Am I the only one who gets the urge to whe reading these comments ?
Truly, good for her to have die-hard fans like that. But for the life of me I can't figure out what they love about her so much.

Good bye for now, I'm off searching for the good vibes and authenticity of hers... I'll let you know when I find them 🫡

I was just looking at comments on her post that popped up about feeding six “toddlers” to see if anyone had commented on that and in the time I was reading them the number of comments had gone down from about 150 to 100 - would that be because she’s deleting any negative ones?!

Yes, someone has commented about that and she has replied. But why not just say toddlers and pre-schoolers? None of the food she prepared is for babies!

Fleur’s not technically a preschooler either, she’s at school (and excelling of course!)

The epitome of smug.

The pout is so annoying

The kitchen is so poky and the ladder/ high up storage is ridiculous. Who wants to be moving a ladder around and taking crockery up and down a ladder in the middle of cooking/ when putting dishes away. Also ridiculous with small children around. Total fail

I will never understand the huge amount of work to the kitchen to make it almost no different but somehow worse. What a terrible ad for the company and designer

Doesn't expect much, does she?

Is Society making me doubt my dream of having 3 children?

I reminded my husband that on our official First date - for the story, we met in a pub a few days before, had another unplanned encounter even before those few days, because yes I can say it was pretty much love at first sights - I told him I wanted to get married in France in the church where...

I thought the whole feeding six toddlers post was so fake and smug. Isn't it normal to feed your kids' friends and don't most normal parents cook something rather than ordering a box of hot wings and a few kebabs? Every mum I knew when mine were young had "school friends" recipes that were going to go over well with most. All you want to do is make something familiar so every child feels comfortable and confident to eat well and feel welcomed. Of course, being a French, she has to outdo mere normal parents but I was happy my daughter got pasta and pesto followed by a yoghurt 7 times out of 10, because it was about having fun with friends, not the maman showing off for her social media.

Gawd she has a new Hayley Menzies cardigan on. I like HM cardigans and get about one a year because they are about 350/400. Its put me off the brand! how can Hayley (she appears very hands on and its a small brand) want to shill with Manon who will shill ANYTHING. Its not like Manon selectively chooses what she promotes. She will probably show the cardigan once maybe twice. Meanwhile, lesser mortals have to work save up and shock horror BUY ONE. So demoralising. I am genuinely shocked brands still fawn over here oh and I agree about the kitchen. That ladder. its not like its a massive kitchen like Gwyneth Paltrow's or something! Last bit of rant, I would respect her just a bit more if she didn't show the kids faces and cash in on the kids. Awful.

Wow, I'm impressed: even at birth she's successful! What a maman

Now the question is: will she be successful a third time around? I will never know because I refuse to ever waste money on this...

 

[supertickedoff]

She’s very proud of the fact that she fell pregnant naturally and quickly, and had a natural physiological birth, having mentioned the fact several times in the (unpaid for) bit I read. God she’s smug. And blissfully ignorant that some women would love to have had a natural physiological () birth but couldn’t.
That first paragraph was such a long ramble, I can’t imagine why people would want to pay to read her drivel.

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

She is also une meilleure maman than you because she "didn't take time off and worked full-time" after the birth. What is it with these influencers and content creators who think their "job" is akin to 12 hour days down t'coalmine?

 

[Flipfloop]

I'm surprised by how impractical the new kitchen seems. The house seems to be a good size but the kitchen is tiny and having herbs etc. down a step and next to what I presume is a back door, seems to be just poor design.

It doesn't really look any different to the old kitchen. Given she supposedly cooks for a living, the kitchen seems like an afterthought.

Let's also remember that she went on a weeks long sponsored roadtrip through France when that poor baby was about 3 weeks old. If that's what she calls "fulltime work" then I'd gladly work fulltime too (I do actually, but minus the free vacations and PR-deliveries )

 

[AllThingsNew]

Also she keeps contradicting herself... she thanks her elderly neighbor for babysitting multiple times a week, but keeps repeating she has no family around and barely any help. She claims that being a maman is a priority, then brags about working fulltime with a newborn. Can't take anything she says seriously...

It's a stylish kitchen designed to show off, I guess... more for the looks than for value, so it's kind of fitting actually

I too cook for a living at my own home, and my kitchen is as small as, if not even smaller then hers. That kitchen would drive me insane. Who wants to move a giant ladder around to access pots you use on a daily basis? Or run down a flight of stairs for spices in the midst of cooking?

Also that thermomix is fragile. It's not designed to be slammed into a banquette after each usage. This will damage the inbuilt scale. But who cares... thermomix.uk will just gladly send her a new one if she wrecks hers, right?

 

[twolittlegeese]

defends calling her nearly 5 year old a toddler ‘for ease’ then does it again on the next post when specifically referring to her. It’s really odd!

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

She seems to regularly dump 2 very active "toddlers" on her 80+ neighbour and then talks like she is the one doing her neighbour a favour!

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

Was this one of you lot?? I'm sorry but with her smug post about her "juggling life", what did she expect?

 

[AllTheGinJoints]

And she's rounded up the troops to respond to that person. How are people so thick as to not see influencers for what they are?
