What?! Homeschool can’t be 34, surely?

I feel the same about her husband, he makes me very uncomfortable.

BangingOn · 21/07/2019 07:34

According to her LinkedIn profile she sat her GCSEs in 1993 so she will be early 40s.

Tupperwarelid · 21/07/2019 08:00

I think it’s Castle’s bff that was 34 yesterday.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 21/07/2019 08:21

No, not Homeschool , Tupperwarelid's right ... Castle's BFF.

That means she must have still been in her 20s when I stumbled across her on these threads. I honestly thought she was "an older mum" when she had the twins

BangingOn · 21/07/2019 09:25

Ah that makes more sense.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 21/07/2019 15:52

According to Yawn, she is "one of the most successful people within (sic) network marketing". Baaahaahaahaaha!

gotmychocolateimgood · 21/07/2019 15:56

Pffft! No bonus cheque though though, Yawn!

JasperRising · 21/07/2019 17:32

@Jayblue not come across Kyanite Evolution before. My first thought like yours was door to door sales. Sounds a bit like the door to door charity people who are actually employed to recruit for whichever charity is paying the company that week. I'm not sure how it could be turned into an MLM when they are representing multiple customers.

Don't think it is a job I would want to do though - I'm always sceptical how much commission you can make doing face to face sales unless you are really good at sales (though I guess companies must think it worth it for the model to exist)

I can’t help but feel sorry for nursebot, unlike Yawn and castle who have a natural ability to “work” the mlm game poor nursebot like many many before her just look awkward and desperate. I really truly want her to have a nice life with her little boy I hope she doesn’t waste too much time and money in this fruitless venture, I don’t blame her for wanting more and this is exactly the type of person they prey on it’s awful

Spongebobette · 21/07/2019 19:26

Nursebot’s daily memes are a very good indication of how she is feeling underneath

Spongebobette · 21/07/2019 19:55

If Castle checks in on these threads (and I think she and her minions do), I would like to encourage her to think very seriously about the way she is using her son in her social media; everything is public and he is often 'featured' in attraction marketing type videos
He is very sweet and I'm sure his parents love him very much, but his image is out there for the whole world to see and he has not given consent. It's all very well for the adults to expose details of their life; they know what they are doing, but a child has no idea that those photos and videos are now public property for ever.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 21/07/2019 19:57

Nurse is working hard to suppress whatever rational part left of her mind that is screaming that it isn't working and she'd be better off pulling the plug before she throws in more good money after bad.

Yawn's homily about being successful because she "NEVER QUIT" is entirely aimed at reinforcing this suppression.

Spongebobette · 21/07/2019 20:49

Yes, Yawn is careful to reinforce that message regularly; you only lose if you quit etc etc

peacypops · 21/07/2019 22:02

Totally agree about open fb profiles with videos/pics of their children on. One family member has recently uploaded a video of a school assembly. There are a lot of kids on it whose parents have obviously not given consent to have it shared online on a fully open profile. It's totally out of order and irresponsible. Our school tell us at every school event not to share images of other children on social media and I am sure it is the same with other schools.

Whiterangey · 22/07/2019 01:15

You have to put your child out there to get the views, to show potential victims, and those you have already ensnared, that their child or children could live a life like that as well.

It's all about attraction marketing an ensnaring victims, nothing else matters.

Jigsawpuzzle · 22/07/2019 07:37

I’ve expressed concern before about them USING children. I hope it doesn’t take a tragedy for them to sit up and take notice.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 22/07/2019 07:52

Using the children is also, I think, to instill guilt in their downline and potential recruits .... "Look at my child, aren't they wonderful, don't they just have the best life?..... if you work hard you won't let your children down like you do now ."

On a safety aspect why oh why do they always show them in clearly identifiable school uniform? (OK, I realise that it's usually to show off that they can afford private school but FFS, it's one of the basics of internet safety where children are concerned)

9dartfinish2nd · 22/07/2019 09:53

The standard hun post that boils my piss is the "Oh No, my little (Insert name here) is poorly today and i'm so grateful I don't have to ask a boss for time off in order to look after them" Usually accompanied by picture of said kid with a bemused WTF look on their face.
Using your kids illnesses for attraction marketing, absolutley vile.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 22/07/2019 10:12

Not to mention the frequency of illness amongst said children despite being force fed expensive aloe gloop every day Hmm

Jigsawpuzzle · 22/07/2019 10:46

How many non cheques will it take before Yawn gets the message and the other bots with no/low cheques?
Has Yawn left the deaf community in limbo?
Why is Castles parents still around when they were going to bucket list?
How is Uber’s sons fundraising going?
So many questions.Are the answers in a parallel universe?????

My guess is that the caravan lodge is the parents new home. Talk about downsizing!!

It will be on one of those parks where you can only occupy it for 11 months of the year, so for the other month they'll be at their children's houses.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 22/07/2019 13:17

"🎼 There's a hole in my bucket (list)..."

Whiterangey · 22/07/2019 13:47

I don't think it is the parents new home. Castle has spoken recently about turning her garage into a home for her parents.
