Family Fizz #11 Fizzled out of minimalist living, now it's time to spend without (much) giving!

[GryffindorOfTheYear]

“Making myself feel better” about what? The fact influencers feel the need to make videos like this will never sit right with me. They love when something goes slightly off plan because then they can bang out 3 videos with “sad” titles in them to get views.
If I failed my driving test, I’d probably say “oh well, that’s annoying” and rebook some more lessons and a test. As I said before, as predicted, a few days after she was in Harrods lapping up an afternoon tea in Prada.
I’d love to swap my life with influencers for just one day, they would never cope.

People get upset about failing stuff but then they get on with life, practice and try again as you said.
But no, we've got a "making myself feel better" vid, which will probably be followed by a "glow-up" one and whatever else she normally does when any small thing doesn't go her way
Lots of 'boo hoo feel sorry for me as I spend a sh*t ton of money thoughtlessly'.
A lot of people her age are currently worrying about a level exams and next steps from that or finishing college courses/apprenticeships, etc. (and many of those will also be learning how to drive too) and she's crying on the internet over something that could have probably been avoided if she'd waited til she was actually ready and had had enough lessons (which she could easily afford and have time to do).

Exactly this. She came home, was upset, had a chat with her mum and a cry which is totally valid. What’s not needed, is all this dramatic feel sorry for me that’s followed. This is clearly Mia’s first time in the real world and it’s showing how she cannot cope with it, which is terrifying as she’s 18.

 

[selestia]

Me again . So I video popped up on my yt explore page and it’s a video about Family Freedom that Bob and Katie are getting married, which makes me think and wonder if FF will attend their wedding as I’m sure they’ll invite them.

It just makes me wonder as FF is very closed off from everything and everyone beside Harriet sometimes. The only one who goes out with friends is Mia which I’m actually happy about even though her friends are questionable. FF don’t socialise at all beside with each other and haven’t for years and I would go insane if all I did was talk to my family 24/7 and no one else.

 

[account70032]

I forced myself to sit through Mias new video and she just sounds more spoiled and self obsessed as time goes by.She really does live in a bubble and acts like everything that doesn’t go her way is the end of the world. Her attention seeking is too much we get it you failed your test but life goes on there’ll be more chances in the future to take the test. Of course being disappointed and upset I get that she’s entitled to feel like that but it’s like she can’t believe someone would fail her cause she thinks she’s ‘famous’ like she can’t believe this happened when anyone with common sense would see they needed to practice and be more ready to take a test rather than rushing into it not being prepared. She felt upset so causally goes on a shopping spree in selfridges lol. She thinks the world revolves around her and it’s annoying she doesn’t have any mature role models around her to help her mature and realise the world doesn’t revolve around her.

 

[hayley]

Haven't watched her new video but I watch the latest ff one. Always has to be the one who thinks she got the better purchase then anyone else.

Also Georgie saying she'll pick up and bag Mias donut then has Sienna pick up her own. Talk about favouritism. Even when walking out the shop they're like conjoined twins so close together whilst poor sienna is behind them as always.

I even feel like Mia was making out she's better then georgie too, like a "ha I'm 18 with this better life then you had, stuck with a 2 year old, no money, no friends, but look at me, I have it all, I'm so much better then you"

Sorry not Mia relating her failed driving test to the struggles of school and university. Girl has no clue.

Sorry I don’t mean this to come across horrible but for years Georgie has reminded me of the other mum in the movie Coraline and I can’t unsee it

Yes omg!! I can’t unsee this now either

Seriously?!
As someone who has learnt to drive whilst doing college & uni, I can safetly say they are worlds apart!

I'd love to see her try and write one of my uni assignments, or do the all day practical assessments I've done, or take even just one of the exams I have recently. And it's doing that whilst also making sure my flat stays clean, I've eaten, showered, paid my rent, shopped, spoken to family, etc. And then theres the people that do all that but also have kid(s) and a partner, pets, etc. And add in the part time job(s) because so many can't afford to live otherwise and barely can with one.
I guess at her age it would be A-levels or equivalent but still, a lot of those people are also working whilst studying, etc. And having to learn and recall mountains of info whilst under intense pressure from themselves, their teachers, parents, etc.

A driving test is nothing like either!

She has no idea of the real world and making these comparisons, which are quite clearly ridiculous, in order to try and sound relatable is just making her sound like more of a spoilt brat who has no clue! If she wants to be more relatable to her audience rn she should do what other youtubers have done in the past and fake sit a gcse/a-level paper - oh, but she can't cos she is educated to the level of your average 12 year old and not your average 15/16 or 17/18 year old.

If her Spanish is 'so good' why not just get a gcse in Spanish all she would have to do is learn the structure of the exams and be good to go if its as good as she tries to make out. She could make somewhat relatable content from the process of it

Theyre just not relatable at all anymore. I think this is the problem with youtube. When people start vlogging, they are usually living a normal budget life, so people relate and enjoy watching them. Once they start getting more money and spend '24 hours in harrods' its ridiculous, no one wants to watch others flash their wealth, especially in these hard times. Theyre so out if touch

 

[Sharkfan]

They really are totally out of touch with the world. I wonder if Mia actually has anything in common with the people she hangs out with as most of them seem to be in school. Grace, who Mia bought a designer bag with, is currently doing a levels and seems much more down to earth. I imagine her and all of Mia’s other ‘friends’ will move on from her soon once they’ve left school and move into the adult world whilst Mia is left filming shopping videos with her younger siblings and complaining when her little sister gets something she doesn’t.

No way she actually said that?! Really shows her immaturity as she never went to school and has no intention of going to university so how can she compare them?? She’s so privileged and spoiled and I know it’s not her fault Georgie is to blame but I really can’t stand her at the moment. She failed her driving test which loads of people do first time and they will have a cry about it and move on and try again when they’re ready they don’t sulk about it all over social media. She’s 18 but acts younger than Sienna

Glad I'm not the only one who finds this picture a bit scary

Since when is Bicester village secret

 

[LMNOZ]

Another shopping video. Cant contain my excitement. They 100% do it so they can use the things bought as a business expense for tax. They dont even get great views on these videos

I live 15 mins away it’s not secret at all

 

[FrankieP]

Since when is Bicester village secret

They clearly have internet access as otherwise they wouldn't be able to post videos, but they never seem to do basic research often turning up to places when they are closed or thinking the places are special places just for FamilyFizz.

There are posters for Bicester at Marylebone (where you catch the train from London) and Bicester Stations and signs if you drive there. It has been far from secret since it opened years ago.

 

[yuza]

They’ve lost themselves completely. Why is everything designer?
And as for Mia’s comment comparing her driving test to exams, get a grip Mia. You couldn’t sit an exam if you tried, you have no education. Those children and young adult who sit their exams, whether that be SATs, GCSEs or A Levels, are so much more mature and in the real world than you’ll ever be.
If you’re THIS dramatic over failing your driving test, you’d never ever EVER cope with exams so don’t even compare your little driving test to exams that people sit to get themselves jobs such as doctors, nurses etc because they WANT an education and a decent life by working for it. Please can come one just knock some sense and reality into this family before any of the other kids are ruined by their lifestyle because it’s becoming apparent very quickly that Mia is getting worse.

 

[Lilo7812]

I don’t understand their video so basically it’s a shopping challenge in an unknown village with no budget ?
