but Grace isn’t a normal 25 year old . She hasn’t had a job , she hasn’t moved out of home . I’ve seen with my own sibling and friends .. you cannot age beyond 16-18 while living at home . You might think you can , but you’ll always be somewhat stuck

I don’t buy this at all. You’re ignoring her job as a content creator, and her impressive work in fashion modelling. They might not be “real jobs” to you, but that doesn’t make it true. As for your opinion that anyone living at home past 18 doesn’t mature beyond that, well, hard disagree. I think that’s just a load of rubbish and that’s the friendliest way I can put it. It’s also more common than ever for 25 year olds to still live with their parents. So she’s not really so abnormal after all, is she?

I think there’s a hell of a lot of ignorance showing in the criticism towards her and her engagement, which would be fine if it had been kept away from the rave thread.

She's created a baking Instagram!

 

[little green ant]

Used to be her biggest fan after finding her three or four years ago and never missed a bid but haven't watched her latest. We also used to message but she doesn't bother replying these days. It's a shame when people get too popular.

I'm new to Tattle and was so sad to see a Grace thread. But reading it I'm so glad it's a rave thread! I just think Grace is such a wholesome YouTuber, I really love her videos!

 

[CoffeeMamma]

I am pretty sure Grace said in one of her second channel videos her friends don’t like to be on camera and she doesn’t feel the need to get her camera out when she’s with them, which is a really healthy attitude in my opinion! She reminds me a lot of the early Mandeville sisters stuff!

 

[caterday28]

Her latest TikTok... She makes such a point of being fine about being single and what not, and encourages others to feel the same (which I really applaud her for!), but god she goes on about it an awful lot! And suggesting she’s not “thriving” like everyone else around her is... that kind of goes against everything she usually preaches, no? I really hope she’s ok!

I think it's just that it seems like a bigger deal to her now that both her siblings are engaged to be married. I know I'd feel the same way!

Who got married?

Her brother and sister ? - not to each other

 

[emm]

I finally unsubscribed this morning. The screech as she bit into a wrap was just the last straw.

yeah is it just me or has she become more kind of hysterical recently?

I mean just because you want to be a housewife/have tons of children doesn’t mean you have to stay sheltered and never experience anything new? She’s got an amazing bubbly personality, the time and the money to do things other people can only dream of doing yet she just goes to maccas in France? (Which I would too but that’s not the point) Settling down does not equal being the most boring version of yourself you can be imo

It’s so weird how being a homemaker is vilified, like the woman has a lobotomy and is chained to the kitchen sink in a subservient role.

Not going to lie, I wish I’d gone down the homemaker route at Grace’s age rather than chasing down a career and leaving pregnancy to my early 30s. I’ve been to more places and developed more meaningful friendships and hobbies since becoming a mum with a basic part time job than I ever did in my ultra competitive “professional” job (which was just a ball of stress that I resented).

 

[Melier]

I’m assuming it’s going to be a suuuuper quick wedding, I imagine they’ll be married and living together by March

I think there’s a real problem in asserting how women ‘should’ express things. I agree that it is an issue the needs serious discussion and addressing and if Grace wants to do so publicly that’s fine. But equally if she doesn’t want to, that is her right and prerogative and she shouldn’t be shamed for it. She maybe hasn’t even consolodated her own thoughts on something so serious and doesn’t want to blindly repost without thinking. I know I haven’t reposted anything for that reason and I’ve got 15 years on her.

Agreed. As a society a huge part of the problem is we have to stop expecting women to behave a certain way. Few people would call men out on not posting if this was the other way around. If Grace doesn't want to post on this particular subject matter, that is entirely her perrogative and doesn't at all confirm anything regarding her feelings on the issue. Grace is well known for being a comfortable and happy place for people to escape the harsh realities of life and needing that little breather doesn't mean people don't care or are ignoring issues, but it isn't healthy or productive for anyone to focus on them all the time.

You compared her eating to her father's. If you can't see how that's ridiculous then I can't help you.

I find it ridiculous that people think her eating carefully and mindfully is room for concern.

I don't know how you guys think you stay a healthy figure, but no one at a healthy weight attained that without conscientious eating habits
Carefree eating leads to being overweight and unhealthy.
To be healthy and a safe weight, you have to be mindful and careful with what you eat - control your portions as to not to over eat AND not undereat

There's no such thing as mindless eating and staying a healthy weight. The idea people think it's concerning that Grace is conscious about what she consuming is just ridiculous.

I’ve just read the previous page and I’m baffled as to what you’re on about tbh. For a start you’re booting off at the wrong person, secondly, no one even said that Grace had an eating disorder in the first place? It sort of seems like you’re projecting a bit here.

I'm so happy she's engaged, but I never get how couples who haven't lived together know they are full compatible. My friend just got married (late twenties) and they both moved into together the day of their wedding - both lived with their parents prior. Her husband was used to being babied by his mother and doesn't clean/now how to cook and just lounges around, which annoys my friend.

Grace seems so childlike. I can't imagine her running a household.

 

[emm]

I really like Grace but I'm a bit dubious about her alleged healthy relationship with food.

The families meals seem very small, and I've always thought quite controlled portion and health wise. Considering Grace is often hungry they seem overly small. She shows quite large quantities of baked goods and sweets and snacks, which to me gives me slight Elzani vibes - sort of obsessing over snack foods.

I feel like her parents give me controlling healthy vibes, several things over the years that have been made me think this . And Grace is very slim, she looks underweight tbh and for someone who says they like food so much you'd think she'd just eat bigger portions of her main meals? Lots of talk of her lankiness. She was in the modelling industry and I'd be surprised if she came out unscathed with this miraculous healthy relationship with food

what in her parents makes you think they have controlling healthy attitudes?

 

[orlyb1310]

I don't think her mum is harsh, I think she just gives constructive criticism so Grace can make it better the next time. I can see how she sometimes comes across like she can't just let Grace get on with it but that might be because Grace is the baby of the family idk

 

[emm]

Her brother and sister ? - not to each other

thanks for clarifying

 

[knivesnflowers]

she's so refreshing on youtube so just watched her new vlog - is it a normal thing for people to try clothes on while testing positive?? you can't exactly wash the clothes when sending back / receiving them with tags and such, so is it not a bit irresponsible with us knowing less about new variants?? maybe i'm just being paranoid idk

 

[andreaoid]

What a problem to have as a 24yo woman!

 

[emm]

that sounds like he was a missionary.

100% he was a missionary, this is what I thought when it was mentioned before, this is why I find the religious aspect of her family kind of “extreme” and a bit cult like

 

[testycall]

I’ve got two teddies, one that I sleep with at home and a travel one, call me childish all you want but I can’t sleep without them
