I know we don’t comment on children on here (absolutely rightly), but we do comment on parenting. In her latest stories it looks like the family diet of pastries and junk food is having a negative effect on the eldest child, as he looks like he’s becoming quite heavy. If she’s not careful, her children will end up obese like her. In my opinion, she can feed herself what she likes and end up whatever size she likes, but to do the same to her children is tantamount to abuse/neglect. I hope she starts buying healthier food for them all.
Edit: then I clicked onto the next story and it’s about queuing for 25 minutes to feed the children sausage rolls! FFS.

I worry that as soon as they give up the day job they pile on weight because they a) want to fit into the "body positivity/slummy mummy" category and b) they lose all proper get up and go with self care because they can literally sit on their backside and get free stuff all day.

I like Tobyandroo but do notice a lot of mummy bloggers pile on the pounds as soon as it becomes a full time "job". I wonder why? I know she is aware of her weight gain too from previous posts so I hope she finds the motivation to get on a healthier path soon.

She's unbelievable! So condescending about not sending the kids back to school etc then Adam swans off to the pub. Such a bloody hypocrite
And she’ll be first in line to take a free holiday somewhere with the kids in tow if it’s offered but “school isn’t safe”.

It’s common knowledge that she is “homeschooling” so she can do more blog stuff and not have to bother with kids being in school so she can drag them away to stuff and not be hassled about absence.
She’s also loathed by a lot of the homeschool community as are the other other big accounts who’ve jumped on the #homeschool bandwagon for the cash and clicks.

She and I are in a blogging group and we fell out when I called her out for follow and unfollow nonsense on Instagram.

Yip, I’m a blogger and a homeschooler but we do it properly full time. People like her piss me off no end. It’s not about trips and PR opportunities and she’s done a tit job of homeschool in lockdown, god help her doing it full time and properly. The EWO and homeschool person from the LEA who visit to check she’s all set up properly and that the kids are actually being homeschooled, when she takes the children off roll to homeschool them won’t be impressed that she’s a blogger, and make allowances for that. I know that much!
I don’t comment here often but I do read and she’s one of my pet hate bloggers.

It is the BoPo stuff that gets me - that dress I age is stunning on the grid but it is all about posing - it makes her look three sizes smaller than she is

Yeh find all the BoPo stuff a bit difficult....I’m not what I would class as super skinny or fit, but I’m a happy size 12 and I try to exercise 2-3 times a week.
Like most people I put on a few extra lbs during lockdown...and when I saw the scales creeping up and my clothes got tighter I just cut back on the booze and the cakes (I work for the NHS and we had A LOT of delicious cakes donated!) I’m not body obsessed and I don’t berate myself if I eat chocolate or crisps or have a gin, I just try and do it in moderation. She’s posted again and again about struggling with how her body looks and trying to feel good about her looks, yet she never seems to do anything about it?!
Sorry if I sound like an utter cow, I just think that with the amount of followers she has she should be a bit more honest about what she eats and what she feeds her kids, and maybe set a better example.

how can she promote iconic 🤦🏻‍♀️ not exactly in the know with makeup by the looks of her! if anyone buys it based on her AD id be very shocked

Has she said she plans to homeschool post corona then?
She said really early on into lockdown it was something they are considering. I imagine months down the line that will be sacked off 😂 she doesn’t seem to be coping well mentally with it i don’t think

The fact she is having to drink prune juice shows how unhealthy her food choices are.

Hate to comment on a child...however they want to be careful with their oldest’s weight! Going down the same path as her!
Obviously feeding anyone junk food isn’t great but I also think he’s at the awkward age where they grow out before they grow up, my sisters all did this and one of thems a bodybuilder now. I just stayed short

Aside from anything, sharing your topless children in swimwear with such a big following on a public social media account feels so wrong and irresponsible. Hasn’t she seen about brummymummy kids on porno sites?

This!! I have a private account & I'm very picky about who follows me & I would never put up pics like this of my son. These kids have no say about what she puts online, it's awful

There really is no need for that at all. Children can be chubby! My girls used to get chubby before they sprouted. Puppy fat is totally normal.

Commenting on a child’s weight is just beyond the pale.

Hugely inappropriate to have photos of children in their swimwear on a public account. I thought she had more sense but obviously not.

children can be chubby yes, but she clearly doesn’t have a good diet herself and she needs to be careful for her kids.

Don’t wrap up your fat phobia in concern for the children. They shouldn’t be discussed. You say you are concerned for children living their lives on line without convent but still feel you can discuss them. Not acceptable.

I haven’t said anything about their lives online?
No fat phobia here!
 
Her gallery wall is the most tasteless thing I’ve ever seen. By definition it’s supposed to be a collection of memories/ paintings/ heirlooms/ family pics not some hideous prints ordered online that literally look like a car showroom 😬
