I predicted next couple of weeks, but this was fast. Rarely accepts gifts!!

Ugh. I liked her, but I’m so close to unfollowing with the sheer volume of gifted stuff right now. She’s crazy rich, she can buy a fucking comb.

Excuse me, it’s a fucking birthing comb, not just a fucking comb.

Of course, in the middle of labour I would have tried ANYTHING. The issue isn’t with using a comb, a tens machine or meds to ease pain, it’s with the relentless commercialisation of having a baby and how influencers support that. The amount of unnecessary stuff that is pushed onto pregnant women and new parents. They are such prime targets because it’s an exciting time when everything is about you and your baby plus you want the best for your baby but HONESTLY! I’ve seen birthing gowns (a button down dress for your trip to hospital), specific bags for hospital trip etc not to mention the long-standing pointless crap like changing tables, nappy bins, nursing chairs. Massive bits of furniture that are unnecessary and end up in landfill.

All these babies that have all the stuff pushed at them by all the influencers are going to inherit a polluted, overheated planet but it’s cool because mum got gifted three birthing combs. Worth it.

My sister just used a pair of cheap plastic combs they already had lying around at home. Don’t spread that around though. It will put these grifters out of business.

Another Taeuber wedding today. Let’s see if this one is less robotic than the last.

Glad someone else said it, for 3 people who are trying to make a living and following out of being active on social media I cannot believe some of their posts. I still have nightmares over how awkward one of the triplets was on her wedding day. I think it’s the same one that acted like a robot for the gender reveal. It makes me cringe everytime I think about it 🥲🥲🥲

VD says she's been gifted a handful of baby items. Her definition of "handful" must mean something very, very, different to mine.

Agreed. Beginning to doubt her financial skills.
She does not have a leg to stand on. It’s pure greed. Saying she does it because it’s genuinely something she finds fun but I’m another breath saying how it’s hard work. It’s just so unnecessary and grabby. Pushing a lifestyle out of reach to the vast majority. So kind of her not to commercialise her wedding and her fancy house because it was out of reach for the povo followers but her slummy beach house kaboodle kitchen is ok.

Okay, so maybe the content that comes with the kitchen is “work” and involves some effort. Nice to know she’s losing money in that transaction apparently . But what’s the excuse for all the gifted stuff? It takes two seconds to grab a photo and tag the company. That’s not work babe. No matter how you want to spin it.
