The sixx cool moms group on fb…

The problem is she doesn’t represent herself in that way. She represents it as a group for moms to support each other, have get togethers etc…

Why do people ask for recommendations in moms groups? Because they want actual real life recommendations of places other moms have used and have had positive experiences with. Asking for a rec in that group you are getting whatever business in that category is currently paying her. So what’s the point of the recommendation? It has absolutely no validity behind it. That’s one of ways moms support each other-by helping each other out when they have questions about goods, services, healthcare etc…and she is still representing the group that way but it’s not actually what’s happening.

It's a huge waste of time.

Yes she does. Have you even bothered to read the about us section of her group? Also...she may call attention to her paid advertisers as a recommendation,but the rest of the comments are others answering with their recommendations, so I fail to see what the issue is here, other than you being jealous you didn't think of it first.

It’s the parenting advice for me. She always loves to give parenting advice. And as another poster said, she had one child who is preschool age and seems just like a generally easy kid to parent. Her husband is seemingly always around and she seems like she has a lot of family around to help. She acts like she is some kind of parenting expert. She reminds me of many first time moms that get a naturally easy kid and have no idea what they are talking about. Typically though, those moms go on to have a second kid and realize it wasn’t their amazing awesome parenting that caused the first one to be easy-it was just luck. Then they are humbled and suddenly can relate to all the things other parents talk about.

She is so awful. As someone else sad, the constant recommendations for medical providers that don’t take insurance…you know when she posts these pictures of her in a dental chair at one such provider she has convinced them to give her services for free in turn for advertisements. It’s gross.

Her husband is around as this is her business. She will not let any free ads, even PTA/PTO ads to help out schools. She once told me I don't work for free, so why should she. I was working for free for the PTA so it was a bizzare comment. No one gets paid in PTA's. All her recommendations are because she is paid to make them as they are her sponsors. I wouldn't trust anyone or anything in that group.

Then why are you in the group? I do see a lot of charitable posts. Maybe she just doesn't like you. Which makes sense to me based on the personality coming from your comment

If you aren't paying, she refuses recommendations. It has to be paid advertising only.

I’m an active member of the group, and a business owner who does not advertise with her. I comment on every thread where a recommendation for my business makes sense. She does not refuse those recommendations or delete them. She’s asked if I wanted to advertise and I said I couldn’t afford it. She was kind about it. I’ve gotten business from recommending myself in that group. It seems like you are just being a hater. Just leave the group! Do you own a business? Has she refused to let you post in the comments? I’d venture to say no she hasn’t.

Not a PP- Chiming in here to say the sixx cool moms lady will not advertise a school charity event. I asked her to recognize something for a special needs program I am affiliated with in mcps and she told me no because I had to pay. I really disliked her after that

She had the nerve to tell me I don't work for free so why should she. She clearly didn't know all PTA/PTO folks work for free.

Why do you feel like this person owes you anything? If they let in every charity that asks for free promotion the group would be flooded and the experience would be awful. Do you think you’re special? That your one charity should be selected out of all others. Grow up. She’s a business like any business…most don’t let charities advertise for free. The expectations of this person are really unfair.

So she shakes down women owned small businesses for free stuff and endorsement but there in no give back? Gross.

I agree that her tone runs me the wrong way because it comes off as "I have this parenting thing down, let me help you" but I think she is actually not very knowledgeable about parenting. She thinks it's about finding the right paid resources (no matter the cost). Agree it looks like she has one fairly easy (and young) kid and a good support system. But doesn't seem to get that those things make parenting easier for her-- she's not better at parenting.

I say this as a parent of an only, but my kid is older and very challenging. We have zero family help and really struggle with creating a support system. We didn't have more kids specifically because I recognized I'm NOT supermom and I didn't want to overextend myself.

It's too bad because someone like me is always looking for actual support resources for patents. I'd love an actual mom support group that was local and led by someone with humility who was interested in encouraging support, not just making money for herself. She can do what she wants but it's just not that useful IMO.

I love the weird flex she makes about how her daughter “doesn’t play with toys”. She says it often and acts like it makes her daughter better/special or something. It’s weird. And also the whole “beetlejuice” type stuff the mom is into and tries to act like her daughter is into the same things completely organically. It’s the same as those parents that are like “my kid’s favorite song is blah blah” when it’s the song the parent plays non stop.

I left the group a while ago because she clearly uses people for financial gain. But I used to get a lot of second hand embarrassment from some of the stuff she posted about her personal life.

None of the posters here have mentioned attending meet ups. From looking at the promotional info, it seems like that’s the main point of this group. But instead it’s about business recommendations?

I’m in the group and have attended some events. There are prob 3-6 events a month…many are actually tied to a charity. I’ve only been to 2 events I think, but from my perspective it’s more of a pop culture, let’s get-together and have fun without our kids, and talk openly about motherhood group than a moms group that’s all open recommendations with little moderation.

The business recommendations are the same as a lot of other groups. She charges for advertising and promotes people who pay her to advertise. People don’t like it in other groups either but it’s the way the internet works. Thousands of people make a living doing this.

She’s harmless. I don’t like everything she posts but some stuff I do. She runs a fun group and the people I’ve met at events including her are all nice and welcoming. I’m really not sure why there is so much anger towards her….sure she posts some cringe content but so does every other influencer out there.
