great comment. He still hasn’t answered it and there aren’t many comments in that post. The ad ones don’t get too many. He did answer someone who asked him to put AD at the beginning so she could decide whether or not to scroll past. Someone else reprimanded him for not following the ASA rules. Other people dissed the app he’s advertising.How long till this is deleted ? Or the fan girls attack View attachment 27044
Bless your heart xSo many saddening stories here about new mums feeling guilt tripped by insta mums like Saint Clemmie.
I’m not a mum myself but I do work with children of all ages and I can categorically day: they do not want or need all of the shite that is pushed as ‘must haves’ to families. The best care you can give a baby is to wrap it in a sling around you and provide it with love and attention. That’s...it. You don’t ‘need’ expensive cots, toys and prams (don’t get me started on prams ). You’re all fantastic mums and don’t deserve to be made to feel so rubbish.
The other bit that also stuck out for me was when Courtney apparently pulled a face when someone called out to her two year old. What does she expect when she's exposed her child to 250, 000 people. It's bound to happen.I saw the article yesterday and was surprised that it was such a candid piece. Definitely not complimentary but very enlightening. I don’t really follow any of that ‘tribe’ of instamamas but it could have applied to any of these influencers who live in this bubble with their grid pic perfect lives and squads. I hope the bubble is going to burst soon personally.
Some of what she was selling was probably gifted so may have not been worn.Does MOD still have that insta page selling her old clothes? I remember it from ages ago and wondering “ who wants her cast offs even more confusing who wants to PAY her for her cast offs”

a lot of it had been worn just wondered if she was still flogging itSome of what she was selling was probably gifted so may have not been worn.
So true. I can’t work out if she genuinely believes what she’s saying is ‘helpful’. That she’s maybe not that bright or self reflecting? And if she’s in such a privileged bubble and lots of her mates are instamums so it normalises it?The whole insta flogger and midwife just doesn’t sit right with me. I’m a nurse (almost 30 years) and Clemmies moral compass is way off mine. She knows that she her sales are based on needing vulnerable women to identify with her. This just doesn't sit aligned with our ethos as health care professionals to do no harm and the advocate for those that can’t for themselves.
And the one day a week is laughable when she’s then giving career advice
This is so true! If anyone wants to follow a midwife that has a moral compass and something genuine and interesting to say then Leah Hazard is great. She’s written a book called ‘Hard Pushed’ about the reality of working as a midwife in the NHS. I’d really recommend it. Beautifully written and her passion for the job and the women shines through. Her instagram is so different to Clemmie.Only saw that midwife post this morning.....hahaha I'm a nurse and every single colleague of mine is desperate to get out of nursing and wouldn't encourage anyone to do it because of the stress. Midwifery is worse!
Made me laugh, because like everybody else has said when you work one shift a week any job would seem great. She's so unrelatable it's funny. Stop painting a fake picture Clemmie like it's all unicorns and rainbows when the reality is people are desperate to leave.
Again, really used to like FOD and MOD but they, especially her, get on my tits now.
They live in a massive house, which they are renovating all of it, I mean they're obviously loaded so why the mention of a cheap holiday (france). When most people are renovating they don't go on holiday because they can't afford it. She's always swanning off doing something or other, she never seems to be with her kids! Then Glastonbury tickets on top! They've got some serious money, so do us a favour clemmie and stop trying to pretend you live a normal life like the rest of us, I bet the rest of your colleagues struggle to pay their bills and they do actually work full time!
On a roll now of irritation just looked at MODs post and considering she posted about being a midwife further down in the responses it’s left to other midwives who use instagram to answer general questionsSo true.

And if she’s in such a privileged bubble and lots of her mates are instamums so it normalises it?
Or is she just like ‘duck em! Grab the cash while the going is good!’ ?! I really hope not.
But that’s what it increasingly feels like.
And that incongruence between her women supporting women! Be kind! I’m a humble NHS midwife me. And yet the cynical grabby, sell em tit the gullible fools feels very uneasy. That’s what we’ve all picked up on. How does she rationalise it to herself?

Actions speak louder than words. She doesn’t really care. What’s in it for her to encourage others?On a roll now of irritation just looked at MODs post and considering she posted about being a midwife further down in the responses it’s left to other midwives who use instagram to answer general questions
