Wonder why she doesn't get any backlash on here about her ss not being very involved?
I might be wrong but to me it seems like he isn't present for much..
They're in Turkey atm and I don't think he's there, now if someone was to post on here about how they want to go on holiday with just her kids and not dsc they would get absolutely ripped to pieces, am I wrong?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Set a reminder

SequinsandStiIettos · 15/08/2023 20:23

I'm not even joking...my DD appears in very few unless taking a selfie, because she is brilliant behind the lens. If ss is behind the camera then he is involved, without going against his mum's wishes.

@makesmewonder

why do you feel sad? You don’t even know this child and family !

MolkosTeenageAngst · 15/08/2023 20:29

I have a friend who has 3 children, eldest is 15 and from a previous marriage. The younger two are lower primary school age. On her Instagram you would think she only had the younger 2 girls because she never posts the older one, but that’s because he doesn’t want to be posted on Instagram. He goes on holiday and days out with them but is never in her posts/ stories so anybody who didn’t know her well wouldn’t know that. Of course she still takes photos with him in but doesn’t publish them on social media.

Teenagers are old enough to make their own decisions, if the SS wanted to be in the photos I’m sure he would be. The photos Stacey Solomon posts on Instagram will be taken specifically to take on Instagram, if he’s on holiday with them and doesn’t want to be featured he can avoid those photos but it doesn’t mean he isn’t with them or that they haven’t taken photos they won’t be sharing publicly with him in.

My teenagers don't want to be on my social media and I respect that. And my 16 year old son doesn't share pictures of himself on his own social media either.

I applaud this kids mum for protecting his privacy. I actually feel sorry for the exploited kids who are in loads of photos.

I also don't get the link you're trying to make. Why would people post on here to criticise Stacy Solomon? They can do that on tattle

GoodChat · 15/08/2023 20:36

@BananaSlug there's a huge difference between being on your own social media account you can manage that being posted on an account with tens of thousands of followers you have no control over

yogasaurus · 15/08/2023 20:37

It’s the dad’s issue, if anything.

Nothing to do with her

My main point was though, is joe's son/Stacey's ss on this holiday ? That is what I mean, if I was to post saying I'm going on a 10 day holiday without my sc I would get ripped to shreds by people.
Has he been asked to step out of every family picture that's been taken and posted ? Because that would be pretty hurtful to ss I'm sure !!

I’m on a 10 day holiday without my SC right now.

Nothing to see here.

Who cares what she is doing, what’s it to do with you?

I just think it's sad for ss that's all that he's not included in the family pictures that's posted, like he's not even there

Show quote history

But he IS included. Just not in the ones that are posted online. Why is it so difficult to understand that online is NOT reality?

WhatAPalaverer · 15/08/2023 20:56

He wasn’t there- he was posting his own photos from elsewhere! I have no issue with her or Joe not posting pics of him. But it’s shit that he isn’t included at all in “whole family” pics/posts/comments. They don’t have to show his face to include him or at least acknowledge that he isn’t with them so it isn’t the “whole family”.

Cloudsandrainnotsunandsand · 15/08/2023 21:00

Yabu.
Stacey is a good egg imo.

Floofydawg · 15/08/2023 22:23

Bloody hell have you really got that little going on in your life?

Hiddenvoice · 15/08/2023 22:26

My friend has a ss and they recently went on a family holiday- my friend, her dp, his son and their baby. She posted a couple on social media but they were just of her and him and their baby. The ss mum is happy with family holidays but doesn’t want her son posted on my friends social media and that’s understandable.

No one knows the situation I guess but she may be following the mums wishes of not having her son posted on such a public profile.

makesmewonder · 15/08/2023 19:31

@Motnight does anyone on here know the sc that they claim are second best to dads new family ?
Come on stop picking fights, the double standards on this site is shocking

Op you started this thread specifically to criticise SS. Yet I'm picking a fight?!

Dolly567 · 15/08/2023 22:32

I wouldn't be sharing my SS if I had one either, not my place

SleeplessInCity · 15/08/2023 22:36

EmilyMay89 · 15/08/2023 19:13

I saw something about her saying there were 8 of them on holiday so I think her step son was there just not in the pictures respecting his mum's and potentially his wish to not be in the public eye

Think the 8th person was actually Stacey’s dad

determinedtomakethiswork · 15/08/2023 22:38

Oh for God sake, mind your own bloody business and find yourself a hobby. It's pretty obvious Stacey is lovely and she's not excluding her stepson from anything.
