Dragging the kids out of school again so she can get some travel content and do a few months in Bali
No way!
Those kids really have to put up with a lot of instability

Yes she pleads poverty for months but is actually off to Bali for a whole school term in the new year. 
Also pretends she has to get permission as though her kids are in state school when actually they go to a £6000 a term private school X3 children.

the money comes from the husband’s family, I’m pretty sure (one of their friends hinted at this to me a few years ago). Would make sense as it allows him to have a hobby job.Yes she pleads poverty for months but is actually off to Bali for a whole school term in the new year.

Glad she’s getting some decent push back in the comments.
And how can she write posts about feeling poor if she has kids at private school?? Entitled cowbag.

The school must be really pissed off with them. It's one thing taking a day or two off but this is the second very long holiday. I know kids can catch up but they are taking the piss a bit. They will have to keep paying the fees to keep the kids' places even when they aren't there, I'm sure.
“Shoe string” my a. She’s so ridiculously privileged she really has no concept of what it means to struggle financially.
Her definition of money troubles isn’t most people’s. Hers is having a successful business all but collapse and, as a result, struggling to maintain the cushy lifestyle to which she’d become accustomed.

She really is the Selfish Mother, isn’t she? Dressing up what is essentially a trip to provide content for her journalism as a ‘life experience’ for her kids.
I saw the post earlier and thought WTF 3 months in Bali??? Wasn’t she unschooling them not so long ago.
If her kids are in private school there is no way they could up sticks last minute and head to Bali. Firstly they’d have to give a term’s notice otherwise they’d still be liable for fees and there will be no guarantee of there being a space to return too
She’s another one who believes her own hype

Starting this reply with ‘Ha’ just says it all about her.
SHOE STRING?!
Saw her mentioned on another thread and came across here to have a snoop. I don’t follow her but I was intrigued because I’ve heard a bit of goss via a friend who lives down south and has spotted her IRL in her shop. Apparently she just has an air of “I’m better than you”. It doesn’t surprise me. Anyone who uses “charity” as a veil to pocket a load of cash for themselves and live a luxury lifestyle in an £800k property is a wanker in my book anyway.
“Shoe string”. Cry me a river.
And she was sneaky enough to delete the post about no summer holiday- she’s a sly witch. Also £30 a day budget- eh I don’t live on £30 a day here?
also she wrote an article about how to have a happy marriage? She’s nearly divorced him god knows how many times?
Are her kids even still in private school? Not like she would announce it if they couldn’t afford it anymore and had had to move them back.
Maybe by ‘unschooling’ she meant ‘un private schooling’…

Absolutely no surprise there. She definitely thinks she’s better than everyone else. And taking a year 8 out for 3 months?!
Only in her head - I think his apparent family money keeps her right there. Imagine the potential lifestyle downgrade if she actually divorced him, the kids are growing up and he wouldn’t be supporting her forever. She might even lose her Babington House membership and have to slum it at a leisure centre.
A couple of months ago, an IGer I follow AnnikiSomerville wrote a piece about the InstaMums. From what I can tell it was a decent balanced piece but sadly I couldn’t read the full article as it was on substack.
Anyway, lots of people came on to say how they felt duped by the Instamums, they’d paid to attend events and treated badly etc - nothing vipersous in my opinion. Honest stuff.
Needless to say old Selfish Mother came on saying how it was a bubble, fun etc and how the comments were all Mean girls on Tattle.Life.
It really got my back up. These were the same people who bought your merch and elevated your delusions of grandeur feeling they had a space to say how they felt and she shot them down rather than say ‘gee, I’m sorry you felt that way - that wasn’t our intention’

I LOVE Anniki's IG stories... they make me laugh so much.
Completely agree with you too.

She’s hilarious! She nails School WhatsApp’s and being Peri… I’m debating on signing up to substack because I actually find her stuff worth reading but it’s a s still a whack at £80 a year
