What annoys me is she is a great influencer. The ads are engaging, and she makes great content about food and fashion which are obviously things she is passionate about. So whyyyyy does her poor child need to be included in the content? Do these influencers get extra or something exposing their children??
This is so true, she mentioned she worked in food marketing iirc? As you say, she could easily so content without using her daughter (not like a lot of other parent influencers who don't really have other ideas) which almost makes me more angry. She is intelligent and shouldn't be putting her child online like this

Not sure how she can be accused of not parenting AND sharing too much tbh. I think it’s a given she isn’t sharing a lot of her life as a mother and personally I don’t think you should have to completely exclude your family life from your content when you’re an influencer. I’m always curious about other people’s approach to parenting. BUT you do need to be extremely sensitive to your child’s privacy and safety. I can’t see any reason at all to share a child’s face online or even their name tbh. Or make it so bloody obvious where she lives. I think she thinks she’s being careful, shielded by a mix of privilege and naïveté. Also a bit of pridefulness of how nice her life is that means she can’t resist, and tbh a bit of greed too because she knows she’s likely to get free kids clothes etc. if she shares her less.

Your first sentence makes 0nsense to me? She obviously does the fun parenting and has loads of help with the boring parts I guess.
If you look anywhere online about child safety (loads of people have posted awareness messages in various threads across tattle) of weirdos using AI etc with any children's images to make God knows what. Noone at all should be putting images of their children online. It hasn't been highlighted in this thread specifically, bit she can't be that naive

Saff does not parent. She has a nanny a lot more than she lets on, used a sleep trainer and has a lot of help (no shade I have lots of family help). Her daughter is only 2 and she’s upped the nanny time already. Saff doesn’t concern herself with anything that would be hard work. Her child is an accessory. I actually think Saff is a great influencer, she’s damn good at it as someone above said. However mother of the year she is not. Margot is just dragged along for the ride and exposed for content with no regards for her safety.

My biggest issue is children used as child labour online and the baby/child saftey..there has been documantaries about the saftey risk of exposing children online for so many reasons.. i can't believe Saff makes it so obvious where she lives, goes ect. So risky.

Yes I agree with all of this. I once saw the children of an influencer in Dublin with their granny. And it was so weird to recognise them like that shouldn't be the case. Like I got a pang of anxiety.

Exactly, and I assume she'll do like her friend Gabriella when she moves and get the children's room designs all gifted so film it all

Do you genuinely think you can tell how much she parents from her content alone? What people put online is just part of their lives. We’re getting into delulu parasocial territory if you think you actually know her whole life. If she showed all the parenting she does we’d be telling her to stop showing her kid even more than we are now. Anyway, putting aside the dangers of shilling your child online, using childcare does not mean you don’t parent?! We all think she’s good at the ads and content… that is real work and influencers shouldn’t pretend it isn’t. In that respect I think she’s quite honest. She’s said herself she needs childcare to produce high quality ads etc.

Narcs will show the best parts of their lives to the world and their followers. I don't believe for a moment she misses sharing anything that makes her look like a hands on mum. The woman cuts the poor kids hair so short because she can't be bothered to keep it looking nice! I understand toddlers are wild, but if I had a little girl I would love styling their hair even if it's ruined after 5 seconds. As someone mentioned above she's like an accessory to her that she can put in pretty outfits and then grabs the tablet once she starts getting difficult.

Also sharing house stuff is so scary! I remember seeing a story about a celeb being robbed and they owned up and said it's because of all the content shared of their home, and when they were going to events or holiday. The burglers knew the layout and the when they weren't going to be home to strike. She might only live in a 'tiny flat', but she owns a lot of valuable jewellery and designer clothes!!

She has had Margot's hair cut to level it up and get a shape she said. Baby toddler girlies Ms age have hair that is not shaped if you leave it, almost mullety, and Ms hair is dead straight so would be obviously no style.

I left my daughters hair until she was over 3! For several reasons, it was difficult for me to get into hairdressers with my other children, my daughters hair was so lovely big soft curls and I couldn't bare to cut it!!! She wore it very traditionally with a bow on the side, or pigtails.

As for the home security/saftey.that would be my worry. By showing the world items, & inside the home...easy for the wrong sort. I remember a femalw influence last year wasnt it cleaned out, she had a lot of designer items.

And with Saff..who her father is. He is pretty high profile- working with the King. So.many nutters about.

I actually really like M’s hair. It reminds me of my daughter’s hair when she was the same age. Her hair didn’t grow very quickly and was very fine, so I little short bob was perfect, and super cute!

Also, if I was a burglar I’d be quite happy with a few of her fancy perfumes and posh handbags! I’d probably make a beeline for some of her posh crockery too. 😜

Not only big account Influencers are at a saftey risk.

I followed a very flash braggy young man.

A couple of years ago he got mugged in London for his Rolex. He used to show himself in Harrods buying his Rolex's, expensive everything in London..all the designer brand tags on his IG. Real time his wherabouts socially..then the mugging happened.

When I first came across Gabriella I was shocked she was posting in real time wearing thousands of pounds including a Rolex ! going to work, doing her morning Fit check at a London station.!

Actually. Years ago before social media days. I knew a woman mugged near Shepherds Bush for her Cartier watch, she was followed going to her car, had her children in the back of her car, they pulled up beside the passenger side - car window was down he lent in and tried to pull it off, they didn't suceed because of Cartiers metal strap clasp isnt easy to open. Was a very scary event and shook them all up.

Didn't mention that the guy that got mugged - bruises, and hurt too he showed his injuries - he gave a warning to his followers - a post about basically don't brag your wares and post in real time..well mate, only the stupid need that info.

I also wonder in a mugging or home break in or any personal theft. The insurance company may delve into your Socials. If they are open and stuff about high value items and real time blogging has taken place, I doubt they'd pay out.

We do only see snap shots.

Saff is highly privileged because she has a lot of family support and money to bring in assistance and specialists when needed.

Anyone who has had a toddler before can see that she clearly gets a lot of help, you can tell just by how much footage she is able to film either alone or out and about without her child.

I don’t agree with showing Margot, and I think influencing is a vapid career, but it’s still her job. If she pays for childcare to do her job, how is that different to someone working in accounting and using a nursery?

I also think Margot’s hair is cute. What a weird criticism.

I always think that about influencers when they post about being on holiday and their home presumably being empty. I remember years ago reading an article by the restaurant critic Jay Rayner jn which he said he always published articles in advance so it was never clear when he was on holiday for this exact reason

I heard insurance companies look into Social Media, and if burgled when away and it is obviously published home is vacant on SM they try to get out of paying

What I'd be more worried about is my child's saftey. Too many nutjobs around for my liking.

I never gave away on my SM what nursery or schools mine went to when they were young. I have been very cautious and have zero regrets. My children are my everything, one error or bad judgement will effect a child into their adult years and possibly forever.
