Yeah I noted that daughter now can't eat family snack food, wtaf is that about?!!! So she's excluded from the family in this respect - by her own parent - this gives me proper shudders.

Also, the gif of the pink blob repeatedly stuffing a burger in its mouth, blatant direct negative eating messaging to his own child!!

Kids are bored, confused, worried, being told and expected to rewire their daily life with no definitive end in sight... it's a lot to wrap your head around as an adult, but I know, Simon, now berate your daughter on your weird Instagram page with equally weird followers for snacking - it's a horror story tit show 🙁

She’s too young to have to worry about budgeting, yes it’s important to learn about money. But she’ll soon learn that from whatever her first job is or when she does to uni. Can Simon imagine being in a house 24 hours a day at that age? Because I can’t. We snacked all the time at school, just buy more food! Glen loves Aldi she could have gone and spent £10 of her own money and bought double that for the girls. Are the twins next?

Mentioned this on an earlier thread but my comment was followed by some freaking hilarious but unrelated comments which totally changed the convo topic 😂... A little while ago I saw the eldest daughter’s depop account and found it really strange that someone so young would be selling their clothes? Wondering if this was another strange parenting experiment destined for the ‘gram?

I'm sorry you didn't get much of a response before! For me personally, I don't find it particularly strange because so many of the "influencers" are doing clothes selling, that young people may want to give it a try themselves. I would expect an adult to oversee their selling activities though, as there are all sorts of potential pitfalls with internet selling.
 
I also want to say to this young girl, if you are told about what's written here by mates or maybe you check the page out yourself - while it's a lot to comprehend - there is never any negative judgement towards you 🥰 you do you, eat the snacks, do class if and when you can and dye your hair rainbow if you fancy it! 👍🏼💜
 
Unpopular opinion but I thought it was quite a good idea? It's not like she's not allowed meals so she'll still be getting 3 (probably pretty good if they're rich) meals a day. At that age I'd have enjoyed the responsibility of budgeting and choosing my own snacks, although admittedly mine would've been a lot unhealthier.
We never really had snacks in our house because my mum always said if you have a proper breakfast /dinner /tea then you don't need them, but my friend's little brother used to often come home from school and eat 5 weetabix as a snack. Cereal and bread presumably is in their standard shop but it's still probably a bit of fun for her to have her own special snack supply that her sisters can't touch.
Idk, I thought it seemed a reasonable thing to do and a good way of teaching what money is worth 🤷‍♀️

I agree that it's cool to buy your own snacks (I guess that is what pocket money is for) and when I was Anya's age I spent 90% of my pocket money on chocolate / girls' magaziney but I don't get why a girl who's growing should buy her own snacks ( vegetables and toast) if she's more hungry than her parents / 5year old twins at the moment and why they simpy don't buy a bit more during their weekly food shop. They can still talk to her and explain: Hey we can't buy 10 packets of crisps because that is a) unhealthy af and b) not an adequate every day snack and c) super rude if we buy it on Saturday for the whole family and you eat 9/10 on Monday but if their child is hungry and needs a snack between lunch and dinner I don't get why they don't talk to her about what she can eat in between (bread, carrots and houmus, fruit or whatever, scrambled eggs) or teach her about what kind of food keeps you full for longer.

I would definitely choose a different opportunity to teach my kid about the value of money... And not shame her about her food intake during a world wide pandemic, while not being able to go to school, see her friends, do sports, possibly worrying about everything that's going on....

In theory the idea is not wrong and I agree with you on that, but in this case there were several problems with the execution of it.
1. We are all in varying degrees of lockdown and we have all been asked to shop alone. This wasn't a necessary trip by any sense so that is at best a breach of consideration for others, a real micky taking.
2. Simon returned to instagram saying he was in it for the lols. In this case he has taken his lols at his daughter's expense, repeatedly shaming her throughout the video.
3. As a young teenager she is most likely at a vulnerable age, compounded by the confusions and restrictions of lockdown, so belittling her is reprehensible. For example: trying to talk her out of branded stuff when he's built the family image on branded stuff; telling her she is a middle class stereotype for wanting olives when it's ok for him to have them; telling the world she's thought of keeping the money and spending it on clothes; publishing a picture of her hiding, etc etc.
4. He says he was quite impressed by what she bought without parental intervention yet he has clearly intervened throughout the shop as he has admitted to trying to talk her out of branded stuff and tellingher she can'taffordthe olives.
5. He did this on stories, not on his grid, where it cannot be commented on, he cannot be challenged, and it will disappear.
6. He could have done this as a classroom exercise by doing an online basket without taking it to checkout. That would have been a good way to teach about budgeting, branding, quality, quantity, priorities etc.
 
She’s what, 13 or 14, doesn’t need to be worrying about having food in the house for snacks or wondering how to stretch her money to buy a loaf of bread. Or to be told that she’s eating too much family food.

When it’s safe to do so, bring her to the supermarket and ask her to work out which items are best value - the large carton of washing power or the two smaller, etc. Here’s £10 a week - pay for your hair-dyes, cinema trips, shop on the way home from school, etc. Show her how to use the washing machine and do her own laundry. Encourage her to clean her room instead of leaving it to the weekly cleaner. Have her do chores around the house. All this will help her become an independent adult.
 
I’ve been following these threads since before Glen left Instagram. It was her that brought me here as the ‘caring midwife’ #womensupportingwomen sat badly with me and it was a revelation to discover others felt the same.

I always felt Simon was a bit of a knob but pretty harmless. BUT his insistence on continuing on and on and on with Instagram. Trying to get sponsors, attention, moan about his family, show off etc etc

AND then now this disgusting shaming of his daughter around food. He’s a twit. Glen was right.

I feel sorry for his daughters. I think he needs professional help.
 
I’m just lost with the snacks - she bought pasta but what goes on it? Is she allowed to use the family pasta sauce? She bought bread but same question - can she use the family butter and/or jam? The peppers have a reduced sticker on them so likely going off soon - was that explained to her?

I won’t even comment on the “branded” part other than to type #mccain #dorsetcereal #supergashoes #destinology #marksandspencer . Want me to go, FOD? If I, your sheep follower, is buying it off a swipe up or whatever then branded is good, yes? (Ok I did comment, oops.)
 
When I was younger money was tight my parents were very strict with things like biscuits sweets etc
I realised as I got older that my mother had bulimia she would binge then purge with laxatives. In those days there wasn’t the awareness there is now, she thought she was so fat but must have been at most a size 14

My brother and I who both have weight problems think it stemmed from that tight control and once we started earning and living independently there was a sense of “ no one can’t tell me what I can’t have and I have my own money to buy anything I want”

his post pissed me off on so many levels

But I think it’s his arrogance that disgusts me most, that entitled attitude where he just brushes off anything anyone says with that stupid smug look on his face

FOD doesn’t come across as likeable in any form. Laughs, sneers and jeers at his family under the guise of humour. Always tried to outdo MOD, anything she did, he tried to do better - number of followers, book, designed a piece of birthday jewellery for her just as she was launching a jewellery collaboration, always tries to infer he’s the more involved parent.

He’s throwing everything he can think of at `Instagram these days - playroom organisation, dogs, daughter eating them out of house and home, imaginative dad making a see-saw in the forest, outnumbered by his daughters, future interiors projects, new bed linen, stupid weather forecasting story, showing a vase collection, moaning about draughty house, showing off new mass produced boring prints And now he’s such a great cook with expensive saucepans that look like they hadn’t been used before.

Oh fair enough, I hadn't considered the whole he's built their brand on being middle class and so it's unfair to judge his daughter for it. Think I was imagining it as though my parents had done that, in which case not buying branded stuff would be our norm
