I thought Hungermama had taken the kids with her?Similar to Hungermama, who has tried lots of random things and now gone back to the US minus her kids on what looks like a whim.
I thought she had them too. I knew there were issues with the dad, understandably- you can’t just relocate accross the Atlantic. I could never move to the states without my kidsNo, they’re still living with their father in the UK. Just visiting in school holidays: there’s an ongoing court case over residency.
Anniki’s name rang a bell and I was trying to remember why. Then I finally remembered - she used to be all over the Selfish Mother Insta account in its heyday. She used to comment all the time, and also wrote for the very short-lived “Insta-zine” that Molly hoped would be a new frontier in social media journalism but died on its arse pretty quickly.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’
Just saw this list from mr bingo, 52 feels relevant here!
just watched it. Wtf?!?! This is beyond embarrassing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone so brazenly ask before! If you can’t afford it love, don’t goGross, absolutely gross. Read the room. You want a nice holiday from your holiday. I really hope nobody gets in touch. Stupid cow.
Same! It’s delusion off the scale!bleeping hell
I’ll give it to her, it must be lovely to have that level of delusion and no shame.
