This is what gets me. No one forces you to have those kids and in fact it’s a bloody good job you did as they’re your meal ticket.
The amount he bemoans doing anything for them or complains about them is disgusting. I hope they all cut him off when theyr older and realise what he posted online about them. If my husband did this I couldn’t stay with him. It’s disrespectful and bleeping weird.

It really annoyed me when he posted on holiday about Clemmie and the kids spending HIS money in souvenir shops.

Oh right the wife who works? The wife who gave you the platform to have a social media following? The kids whose lives you’ve sold for content? Lucky one got diabetes so you could photograph the paramedics and use her condition at every opportunity.

Of course, it’s all his money they’re spending.

🎯 he’s always spoken about money as if he’s the primary breadwinner, Clemmie (for her many flaws) gave them a life beyond their wildest dreams/earning capacity for *years* on end. Her mum seems to be the more generous one (school fees) to boot. Post Clemmie’s whirlwind social media/financial success they’ve both returned to being middle earners so where he gets off on pretending to be bankrolling the whole thing is beyond me? And yet another reason I’d be chucking the bastard in the bin 😂

She can’t earn much can she? She only works a day or two a week I thought? What does that bring in? I have no idea but never thought midwives were rolling in cash.

I’m not saying she’s a big or even main earner, I’m just making the point that I’m sure she has her own money to buy stuff from a souvenir shop.

His brand work, freebies and £££ come from springboarding off her once successful platform and pimping out his kids.

My main point is he acts like he’s got like big fat wallet through no external influence.

I forgot to mention the 'quirky' prints! 😂
And the many fringed lampshades.

I should probably stop myself before I go on a rant about their adults only living room.
It's so blatantly obvious that the home account is entirely curated by the Clemster and FOD only adds his moronic male commentary on interior design as a way to keep it authentic, like he's behind it all and not her.
 
He may very well be earning more than her, but if you’re in a dual income household where both incomes are essential to sustaining everybody in the home it’s a major dick move to make out & continually create content stating that you’re the bill payer. It’s really offensive to his partner, diminishing of her contributions, if not outright misogynistic? Yes she’s awful but she can still be a victim of his tit.

I remember liking one of their light shades until I realised it was extremely expensive

From what he posts it’s bordering on financial control/abuse. His posts are demeaning and degrading. In the extreme it screams coercion and an attempt to control by dictating (publicly) what is/isn’t appropriate for money he claims as his to be spent on.

It’s covert in its subtleness that some people would probably (as a result of internalised misogyny) think he is justified and not see anything wrong with it.

Omg you’ve articulated this so well 👩🏻‍🍳🤌

Once you spot the theme/resentment you can see the venom spilling out “these little squares” (lol) and it’s genuinely chilling. Like ffs you’re an adult man who had kids of his own free will, guess what, you need to pay for them! But guess what, some great news here, you’re not the only one paying for them! And for a lengthy period of their irreplaceable/irreparable childhoods, they were paying for you guys, the adults to have whatever you fancied! The adults tasked with making good choices for them and keeping them safe and mentally well, and maybe even keeping some of their earnings for them to use in adulthood like the real world child actors with laws protecting them get to have?

So maybe go back to therapy to chat this one through FOD as this is not ok!!
 
Oh I hope no-one thinks I was defending him 😳😳😳 absolutely not! I just wondered what they live on now they can’t make so much money from the ‘gram as they used to! If they pissed away all the ££££ they made from selling the kids online then that’s bleeping shameful. That should have been saved for them, not for her fugly outfits and horrible 2018 decor (have they still got the home account? I’m off to look!)

I think he expects his kids to snivel and grovel and show how grateful they are to their wonderful daddy for giving them money and buying them stuff, because he’s been brought up to believe he’s the best thing since sliced bread. But guess what - kids don’t give a crap about you, they’ve got their own life going on. That’s being a parent.

lol you’ve summed this up so perfectly that it’s genuinely put things into perspective after a row with my 14 year old

on a side note words cannot describe how much i hate their tv room with the turquoise walls and yellow sofa 🤮
 
They had £240k in the company account at one point. Took money out to pay for her kitchen update.

Their new house was £15k more than the South London sold for.

He’s always been like this with spending money on the kids. Remember he also posted about taking berries from a pick your own farm car park.

He did a story about giving A a £10 budget for snacks which included buying her own bread.
