I think it's well written. I admit that I too would have been seduced into also thinking I needed to buy said sleeping aid for £150 or X or Y items.

I bought it all 🙈. The £140 sleepyhead was the biggest waste of money, my son hated it and would cry as soon as I put him in it. Can’t even shift the thing on fb marketplace now 🙄. I have more than one Mama jumper too 🙈.

Thanks for writing. Hopefully it will be widely shared. There was another article along the same lines recently shared on this site.

You see now I have a soft spot for MP. She’s messaged me numerous times, made me laugh, been helpful and generally lifted my day a number of times with humour and compassion. She is open about ads and if pulled up on one does not block and delete, she use the info (pampers and conversations about washable nappies and biodegradable products etc) her ads are often ok and her house is not gifted white goods, gifted tiles, gifted sofas etc. She is careful that products are vaguely relatable (crisps?!) I don’t mind because I know what’s going on. She generally shows herself wearing clothes from monki etc which some weeks I can afford. No sleepyhead or deliveroo shoved in your face. All in all MP has been positive in my life to follow. God knows her real ness of breastfeeding and body shape and clothing saved me in my dark post baby hours. I’m sorry but saintly MOD does none of this.
MP has also addressed kids, photos of kids, safety issues etc, all these things she discusses and comes back to. She’s not perfect, but if MOD did half what she does I’d have a lot more respect for her.

Totally agree. MP operates in a totally different way to MOD. I have no problem with ads anyway so long as they’re clearly marked. That way you know what you’re getting and you can choose to unfollow is you wish.
It’s this new ‘press discount’ that I’m having trouble with. They aren’t journalists and it’s just a way of getting round the ad guidelines. And they’re still doing the ‘can anyone recommend’ bollocks which is just a blatant blag (MOD and DLAM, I’m looking at you).

I couldnt agree more ! Dont get me wrong though she would advertise ice cubes if it gave her more popularity .... but she is so down to earth , doesnt advertise her kids and is protective of her privacy . If you message her she will reply too
 
I really do believe as someone that was sucked into being influenced by instagram Influencers so many time (so much makes up that was totally wrong for my skin, clothes that weren’t me etc) that anything that you haven’t purchased with your own money in full should have

THIS IS AN ADVERT

Written at the start of a post / clearly on stories.

Only when you have paid for something can you fully assess if it is value for money and a good purchase and recommend.

But that’s never going to happen. We get pr gifts / pr discount / gifted / jorno discount bollocks.

Yes, you are right, MOD could learn a lot from her. But for me she seems to keep slipping up and I suppose whether its declared well or not, I think I'm just sick of influencers. Getting free clothes, free trips and free food.....I'm just done with them. I'm a world where people are in so much poverty, these people who already seem to have a lot, keep getting more.

I agree, I’m pretty disappointed that the lovely platform of instagram has become a pit of vacuous snakes literally trying to make money out of people. It’s so vile.

So many influencer mamas say things like. Oh it hurts my mama heart, or it makes my mama heart happy, because they obviously have more empathy all round just.because.they.are.a.mama. grr.

Totally agree with what you’re saying and that it is rude to people who aren’t parents. Although, since having a baby, I do get a lot more upset about anyone suffering. It’s definitely softened me.
 
I love they’ve painted the cupboard Farrow and Ball Deceased Elephant.

I have that too, I cry at everything. But I would never term it my mama heart. It’s a classic sign of instawanker.
