I’m sorry but not making a social media post about a subject doesn’t mean they’re ignorant or in the wrong. There has been so many mixed messages and mixed explanations about what people should/shouldn’t be posting today and it’s constantly been changing. You can educate yourself without putting it all over Instagram.

If he wanted to ignore the issue, thats fine. But he drew attention to it and basically said in a post (now deleted) posting on my platform won't help so why should I bother.

My take on today has been that you pause your privileged white lifestyle for 24 hours and let platforms from people of colour have the majority voice. In your downtime you can read up on history, current experiences, politics or whatever takes your fancy which educates you. If you want to post then try direct it to this cause.

I understand with freedom of speech etc we are under no obligation to adhere to any of this so he is free to carry on as normal but he is the one who brought it up with his (now deleted) post about the hate he was getting?

But this is what contributes to the problem.. people not speaking up or feeling like they don’t have to or that it’s not their issue. It should be everyone’s issue, you can’t tell me he didn’t see it flooding the news and all social media. if he didn’t want to join the movement he should’ve at least respected it for ONE DAY and not posted his usual bullshit . And sorry but he sounds like a self entitled little prick if you ask me saying people posting isn’t going to change anything. duck off brett.

Also I bet no one has called him a racist . Let’s see the screenshots Brett cause you chat absolute tit.

This is completely off topic but does anyone else find the teen mom talk insta a bit strange 😂. I mean, as soon one of the teen mums post something, she’s screen shot and posted it on her page within seconds, she must be constantly looking at each of their pages. I also find it weird how she takes their videos aswell for example posting charlottes girls walking. I hope she got permission from Charlotte to take it and then post it. I know they have lots are followers and when you post pics/videos of your child that’s the risk your taking. But I just find it strange 🤷🏼‍♀️

She says she wont remove anything that was posted on Instagram that were public. Shes wants easy followers
 
No, it’s about giving up your social media and joining a movement to show how black people are muted. Posting a picture half naked is very disrespectful.
It really isn't. It's about the sharing of information being at the forefront of everybody's feeds. Which is why it's also being said that posting a black square with no context, no information, no links etc isn't helpful. It's not about being muted at all. In fact, many organisations e.g. UK Black Pride have specifically asked people to NOT be silent and not use it as a "day off".
 
I respect this but it's also important to remember that the rate of deaths and serious injuries in infants and children has fallen massively since 20 years ago through what we know now regarding e.g. sleep safety, feeding guidelines, car seat safety. The internet wasn't at everybody's fingertips 20 years ago and social media was almost non-existent so whilst it seems like things never happened 20 years ago, it's really just that it wasn't reported or shared nationwide. The evidence speaks for itself. "I did it and my kids are fine" is just not an OK attitude to have. Me now know that rear facing until 4 reduces the risk of death by collision by 500%, we know weaning before 6 months increases the risk of life-long medical issues, we know that overheating is a huge factor in deaths of infants (pram and cot death) as is leaving them to sleep in car seats for prolonged periods of time, we have recorded infants dying by strangulation or suffocation from cot bumpers time and time again.

I do get what you're saying. I really do. But it's a matter of know better, do better. I promise that using a safe car seat, weaning when baby has a mature gut and following safe sleep guidelines really doesn't compromise a kid's childhood. 😊 I don't think anybody should be slated for doing something that's unsafe - but I do think KNOWINGLY ignoring safety is unforgivable. And honestly, if you were told that rear facing is 500% safer, ignored it, and your child suffered a life long injury or worse, would you still ignore the guidelines? Probably not. You'd never forgive yourself. No parent would. 🤷‍♀️ None of these parents who lose their children in tragic accidents would still do the same thing if they could go back. 🤷‍♀️


Totally agree with you and that’s what I mean that we learn and things can be prevented. It’s the way people go about things sometimes slagging and slating, I mean if people are that concerned maybe pm or something and if they get a snotty comeback or the advice is ignored then fair game.
As for the car seat thing I agree also and who knew keeping your child in that direction, something so simple would be so massive in children’s car safety? The reason I brought that up was cause it’s basically so easy to see that hinchs was rear with ample proof yet people get so worked up over things it’s mental.
I know this is a gossip site but unless you try and educate someone first I think it’s a bit tit to just slag them off.
Back when I had my kid I would have appreciated friends telling me or even strangers that my choices could be improved and how if the info was there, but if I found out a group of friends were slating me behind my back without making the effort to give me a chance to improve first then that would have affected me massively. Yes google would have been great 20 years ago however there are also downfalls of having a mass of info at your fingertips and some of it not all correct. I didn’t mean that just cause my daughter turned out ok that everything I did was right.
Anyway didn’t want to derail or make the post about me or whatever just my opinion. I’m all for keeping children safe and improving things.

Every time Charlie shows the downstairs of her house I can’t help but notice how pokey and tiny it is! I’d go loopy living in there, no space whatsoever 😫


It is tiny also it would drive me mad having cooking smells from the kitchen all over the front room. Weird thing to be annoyed about I know but I had no door on the kitchen to my old house for years and it did my head in!

Would be very dangerous in a fire having to play twister getting through that house
 
What’s Charlotte always hiding when she puts them massive emojis on you pictures!? 897D1604-0BCB-4172-A6D1-D3F557F1F1B8.png

I’ve always wondered this too! I wonder if there’s really dirty marks on the carpet or something as they always seem to be in similar places

Edit: just realised its a hard floor not a carpet. God knows what they’re for then?!
 
Could be her feet at the bottom, I know girls who scribble their feet out or try and blur them 🤣🤣 Probably areas that she thinks are untidy.. as if her whole house isn’t hahaha

Probably them peas she always claims to not see. Or maybe Don dons doing a handstand. I joke.


As for the BLM / Blackout Tues. As a black girl I am not offended nor think anyone is racist because they haven't posted a black square or BLM. Each to their own. Everyone started saying we shouldn't be posting black squares anymore so... 🤷‍♀️Can't really create a motive and change it halfway through.

In my experience if you try to inform somebody of something parenting related you get accused of mum shaming and slating no matter how gentle you are. And then gang chav start with their "I dun it n my kidz r fyn innit" 😂 Charlotte mixing cleaning products, for example. I hope my post didn't come across as having a go because I didn't intend it to at all. 😊

I've lived in an open plan place for a couple months and this 100%. Also really agitated me if there was a mug or plate unwashed on the side, felt like somebody had left their washing up on my coffee table. 🤢

No not at all I don’t think I explained myself in the op probably because I was quite merry on vodka and have the tendency to ramble anyway....

The open plan thing would drive me crazy as I would feel like it was untidy all the time 😳
