Carly Rowena

So apparently you can sleep train a baby aged just 3 weeks

 

[Dogleggedhat]

It’s like she’s a wee girl jumping up and down waving and shouting ‘I have sex look at me look at me,I use sex toys,I say the word orgasm’. So does a lot of the population but we don’t need to bring it up all the time. I’m all for sex talk and that’s fine,but she brings absolutely nothing of use to the table when she references it. There are some great influencers providing really useful/interesting info around sex and masturbation etc and I think that’s great,she just gives me second hand embarrassment when she does it.

Would she stop with patronisingly telling people when they have had a bad day just to go out in the sun, ffs! And today - a whole day doing what she wants....she deserves it because her child had a tantrum Get a fucking grip of yourself! imagine if she had an actual job and lived in the real world, how would she cope!

Urgh! I mentioned this a while back but I remember when I was following her and I was going through a really hard time and she did a video on how to be happy and it was buy yourself some flowers to brighten up your day. So patronising and at that point a bunch of flowers really wasn’t going to cut it. I cannot stand to watch/listen to her smug face

 

[flappy_ears]

To make it worse she’s just posted about vibrators, in the middle of all her posts about her sick child. I have no words.

She's got no shame at all. Talking about grief (for someone whose not even dead) one minute, and talking about vibrators the next. It's sickening.

 

[YoungHollywood]

She needs to get a tripod or whatever else these “influencers” use to film themselves and their large egos - her ridiculously long straight arm has always bothered me

Her latest Instagram reel/post of “What we eat in a day” irked me so much. I hate this “Are you really hungry? Would you eat an apple?” rhetoric.

“If you’re still wanting to snack after your drink & are happy to eat the apple then you’re most likely hungry so go eat!” Ridiculous. This thinking is rooted in diet culture. Sometimes I have stomach rumbling, full body hunger but I don’t want to eat an apple. There’s a difference between stomach and mouth hunger (physical vs mental satiety) and I’m sure I can’t be alone in thinking this!
Also, there is a significant lack of carbs in some of those meals. I feel like a lot of her posts have a low-key (poorly hidden) restrictive tone to them, sprinkled with a bit of toxic positivity.

Her content is so contrived, she really is one of the worst out there. As IF that post was trying to remove any “food group guilt”, how horribly patronising it is! Her day must top barely 1200 calories from what she showed....well, at least she managed to show everyone that her daughter eats sea bass

 

[blossombloss]

I cannot stand her constant narcissistic Q&A's where people just ask things and she tells us all about her life and thoughts. she does them so frequently as well, so annoying.

 

[Dogleggedhat]

I had to delete her off insta, her arm in all her stories... I couldn’t see past it and listen to what crap she was saying in that silly voice...

Yes the arm thing drives me mad I know it’s only a small thing but it’s so annoying! I really don’t know what I think of Carly,I think she comes across as quite sweet and I know she had terrible relationships in the past so it’s lovely to see how happy her and Leon are together but there’s something that comes across a bit know it all-ish or smug perhaps? I can’t quite put my finger on it

 

[openbook1]

Same! Cannot stand Leon either. I don’t mind John Chapman from The Lean Machines (he seems normal) but Leon and his stupid hats and handle bar moustache and general ‘I’m so cool and whacky’ attitude makes me cringe hard.

And her shouting/car dancing etc. is all for attention to show us all how crazy and care free she is on top of being wife/ mother/ relationship/ sex expert of the year

Leon comes across as cocky pompous asshole.

 

[windowlickinggood]

I shared a screenshot of her house on Rightmove but with the address, postcode etc blocked out. And after they had moved out. SHE was the one who shared a link to the listing on her stories……

 

[S1920]

She is VERY self-obsessed/absorbed/indulgent isn't she - from reading her posts!

 

[Bubble12]

Saw her out running, we did a similar route this morning. Imagine posting a video of you running some scenic route making it look like she’s elsewhere and it’s actually norwich, that video is not from today at all. My Strava map for reference.

 

[Dogleggedhat]

What the fuck did I just witness with that dancing video? Awful!!!! The second hand embarrassment is real. My baby is a few months younger than Jax and I am sick of hearing her spout on about what she wants to show her daughter about strong women and being a working mum etc. Fuck off with that shit, as if we all aren’t trying to be a good influence on our kids, we just don’t all have the money/freebies to travel every five minutes. I get pissed off by the implication that these influencers are doing parenting better than the rest of us-I could pick Jax out from a lineup but no internet stranger could do the same with my daughter,and that is worth more to me than a fold down seat on a plane.

her smugness just pisses me off,I used to like her but she is so annoying since she had a kid. I do like Leon,but he and John Chapman show their babies too much for my taste (although I think Johns little girl is an absolute cutie!)

 

[volvo]

She talks such bollocks.

“Even though I’ve spent £100k and am clearly still not happy, here’s how you can be just like me; just sign up for £100 a month”

 

[Slimem]

So one moment it's.. don't rush to get your body back, embrace postpartum then in the next breath she's working out and has been since he was a day old?!

Yeah that irked me too. I also just felt sorry for her. Imagine your whole life is based on your body image in an imaginary world created through an app and so you’re doing an ab workout when your baby is a day old. Have a day off love.

 

[Sassyvic23]

She already said in one of her stories they probably won't be staying there long term. But shouldn't they have learnt Spanish a bit better before moving with young children? Irresponsible on adults part. They were planning it for a year at least, language would be one of the first thing I'd worry about

 

[Slimem]

Anyone who films themselves crying and posts it on the internet- NOPE.

 

[YoungHollywood]

Oddly enough she should be teaching her daughter to say vulva, but I'll forgive her because we've all been taught wrong.
I was shocked to find out they pay Leon's mum to come and clean for them? I don't know why but it makes me feel uneasy, but if it works for them, it works for them.

She mentioned as well her mother in law gets to “spend more time with Jax” while she cleans and they then work...willing to bet the cleaning is just a cover so they have been able to have her round tbh.

This reply on her Q&A

 

[Slimem]

I can’t believe her ‘retreat’ is £80. I wouldn’t even call it a retreat. It’s £80 for 3 hours in Cromer with ‘welcome hugs’. Genuinely couldn’t think of anything worse…

 

[Bubble12]

Does anyone follow Leon? He is doing 4 marathons in 4 days. The first one he did in 5.5 hours and was moaning that it was ‘about 2 hours slower than usual’ making out he does 3.5hr marathons but because he was running with others he had to stay with them. Then he did a PB in 4.5hrs yesterday. So he was talking crap! He seems really arrogant as well.

 

[Gossipreadee]

Is Carly using her van ads, just an excuse to not respect the covid staying local? most definitely not in Norwich in her van stories. My guess is she can get around this one saying that it’s for work. I’m pretty fed up with lock down myself but she really is losing my respect with this. Especially after I sympathise with her and others for not being able to see loved ones. This wasn’t necessary or local travel sure it’s maybe 10miles away, so not hundreds of miles but most have been staying bored AF going on walks around their neighbourhoods. She could have shown off that van just as well on their driveway...
