mother of daughters : Most liked Posts

She locked him in a room so she could get on with her work without him asking to pose with the spray paint gun for a photo every 5 minutes.

side note: how annoying is influencers referring to instagram as 'these squares'

Sorry if this has already been posted - I've just joined after getting engrossed in the whole saga - but surely a comment like this is the nail in the coffin for future sponsorship deals.

But why the fuck is Ronan following him?!

Maybe Ronan's lurking here. Could be any of us. Could be me. Who knows, life is a rollercoaster.

I think most people have been there, and theres a vulnerability about being a new mum which is why they target them. I can't say I've been influenced to buy via Instagram to buy big things but I can see how people have. Sitting up at 2am wondering if a sleepy head will get you a bit more sleep. Having a colicky baby who screams most of the evening and wondering if 'that' bottle will cure it. Feeling shit about yourself and thinking someone looks great in that £40 sweatshirt so wondering if it would make you look great too. A lot of new mums will try anything to make their life easier whether its hinch's ebay caddy or a cybex car seat. The vulnerability stretches into you don't want to feel like your baby doesn't have the best of the best, so £1000 on a credit card for a pram. Someones using childs farm 'and it really is the best!' so you feel like your child should have this miracle bubble bath. It goes on and on. If you've got PND or post natal anxiety alongside it it can be magnified.

So I don't think anyone should be ashamed. The influencing is ruthless and reaches people 24hrs a day, theres no escape and why it works so well. The people shoving it down our throats should feel ashamed, but they would rather make 5p from your swipe up for something that is useless/ unsafe/ will break in a week than care about how you feel.

My husband is 46 and looks younger than him. But then again we don’t have the stresses of being one better than everybody else all the time.

My husband is 53 and looks like shit, but at least he’s not a twat like Slymon

I’m new here and only came to see what MOD had commented on. I met both of them at Bestival this summer. I loved MOD because I’d just had a baby and found FOD so funny and lighthearted. What I will say is she’s a twat. Very self involved far too important to talk to me properly. DLAM was there too and again just the same. Both far too important. However FOD was so lovely, interested in talking and asked about my baby who was with me and the eldest kids were there and so lovely too- he seem very genuinely shocked at how his profile had taken off and how his life path of media had run. I’m quite good at seeing BS but honestly he seemed genuine. Unlike her. She can’t hide it and was not at all humbled. The eldest kids were very used to the people coming up to them and seemed to enjoy the exposure it had got them. They also had a thousand nannies looking after the kids so I felt very fobbed with their post on how to survive a festival and they didn’t ever mention they’d have nannies.

People like this always come out on top so give it a few months and all will be forgotten and she’ll be back to normal and all will be ok.

I'm starting to get a little confused by the steadiness of the decline in followers. Hundreds are unfollowing daily, even on days when he does not post. For example, almost 300 unfollowed on 6th January, when he hadn't posted for a week and this would have been the first day back at work/school for a lot of people (so I wouldn't have thought a big day for people doing an instagram cull when they've already had the holidays). What was tipping people over the edge about FOD on that day? Is it possible that some of it is attributable to instagram cleaning out bots and fake accounts?

Possibly. And maybe some of the none UK “Where’s Clemmie?” followers have googled her and found out what happened and now realise they’ve been sold a lie.

There’s a great come back idea. A series of “Where’s Clemmie?” books where you have to search the scene, a festival, a cool east London bar, busy aligning herself with celebrities, or just having some well deserved “me time“. You have to find old school “Mother” sweatshirt and fringe MOD and then fringe in clip, an ill fitting smock dress and an ugly boot MOD. Extra points it you can find FOD trying to electrocute himself with fairy lights all for the LOL’s.

Chanandler Bong, your content’s all wrong!

There’s my terrible submission haha

It’s so over for them. It looks like they decided to finally stop showing the kids faces and they have nothing without that. Dancing with Christmas lights on and perving on cheerleaders won’t bring on the big old #ad revenues. It’s just a matter of time for him to decide how long can he loose his dignity for trying to hang in there. It’s so funny because I’m going back to work from maternity leave soon and I’m feeling much better this time around. Last maternity leave I felt like a failure following these instamums, like my life was shite not having my own house, the holidays and the time or money to go out with my fabulous friends. Now 2 years later I feel grand knowing this was all fake and free so of course I couldn’t afford it and also that my kids are safe from the internet and that our “normal” life is the best thing you can offer them. Thank you Tattle for the eye opener and thank you the OD for your wonderful self sabotage skills !

I think I saw him riding his bike.....

MOD "i've majorly fucked up, it can't get any worse!" FOD hold my drink"

I think she should just own it. Come back in full-on Alice persona, flicking Vs at everyone and calling them all cunts. She knows all the insider secrets - surely she could just take them all down with her and shoot the insta-bubble to all hell. I would definitely re-follow.

Hello everyone, I’m de lurking to say it was me who told him to educate himself about feminism.
I wanted to tell him I wouldn’t DM him and any discussion could happen in the grid but curiosity got the better of me so I did DM him. I just said what do you want to discuss or something and was going to telling him to do his own research. Anyway, guess what? He didn’t reply. Clearly just wrote that to make it look like he gave a shit, even though it came across as shitty behaviour to anyone with a brain.
So thought you lot would be interested in the gossip.

I’ll start to accept Simon as a mental health advocate when he starts to consider the mental health of his daughters. Being a preteen and having every aspect of your life broadcast to strangers on the internet is not conducive to an healthy mind.

It'll be the first reno in history where the Before looks much better than the After.

Hello also long time lurker and this thread gives me life. Although I do feel guilt about the bitchier aspects it feels really good to know I'm not the only one to feel this way. So thankyou.
I'm choosing to comment now because of kirkvanhouten's comments about wanting to be a midwife. Sorry this is a long one - bear with me...
I'm a midwife and that is how I came to know of Clemmie. I've been following her life with fascination for seven years now! Since my eldest was a baby and I was on maternity leave. I was desperate for a mum role model and in Clemmie I thought I'd found it. This was pre insta
She had an amazing job as a community midwife, she had two beautiful children and she was gorgeous, cool, had lovely things, a lovely husband. She wrote this great blog called Gas and Air. She seemed really passionate about midwifery. Even back then before instafame she seemed to have i all. And loads of holidays even then! I had a girl crush and I was jealous I guess. A lot of us were jealous if we were to admit it.
But as time went on I became more and more disillusioned with her.
A couple of times I messaged her to ask if she'd use her platform to talk about really important things that were happening in midwifery. Minimal publicity had been given to these issues and here she had this great platform to spread the word. She was polite enough and replied but chose not to say anything at all. Just talked about her clothes or something completely superficial instead.
I bought her book and it was such tripe. Really badly written. Not evidence based. Terrible 'advice' about breastfeeding. Just promoting her insta mates. And telling women to buy a leather jacket to help them adjust to motherhood. Please!
The thing that really did it for me was a post about maternal mental health. As a midwife she will know about puerperal psychosis, crippling PND where women commit suicide and/or kill their babies and women suffering PTSD and trauma. But Clemmie spoke about a basket she had been gifted to collect the crap on the stairs #maternal mental health. And as for that superdrug collab...
Being a midwife does not make you a saint. It's a job. A profession. You get paid for it. Her making out that it is somehow saintly is crap and actually insulting to midwives.
There are tons of people who are really passionate and have amazing stuff to say about birth and motherhood so please don't let Clemmie be the only voice of midwifery.
There are also tons of midwives who work their asses off - night shifts, weekends, missing christmas, kids birthdays and don't get this praise.
When she left insta I had admiration for her. Finally I thought - she will appreciate her life. Gorgeous healthy kids, 'great relationship' with her husband, supportive family, house, job she loves. But she couldn't stay away.
And now I see that she is caught in a trap. They are used to the money, a life style to maintain. Private schools for the kids. A brand. But more than anything the adulation, the praise, the fame. That is truly addictive. A day to day life of long NHS shifts, not getting paid much. Looking after 4 kids. No glamourous parties and presents and money rolling in. No endless praise from literally hundreds of thousands of people. How can she go back to that?
She is a very pretty girl with good taste who was in the right place at the right time. She made friends with women who had connections - other instamums. She has had money and gifts literally thrown at her. And instagram is new - it is an experiment.
Everything has a price. And sadly I think the Hoopers have sold their souls to the devil. For the price of their holidays, house, dishwashers, trainers. They have exchanged their children's privacy, their mental health, possibly their marriage. And sicko that I am I take a morbid fascination in watching it all like a car crash.
I'll probably get shot down in flames for saying this but I do feel sorry for Clemmie because I think that she is probably a lovely person and a great midwife. The fact the no one has come out of the woodwork to complain about her care or a poor outcome is a bloody miracle in someone who has been a midwife that long.

So firstly thanks to whomever got my account blocked just because i didnt agree with them and secondly ive had a look at Alices posts and i dont see what the big bloody deal is! And i honestly think i would do the same if i felt i needed to defend my family from crap people were saying!! I bet LOADS of people have fake accounts so they can say things they wouldnt have the balls to say to someone as themselves (not anonymously)

A few points- she started her account to slag off Cash Carraway NOT defend her family. What most Tattlers were commenting on were the exploitation of her children and the lack of ad disclosure- hardly tearing her family to shreds. At NO point did she have to throw her friends REAL LIFE FRIENDS under the bus whilst preaching kindness to women and calling us all trolls. Her behaviour is totally indefensible.
