Mere Soeur

[Squirrelfriends]

I think it’s fair enough that she now keeps Riv out of her posts. The Made ad was produced before this decision and she cannot control how or where it’s used. Why can’t she change her mind? Lots of people on social media, influencers or otherwise post loads of pictures of their children when they’re young, then have a change of heart as they get a bit older when they realise the repercussions it may have.
Personally, I wouldn’t have put any pictures up of my child from the very beginning, but I completely understand why people do.
All credit to her for changing ways TBH. Just because she started posting pics of him doesn’t mean she needs to continue to do so, or that she’s a hypocrite.

if she continues to use him in paid advertisements in the future though...

Literally not one person has complained that she's not posting his picture or has changed her ways??? I'm not interested in seeing her kid, it's great she's taken this stance BUT
I'm just perplexed as to the duality of her values...his face is Ok for ads and her own self promotion or to blag freebies but doesn't want to post his face anywhere else.....wants to keep his life private, school private etc but happy to tell her followers he's wet the bed?
I get your point about the AD's being made before she changed her mind, it's a valid point and am keeping it in mind, however like you said if he's used in the future for ads then she really is a twit.

Also even if she isn't showing his face he is still being used for content and to blag freebies....case in point: the VANS event so still a knob.

I literally didn’t say that.
my questions were rhetorical not an accusation. Sorry if they came across as such

People have used the word ‘hypocritical’. I personally think that’s a bit harsh and I was only referring to the example of the Made ad. if she’s continuing to show his face for the money in ads since making such a song and dance about it, then yeah, I totally agree.

I thought they were accusatory at first I was like.... Woah, what's your deal mate
Having re read it I get where you're coming from, it's important to see things from all sides.
It's the less annoying thing about her tbh out of a few but even then I don't think she's all bad, I quite liked her in the beginning I just think she's sold herself a bit in the quest of influencer type money and some of her behaviour is questionable.
I have an issue with how much she goes on about all the work she does and not putting her down but it's not really that hard, I mean I've got a sister who is a single mum, doing a degree, dealing with two special needs children, who has supported her eldest child through Uni and is somehow trying to earn extra money with no support whatsoever from anyone and I mean ANYONE and I know it's not a competition for who has it worst but she kind of makes it by going on about it so much!!!
Carrie does a lot of things right (podcast, promoting black businesses etc) but I'm still going to call out bullshit when I see it.

All of this! I don’t dislike her but agree she’s sold out. Think she’s a lot more greedy than she lets on. The thing is, people here on Instagram wouldn’t being saying anything about her son settling at school etc had she not presented him for public consumption. She overshares way too much so that her followers feel invested in her and her kid. She has enabled strangers to have opinions about things that should be kept private. It’s her responsibility not ours. Then she goes on and on about how she doesn’t care what anything else thinks the horse has well and truly bolted

well said! I think you’ve summarised what I feel about her better than I did.

Proper greedy, I definitely agree.... She opened herself up for criticism the moment she opened up her life to the public....the same thing she's made a living from! So sorry love but get the duck over it or you can get in the sea because this is what you signed up for!!!!

Not allowed an opinion though.

That doesn't sound right. That post makes it absolutely clear she hates gossiping and talking about people. So there's no way she'd have done a post bitching directly at us. Not Carrie, she just doesn't care babe. Doesn't care so much her whole brand at the minute is telling folk how much she just doesn't bloody care.

Yeah I think so, but she probably doesn't want to mention this site and drive traffic here incase other people work out her bullshit so she's being a silly little billy and p'tending someone's in the dm's (she usually puts people on blast when they do albeit with thier name covered in stories though doesn't she?)
She sounds like a 5 year old ( and talks like one) it's so basic innit, 'if you got something to say about me you're just bitter/jealous'

Creasing "nothing recently actually!"
Praying she does a clemmie MOD and comes in here to have it out with us passively aggressively!

“That’s not how we move anymore” lol at the royal “we”

She’s definitely trying to sound like candice brathwaite like someone said above and tbh it’s cringe. Plus Candice is not a good writer imho.

Thing is she is like oh look at me I run my own business all on my own, girl pwr blah. Then she is like I haven’t stopped, packing orders, getting quotes on new merch blah. It’s your business hun, your job - be thankful you bloody have one at the mo!!

She’s always so BUSY as well. Smacks of poor time / business management really. What happened to Paula who was packing her orders for her? Why has it taken her so long to sort out her postage situation. She’s full of crap.

Oh she’s been banging on about ethical porn now flipping insufferable

That's what I thought, I think she's coming for slumflower and Florence given's gig
You watch she'll be releasing a book next 'rad mum sex positions' or summat.
She's always shoving her POV down people's throats when no one even asked for it.
Also bragging that she basically had no desire to make things work with her sons father, like she's so bleeping insulting to him. She acts like he's a piece of trash and he definitely isn't.
