To not read her blog

[Rageagainstthepenguins]

My SIL writes a blog she seems to do doing good with it and gets money to go places and paid to write about stuff she’s given and has a lot of people reading it. Trouble is it’s all complete BS. She’s vegetarian and reviews meat, did give her their kids jags and is now getting money to review the flu vaccine. One of her kids has behavioural issues and her husband is always miserable but her blog is all happy families. It’s all she ever talks about but I can’t take it anymore WIBU to stop reading it? Do I fake it when she chats about it or tell her.

Just say you've been busy and haven't had time to read it.

Unfortunately this is the case with most bloggers/instagrammers.

Its never a real snapshot of life. You do what you do for the clicks and the likes and the money it generates.

I wouldnt read it either. I dont read blogs as it is. If she asks just say youll have a look when you can.

Just tell her you haven't got time to write in your own diary let alone spend time reading hers 😂

did give her kids jags

Wow, good for her, must be a successful blog. Most kids are lucky to get a clapped out Micra.

Oh god I know someone with a mummy-blog.

I’m glad she gets enjoyment out of doing it, but it’s so dull. She’s a very normal Mum working part time, with no real interests other than skincare and cleaning, so her blog posts are 400 words of her not really saying anything at all.

I don’t pretend to have read it- she doesn’t ask, but if she did I’d say it feels a bit weird and voyeuristic (not a lie, that’s how I felt when I made the the mistake of reading the first few posts).

Should say didn’t give them jags as in injections.

It's jabs!

Not in Scotland it’s not!

Jags for us too Craft1905

It's jags in Scotland...

But jags makes no sense, injections are jabs because they 'jab' you with a needle!

No0e they jag you with a needle. Jaggy things are sharpe!

Sharp even!

It’s just slang!

Parts of Belfast would say jags as well, I’m guessing because of the ulster-scots connection.

Just because it’s not a familiar term to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

So jaggy like jagged? Every day's a school day!

Why would you read it? Does she come into your office and look at what you do?
Does the actually ask if you’ve read it?
If so I’d do a combination of saying “no time” and “oh I read your steak review - so funny that people are so willing to believe stuff online”, always pointing out the worst of her lies.

So glad Jags have been cleared up is your sister in lsw Mrs M mumsnetters can't stand her , look just say good luck sil crack on but blogging isn't my thing

And say most of it is just advertising

Fucking hell, just because it's not English it must be wrong.

Ha ha ha we had the jags/jabs realisation in an online antenatal group years a go.

I wouldn't read, it sounds infuriating when you know the truth. Just make the right noises when it gets mentioned and change the conversation.
