From her social media profile, 33-year-old mum of four, Clemmie Hooper, lives a picture perfect life.
The part-time midwife and woman behind the Instagram account @mother_of_daughters, which had 470,000 followers, has deleted everything after a Mumsnet forum post accused her of exploiting her children.
Along with her husband Simon – who has a cool 845,000 followers on his account @father_of_daughters – UK-based Clemmie regularly posted sponsored photos marked with #ad featuring the couple’s four children Anya, Marnie, Ottilie and Delilah.
The children, who are aged between two and 10 years of age, regularly participate in partnerships with Renault UK, Edition Hotels and Visit Florida which included a family vacation to Walt Disney World.
As a result of their social media platforms, Simon and Clemmie also released three books.

People, get OVER it! I went to the Mums Net forum to see what all the fuss was about and it sounded like a bunch of jealous women who know damn well that if they were given the opportunities that this Mother of Daughters had they would have taken them in an instant in order to make more money for their families. The commentary was laughable at best. I feel badly that Mrs. Hooper even felt like spending a minute on there trying to speak to women who were obviously just operating out of a catty, jealous, pack mentality which is pathetic. As for the one woman who was upset that social media presented an unrealistic version of life, I could hardly stop laughing at that. Of course it does!!!! What does she even think social media is all about? Do these women go on the pages of every "influencer" as they call them and call them out for overly curating their pages which basically every single person with hundreds of thousands of followers does? I would say the numbers speak for themselves. Almost a million people loved Mrs. Hooper and what she did. Then there's a desperately jealous group of angry women who wish they had the initiative and drive it takes to write two books, work a job, AND raise four kids. Damn straight she has a right to take some free trips if people are offering! And so would they. They are lying if they say they would not.
I can't get my head around her saying “I sometimes feel that for some people they only see the finished, filtered result on a Instagram rather than see the whole back story."
Well yeah. They're seeing what you present. How are they supposed to see "the whole story" when you only present a picture perfect "glossy mag" image? The person who said it was like the 90's glossy mags is super on the money.
