Kellogg’s is very local to us.....plus the fact they were sharing on their stories when he first stated all the free cereal he was able to take home with him
It’s bad if he’s claiming to be off with mental health problems that he’s doing all these ads and collabs etc and basically making money whilst claiming sick pay. Who knows what to believe? Playing the mental health card is easy for lots of people because the employers rarely have a leg to stand on because ‘it’s my mental health’ ‘you can’t discriminate’ etc etc.

Just so that I know who to report him to 👍Surely it’d so against his works social media and/or sickness and absence policy to be flaunting himself on social media whilst on the sick. I’ve been off work with mental health related issues in the past, after weeks of not being able to get out of bed or do the school run I did have lovely days at the park etc with my family, however my work would NOT have been impressed if I posted images of this all over social media.

And it's never ending with Dean. Like you say, EVENTUALLY you managed some days out. And those days are extremely important for our mental health. However, Dean has never stopped posting on social media. Theres never been a quiet period that would suggest he was struggling. All the BBQ's, water fights, bike rides, daily trips to tescos, ADS etc on days he was clearly meant to be at work. Then work pull him on it and suddenly, hes been depressed and while signed off, is making money off ADS. It angers me so so much.
That safari day yesterday, all those posts and not a single AD on one of them. I'm sick of the ASA doing nothing. They need held accountable.
 
Some people are very good at seeming okay when really they’re suffering inside, when I had pp depression with my first baby my partner didn’t know until I finally sat down and told him, all my family thought I was okay because I’m such a laid back mum but it took me a full year to take my child out on my own!
But personally I think it’s a load of old tosh! They’ve suddenly ran out of content because Dawson isn’t “so dam tiny” anymore, he’s healthy (even when he’s being crammed into that bloody car seat with the padding and a hat on all day!) and mental health suddenly opens up a lot of doors for them content and collaboration wise..
if it’s genuine I do apologise and wouldn’t wish depression on anyone but it’s quite clear in my eyes what’s going on here..
 
I wish she would spend more time playing with Dawson and encouraging his development and less time “boobing” for her stories cause he really doesn’t seem to be age appropriate with his development, he’s 4 months old now but developmentally he’s still basically newborn😭

He’s never doing tummy time, or activities to encourage him to roll he’s always just laid on his back with barely any head control in her posts.

I feel the same with Hallie too, it’s always so difficult to work out her age cause she doesn’t speak at all and always just seems really spaced out.

Think less Instagram time and more interacting with your kids is needed there😭

I’ve thought this with all their children. I think they are all a little behind where they should be. And I think this stems down to lack social interaction with their parents. Unless they can gain something from Instagram for them they don’t seem to bother. I hate to bad mouth kids because it isn’t their fault!
They way they are teaching Blake to write is completely wrong! And setting him up to struggle in reception class (I am early years fully trained and experienced in this area) And as for Hallie I seriously worry she never speaks (and lets face it there’s not much of their lives we don’t see!!) when the camera is shoved in her face there’s no emotion always looks zoned out? Megan will be like say hello and she looks like she doesn’t know who she is 🤔 Both of the older twos speech is bad for their ages. And as for Dawson I think he is behind but that could be because he was early and poorly but I don’t think they encourage any development from him. It’s a real shame as they come across as quite thick themselves so really what hope do the children have?! 🤦🏼‍♀️ They also always seem to be poorly?! Especially Hallie I would really be worried about that. For someone who preaches breast is best constantly they are poorly children!

I always thought this when they went through the stage of promoting vitamins they where literally the worst family for the job as they’re all always so so sick!

It’s awful I feel so sorry for the kids😢 but like you said if it’s not content for the gram they don’t seem to give a damn

100% this, it makes a mockery out of actual depression/mental health etc and doesn’t look good at all as an employer, previously when I’ve managed staff if someone called in sick their social media would be on the first things I’d check (esp on a Monday morning). ASA are useless.

The happy egg people responded to me, apparently the post is correctly marked as she’s put #gifted (which although not against rules the asa don’t advise the use of #gifted as it is misleading) as the happy egg co allegedly decided to “gift their products to spread joy in these current hard times” or something along those lines.

There we go then, muscle fitness cures depression. The pair of them are despicable. And again, the word AD is nowhere to be seen.

I called bingo on this!! 😡 it’s only been what a week? And since when did she declare she had hit a low? Thought that was dean?! 🤔 so what they both hit an all time low, at the same time... just in time for their next gifted/Ad/collaboration 👀
 
It’s clearly another tactic because content is repetitive and drying up (it’s been addressed here and they obviously look). When I am at my worst with depression, I can barely get out of bed in the morning or muster enough strength to have a shower, I certainly wouldn’t be parading myself and my life all over Instagram for freebies. Even on my best days of living with depression, that would be the last thing I’d want to do.
 
My 2 year old who is a couple of months younger then Hallie speaks better than Hallie and also better than Blake. It's worrying. It's really hard to make out what Blake is saying he speaks in a very babyish tone and doesn't appear to say words correctly which is worrying at 4 I think.

It also makes me laugh that Dean refers to Blake as a toddler (he put something on his stories the other day when they were up that hill about it being hard with 2 toddlers or something). Blake is NOT a toddler. Although that may explain his lack of speech and language development as they clearly treat him like a baby still!
 
Wonder what clothes of Dawson's she was selling. Did anyone happen to see? Curious if she was selling gifted items.
