The weirdest thing…I’ve just read about her pregnancy, saw the pictures of her in the snow with her little ones..and just had a massive pang of envy.
Never had that before about Stacey Solomon..just seems nice, the young kids…all the money
Very grateful for my Dd, 4, but can’t have more and would love more. Very grateful to have a roof over our heads and doing ok..but would love more!
I’m not an envious/jealous person normally so it’s taken me a bit by surprise, I’ve also never been interested in S.S either way, although she seems a nice person I suppose 🤷🏻‍♀️
Weird!

I have only one and when I read about it I thought good luck with that lol and don't envy that sort of life tbh hence why I don't follow her know much about her until I came across this thread. She does remind me of the cleaning lady who lives on a farm with the alpacas that I had to block as it kept on coming up on my sm.

Money isn't everything but it's bought her a whole lot of " easier" to great happiness.
remeber she is managed too.each of her posts is a production.
It's an advert.a script. It's staged.
For you and me we post and not even the can be relied upon to show more than that snapshot.but for people like her.whos business is the Instagram it's even worse because it literally is a stage set.
A set she gets told how to be on.and paid often £20.000.that is obscene.
Think how much better we could create a life for our damily four stories so 80.000!
And the boys in between the ads are to reel us in.make us feel part of her clan.wamt to watch more then bang we are hit with the business the adds the real reason they are there.
I'm not saying she's a bad person.allthough she does seem to have somewhat morphed into a less natural Stacey since her " business" grew. But just remeber yoyr feeling how your being manipulated to feel.luke the car or perfume ads.like the job Lewis ads.its a advert.its to sell her brand. And 100% managed.
They really need to be forced to take the filters off though.jesus it's one big lie.

Cleaning?80.000 per stories for it.ads ads ads. "Farm" .haha.its a joke and an infuriating one. Such manipulative advertising.reel you in bullshit.
Glad you blocked her. Yoyr saner because of it trust me.

Mellymoon · 29/12/2022 03:34

I think she’s nice but I can’t believe she’s gotten away with being so blatantly fake- remember her on the singing show when she acted so dumb she couldn’t string a sentence
together? Now look at her. It was all fake.. so I wonder what she’s faking now.

JoyBeorge · 28/12/2022 23:08

She used to live up the road from me. Having seen her old house In spite of everything she does have, there just one thing I can assure you that she hasn't got. Taste.

What does it matter if she doesn’t have any taste according to your definition of it?

Perhaps she used to pass your house and think the same of you.

@Didchristmasreallyhappen

Having more than two kids is irresponsible on this planet and an ego trip.

she needs to grow up

Absolutely, all the adoring fans fell for it. She's laughing at their stupidity 😄

Roselilly36 · 29/12/2022 06:23

Good luck to them, no point in being jealous of others, it won’t change your situation. Be happy for them & their family.

MiniHouse · 29/12/2022 06:52

Yes I was jealous and that surprises me. I'm trying for a second in my late 30s and thought wow she has 5 in her early 30s and enough money to have the help you'd ideally need like a nanny and cleaner. And she doesn't have 5 in a 'help me I wish I'd used controception' kind of way but like 'isn't life wonderful, I'm blessed and managing so well' way.

I think I have this feeling not just of missing out but that I missed a trick in terms of life goals. She started early, how did I not get that?? We can be so hard on ourselves

Anyway yes she is lucky, most people cannot afford to raise five kids with help, if at all. And it's set up in a way to make people jealous, like it's all perfect. In reality it must be chaos and that's not for everyone - it's definitely not for me.

It's a life situation and we all have different lives. There is no right or wrong and each has its pros and cons, achievements and it's good and bad times.

LidlCinnamonBun · 29/12/2022 06:55

Missreginafalange · 28/12/2022 23:18

Where did you read that??

Only because I remember seeing on her instagram her dad making one of the massive rooms upstairs in to two for the boys not in a separate building.

If she wants 5 kids thought then that's no one else’s business.

Tattle life probably.

I find it astonishing how adults are brainwashed by nobodies and d-listers on social media. I don’t think it’s the teens who need educating and protecting from social media it’s the adults!

Yeah it's true. I put in my post that I do envy the fact she has lots of kids. But at the same time the way adulta talk about celebrities is odd. Like people think they know them when they dont. They almost worship people who have no parts skill or talent. I think it's because there's no village gossip in our lives. I think it's a way of replacing a lost sense of community.

midsomermurderess · 29/12/2022 07:04

I think it’s a bit sad that your first emotion is envy, and there are now 6 pages of people picking over her.

BowiesJumper · 29/12/2022 07:09

i think she’s a delight.

I can fully see the envy when you want another child and it is proving difficult. Plus big house/lots of money…

Obviously we only see the good bits on Insta, and I’ve never bought anything she’s plugged, but I still enjoy watching her. What’s wrong with that? Some people are being nasty just for the sake of it. Have a bit of positivity people!

GooseberryCinnamonYogurt · 29/12/2022 07:11

My first thought on hearing this was aren't we already an overpopulated country (world) and 5 kids is too much.

Exactly my thoughts

Isabellla · 29/12/2022 07:15

I feel uncomfortable with how much of her children's lives shes puts out there, that's how she makes her money. People on this thread know the layout of her house for god sake, that's not in the kids best interests!

I also remember a picture of one newborn completely naked being put on Instagram which rightfully got deleted after some backlash. The new child will probably also be sadly paraded for content for millions of strangers which just makes me uncomfortable.

Please don't let it get you down op, people only share the picture perfect parts on social media but so much is smoke and mirrors!

@JoyBeorge Is she a nice person?

I wouldn't say JoyBeorge is in a position to judge if SS is a nice person.

boboshmobo · 29/12/2022 07:19

Her house is beautiful and the exact house I'd love and to think she has got it from being herself is pretty amazing ( unbelievable) but I'm not jealous of her keep having babies .

Lampzade · 29/12/2022 07:29

VeronicaFranklin · 28/12/2022 23:49

I think good luck to her, she was a struggling single mum before she got famous and she seems to be making a life for herself and her family, I think she has a wonderful home, not all grey and white like most celebs. I'm not the biggest fan of Joe Swash but they seem happy and I like following her on instagram.

They seem harmless enough. Making their money and looking after their kids
She didn’t have it easy but has succeeded in creating a great life for her kids. Her home is beautiful
She is definitely not dumb

DriftwoodOnTheShore · 29/12/2022 07:50

She's just another pointless celebrity. I'm so tired of the celebration of the vacuous.

Amy Hart is another prime example only famous for being humiliated on a reality show. Now raking it in.

Sparklingbrook · 29/12/2022 07:59

I am a bit Hmm about it being a 'huge surprise' especially after alread having 4 DC Grin

I think she's pretty harmless though-people that are interested follow her and those that aren't don't. Easily avoidable.

LolaSmiles · 29/12/2022 08:12

I enjoyed her decluttering show and think it's good she's got herself a business model that works for her. She's appears happy in her relationship and with her children. It could be entirely fake, or it could be someone being business savvy with which highlights they choose to share. Her house isn't to my taste, but she likes it so it doesn't matter. She probably does certain things for social media because that's her job.

More fool anyone who doesn't realise that these sort of celebrities and content creators are a walking, talking advert, using a carefully curated image to target their followers. She's played it well in my opinion.

WandaWonder · 29/12/2022 08:20

I have no desire to have another child not live in a big house or be in front of the camera, I think good luck to them.

If people don't have enough brain cells to realise what is on camera is not real life, that is their 'job' and there are they are paid for it

I don't get this influencer or 'look at my life doesn't it look perfect on camera' thing but enough people must as they get paid to be followed by people

If people are willing to fall for it, that is not their problem, maybe be jealous of real people and experiences if you must

This. She's under the same management as Claudia Winkleman, Ant and Dec, Phillip Schofield and obviously Joe Swash. Her content is no more real than PS plugging used cars.
