Yeah, there is a massive difference between being aware (if you're lucky enough to be regular- I wasnt for years, and was constantly taken by surprise!) that it's coming, and lightening your load a little if you can and planning your entire life around those few days!! Honestly, women have been having periods forever, and never has so much bloody (pardon the pun) fuss been made about average women having average periods. I'm all for being in tune with your body and kind to yourself, but c'mon!!!!

I have light regular painless periods and the only impact on me in the past year has been taking dark pyjamas on a weekend away rather than light, in case of a leak on day one.
I know I’m lucky but I don’t think I’m that unusual.
I know I’m lucky but I don’t think I’m that unusual.
I have endometriosis and such heavy periods I can’t use tampons and have even flooded on the car seat. I get such severe leg pain the first 2 days it’s hard to stand but I still have to do school runs, 3 per day and look after a big family, washing, cooking and shopping, daily cleaning as so much mess always. I cook never, ever count days out for my period. It’s all just so bloody ridiculous. I go from finding her posts about drinking slightly more bearable (but I just don’t drink as it’s impossible to parent my children properly if I do) not because I need to share how sober I am to absolute despair that this modern, breadwinning earner of the family, doesn’t schedule things if her periods looming. Seriously? Talk about making something a bigger deal for the sake of it and sympathy.
My God, that sounds horrendous. But as you say, life doesnt stop. It's just another example of how privileged she is that she has the luxury of just shutting down if she wants to.
Notsosmugnow and charlotte jacklin both in last week have done stories about their PMT they all jump on what anyone else is saying (No not everyone else just wanky self obsessed influencers, everyone one else deals with it and goes to work Without announcing to 100k people) and copy it. It does my nut!Her toddler has coincidentally taken a picture of her tattoo and now she has a reason to do her crappy 'research' does she think we were all born yesterday? She's clearly sat there like the absolute loser she is and took a blurry close up picture of her own tattoo so she can launch into these stories. She's so sad! Imagine growing up and realising your baby pictures were just tokens for your mum to post absolutely drivel on insta.

She's so sad! Imagine growing up and realising your baby pictures were just tokens for your mum to post absolutely drivel on insta. I was just coming on here to say the same thing! I wonder how many people actually reply to her ‘research’ posts.Her toddler has coincidentally taken a picture of her tattoo and now she has a reason to do her crappy 'research'
Shamefully I have in the past, I don’t now. She has only responded once and that was very tersely and I felt really stupid so never again!
I read it back when you quoted me and wanted to get out the violins
I didn’t mean if as a sob story but literally no one cares about my period lol except me!Not taken as a sob story- seriously- if it's bad it's bad! I have the odd heavy painful one and that can knock me for 6, so fair play to you for dealing with all that (without needing to clear your schedule, book into a hotel etc!Shamefully I have in the past, I don’t now. She has only responded once and that was very tersely and I felt really stupid so never again!

). I'm all for talking about it and normalising, and realising it's not the same for everyone- but these women act like they have cracked some sort of period code or they are the first women to ever deal with this tit!!
I’m sure she gets lots of responses, I’ve probably responded back in the day. Especially difficult or stressful topics...it can feel good to unload. Influencers have pushed the idea they’re our ‘friends’ so they can profit off us. There are plenty of people out there who haven’t seen through the smokescreen yet.
I could never be an 'influencer' as I still like a drink, dont have a period (coil) and wouldn't have a clue what stage the moon is in !
off to have a look now ...What is she doing?
Totally tragic.What is she doing?
Tragic budget Clem
Naaah I cringed like there's no tomorrow for her wheres her friends and family wheres her husband how can he let this happen
When you take part in her questions (research darlings!) can she see who’s submitted answers?
Yes she can see
She’s such a cock. Her reply to me on Instagram stories before, was dripping with blind privilege. I said something about how perhaps going on about being skint, but advertising and not declaring expensive stuff, was a bit misleading and confusing for her followers, especially her target audience of new and perhaps isolated mums. She basically said they worked bloody hard for everything they’ve got, does declare ads properly (she bleeping doesn’t), and if anyone’s jealous of her life they should put the work in. Ermm yeah budget Clem, way to spectacularly miss a point you dick.
