Honestly thought she was having a laugh. But she really wasn’t.Good god that poor bloke!
She’s romanticising a bit of emulsion now.

AgreedNONE of the bloody ‘lovely and relatable’ insta/YT Mums are relatable in any way. I’m sure it must contribute to mental health problems in that we see their perfect lives, perfectly behaved children, #gifted holidays (arrrrgh makes me SICK), piles of shopping hauls and wish we could manage it all. When are they going to be called up on it other than by us lot. YOU’RE ALL MAKING A LIVING MAKING OTHER PEOPLE FEEL LIKE tit AND EXPLOITING YOUR CHILDREN.
I can’t fault her for this. I am sure my husband and I make more than she does and we live a nice life. I don’t think she is in the realm of the Saccone-Joly family yet of ‘unrelateableness’. I don’t usually waste my money the way she wastes hers, but I can’t be mad at her for buying lipgloss and a sweater.I can’t relate to these women with so much disposable income. I can’t afford to do a kids clothing haul, buy a £30 cardigan, £15 lipgloss, decorate 2 rooms and whatever the duck else she gets up to all in one month.
It’s not just lipgloss she has just renovated two rooms , she pays private nursery for two kids when she is home all day ,I can’t fault her for this.

Again I don’t find that unreasonable. Because she has the means to do those things and others can’t doesn’t mean she can’t show it on her channel. It’s on brand for her. Also I think they have an affordable mortgage hence renovating instead of moving. I am not Charl diehard fan but I hate this argument saying those who have shouldn’t say anything for fear of hurting others. We know she does nice things for others in her own way. I have no idea what private nursery costs for her but with 2 working adults we can afford it in the Seattle area along with the mortgage, cars, etc. just because it’s relatable to me doesn’t mean it has to be relatable to you. But it is her brand. Buying some cheap furniture for her kids room isn’t a sin and neither is redoing a room for them.It’s not just lipgloss she has just renovated two rooms , she pays private nursery for two kids when she is home all day ,
I earn an extremely good wage but I’m not putting myself online trying to be relatable to other mothers , of whom some may be single unemployed, off sick or in a whole host of other situations ,
She has zero relatability to most mothers , and is portraying an unrealistic lifestyle to a lot especially young mothers that are more likely to fall for the bs , for all we know Charlotte and mark could be arguing all day this picture perfect crap is just that crap [emoji90]
Many people have very high mortgages !!
Childcare is a lot more expensive in the UK. It’ll be £100 a day for both of them. She lives in quite an affluent area too so not surprised she’s renovating as she probably got the house cheap years ago.Again I don’t find that unreasonable.

But what about the people (like me) who she is relatable to? Why should she have to “dumb down” (for lack of a better phrase) her situation just to appeal to one group of people when she IS relatable to another group? Plenty of people who watch her will have a similar lifestyle with similar amounts of disposable income. So why should she pretend she doesn’t to appease the ones who don’t? If she isn’t relatable, don’t watch her. She doesn’t have to temper her lifestyle to fit to those around her in case it makes them feel sad.It’s not just lipgloss she has just renovated two rooms , she pays private nursery for two kids when she is home all day ,

Influencers earn big money. A few hundred-thousand for Instagram ads, and several thousand for sponsored YouTube videos. They earn a lot more than people think. Plus Mark earns as well, and I’d imagine a relatively decent wage given his sector.Will Daisy get 30 hours?? We do for our 3 to but we have to complete HMRC criteria every 3 months to confirm we are both working and earning over a minimum threshold. Dunno if charl would meet the criteria tbh. She would def get the 15 hours though.
While I get what you're saying, 'dumb down' is a really bad way of describing being relatable to people who are less well off. People who aren't rich doesn't = dumb.But what about the people (like me) who she is relatable to?

Really? Curious to know what these are, please enlighten us.We know she does nice things for others in her own way.

She is an online influencer that’s what she does so yeh I’ll just leave that hereAgain I don’t find that unreasonable.

How does she manage to blag working thirty hours a week when she is only editing a video?Daisy will qualify for 30 hours so will be completely free now. Stan costs approx £50 per week if he’s in for one day. The mortgage on her house will not be expensive at all between her and Mark. She’s had a fair few ads lately plus YouTube videos and I’m sure Mark gets paid pretty well! At the end of the day these influencers do earn good money and they have minimal childcare costs and zero work related costs such as commuting and office wear. It makes a difference.
