Hey you bunch of bastards...
some may remember we were expecting our third baby (clearly haven’t taken Rebs sound advice on that one)
Well she is here, she is perfect and she is everything we ever dreamed of. She is our rainbow and our little lockdown baby
I can see Rebecca and Lee are just as immature as ever. Playing at house. ruining their kids childhoods by sharing inappropriate images and videos, never being “present” in their life always playing up for the gram or YouTube. Not training that dog correctly we can see how this is going to end, in utter tragedy.
Do they even know what's going on in the real world? Do they care? Are they doing anything of value?
their existence is so incredibly sad. I feel for their kids and their dog.
sending all my love to you bunch of bastards, I hope you are all keeping safe holding, your families close, respecting our key workers by doing as we’re told (cough Rebecca) and most importantly staying sane and happy

I have always loved your way with words Betty
On earlier MrsM threads under my old ID G&TGal some of you may remember my incandescent rants about child protection issues, images being captured within seconds of them being put online and the potential for sexual predators with a predilection for pre-pubescent children to access a phenomenal amount of information about each of the Meldrum children.
In my opinion Rebecca and Lee have facilitated this over the years allowing their 'stuff you' attitude to those they see as trolls to override any normal parental protective instincts. Selling births for money, intruding into what should be their girls private and personal safe space - their bedrooms, and of course Lee putting a black and white seductive filter over two of his girls pouting and fluttering their eyelashes which was a paedophiles wet-dream.
I had a look at Buymeacoffee and it seems to me to be a cross between a sales site for creatives and a GoFundMe where some social enterprises can showcase their work in the community and inspire. Rebecca does not know who is sending her £6 a month nor does she care as long as she is getting the money. Arguably it is no more secure than a public Instagram page as she has storied that it you want to get 'more' then you can...by paying for it. @Eglo has confirmed that Poppy is featured with full image available so that confirms that Rebecca has now 'sold' access to images of her children and no one is naive enough to think that Rebecca and Lee know all the subscribers so how can they be the 'close friends' she was so keen to invite to join her 'fan page'.
To Lee, Rebecca, Karen and any other family members reading Tattle, here are the facts;
Identity Theft - you need three basic details; full name, date of birth and address. An 2018 online security study by Barclays projects that by 2030 sharenting could account for up to seven million incidents of identity theft costing £667million per year. The study described sharenting as the ‘weakest link’ in risking online fraud and identity theft and said sharenting compromised children’s future financial security. But Rebecca and Lee only care about their own finances, not their children's future !
Images - Russian child porn sites, there are thousands of sites with many holding over 200,000 images. All those cute images of children dancing, running through water in their swimsuits, in the bathtub ...captured in seconds off instagram and manipulated to appeal to the particular fetish of a specific site and sold on. Oh wait ... you are now selling access to photos of your own children , my bad !
An investigation last year revealed just how big the problem of child safety is on sites like Instagram, as predators lurk over parenting accounts featuring images of kids. During just one month in lockdown the Internet Watch Foundation blocked at least 8.8 million attempts by UK internet users to access videos and images of children suffering sexual abuse. Those images can be composed of the head of one child seamlessly photoshopped onto the body of another. Photogenic little girls can very easily be merged with some horrific abuse to normalise it.
Also seemingly innocent images in the hands of a perverted mind can be distorted to induce arousal in voyeurs. One such recent case was an Instagram account with over 17,000 captured or stolen images of pre-pubescent girls with suggestive captions and strategically imposed emojis. One child sitting eating an ice cream with her legs fractionally apart had a caption ' just open a little wider' strategically placed. The thought of someone potentially jerking off over a captured image of your child would repulse nearly every parent.
Personal Identity - A prominent America Lawyer who was a state prosecutor in Child Protection states that when parents share their children online "with each disclosure we make about our kids online (whether positive or negative) we are taking away the child's ability to narrate their life on their own terms"
Internet history - google your children Rebecca and hang your head in shame. Everyone in school peer group, future Uni friends, employers, work colleagues have instant access to a phenomenally large digital footprint you alone have created. You cry troll and bully when people call you out for your behaviour, and yet you have set your children up with the perfect storm of material that can be used against them in the future.
Claire Bessant has written some excellent papers about the dangers of 'sharenting' and the potential damage to the children. It raises interesting questions about the balance between profit motives and protecting the child and I'm afraid in my opinion Rebecca and Lee Meldrum are firmly on the side of profit.

Just had to unfollow Rebecca after years of following her. I can’t stand posts like this. I know that it is jealousy on my part, I HATE having to work full time so that’s where it stems from I think. I just can’t imagine sending my youngest off to nursery and then going to meet my friends for coffee because I didn’t have a job to go to (what I would give to spend even just a morning with my youngest) I know it’s controversial because being a SAHM is way harder than going to work, so a break for coffee with friends is not wrong in any way. I’m just so jealous that my days are rushed school runs and long commutes to work every day, and still skint. I know that’s not Rebeccas fault. She’s just very lucky. But seeing posts like this makes me realise that we are now worlds apart. I cannot relate to her at all. In fact I am unfollowing most on my feed because it’s just full of people younger than me getting new kitchens and having house renovations and buying expensive puppies to walk during their lovely days at home. Also all of these clothing ads are driving me insane! It’s constant.
Can anyone recommend some good real life accounts that are relatable and inspiring, that don’t do ads? Sorry for long post, just needed to vent

cornish pasties I think....
something they’ve advertised,
on insta with Lee,
something I’ve begged for on insta,
holding a hot cup of tea,
something thats gifted,
that I haven’t sold on.
something I’ve pretended to purchase,
even though it’s a cheeky spon...
Right on top of that rose

The end of that vlog, Lee puffing that he is so lucky he has landed with a great crew, there’s usually one or two wankers etc but there’s none there.
Lee. I hate to be the one to break it to you. But have you considered that maybe you haven’t met the token wanker in the crew, because you are the token wanker? Just a thought

My god she looks like joey from friends with the Porsche merch
Earlier today I was in a zoom meeting with some friends / business colleagues / fellow volunteers and after our meeting ended we stayed around for a general chat. We touched on how our respective businesses and organisations were moving forward and the difficulties many will face regarding adaptation of workplaces in older buildings, phasing the return of staff to accommodate their continuing childcare needs and given the financial uncertainty many families are facing, whether a couple of the more 'luxury' businesses would survive.
I have permission to share the conversation but cannot identify the business incase either of the directors of Mrs Meldrum Limited decide to dox / harass
This Scottish business is concerned in high end bespoke jewellery and rely on word of mouth recommendation as each commission is unique to the client and images of those commissions are never used for advertising as they feel that those images belong solely to the client. They also make several pieces each year which are donated to charities close to their hearts for fundraising purposes. In times of recession / financial hardship, luxury items are the first to go, so as a company they had considered (amongst other options) approaching a Scottish influencer and offer them the opportunity to work on a project over a period of a few weeks documenting the process of a client collaborating in the design of a piece of jewellery, choosing stones, metal to be used, through to manufacture of the final piece(s). I use the plural as they had thought that small inexpensive pieces could have been made in silver with gold detail for the girls and a significant piece of jewellery for the 'influencer' which they would have been able to keep. The fee to the influencer would have been small as the final piece of diamond set jewellery could have had a retail value of several thousand pounds. The project would have showcased their work and that a commission could be as small or as large as you want it to be but personal and unique.
Mrs Meldrum had been mentioned to them as an influencer in this area with a large following as well as couple of others, so a few family members and friends of the business either followed or checked in on the instagram accounts to gauge engagement / content etc and feedback their views. On one post someone had left a comment to Rebecca, not disagreeing with her but putting across a point of view to which Rebecca replied. The comment was liked by several people, one of which was one of the family members, as it related to something she is passionate about and the following day when going on to check what was new on Instagram she found that Rebecca had blocked her. This person had never commented but had 'liked' a couple of Rebecca's posts she had put up previously and this one comment, which resulted in being blocked. No engagement, just blocked.
Following on from this, the company decided to look into the online presence of Rebecca further, and of course Lees account and decided that to be associated with them could only harm their business. I listened quietly to the conversation today and 'smug' 'brash' 'entitled' 'uneducated' 'childish' and 'exploitative of their children' were all terms used to describe the Meldrums and their accounts. All these descriptive terms totally at odds with the ethos of the company that were looking to potentially collaborate with them.
A decision has been made that they will instead put that budget towards making and donating five pieces of jewellery for charitable purposes and those charities today were identified and contacted.
In so many of the threads on here, we read about or discuss brands and products that Rebecca or Lee have promoted / advertised / affiliate linked and the fallout / tantrums when sometimes they make a complete balls up through ill thought out posts, inconsistent information and inappropriate behaviour such as the two finger, middle finger, no f*cks given attitude. What we do not know about are those companies and individuals who do their research and decide against even making contact. Rebecca rails about the 'trolls' 'losers' and 'jealous' individuals who have caused contracts to potentially be ended prematurely but does she ever think about the business she has never gained because of her attitude, poor judgement and behaviour. This is the second 'bespoke' collaboration that I know of that did not proceed any further than the investigative stage, surely there must be dozens more.

Mate, you need to get on these links then. You’re doing it all wrong. Are you even a gym member if you’re not worried about the fact that you can tie the open back of the floaty gym top? Or if your bra looks good out of the top of what you’re wearing? Betty, my friend, my fellow bastard, you need to change your way of thinking. The gym isn’t about getting sweaty, nor is it about working out... it’s about making sure you always look so so tiny. C’mon for fucks sake. Get with the programme.

READ THE FEKIN ROOM REBECCA!!!!! I’ve just come in from a 13 hour shift caring for elderly people, today I have made someone a spam sandwich for tea as that’s all he had in the house, I’ve sat and held an old lady’s hand as she cried about missing her family, I’ve reassured a lady with dementia that she won’t be put in a home and finally I’ve had to get the police to smash down the door of an 85 year old who I couldn’t get hold of to find her seriously ill and needing urgent medical care and now I’m looking at that stupid woman’s smug face over a free bloody pastry! Get your head out of your ass and do something for your community you selfish self centred waste of space, your such an awful role model to those girls!
