I mean sure, but they seem to be OK with it?
I mean sure, but they seem to be OK with it?I find it irresponsible she's showing off her parents house so in depth. They aren't public figures/youtubers who put their life online.
Doesn't surprise me. How can you live 10 years in a country and barely speak a word of the language? It's quite shameful, honestly.View attachment 2974668Interesting and correct comment on one of her recent reels, I doubt she’d take any notice though - there’s quite a few comments of this nature
Her mother, despite speaking perfect English, not speaking much Portuguese left a bad taste in my mouth. Every bit as bad as English people moving to Spain and only being able to order a beer after ten years. I didn't warm to her parents, they seemed quite aloof and unfriendly. Reminded me of the families who send kids to boarding school while the father earns a fortune/scams the tax system then they retire thousands of miles away from family and friends, which is a big red flag in itself. I think cecilia was working hard on that video to make her relationship with her parents look warm and close. The parents looked as though they were just showing a visitor around their local area. I can't see Christopher being relaxed in their company, and I bet he's not what they had in mind for a son in law. The whole thing made me a bit sad. Cecilia would be better off getting a proper job than faking family videos like that.Doesn't surprise me. How can you live 10 years in a country and barely speak a word of the language?

Didn't her mother also say they've only been to Svalbard once? It might be normal in their culture, but they don't seem very close.
I've just read about her dad further back in this thread! Pretty pleased with myself tbh, their dynamic was the epitome of that kind of family where he works like mad and was never around for the family, the mother was a lady who lunches and the kids were looked after by an au pair (probably paid minimum wage and taken advantage of at every turn). I didnt warm to the parents while watching the video and I like them even less now! Amazing that she hasnt seen her mum for over a year when the mum is retired and Cecilia does what she wants. I thought the fake squealing about the pear lamp showed the complete lack of anything to talk about in that video.Cecilia's Dad was discussed a bit when this thread first started. He appeared on Uncover Boss (tv show 2012). Have no proof, but he seems quite sketchy. The mum didn't come off likeable on Cecilia's vlog imo. Also seems odd they aren't speaking Portuguese, given they've lived there for 10+years.
What would she do to entertain her lucky guest? Make a cuppa, walk onto deck into the Midnight Sun, screech their may or may not be a Polar Bear in the distance, run up to the vet for Grim's teeth cleaning, hop into truck, make a quick trip to the Coop Supermarket showing how expensive groceries are, then back home just in time for a vlog rewatch, of the Northern Lights, whilst discussing how hectic & busy life really is.Anyone want a trip to Svalbard to hang with her and the dog for a day?
Would there be time for a manicure? She loves that. And hopefully a visit to Kristoffers new storage facility/place of safety.What would she do to entertain her lucky guest?

How the heck could one forget Christoffer's man cave.Would there be time for a manicure? She loves that. And hopefully a visit to Kristoffers new storage facility/place of safety.
He sounds like a true polar bearSpecial appearance by Christopher grunting "ooh yeah, mmhmm, yup"
Absolutely with you on this! It drives me nuts and really isn't appropriate. I did see a comment on a recent video where somebody asked her to stop doing it - but she probably deleted it.When she does those fake accents it really triggers meit is so irritating!!
I used to work with someone that was like her in personality and when she met someone with a different accent they used to copy them all the time and not in a funny way just to completely mimic them , this was years ago , today they would probably have got hauled over by HR for it !
The relief came when they were made redundant , i’m sure it was a factor in their being chosen !!
I could understand if her voice just naturally flowed in to a British twang now and then - but at times it's seems very emphasised, almost as though she's doing it for effect. It could just be the way I'm hearing it. I get we are all influenced by what we hear around us - especially TV programmes and things. Its just grates on me with herI don’t think she does it on purpose, she’s not a native speaker so doesn’t have a particular accent she grew up with (I know she lived in Ireland, but at home she would’ve still spoken Swedish) can anchor to/feels natural to her so she’s easily influenced by what she hears. She’s more comfortable and sounds at ease when speaking Swedish, it’s like for her English=being ‘on’, performing for an audience
