So true. But… last year for World Book Day, my daughter was the only one in her class who wasn’t dressed up as Elsa or another Disney Princess. Lazy or parents not putting their foot down 🤔
Or parents just trying to utilise what they already have at home without going out and buying/creating a new outfit for one day.

Ultra modern bath with an old fashioned sink vanity with warm white marble tiles against brilliant white panelling. Dear fucking god. That bathroom is a mess.

Piss off with the negativity?! 😂😂😂this forum was started on how irritating we find her!! I think your on the wrong page hun... as for the few blankets and a bib that I’m sure she can afford to buy?!? there’s so many others that can’t.. she needs to take a leaf out of Elle from feathering empty nest page and donate any freebies to those who need it, plus em has so many family and friends who I’m sure will spoil the twins...... I mean she’s not as a bad as lil at all but does my head in especially when It came to the Free California trip.. I predict she will be as bad a lucy carter and fopperholic pimping out her twins for freebies.
The revel was cute and so was Evie’s reaction but I think it will all go down hill now #sellmykidsprivacyfordosh
I think the miscarriage brought her crashing down to earth, off her high horse. Up until, then she was off the wall with how entitled and manufactured her feed was. I’m sad it took a miscarriage for her to reevaluate, but if it meant she’s reinvigorated and truly appreciates her life then good for her.
I will side eye all the ads coming though, and I agree that she really should think about giving away free gifts to others for things that she doesn’t need.
I th8nk some of the Huns on here don’t realize you can wish someone well but also see when they’re acting like a prick, that’s not mutually exclusive. And this isn’t a fan club.

That dog gets more comments on these threads than Emma 🤣

Next thread needs a full disclaimer — the dog went to her Mum who’s a dog groomer with a business at home and has been spotted on the sisters stories previously running around with her dog. Emma hasn’t had the dog since she had the twins. (That’s 2 babies in case you didn’t know?) Can’t remember if it was just before or just after they were born. He was quietly passed onto her Mum and never, EVER mentioned again. Except on here 🤣

100%. I get the impression her sister is not excited about her pregnancy?
I just don’t think her sister is as into a ‘big grand reveal’ as Emma is that’s all. Her gender reveal (shudder at the term!) was just a simple story of pink baby grows saying they were having a girl, like what most normal people do when they pop a scan pic onto their social media for example.
No cannons with coloured confetti, no videos, no slow mo vids with music over the top catching people’s reaction....

I actually really like her sister. Just hoping she sticks away from the ads. Just seems a bit more real IMO

I particularly enjoyed the ad today “we have signed up to Tesco blah blah shit subscription service”. BOLLOCKS. Absolute bollocks. You have not signed up. They have paid you to say this and you are getting it for free. Stop making claims that influence poor naive people to buy into a subscription that you do not even buy yourself. I hate it when people dress it up as if they’ve actually chosen it and are buying it.

I know people have made the argument about sharing childrens privacy online in exchange for gifted items and money and the safety and risk around doing that.

For me, it's also about the fact that this is a make believe world. If the app closed down tomorrow, what is your back up? What is your earning stream in the real world? What do you have as a fail safe to ensure the security for you and your family?

Further to this, as a mother to a young daughter myself, do I really want me selling our lives online to be the example she learns? What does this teach our children about ambition and importance in doing a decent days work for your money? Also to know that the influencer role is really selective, not everyone will be a 'chosen' one and make it big. How does that define your self worth?

Theres so many questions morally for me around it that don't sit with my values. How about using your influence to raise awareness on issues instead? It all feels so vapid and dumbed down. All for show.

Of course they had front row seats.
Yet real actual celebs like Gemma Atkinson managed to go with Mia with not an ad in site (I will stand fully corrected if her stories last week were an ad but I really don’t think they were. Biggest GA fan, so many could learn so much from her and her outlook on life and her social media presence)
I’m really disappointed that even going to see Disney On Ice was an ad, especially having forked out £80 (80 whole British pounds in fact) of my own money for their upcoming Scottish date later in the month.

I am just rapidly going off influencers in general. I’m so so sick of this generation of people over sharing for likes and ads and freebies.

She’s probably got it on finance yet makes out she bought it outright. (She may not do this or even have it on finance, but I know ALOT of people that do this!!)
See I have mentioned the car before.
Finance on a car is no biggie to me, or leasing for the 3 years etc before handing back. This seems to be something frowned upon on online forums (not a dig just a general observation over the years!) whereas in real life nearly every person I know does this with their cars. I can count on one hand the number of people I know who own their car outright.
However what I do take the hump with is how expensive that car must be on PCP or PHP, for someone who doesn’t work, has just expanded their household by an additional 2 people, with only 1 of you in a real job. What that level of affordability tells me is that selling your children and life online seems to afford you a lot of expensive stuff and it’s really just not right at all.

Oh bless Evie, all she’s asked for is a purple bedroom and this HUN has shot the idea down because she hates the colour. What a selfish prick. Let your kids be kids and stop making them dress like you and make them think that living in a beige/shit coloured world is ok

Did anyone think Lils stories were a slight dig to Em? She’s talking about Abbie wanting a blue bedroom and they’ve been looking at ideas together.. unlike Em who won’t let Evie have a purple bedroom 🤣
