Binky Felstead

I know she is a champion (as are all women) for giving birth, but it does annoy(?)/concern me that her showing (for the second time) such a calm birth to her followers- many of whom are likely new or expectant mothers and some of whom may have had more stressful labours(!) I hope they know this isn't a typical birth and however it happens doesn't define who you are as a mum.

Conversely when you've got someone like Louise Thompson crying in bathtubs and preening around all day about her birth trauma nearly 2 years on, it's nice to have the balance.

There's enough drama and trauma posts about giving birth out there which also makes expectant mums think thats all that happens. I've been present at quite a few births and they've all been calm like Binky's.

How ridiculous and that birthday outing looked so dry and dull for kids. They don't want to watch fucking polo and have a sit down meal ffs, they want to bounce about full of wotsits and party rings in a dingy church hall walloping each other with balloons.

Just found this thread to echo what everyone is saying. I’ve just unfollowed her after seeing she filmed her and her very ill son for the gram.
Has she sold her soul or soemthing??? This is mortifyingly embarrassing and overall sad.
That poor boy.
Do these people not have any shame??

£3,620.00 for a bag and grifting for a ‘babymoon’
I literally have no more words.

And now looking for 'recommendations ' for a baby moon ie a freebie weekend away .....

What an ugly tacky bag as well

Really disgusting of her not to even acknowledge india or JP in her Father’s Day posts - even on stories. She’s seems very bitter when JP clearly plays a very active role. Wonder how they manage to communicate to co parent.

 

[Fillyjonk]

Oh Christ! I missed the comment. Ugh!

She usually uses that tiny font and difficult to spot positioning for "gifted" or "ad" so she probably just sees him as an another source of free stuff and income.

So Binky has a whole chapter on coparenting and blended families in her new book. I’m dying to know what it says (seeing as she never acknowledges JP is India’s dad)

but also don’t want to buy the book lol

 

[Ro98]

Lol at Binky liking every well done India comment except those saying she takes after her dad with the running. She’s so bitter

 

[Author123]

I’m a bit surprised that there was zero mention of JP being India’s dad today. Maybe I shouldn’t be, but I would just think that it is possible to at least acknowledge an ex still being a good dad alongside the step-dad, and a nice thing to do on Father’s Day. But maybe I’m being a bit naive with that type of thinking/approach!

If we ever think she has it all - remember she has to sleep with the creepy guy for the rest of her life.

I'm the member that Marbles was talking about. I deleted that account after my apology, and hadn't come back on here since, but was curious last night and did. I can't believe it blew up the way it did! I know most people want to move on, and so do I, but after reading all the other comments from her I just wanted to clarify what really happened as I feel she completely misunderstood the situation and did blow it quite a bit out of proportion.

When I saw India, it was a street away from the school, which is the main thoroughfare for all foot and vehicle traffic. It wasn't at the school gate at all, which she kept repeating in every reply she made about it. I had parked my car and was walking to school to pick up my child when I spotted the woman with the buggy and dog walking towards me first, then a child walking quite far behind her. As they got closer and passed by me, that's when I recognised the child as India. I continued down the street, turned the corner, then saw the ice-cream van parked on the street that the school is actually on.

I feel as though her interpretation of it was me at the school gate in large sunglasses, a wig and a trench coat, holding binoculars with the sole purpose of spying on an innocent child to report back all my findings to everyone here and that's not what it was at all. It was just a passing moment while I was on the school run.

I do understand and respect Marbles view that I probably shouldn't have commented at all, and I won't be commenting on anything else I may witness in future, but what I don't understand is her continuously calling my actions vile, as that is a very strong word that I would personally use to describe much worse actions than that.

Anyway, sorry to everyone for bringing this back up again and thanks to those that understood my intentions.

Back to regularly scheduled programming now...

This is obviously bothering you but don’t let it-Binky has plastered India all over SM since she was born-a lot of ‘celebrities’ hide their kids faces but she chooses not to. What’s actually ‘vile’ in all of this is a woman who uses her children at every opportunity for engagement.

 

[Author123]

Imagine having the cash for PT 6 days a week no wonder she’s lost so much weight

Yes- the weight loss is far less impressive when you pay to have someone turn up at your house to beast you for an hour several days a week and pay someone else to look after your kids so that you can do said beasting uninterrupted before having a gifted lunch…

I’d be far more impressed by seeing a working mum with no freebies/discounts/nanny lose her post partum weight.

 

[gummy-bear]

How am I harping on at her? I’m merely responding to her great defenders, nothing to do with her. Perhaps you’re all harping on at me?

I think commenting on any child online is vile, not to mention one you observed at a school gate. It’s such an invasion of thats child privacy.

just to note from what I have observed of The child in binkys posts, she seems very happy and well adjusted which is mostly likely what binky means when she says she’s not prone to tantrums. Not that she doesn’t on occasion have a tantrum due to tiredness etc like every child

I guess we can all agree to disagree, unless you care to harp on at me some more.

You are still harping on though - we know you think it’s vile.. you’ve mentioned it a few times now.

You’re also contradicting yourself - ‘commenting on any child is vile’… to a few words later ‘from what I have observed of the child…’ you’re literally doing the same thing

I personally don’t think it’s ‘vile’ to comment on a kids behaviour that’s been witnessed - I think that the comments Binky received about India and her looks years ago (causing her to take India off social media for a few years) was vile, but I equally think posting photos of her in her underwear, her swimming costumes, playing in her room are also vile - she is 5 years old and can’t consent. Binky has a job to protect her child and fails massively IMO.

People will always comment on celebs that’s part of the parcel of choosing to be one. Binky is clearly not bothered and would rather push her tragic Ok deals and z list lifestyle than protect her children.

 

[Author123]

I can’t fathom having a nanny when you have no job. Why have more kids?!

Because then you can claim you love kids and find parenting easy when really you are there only for the highs and the fun bits.

Someone else deals with the meltdowns/tantrums/sick days/washing/cooking and you can still do all the things you enjoy like having spa treatments and exercising and handing them over to someone else when it doesn’t suit you.

 

[Smurf72]

It's one thing to criticise Binky and her choices, she's put her life out there but I think as adults we should refrain from commenting on children or their behaviour. They have a right to their privacy even if their own parents choose not to respect it.

It's not right, and for a mother in a school to comment online about witnessing a childs behaviour at the school gate is really vile tbh.

I wouldn’t say it’s vile. She’s only commented on the behaviour…it’s not like Binky gives those kids any privacy whatsoever

 

[LittleLen]

Bless her. She needs this after spending all summer abroad with an array of nannies to help.
Can’t even spell grateful either.
Out of all the MIC lot she’s the most irritating-she’s so bloody smug.

Her entire life is working on herself what is she on about. Her day to day seems to consist of a walk in the park, Gail's, child-free gym time for about an hour, lunch with someone or another (but call it a "meeting" to make it work), school pick up, swanning off to some country club or another, then a dinner out.

And the weekends: A gifted stay at some hotel in the countryside

I swear this influencer lot is so out of touch. If I have to listen to another nobody who's entire day consists of them eating "balanced meals" and going to the gym telling everyone you have to just make time for you I'll scream.

Today I woke up at 7am. Managed to brush my teeth and have a wee before I was whisked away on back to back calls, constant emails, messages and fires until 2pm where I FINALLY had 30 minutes to have some breakfast. I imagine that's normal days for most of us mere mortals not on instagram.

Don’t apologise. You commented on what you saw, due to her mums actions. You’re free to say what you want - although I just told you not to apologise!!

 

[Toffeebythesea]

India's feelings were valid. She's a young child. I actually felt really sorry for her watching that video knowing her Mum was making money off it
