hello and welcome to nip tuck not giving a fuck your rooney so how are you do you know what that's really thrown me because i started it and not you and now i'm all like oh i can't gotcha um i am fine i'm good i've not brushed my hair or anything this morning thea's on the second week of half term why is that some schools do it and i think her school does it so you can take a holiday that isn't in official term time off term time so you can book your holidays cheaper but then all my friends kids are off for the second week yeah um what do you think about this thing now where they are charging you and you can get like in serious shit for taking your kids out you can get put on the child protection register that's allegedly allegedly no i promise really yeah i

guess well i think so you don't know i guess they have to um like think of people that are just taking the kids out of school because they're not looking after them so they have to treat everyone the same i suppose i've got friends who were at certain schools and they literally are so academic that they bollock them bollock them even at like one day kids age yeah no i don't i think a school is absolutely fantastic and it's just what a primary school should be yeah really good they learn the kids that want to learn more they focus to help their blah blah but it's also play the kids i think as parents like what really fucks me off about it is in covid oh it was absolutely fine oh absolutely you know have a year off have a year a hot two have two and then when it comes

to a difference between a two grand holiday and an 800 quid holiday it's you are not a lot like it really i think we should be able to do what we want with our children 100 what do you think about homeschooling a lot of people are doing that now i think it's going to become a lot more popular i do but not just like the homeschooling like community schooling yes if that makes sense so i think that especially like where i live i know that there was stuff going on with like the schools and people were pulling the kids out of schools because of like conflicting things after covid and yeah yeah opinions and what they wanted their kids to be taught and everything like that and I think if there's a group of say like I don't know five or six parents and they've all got kids

that are in those years might be a good idea to start doing that I totally get it because I look at school and of course a lot of it reading writing all that kind of thing but then the high school I just honestly feel like I could have been much better prepared for life than learning about geography yeah and like rocks and stuff yeah like I know what do you know a sedimentary rock that's just a word that i just remember sedimentary rock and i had to remember what sedimentary rock was and whenever we go on a walk i'm like which is never i'm like oh sedimentary rock yeah but i would much prefer to have learned about death yeah taxes how not to get into it how to look after children hormones hormones like fertility yes as you get a teenager you may get these

feelings and thoughts that's okay emotion life skills life skills like that narcissist yeah that who to stay away from what that oh babe would have helped me a lot more well it would have taken out my 20s a lot of hurt in my 20s if i'd have been taught in school about things like that do you know getting loans for people oh no i just think there's a better way to teach people but whatever having said that i have not got the time or i'll be honest the effort to then make my own curriculum for my child yeah no same like if anyone has to do that for us um but i think that that might be quite a nice thing if you all like say i don't know teamed in and put some money in imagine the arguments between the parents they're like oh and those pta moms i just could not oh my

god pta do you know what i will we've got one mom in fear's class and she does a lot of pts she's fucking brilliant and every time i think well done well i think good for you i wish i was buying a wine at christmas lauren i don't even buy my friends what did you get for your birthday exactly anyway yeah no go pta mums like i honestly had a thought the other day go on i was gonna the mum's group chat was going off and you know how much i wanted to be in there yeah i was gonna say hi can you swap me out and put my nanny in no imagine but but to be fair if she does that kind of she does then it's pointless like so yeah i don't think you should do that though i don't think that would go down well no i might just maybe change my phone

all these thoughts are going through my head guys this episode has been brought to you by one of our favorites ag1 lauren i cannot start my day without drinking my glass of AG1? Oh my God, I know.

mums that i follow that are incredible taking and really enjoying it and i think oh i must have looked such a bitch because they were probably waiting to go on this holiday and they're saying how magical it is and i fucking pissed on the chip so i felt a bit of a dick but it's honest and true and that is what i felt about disneyland um that was my experience so there's um a writer journalist journalist called diane bourne and she we know her from events events and stuff um and she messaged me and said can i do an article about it and i was like yeah if you want no no bother so she did the article wasn't really that arsed fine um and then it went in the men yeah now i don't read papers who does who does that's what i thought it's giving

construction work this is what i well funny enough james is so this is what i thought next thing and i didn't care i've not even i it was just enough going no we forgot i don't care yeah um and we james came home like you didn't tell me that my picture was in it and i was like why and he said my dad's just messaged me saying i'm on the on the in the me an actual thing and i was like oh do people still buy actual yeah papers but then we did james's dad builder as well no he's not actually but he used to be a joiner maybe it just never leaves you um so then we got a few people his sister sent it was like loads of it and i was just like who looks at this shit anyway clearly they do but one thing that we did get that i was just like oh ashley got a

message um and i'm sure it wasn't meant in any you know ill whatever but i should get some hi tell lauren to avoid the daily mail it wasn't daily mail there was it was no comments today yeah right so what did you think you're gonna run to the comments first of all you've told ashley tell lauren not to to look so do you actually want her to come to me and say we've had a message don't look at the comments first of all like why draw attention to that if you don't want someone to look at it don't mention it secondly like to message you and i think it was just to say i've seen it by the way i think that's all the message was meant to be but i was just i don't really read the comments i used to read the comments on daily mail and then i felt

like i was in part of that cult website yeah yeah and also it actually is really bad for your brain reading stuff reading shit like that like i used to read our tiktok comments and i didn't fucking do it oh my god i don't look at them at all hours of makes no difference to me and also i just think like it's actual awful people yeah why would you understand that so apparently the comments i said i genuinely haven't read them because i haven't had time i really don't care no but i think it was just like oh so she went to disneyland and was upset she had to queue i just i didn't have anything to say to them yeah um it was the way you got called podcast mum and podcast mum like you were you were triggered by that like what they're gonna put podcast dad like no they wouldn't

would they but then i don't know so then i had another um quite a big mum insta that have messaged me haven't they and they want to do a story on it as well now i've got a feeling that most of the followers of that are not going to agree with my opinion right so what have you said i've said yeah right if you want i don't probably been written it's probably been written i've not even realized apparently someone said that um disney responded to it i've not even looked i don't care like i think people think i'm i couldn't have we put that video on tiktok yeah i don't know and let me tell you like we were saying the other day i've been as is ashley but me in my bikini on the front page of the scottish sun yeah with the headline mums spend 60 000 pounds

on cosmetic surgery now no mine was the private birth and the picture of the fendi outfits now once you've hit that kind of low yeah let me tell you being on the front of the scottish sun in my bikini um when the article was promised to be about the podcast so can you imagine the shock we got um when that's happened it's a low so after that really disneyland on there is just not a problem for no but it did get us thinking about social media and we you know like honestly the irritation recently i have been getting so fucking fed up of social media because i just think everyone feels like they have a right to you and what you're doing in your time i can't explain the amount of rude fucking dms that i get every day not even a hello please thank you or a kiss

do you take a zen pic oh my god that one and then we looked and she didn't even follow you like what and then like other ones like hi i've just had my boobs done last week and one of them's 10 times bigger than the other one and then the life story and i'm like well i don't know like what do you want me to do the only time we're gonna help with that is on patreon yeah we've got a girl that's because it's our little community listen like think what you want i'm telling you now i now i don't respond to messages on instagram i don't even really look at them because honestly like sending me a picture of your four-year-old's arse rash like i don't no i'm not a doctor like so on patreon they pay to be there they want to be there and i will

respond to all the messages part of the community so you're like right you're one of us they are we're gonna help you instagram now i just feel like a lot of people entitled aren't they are entitled to like your time and it used to really stress both of us out when we would get messages and i will respond like i do a q a once a week if i can um i very rarely now post unless i have to but at the same time actually what we do have to be fair about here is the reason that we've done well the reason we've got the job we have got is from people following us on instagram yeah so we don't want to sound like brats because think about it if it wasn't for instagram the podcast may not have done as well no i agree it wasn't for instagram we wouldn't have the followers

therefore we're lucky enough to work with brands and get paid it's the weird people on there yeah we want people there to help our engagement and all that so we can't then be like but don't fucking take my time because they are paying our job listen to the pod i tell you absolutely everything anyway from my hemorrhoids yeah like my whereabouts everything yeah i agree but it's the ones on instagram that are the lurkers i call them yeah and they want to judge your parenting yeah what you're spending your money on what you're not spending your money on nice place it's from a really dark dark little under the bridge trolls yeah no i agree we were talking a lot about the evil eye as well the evil eye is a thing girls and i've certainly i still overshare

but there's something like that i'm doing at the minute that i've just kept a little bit under the radar because i do believe that and i think until you've got something over the line and it's over the line just don't let people's negativity get in and then when it's over the line shout about and i get it now like when influencers aren't posting their pregnancy until they're five six months pregnant there's a girl i know and she i follow i think she's called stacy on instagram and she's an influencer and she's just literally dropped a bomb and it says nine months pregnant melissa's wardrobe had a baby didn't even know she was pregnant yeah i get that i do get it but yeah i mean i'm an oversharer well we wouldn't be able to do that but no even

if i just did like a face to camera i'd have a big fat face feel like i'd be lying to you all right yeah that's the other thing see the hard thing is we also have a job yeah sharing so it's a it's a balance isn't it and if i knew that everyone listening or watching was our genuine lovely podcast listeners that we know most of you are then i'd share everything but there's always that small percentage that are evil and mean anyway so what we did when we're talking about social media because at the minute it is quite irritating we did a little thing to see what annoyed you guys about social media so i'm going to go through them and this one is oh my god probably my main one people asking questions that you could easily just google oh my god i don't

get this so i get messages sometimes and i think it would have taken you but that's how i learn about my life of google like it would have taken a second by the time i've replied you could have googled it or when people put a question box google it so that's one thing what time disaster clause on a sunday yeah this one is quite funny um my friend actually wrote this she's probably talking about me people who over edit and filter but then all the mates say oh my god gorgeous but we all know that that's not what i over edit and filter everything um a lot of people have put oh my god putting filters on children i don't understand that that's odd putting children on full stop i'm sorry lauren you know no it's fine reconsider doing that i do

now and again reconsider it and then she's just so pretty yeah but what are you gaining from posting it she's my pretty girl um i know i get it i get it i get it i get it i will stop i'm like i will um we you say this when influencers say i can't cope and i'm obsessed oh i do that you know so the other day um i was talking actually said i'd start and he was like ashley on your videos you need to stop saying hey guys because it's not good and we were going through me and him and on every start of every video okay hey guys and he was like what are you meant to say you need to start saying hello ladies and gentlemen well anyone send in what we can say i i know i feel like a right knob i know i do there isn't any yeah so influencers recording themselves getting

out of bed like they didn't just set up a tripod we've said this influencers recording like the pregnancy announcement like at what point are we setting the phone up walking away and then i can't say anything i'll probably do that no but i just think it's so narcissistic i'm i'm and i am one of the biggest narcissists but i just think like at what high regard like yeah i get fucking molly may doing stuff like that but not like susan like from down the road i mean whatever you do you um i just wish i was that good at editing my video yes you're just jealous i'm getting really good at editing you are the fakeness anniversary post four years with my best friend but they're on and off like a light switch yeah and i mean i'm here for that kind of petty drama on instagram

it's nice i will check if you and your boyfriend have followed and unfollowed each other have you seen any more about the philip plene pline that's so interesting that's so interesting so they've split up yeah his other girlfriend was pregnant yeah so they've split he's and he's clearly written the post that she has to post yeah saying they're still friends i'm sure they are but he's written that and it turns out his other girlfriend is already like six months pregnant so you got her pregnant while they were together i used to be her friend and she yeah and she there's a video on youtube that the girls on patreon were saying we need to watch oh on our way to london let's we yeah i really like her and i think she comes across absolutely lovely stunning beautiful but

that is very interesting to me especially after i listen girls if you haven't already listen to the interview with who's that girl ashley morgan is it yeah morgan brit listen to her podcast about philip oh didn't i send it you sent it to me have you read she said he's crackers have you read no is it good i've gone off her now she's boring she had an affair allegedly with a very famous miami plastic surgeon that's just got divorced really she speaks in detail about i think she looks gorgeous and they've all got that stunning like cat look haven't they yeah which is just i'm bored of her so yeah okay next bit someone's put ads listen babe i've got to get that money and do you know what i will say about us yesterday yeah yeah i got an ad come through

and immediately i said no and then i sent it lauren and i said i've just said no to this and it was a a lot of money for a post and she was like really and i was like yep i said no and she was like i get it yeah because what it was asking you to advertise isn't something you would use or do someone else might though no it actually wasn't really really good it was an app maybe when i have a baby yeah i'll ask them i just was like it just isn't me no and everyone would look at it and be like actually that's bullshit but things that i advertise are things that i have used use and love so for example sim proof swear by that shit ag1 absolutely love it perricone love the stuff iconic adore their setting spray and their tans and everything um what else what else we don't

have that many to be fair body love their stuff yeah i only work with stuff that i've tried as well you know there's one here that really makes me laugh because this like reminds me of something that's happened to me the fashion influencers wearing and advertising clothes they wouldn't be seen dead in so i got a dm oh i couldn't um the other day and i actually found it incredibly offensive and it was from a clothing brand and it said hi it's quite a big one like it wasn't i'm not being mean to any small businesses and it was like hi we think that your clothes our clothes it's obviously copy and pasted would be exactly your style we would love to work with you you want to see what the fucking clothes were i was offended that before i was so offended because i

was like you i when have you seen me in a floral smock oh do you remember when i got that breastfeeding friendly clothing and they wanted to know and i was like no no so yeah i agree with some of the yeah that like that was it um when someone checks in at the hospital are we still doing that no i'm sorry we are not doing that or when people put that their kids are in hospital i find that a bit odd i think if you've got i mean i think it depends i would probably put it on after and be like just yeah if it's a helpful post like this happened with my little girl and i just want to warn you about it i don't think that's that bad yeah i think i've done that before but not like during the time again evil eye people love to see shit going wrong for you don't fucking

admit it straight away on instagram because evil eye will go a lot of people saying ads as in when you've been talking about your phones listened and then brought an ad up on instagram that is creepy shit isn't it yeah do you know what one of the ones that we've had as well um is it's from an aesthetics provider and what she said is how hard it is now to build following on your aesthetics or your whatever page and your business page and we get that quite a lot she said a lot of clients now are coming off social media so she said beauty pages like mine are having less traffic um so now it's it's hard to get a business going on there because of the algorithm if you haven't got if you're not a content creator with loads of followers you struggle to get seen and i think

instagram is and there is an issue with that there is back in the day you used to easily get reaching followers and now it's actually quite hard show off culture that's a huge one yeah i agree i agree there's a few um people that i follow and i get very shocked by it's it's like the way they post is oh my god there was one and she posted not a direct show off it's in the background show no i prefer listen do it in the background this one was i don't know if i can say that everyone knowing who it was it was basically she was in a designer bag place and she was just saying i don't want to say because i spend so much money that's because i buy so much from this place i've got blah blah and i was just like i think that's tasteless i didn't like it um anyway so

yeah you clearly all have like a little bit and a lot of people are saying feeling the need to compare your life to others i do think though if someone's bought like a new car and they've worked their ass off for it i get that because i did that when i got my like dream car when i was about 25 yeah i fucking posted yeah so then i guess going back on ourselves but not like daily bags of why is that okay but how are we to say that they're allowed if they've worked hard but
