I know you'll make your little girls day special..... and you don't need to shower her with gifts ... you shower her with love and affection and attention (I've picked that much up from our little chats on here)..... to be honest she will be none the wiser that it's her actual birthday.... they just had the flash party and presents and cake smash to show off on the Gram and for their 'twin' mum friends (my party is better than your party mentality!) ..... if we're still in lockdown a little tea party with you, her and Daddy will be all she needs..... don't worry lovely...... and don't ever compare yourself to her she's a waste of space .... *Hugs*

I know you’re having a really tough time and feel really bad about this but please try not to. At one she won’t remember it. We never spent much on them for their first and second birthday. She won’t have an understanding it’s her birthday. My children always ended up playing with the boxes... I know people always say that but it’s true! Xx

We’re in sync today

Also currently there’s a lot of sales on so you may be able to get more than you think

She's getting free shit cos she's soulless, unethical and immoral and has sold out her family for a bunch of free tat and a 'career' in social media. You have class, dignity and love for your family and self respect and that is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your family

Aww thanks ladies. Of course you’re all absolutely right. My wee one actually loves anything that isn’t a toy anyway, remotes, keys, pots, wooden spoons lol the few toys she does have she gets bored with so quickly

We are saving up for a swing set for her birthday. I was really looking forward to taking her to the park to go on the swings for the first time but don’t think that’ll happen for a long time so hoping to get one for the garden instead. I know she’ll absolutely love it and she will get so much use and joy out of it.

And more importantly she gets all the love and attention she needs from us. It’s like someone said before, Fopps seems to want to find a toy that will keep the boys entertained for long enough that she doesn’t have to engage with them. It’s really quite sad. It just worries me that other mums will be watching her feeling inadequate and won’t have the likes of you lovely ladies helping them see through all the bullshit and helping them see that they are enough.

I bet your kids appreciate what they do have though, never compare yourself to someone that fake It’s not about the amount of toys just remember Fopps is materialistic and if she carries on the boys will be spoilt brats. Mine is 3 months younger and I don’t have half as much stuff either but she has what she needs to keep her occupied. The key is I rotate her things so she’s not overwhelmed and keeps interest in her toys. Also Fopps does things for insta......she’s a show off and wants everyone to think she’s the perfect mum!

That’s the worry for me. When I was a first time mum I would have been hugely influenced by it. I’d have thought that’s what they needed! A swing set sounds lovely. She’ll love it!

Thanks to all these Instagram knobs there is a tremendous pressure to make a song and a dance over a first birthday. I honestly long for the days where we all just had jelly and ice cream, a paper cone hat and played pass the parcel with your dad's smelly sock rolled up inside as a joke prize for the winner (please don't say this was only my family haha)

You sound like a responsible, caring, awesome mother and wife the things Fopperbollox could only DREAM OF... trust me now, better times WILL come. When I was a young 18yr old mother with absolutely nothing (we were on patio furniture because we couldn't afford anything else) I could only afford a little gift for my oldest son's 1st birthday. I totally understand how you feel (he's 20 now!) My mother bought him a cake and we took him out for a little supper. It broke me at the time but It doesn't stop me looking back at the photos with so much love and happy memories. My parents would have paid for/given me anything but I was too proud and stubborn. You'll be happy no matter what trust me sorry for the essay but your post touched my swinging brick of a heart

Memories are priceless and you will have lots of those she won’t as she is too busy behind her phone and getting the right shot for the gram It will be all over soon younger and more interesting ones will come along she has nothing to offer the boys won’t always be cute toddlers another uhmazing twin Mum will take her place all she will be is the oldest Mum at the school gates botoxed to the hill and the younger Mums will pity the old mutton dressed as lamb

You sound like you did your absolute best for your son and I am sure he is so proud and grateful for all you did for him and as you say it’s the silly things we remember like the party games, not the presents. I honestly can’t remember a single gift until my teenage years so why there is so much pressure now it’s just silly.

It really does mean a lot hearing all your stories and how your raised your littleuns. We consume so much on social media these days and the likes of Instagram is so dangerous as it’s all so fake. To be honest even if lockdown and the virus hadn’t happened the most we probably would’ve done would be a bbq with some party decorations and close family anyway. Not any of this cake smash, over the top parties with donut walls and photo booths, for a first birthday! It’s complete madness and all for show.

I see life through ems eyes is pregnant with twins! There's always someone to take the crown. I saw Fopperbollox commented on it .. I bet she was really thinking, aww shit now she's gonna get all my free stuff and instagram likes! I would LOVE it if Fopps brother and sister in-law had twins in the future hahaha!

my_escape_from_the_ads

I Never let my twins (yep twins that’s two don’t ya know ) watch ITV cos of adverts. As they got a bit older maybe. One day there was an ad for something that both loved the look of. I told them it would probably work for 5 mins and would be rubbish. Anyway I let them choose anything from Woolworths after their somewhat traumatic MMR jabS (my fault cos for some reason thought I’d be able to handle that all on my own with 2 screaming 4 year olds!!, but that’s what I did the whole time so ) Anyway said toy worked for 10 mins and they both agreed it was nothing like the advert. valuable lesson learnt. I hate advertising and hated putting my kids in front of it but was pleased we had a good conversation around ads being fake and not real and just money grabbing. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is Fopps ain’t teaching those kids nothing. There’s always the next thing. It’s all gotta LOOK GOOD. It’s sad. I’ll keep watching to see the mess unfold. Poor boys.

I am in total agreement, she’s as smug as she is because she has a big following. If we leave in droves she’s going to start panicking but we can still see what’s going on if we really want to because her page is public. Let’s boycott her page in mass numbers. She’ll be spitting feathers when she wakes up

So Nikki and Carly definitely read here. Carly seems to have deleted the comments from the roast dinner and cake pics on her insta post from the other day. Why would you do that unless it's true and Nikki etc had been there?
