Martha - Marthashappilyeverafter

[Ihatepeonies]

This is the thing. People think Tattle is a place for jealous shrivelled up bitter hags picking on beautiful, successful instagrammers.

But actually, we are discussing an industry where followers are cleverly manipulated, misled and USED by people who are playing a part.

When Martha asks you, her lowly Instagram follower, whether you have a tv in your bedroom, she doesn’t give a tiny rats arse whether you do. She’s hoping brands will see the engagement/post and send her a telly. And the worst part of this is... they will.

Martha herself is playing the part of animal loving, doting, stay at home mum to four joules clad little cherubs, living the aesthetic dream in a country home. ...Actually, reality check, she hasn’t bought the house, she hasn’t bought the joules. Plus, she won’t have much time for doting on her kids, because of the large amount of work involved in her paid partnerships. She’s a business woman at the end of the day.

I’m not denying that some comments are a little personal, and will call them out if I see them. The majority of us on Tattle are disillusioned with the constant sales tactics. I saw a baby announcement #ad the other day for goodness sake. It’s a joke, and I’m glad people are now seeing through it.

I don’t know why everyone is up her arse just because she came on here.

Nobody, literally nobody was trying to doxx where she lives or her kids’ schools. Maybe a little bit of idle speculation about the vague area her house is in etc

She’s still up there with the worst of the child sellers in my opinion.

Does anyone think the view of the horse through the conservatory is not so much ‘rural idyll’ but more ‘settled traveller’?

Renting a house hasn't made me lose respect for Martha, her petty little "sorry us renting a house has upset you" dig has.

Context is really fucking pivotal on instagram. I think influencers have a moral duty to be honest regarding the content they share. If you're going to show every nook and cranny of your new home, then share that you don't own it. Be honest that you won't be renovating it because it isn't yours. Don't hide it in comments that can be deleted, put it in the caption. If you don't want to disclose the status of your property don't share every little detail about it.

Also, keep your toys in the pram when some one points at that your content with no context has a detrimental effect on people's mental health.

Lastly, tagging F&B on a photo where the paint that was not provided by them is the unscrupulous cherry on the dishonest cake.

What an absolute clown.

Completely agree. It’s not like (for example) an actress who has every right to expect a certain level of privacy with their children because they have an actual job which just happens to put them in the public eye. Martha and others have deliberately chosen to put their children online to make money, for no other reason. These children have absolutely no understanding of what this means and cannot make an informed choice over if they actually want to be broadcast to thousands of strangers. Then expecting to pick and choose what people should talk about and have a tantrum if it’s not what they want is pathetic, sorry. I’m glad the mask has slipped slightly and a few people (and I’m sure, companies ) see what it’s actually like behind the scenes there, rather then trying to tell everyone they need to open a Very credit account to purchase all the crap she flogs just to have a “happily ever after”

I also agree with this. Sorry Martha but you chose to flog your kids at literally ANY opportunity. I’ve seen photos of your kids in their school uniforms, in bikinis, asleep in their bedrooms, in the bath AND IN A HOSPITAL BED FFS. You have chosen to sell their poor little lives - and yes people on here might discuss the town or the city that you live in (haven’t seen any discussion about what school your kids go to) but the main safeguarding issue lies with what you have chosen to do with your kids in front of a 150k audience, not what a ‘gossip’ website says.
Ps your husband should keep his insta deleted until he can control his temper

Do you think Josh is telling her what to say?!

Oh god I hope so, although it’s still light so he’s probably still playing out on his skateboard, he’ll be called in for his tea soon.

Marthalyingeverafter has to be in the new thread title

Marthlyingeverafter, you rent you don’t own. Please get off of that monotone.

Josh trying to run off his frustration of being a 2004 emo skate kid trapped in a father of four’s badly tattooed body.

Another influencer bleating about privacy whilst blatantly flogging their family on social media! Let’s not forget that these influencers are inherently inauthentic and the majority of them aren’t true fans of the brand they’re advertising. They would be nobodies without their loyal sheep who are the ones who will go out and buy the products being flogged and then report back thanking said influencer who then reposts their gushing adoration. We’re all taken in by advertising, that’s the whole point of the industry. We see something we like and we go out and buy it. The difference is that many influencers advertise products and at the same time have no qualms about selling their children on their squares to earn their living. Whilst Martha has an undeniably beautiful family (raging husband aside ) and appears to live an enviable life moving from one lovely house to another, she cannot expect that aspects of this life won’t be brought into question and commented on. Her polite request on here that we respect her privacy and that of her children is hypocritical at best and she has suddenly decided that she should shut the privacy door after her Instagram paid for pony has bolted Does she really think that people are going to find out where she lives/kids go to school and come visit.....I don’t think anyone is that interested to be honest

 

[Ihatepeonies]

Hmm

I think it’s quite telling that she hides nothing of roads/ areas / SCHOOL UNIFORM in her stories but as soon as there is a sniff of someone disclosing that she’s *gasp* renting, she’s straight on here asking for ‘privacy’.

 

[Ihatepeonies]

I wonder if the large amount of land being purchased is so they can build there own house whilst renting

That’s really the only explanation I can think of

I’d rather own my own nice- enough home than rent a nicer one, so this is the only thing I can think of that would make it viable. That they used money from selling the last one to put towards their self build.

Should keep Mr Happily Ever After busy, keep him from quietly humming My Chemical Romance songs and weeping about his lost youth whilst lying on his pink bedspread

I think those who comment on here don't want to know her actual address and couldnt care less where her children go to school.
Worked very hard to keep their address and children's school private my arse.
If you are honestly concerned about your children's safety then why put photos/stories of them in their school uniform? There is a recent photograph of the children sat outside the front of their new house. Not to mention the stories of outside of her parents house and Josh's parent's pub, the car they drive, the holidays they go on. I could go on all day really.

I used to follow Martha years ago until she started getting so achingly "instagram influencer" about it all.

I do agree with a previous poster that it is all none of our business but these people make it our business. They sell and monetise their lives, their children's lives, the very sofa they sit on and sheets they sleep between. You can't do that without opening your whole life to speculation and criticism as well as admiration and adulation.

If Martha was our colleague or neighbour or former school pal, we might say to our OH or mum "I wonder if they're renting?" and it would be of very little interest to a few people. But as she's a stranger who spatchcocks her own life online for profit to tens of thousands of other strangers, there are more people discussing it.

I think a lot of us are cheesed off about influencers and feel like we can comment critically and dissect their "product" - and the fact that the product is their children's childhood is their choice - because our money goes to support them indirectly if we use the brands.

 

[Ihatepeonies]

To be fair that’s a really eloquent and considered post from her follower. are you here?!

Then Martha has just word vomited and completely missed the point, and to be honest looks a bit of a tit.

 

[YoungHollywood]

This whole thing has really pissed me off, esp after she came on here and told us what we could and couldn’t discuss so she could try and silence it. She didn’t give a shit about her kids privacy, she only cared her rental was about to be uncovered! Portraying the image of buying this massive luxury home, compared to the reality of renting on the cheap from a friend whilst no doubt saving all of the money she is making off her sheep with all this fakery. If previous posts are to be believed, and they are buying land to build on, she will look very silly indeed when it comes out. She has to be one of the worst out there; acting all beige while lying, plugging anything and everything she can, extremely aggressive husband telling everyone to fuck off while she again tries to hide it and getting him to delete his entire account. Lies, lies and lies. Saying she can’t be responsible for what other people do while on the other hand selling her children’s lives to flog pointless crap to her viewers sums it all up really.

 

[allybongo]

Whilst Martha should absolutely be doing more to safeguard her children and hide her address, there is no excuse to walk up to her door at 9.30pm on a Sunday night. That’s disgusting and the kind of behaviour that gives these threads a bad name.

I think the PP meant she ‘walked up to the door’ on google earth, not physically

 

[xlxjxbx]

How dare we say stuff about his family?! Mate - we wouldn’t even know who your family was if you weren’t the ones putting them/yourselves on the internet!

but they do like hamsters

Hahahahaha best comment.
Why you’d give in to a 3 year old. My young girls all love pretending to be cats - it’s what they do, but do I go and get them one....no.
To be honest she needs something to post about, the dog isnt massively cute - 2 of the kids are getting too big. Plus she needs to keep up with the other Instagram mums.
Her video the other day of the girls bedroom “this is the second smallest room” and showing a very large bedroom - oh have a day off love - we are in the middle of global pandemic, people are dying, many many people have lost their jobs, could you maybe show some sensitivity or are you that desperate to show off? Why did it need writing that is was the second smallest room, it is completely irrelevant, like her.

I’m done. Please tell me this is a tattler
