBU to just not care? AIBU to be fed up of having the cult of middle class motherhood rammed in my chops? Having been there twice before I didn't realise any “awareness” needed to be raised?

It’s just another freaking priveliged Professional Mother telling the rest of us what we already know and how AMAAAAZINGGGGG it is and how EMPOWEREDDD AND SPECIAL we all are.

Go away. Folk have been having and raising children for millennia. Stop packaging it to us like we’re missing out on “the expeeeeerienccccceee”

I should have taken photos yesterday morning when I was cleaning a waterfall of runny shit off my stairs as a candid view of motherhood.

This all got a million times worse when Myleene Klass had a clothing brand, 3 books telling us all how to parent and her own range of pile creams I may be over exaggerating 12 seconds after she pissed on a stick.

Someone should do a b&w insta photo post of that moment when you accidentally get poo on your finger when wiping your baby's arse.

AnyFucker it would have been bloody news worthy if I had managed to have a shit in my third trimester 😂

@epicclusterfuck
The contrast between the lady who gave birth in a tree during floods in Mozambique and this self-indulgent show off is very clear maybe some should paste on her instagram page.
I think brave raw etc definitely apply to the former and not this Clemie nincompoop!

Whilst I know you’re joking @breakyourselfagainstmystones that kind of thing honestly wouldn’t perturb me at all as it DOES show “the honesty” of having small children 🤢 and is unlikely to be a platform to go “look at me I’m amaaahhhhzzzzinggggggg”.

Maybe by posting a picture of a waterfall of turds on the stairs you could “raise awareness” of the effectiveness of say Flash vs Ecover Grin

I will PM you my Instagram so you can follow me Grin other highlights include the rules of 'is it nutella or poo' and how to answer a child when they ask "If a lizard and an elephant had a baby would it be a giant lizard or a tiny elephant".

Yes @Ghanagirl I was amazed to find out it was 18 years ago! Don't think many will remember instamum in 18 years!
