decided to.torture myself and catxh up on babs' weekly vlog. is she genuinely unaware that it's possible to go to the supermarket and purchase a single pepper or onion, or whatever the fuck fresh ingredient she claims steve needs to prepare the freshly-cooked, evening meal she serves to the kids for their tea each night?! is she so used to buying pre-prepared, plastic-packaged fruit that she is unaware that fruit and vegetables can be bought individually - because the fact that hello fresh include a single pepper or whatever is necessary in the ingredients for a specific recipe and a reduction in food wastage seems to be something she is pushing as a major selling point! along with "it's delivered to the door" - which is far mroe believeable as being appealing to babs!
i wish she'd just be fucking honest. we all know babs doesn't cook, but implying steve prepares a freshly home-cooked family meal each evening is a blatant lie, when we all know damn well the kids survive on beige freezer foods, and the only veg they ever eat is the sprinkle of frozen peas added to their plate for aesthetic value. i doubt babs is even aware of what a sweet potato
is - and although she may be tempted to try it based on it being labelled "sweet" i don't believe she would ever actually eat it as part of. a meal. not would she eat kidney beans. and it's also incredibly hypocritical of her to be promoting vegetarian recipes, as when ethan wanted to be vegetarian, she spent weeks complaining it was a massive inconvenience that she had to buy veggie nuggets alone with their usual beige foods - there is absolutely no way in hell she's eating veggie meals.
other highlights include babs implying she regularly sews pyjamas to repair them if they have holes etc - despite her outrage any time she has to sew a cub badge for ethan!
babs attempting to use "tween" slang, with the incredibly cringe sentence: "erin is upstairs, being
aesthetic and doing something
vibey" - just stop babs. it's embarrassing.
clarification that erin goes to secondary school on the bus, so all her bullshit about multiple school runs and having to test out new routes was all a blatant lie.
babs revealing that half her pyjama stash no longer fit around her gunt, and admitting that will not be changing - which is basically babs cryptically announcing she is
not a size 18, as we all know she only ever buys clothes in a size 18. i'm also genuinely surprised as to how many pairs of pyjamas she actually
owns, since she's always wearing the same few grubby pairs. she's literally bragging that she has bought three new pairs of winter pyjamas, along with the new halloween pyjamas - if only babs could be as concerned about wastage in terms of her excessive purchases of fast fashion that will never be worn, as she supposedly is about food waste!
and finally, babs announcing how much she loves piles...!
