I am no longer on Instagram so don’t see the posts. What an absolute prick to put all the out there. I’d be horrified if my husband posted online stuff I worried about.FOD continues to be a boundary violating freak posting horrible content about his family - both a list of things he thinks Clemmie worries about including is she fat & do her friends even like her, and then repeatedly shaming them all for being materialistic as he’s transcended into a new state of being where the material things he advertises (the hideous retina burn tv & some tit cycling holiday) no longer appeal
He continues to age like milk
Is this his attempt to be relatable. duck off.Thanks for the thread @Rosieee and for the title @Bizziebody!
No recap would be complete without a re-post of the (since deleted) list of what Simon thinks is Clemmie's "mental load", but is really an incredible insight into his perspective on his wife's character, and a display of his ignorance on what actually defines the mental load.
For the second time this year, Simon has told us he doesn't want or need any "stuff". Let's follow along and see how well he embraces the zero consumer goods mentality through the remainder of 2023 and into the new year!
Wow. Just wow. Figures why it was deleted. How can he still get ad deals escapes me.Thanks for the thread @Rosieee and for the title @Bizziebody!

He said he bought a dire pit for his parents because the price was so low but I'm sure he also mentioned buying threeThat reminds me, at the start of 2022, he told everyone his priority list for things that he wanted to do around the house that year.
Thought I'd revisit it two years on and see how he's got on
- Utility room/pantry (level floor, tiling, plastering, units, underfloor heating, plumbing, radiators, storage)
I don't think he's done any of this. - Start on basement (make a lot of storage/revamping)
His cycling "pain cave" is done, not sure about the other basement rooms (probably chock-full of stuff still)- Plant the garden & do gravel area with raised stepping stones & fire pit & more raised beds at side & lighting
He had a partnership for the planting and I think he said he'd bought more than one fire pit, he got gifted at least one outside light- Lots of fixing jobs around the place
Probably not done much of this or he'd have posted about it- Redo some things already done (bored/damaged)
Don't think anything's been re-done except twins' beds. Re-doing things because you're bored doesn't sound very "simple life".- Repainting or touch up cabinets in the downstairs Herringbone kitchen (maybe)
Not mentioned again since the backlash he got
I know this is a typo but love the idea of FOD having a dire pit - where all his Instagram posts go to die while Mummy FOD pats him on the head and tells him how proud she is of him.He said he bought a dire pit for his parents because the price was so low but I'm sure he also mentioned buying three

He doesn’t seem to realise he has encouraged this behaviour and is now reaping the rewardsThe twins sound absolutely awful. Not their fault, a result of the dreadful parenting they’ve had. One of my kids is about the same age and would never consider doing half the things the girls do. He’s no angel but he’s learned to show basic respect to belongings and other people’s time. I know being a twin would be a big factor, having a partner in crime etc, but surely by their age getting out the door on a Monday morning shouldn’t be such a fiasco. I shall now unclutch my pearls
