All this trigger warning nonsense...we are all adults living in the big bad world who willingly choose to participate in social media where there is very little regulation...
If you follow a female blogger in their 20s/30s there is a good chance they are going to post about and discuss things like pregnancy, babies etc
If anyone is triggered by topics like tbis they should make the choice to stay away from a space like instagram....

Well I don’t know about you guys, but I certainly won’t be buying her stuff. I’ve followed her for a long time and used to really admire her. I’ve even gotten some of her clothes as presents in the past. Like them and all that jazz, but then her lifestyle etc got bigger and bigger. In one way, fair fucks to her! I’d only love to have her money. But gobshites like me buying her stuff or people buying her stuff for me, all contributes to her bank balance.
We have children, while paying rent and trying to save for a mortgage. We are not poor by any means but at the same time I have €20 left out of my wages every week. My husband works so much over time and even has a side line job to enable us to save. I am a lone parent a lot of the time because of his long hours but thankfully have a job that works well with our kids. At the risk of sounding like a

Tuesday

I couldn’t be arsed lining her pockets with my hard earned cash. And there’s a few others on Instagram that I kind of feel the same about. Rosie Connelly has this fabulous house and I’m sure it cost them a lot of money. These fabulous holidays etc etc that we see on certain Instagram pages….
So I just don’t want to be one of the gobshites that fund their lifestyles. I don’t wish any badness and I probably sound like an awful human being, I really am a good person. But this sort of annoys me.

trigger warnings are for people who can’t handle life.

we have a whole generation of people with absolutely no resilience.

I have to say, I unfollowed her yesterday after seeing that flight. It's probably just jealousy if I'm honest. I also have 3 small kids and while we are comfortable enough and will have a holiday this year, I can't relate to first class flights and Dubai holidays of a January. I used to like her but I have to agree, the snapshots of the drink and the food in first class all whilst 'hoping the baby sleeps', was all just showy offy. We've all had a really shit 2 years and I don't need wans like her showing off their wealth. Her clothes are out of reach for a lot of mums of 3 like myself and I'll be honest, it makes me feel like shit. We work really hard too but we'll never have that kind of money so it's an unfollow from me and I've followed her for years.
Look most of us can't relate to first class flights. Look at the haves not the have-nots. You are comfortable financially, have 3 beautiful kids and will have a holiday this year. That's fantastic. Many won't have what you have. Jealousy is a pointless emotion. Remember she has to go to bed with Brian Ormond every night!!

Jesus why does this thread descend into Mumsnet every couple of pages. We’re here for the goss, not to brag about 5 star resorts what all our kids like to do on holidays. I’m nearly missing the HSE guidelines on weaning

Thinking of women going through a similar thing, she should have had a trigger warning on her stories
Maybe she should but at the same time, is there anything she won't get critiqued for? There's no guidelines for what she had done, but she has probably done more help than harm with this

Myself and my friend were discussing the vow renewal thing earlier and she said her first thought whenever she hears of someone renewing their vows is “okay, which one of you cheated”. Not saying that’s the case here, but usually with these over the top declarations of love for one another, there is an attempt to put a band aid over something. Remember Heidi Klum and Seal, they renewed their vows every year and actually behind it all and all the grand gestures of love and public adoration, their relationship was awful. What annoyed me was the day after it, Pippa had something on her story from a follower like “all of the women in Ireland asking their husbands why can’t you do that for me”. Smug much? Speak for yourself Pippa. My vows stand as much today as the day I made them. I don’t need a repeat performance. And I’d choose my partner in every lifetime over creep central Ormond, not everyone needs the over the top display in order to feel loved. Guarantee you if they couldn’t put it on Instagram then they wouldn’t have bothered.

Pippa's stories broke my heart. It was so honest and genuine. She was very brave to open up the conversation.
I had a miscarriage earlier this year and could identify with what she said. We didn't tell anyone. I had major guilt as it wasn't a planned pregnancy and after the initial shock we felt so excited to be adding to our family. I felt guilty for my initial reaction to the pregnancy and I felt so bad for feeling sad when it ended. I already had 3 beautiful children and was trying to think how lucky I was but kept crying. Last night I watched Pippa's story for a second time with my husband and I called my mum and sister and told them about the miscarriage. It was a huge relief. My husband told his brother and best friend. I am sure Pippa helped a lot of people yesterday.

Parties these days in general are gone OTT and it’s all because of social media. In my day you’d be called in for your cake and the table would have a few Rice Krispie buns and the smell of fag ash from your aunties and the chips cremating in the deep fat fryer would be all over the gaff. Pass the parcel if you’re lucky and that game where you take away a chair each time until two people are left to battle it out and someone pressing stop/play on the tape recorder for the music, A chomp bar and stale bun in your party bag and off ya go. But ya know what they were great craic. The good old days. Everything now is just a battle to compete and show off. No kids care about balloon arches and fancy expensive cakes.

This is just a personal opinion and of course won’t be shared by everyone but I much rather watch Pippas insta stories of the nice house and holidays then the likes of FBG stomping around citywest. I don’t buy her clothes and am not a mega fan but the content is at least nice to look at.

Well she has a massive following which i imagine are mostly women, many of whom struggle to have a baby, her bump every day must be very triggering. Take all the photos she likes just stop giving everyone the daily/ hourly reminder she's pregnant.
Well then THEY need to unfollow/mute her. She had her own struggles to get pregnant and shared it, with very raw emotions and said herself she had to mute people when she was sad because it wasn't good for her she didn't say oh they shouldn't be sharing.

One of my many miscarriages 2 friends were pregnant and we'd all have been due at same time. I had to mute their content till I was ok with it. It wasn't for them to hide their happiness because I was struggling..

I dont follow Pippa, she doesnt appeal to me, but came across her page yesterday for first time in a long time. Good lord, she has destroyed herself, and its emanating from the inside out. And her content is so vacuous. Theres no happiness or joy in her eyes, i genuinely. Wouldnt have the stomach to go looking at it again as its actually very sad.
Would you get a grip! She has a lovely life. 2 beautiful chidren and another on the way. A fab house with plenty of money. Nothing "sad" about it!
Such a silly post.

If Pippa came on her story eating a newborn baby someone would come on here saying I do that all the time, what’s the big deal. They taste amazing and are so good for you 😂😂😂 put on your Poco jumper, light your Poco candle & write a love letter to Pippa in your Poco journal 😂😂

It’s so vulgar. I think my new years resolution is to stop following people whose ideals I disagree with and who make me feel like shite. They literally have everything but it never feels enough for them… it’s actually sad in a way..my own life isn’t in any way improved by following these people so im going to focus on myself my own family & friends from now on
