As I’d imagined, It looks like everyone else’s on Instagram. Does no one have their own taste anymore

How embarrassing. Showing off a piece of equipment that can only cook one potato at a time. ✨ BUT AS LONG AS IT WAS EXPENSIVE THEN IT MUST BE WORTH IT ✨

I can only assume it was gifted or given to her buy someone. People like Elle don’t purchase their own items

“Underestimated reno life with a toddler”

Oh you’ve got a toddler have you?

Oh you’re renovating your new house are you?

This woman is honesty acting like Kylie Jenner during her first pregnancy.

Why is everything such a secret???? We’ve all got kids and houses chill out hun, you’re not special.

Fuckkkk offfffffffffff.

No one cares.

Bored of it.

Why is she creeping back????
I actually cant believe she still hasn't shown this invisible child! Uses her dead son to get her noticed but not her living daughter! It's not right!

They are not cute or funny. It's just bleeping cruel.

What did she say the other day? "Bigger renovation than we ever anticipated"?

So, tell me Eleanor, what exactly did you expect when you bought a massive house that clearly needs total renovation? Absolute braggy bleep.
Absolutely! She does thinks shes is above everyone else!

We can put her right she certainly is not above everyone else especially on here .she is nothing. Lots of people out there that have lost babies a lot worse situations than this little nothing she think she is something special she is certainly not. . She can do one . Get lost and get on with her life . .

I’ve seen her kid elsewhere, she’s cute, aren't they all. I understand why she doesn’t show her face but I don’t understand why she has basically said less than 10 words about her in over a year. It’s bleeping weird. Now she’s coming at us with bland bathrooms and vanilla kitchen content after nothing for months. Stick to your private insta if you’re going to be so secretive about it babes. It’s bleeping tedious.

Ahhh I just want to see her little face 😩 yeah it is weird to say we heard step by step of her getting in the world,the 'dildo wand' stories an all! Then when she finally gets a baby she just doesnt ever mention her. All the money people have donated to teddy you would think she would have the decency to show his baby sister,even hist once xx

I personally have no interest to see what the child looks like, but I do find it super weird that she hardly mentions her, and if not taking about her, you’d think she’d occasionally talk about motherhood. But perhaps she is saving that for another book and in meantime will just continue showing us some walls!

Yeah, I agree, it’s a little strange.

I don’t have any interest in seeing the little one at all. I don’t even follow FTEN anymore or see her stories. I just find it a little strange that Elle wanted this brand new chapter with her much wanted baby, made a huge thing about how she was leaving this Instagram account etc, to then return with the most boring and random content. It’s strange how she pretty much spoke about Teddy all the time but seldom mentions his sibling. I get that the account was dedicated to Teddy and her coming to terms with the horrendous loss in her empty nest, but thankfully for Elle, her nest is no longer empty. To keep posting but never mentioning her daughter is so strange. Especially after revealing so much prior to this - even poor baby Teddy’s stillborn photo.
I dunno, it’s her life and her social media, it just seems as though (and this will sound awful), that she's profited off her baby’s death and created this poor childless woman narrative for herself, got popular, brands felt sympathy for her so sent her free stuff. She got her happily ever after, misses the instafame and freebies so is dipping her toe back in practically screaming “I’m doing a Reno give me free stuff”. Doesn’t sit right with me, but who am I to judge?!

THIS is what doesn’t sit right with me; being very comfortable with showing the face of a dead baby, but not a live one? It make 0 sense to me. Out of respect to the child that’s passed, I personally wouldn’t show their face. That to me, seems too personal. Especially to share to thousands of people on the internet. I can’t get my head around that.

I am in two minds about this… if Teddy had lived, Elle would gave had a ‘normal’ social media existence. I don’t judge her for not sharing her daughter’s image with a large audience and invading the privacy of a living child.

i do agree that returning just for the reno snapshots is super weird.

I also know it’s not Elle’s job to do this, but being able to share that there can be joy and a new life after the trauma of losing a baby might help others… but it’s ultimately up to each of us as individuals what we choose to put on social media and I don’t feel like she owes me anything. I don’t miss her content when she’s not posting.

I think it’s the fact that she’s sort of denying her existence that’s weird. I get that she wants to share Teddy as it sort it confirms that he did exist and he was a baby with a very very short life and she doesn’t want him to be forgotten but to almost completely ignore that he has a little sister is weird to me.

Fine, don’t show her face, don’t post pics of her at all but to just act like you’re not a mum to a living child and to hardly mention her is what I find strange. She can still post about her journey without the pictures.

I don’t have an issue with people keeping certain things private on social media (I mean it’s frustrating cos I’m a nosey b!) but my problem with FTEN is that her WHOLE social media presence is based on her motherhood journey. Even her Instagram handle is based on it. She detailed everything from losing Teddy to trying to fall pregnant with her second child. She wrote TWO books about this!! And actually she had a great deal of support from people, I really liked her and was so wanting her to have a bring home baby so when she announced her pregnancy I was so happy for her however how she has acted since and the way she’s gone on - not even revealing the baby’s first name?!? - I have gone completely off her and actually can see her for what she is now. She has monetised her journey, sold her soul for ads and gifts and used it all to HER advantage. She is no a genuine person at all and now it’s like “ok got what I want, duck off the lot of ya”. I don’t care about seeing the baby or whatever but it’s the fact her whole account is about her motherhood and she shared Her first borns name and date of birth and all the details. I think a lot of women who follow her - loss mums or struggling with infertility - would be disappointed she’s decided that her followers aren’t good enough to ‘meet’ her longed for daughter! Doesn’t sit right with me at all.

THIS.
I completely agree, I don‘t blame her for not wanting to share her daughters face with a huge following day to day. But after all of the support for her, the happiness her followers felt for her finally being pregnant again… to dismiss them all and basically go 🖕🏼off you all duck now. And don’t you dare ask me her name. She will be referred to as ‘O’. 😐
Very strange behaviour. And like others have said above, you can still chat about motherhood without showing her face / invading her privacy. It probably would have brought a lot of joy to her followers to see her finally chatting about sleepless nights, poo explosions etc. And she would have still been likeable. I can guarantee most of her followers are probably a bit baffled at the way she has decided to go.

Yes exactly,we just dont hear about her. I asked about her a while ago,if she was ok and she seen it but ne her replied or liked it or anything. She talked SO much about living life after baby loss and then the bump pics and then just absolutely nothing! The odd pic of an outfit for Olivia thays been gifted and that's it. It's all super strange. I'd love to know the reasoning behind it. After all if it wasnt for her followers she wouldn't have raised that amount and wrote books and god knows what yet we're not good enough to hear about her motherhood journey! She used to be on stories allday everyday x
