sounds like you two have some unfinished business to sort out
I've always thought highly of MP she seems like she has her screwed on

What the fuck is CB on about in that post? Is that her reaction to someone questioning the £300 shoes when she’s is debt?
Her stories about it were threatening and aggressive too.
Her stories about it were threatening and aggressive too.
I used to enjoy following all the instamums...and tthought FOD was hilarious! When I first discovered them all it was amazing!!! But now theyve gone all a bit too preachy and cliquey and showey offey and always trying to give some sort of advice! When at the beginning they were all just sharing their lives, and troubles and woes and it was funny. But now it's like they think we want advice or to know what holidays to go on, no thanks, I'll never be able to afford that!. Im still following cos I'm so damn nosey (and love seeing how other people live even though I get house envy, face envy, job envy, everything envy) it's still interesting, right!

Love a hate watch ? I think there’s only a few I care about.
Her rant was very good and so true, I watch a few people with special needs kids, came across them and I love the stories, love the kids, I’m truly invested and yet all you have is the same people shouting out the same shitty flat lay in the gang perfect squares. Why doesn’t MOD and FOD make some new friends or offer up their week away occasionally to some less fortunate people? Or big tit Clemmie T offer up her new breast pump to someone who needs it when she’s done with it rather than flogging it on gumtree? I’ve tried to give away loads of my baby stuff to people, but I don’t really have the platform or followers so ends up in the charity shop.

Oh I thought today was - “I’m just struggling with instagram today so I’m going to not post/story for a week or so and go to my safe space, I don’t care about the algorithm, I just want to get back to being me on here”

I don't think CB is at all aware how she comes across, I don't follow her but went looking after reading this, she's very aggressive. Seems to me within this spat, they both have points that are good and bad, but CB's argument is lost by her main form of defense being purely to attack.

Let’s get this straight- muminthmadhouse is a total Fanny and only gets followers for this kind of shit and buys a lot of followers too - ie followers but no likes on Instagram - also she has started the thread on here, she’s clearly @instawankery who started the discussion.
Candice is a bully and all the girls with the white priviledge are desperate for her to be friends with her - read the comments and the shares! Oh candice - you’re amazing!? How is she amazing? She started a fight with a nobody on insta? If and I do believe she has been in debt, I’d understand if she was buying £80 shoes but £300 shoes- get outta here.
Her post is what my a level English teacher would have called - bollocks, uses a lot of flowery bloggy language- no substance, she’s a writer don’t you know and better than EVERYBODY in the whole world. You know what? I like confidence but I don’t think she’s as confident as she makes out, otherwise she’d just let this stuff slide over her!

The amount of mums I've seen bad mouthing this forum last couple of days ? I'm pretty sure they agree with a lot of it but would never want to say in fear of being pushed out the cliques!
And they all want to be seen as women supporting women ? bore off!

CB is a nasty piece of work whenever she gets called out. Last year she was banging on about all the middle class insta mums and how it was hard for her because she didn’t fit the mould/diversity/ what about the non white non middle class mums, then as soon as she got an agent she was right in there with all of them being every bit as nauseating as the rest of them.
Those shoes are ugly. So is the code switching to intimidate, but both her and her husband have done it before. I think the other instamums like keeping her on side to show off how woke they are. She plays the game as much as all of them.

Mp and I have had various discussions, we follow each other and even when we have disagreed she’s hasn’t shown any of the behaviour being discussed above.
Sorry, haven’t seen that at all from her [emoji2372]
I am disappointed (but not shocked AT ALL) over the privilege that’s going to be at CB. I hope Anna pulled out for the right reasons.

Yeah MOD’s comment is a doozy. It’s ‘the misconception of IG and other people’s perceptions’ that make the Instamums come off as they do. I think my eyes have rolled right out of my head.
It’s thanks to them, who will grab any freebie that’s slung their way that’s turned IG into a fucking cesspit of ads and child exploitation. They make me a sick, the lot of them.

Brummy Mummy is the worst for this. There’s no way she has sex with her husband.

^Are they pulling up the drawbridge to assist in this very complex process of coming of IG and finding themselves? ?
Clemmie T's new list about her identity as an influencer is interesting.
There are bits I agree with but I think advertising is a shit industry designed to make people feel inadequate in order to take their money. In my mind all that's happened is she took an honest way of allowing new mums to share the reality of parenting via Instagram and monetised it, through making new mums feel inadequate so they can be sold stuff. Making money is fine but I don't think this is ethical, especially when you are essentially trading your kids' childhood.

Style me Sunday did a post marketing skiing in the name of inclusivity. ‘Every single person has a right to enjoy it.’ Powerful stuff...breaking down barriers of privileage by erm...spunking shit loads of money on a skiing holiday.
Yes! I've noticed the new trend of doing that and it's often paired with accompanying pictures of themselves sitting makeup free in their lounge gear with a brew and watching Emmerdale stating that they are "different" from most of the other instamums and they are now taking a (day) break from posting as "it's good for the soul". Such posts are often met with adoration and squeals of "omg you are so honest and relateable" and the vomit emote posts are swiftly deleted.

Just checked - she did put it in her story- what a fud!
Why do they all hang around / holiday together? Prob because most 'normal' people find them utterly ridiculous IRL and give them a wide berth! Has anyone seen that ridiculous gaggle of perimenopausal women, prancing around a wet Cornish beach this morning in Joules swimsuits and wellies! Who the feck is actually interested / influenced by that nonsense! Surely there's a "W1A", spoof docu / sitcom just waiting to be made about this insane industry! Would be classic viewing. Alan Partridge would appear relatively mainstream by comparison.....

I love the way she talks very frankly about her experience of racism (and this needs to be done which is why I am a bit gutted at how it has turned out) but why this issue is turning into one of race is beyond me, unless there is some back story between CB and that particular mu m. One person commented on 'white fragility' whatever that means. For what it's worth I think it is great the way Candice spoke in the past about the realities of Insta, she was very frank about it being a dog eat dog world and at times nasty, but her OTT aggression and lack of professionalism has killed it for me.
I think her husband is her weakest link. She comes across as articulate and well spoken and he starts talking and gibbering and it really lowers the tone IMO. He has also shown a very aggressive side and at the time I remember wondering why CB thought it was even a remotely good idea to put him out there along side her. He also seems to be trying to do a FOD with his 'bewildered' facial expression.

Lifeasourlittlefamily is weirdly compelling in its banality. She works the same cycle of drivel every week. Coffee, camera facing shoes, 'it's chilly willy,' Zara, excited about the school run on Fridays, Date night, get excited about something happening in 8 months time, rinse and repeat. It never ever diverts from this schedule EVER. She needs to mix things up a bit by waking up in a puddle of vomit or something.
