Feathering the empty nest

[MrsHater]

I can confirm she done this to me when I reached out when my baby was very sick in the nicu. I just gotta generic copy and paste message about how she doesn’t have time for it and wouldn’t be reading or replying. It actually really took me by surprise and upset more than I thought it ever would. It was really blunt and quite cutting. Never saw her the same after that.

I am not in the least bit surprised. Really sorry for your loss- I hope you are getting the support you need now xx

So happy for them, lovely, lovely news!

I think that the garden stories are purely filler at the moment, probably to avoid the inevitable influx of thousands of messages asking if she’s had the baby, if she posted nothing at all. I do find it a little bit odd though that everything has gone completely silent regarding her pregnancy. I hope to God that nothing is wrong. Although she owes us absolutely nothing in terms of any information, I do kind of wish that she would do a story basically saying that she is okay and bump is okay!

Yes I’m sure you would be able to do a hello fresh add aswell....if you were being paid for it too. Which is sort of my point. Its not very authentic to the whole reason her page got so many followers and why she got a book published out of it. It’s what bothers me about most of the other ‘instagrammers’.

The reply from the friend came up in conversation with somebody as I actually saw it for myself. I would never make something like that up if thats what you’re implying. As i said in my original message I wish them all the very best with the birth of their baby.

So so happy for them

The entitlement is unreal here.
Would love to know the name, Hope is my guess as it has meaning but who knows, she’ll share if she wants!

You’ve got to realise, baby being here is bittersweet, she’s got what she has wanted for so long, but it’s also a huge reminder of what she and Nico have lost. They do grow up so fast and she’s got so much to process.

This is a rave (not rage) thread. She owes us nothing at all, she’s simply human who probably at the moment looks knackered, has one boob significantly bigger than the other, has family who are all desperate to get in the baby action, and don’t forget a traumatic birth. Emergency c sections usually are done under a general, that can have a huge impact on a new mothers mental health.

Elle, if you’re reading, rest up love, enjoy your daughter and we’ll see you when we see you

Completely unrelated but as someone who works in maternity they are rarely done under GA

She’s replied to someone in her comments saying the name isn’t Hope. Can imagine it will be way more traditional!

I do understand her reasoning for the insta break, we all do. We’re just finding the big announcement of it a bit dramatic

Awhhhhhhh Olivia. What a lovely name.

I cant understand why people come on here and disagree with what people say. We are told not to moderate each other, its not a fan site people. No one is saying she shouldnt do what is right for her and that she hasnt had an awful time she has had a horrendous time , equally no one should be surprised if they come on here and read negative comments. Thats what tattle is !

 

[Ruby’s mum]

I think the name will be beautiful she has lovely taste x

I can imagine Harriet or Hattie for short.

 

[Noname123]

They are doing well. I’d love to read an updated blog post about her life with baby girl.

 

[OutrageouslyScarlet]

It’s hard when you don’t live in where you are from as you leave a lot of friends behind not to mention family. So I guess nice to post what you are up to privately

 

[SilverSpoonNotIncluded]

I didn’t say she shouldn’t share it, I said other people should be allowed to have an opinion on it, that’s all.

So you can have an opinion but I can’t? And I can’t ask you about yours?

 

[SilverSpoonNotIncluded]

How has she managed to write a book during the first 6 months of her maternity leave? I don’t have time to read a book let alone write one!

I really like her so I’m not being snide. But it makes me feel like there must be something wrong with me (chronic laziness?!) when other people are so productive in comparison.

From the blurb, I think it’s largely about pregnancy after loss, I imagine there is some about parenting a baby but probably not much. I know what you mean, I haven’t achieved anything on my mat leave

I hadn’t heard of her, just checked out her page and cringed. Her whole life is one big filter

Yep that orange filter is used on her pics is awful. She also put loads of stories looking for recommendations for baby products (now bear in mind she is part of channel mum so tonnes of baby videos around there / mum friends).... then tagged all the recommended brands on her stories...

 

[Nellyboy]

Elle sharing items from small businesses that she’s bought from...I highlight the word bought. Baffled as to why she’s had negativity on this thread. She’s a class act in the world of vacuous, insipid, money grabbing beggars on Instagram.

In your opinion.

 

[Astyanax]

So glad to see her back. Such a class act as ever

 

[Allthatglitters666]

Those little feet

 

[Bgr101]

Im not sure why anyone would care what the babys name is ...

 

[AmberSpyglass]

She might have just tagged it because people ask her where it’s from? She’s not an influencer and an older lady who probably doesn’t have much of an idea how Instagram works. Some proper spiteful people on here.

It is Tattle.

She could have just said it’s from Seasalt, there was no need to tag the company. She would have known first hand from Elle how IG works and how free stuff can be obtained, yes I’m a cynic.

I doubt that Carol reads Tattle or that anyone would direct her here so she should remain blissfully unaware.
