James and Carys #15 Amber still swaddled like it's the norm...

Title with the most votes thanks to @Pippin with 62 votes!

The full title is "Amber still swaddled like it's the norm. Carys still producing Reddit porn." But it was too long (I am also not sure if including porn in the title would be allowed )

I'm not great at recaps but in short since returning from their holiday:
- Carys has launched another ITS collection of cheap tat
- Autumn has hit their home & their wardrobes in a cacophony of autumnal tones and pumpkins
- Amber is now 6 months and they're weaning her
- Carys' Reddit thread continues to be a cesspit

I’ve just tried giving my nearly 7 month old a whole strawberry to hold. She couldn’t grip it and just started crying in frustration We started weaning her just before 6 months aswell so no excuses (there’s nothing wrong with weaning around 6 months btw so that’s one thing I’m not going to slate Carys for

The thing that frustrates me so much with Carys is that if she actually put some thought and effort into her content she could be a really good vlogger.

With a little bit of thought it wouldn’t be hard to make useful videos for new mums - around breastfeeding, her ab separation recovery, wean with me videos, routine videos (if that’s your thing) but instead she just does the laziest, easiest videos to film which is day/week in the life constantly as they require no effort whatsoever.

It’s their job to create content but their content is lazy and repetitive! I do wonder how either of them would survive with proper jobs

She doesn't even love autumn.she said in the vlog that her least favorite thing about autumn is the weather.. like what else is there? Pumpkin decor?

I thought this especially in the latest vlog. there was a one minute section of "oh by the way we have started weaning amber, it's messy", then cut to them showing some yogurt and yogurt mixed with fruit, then cut to Amber's messy face. She could have done weaning essentials they've bought, and then further down like "our weaning journey" where they discuss more on how they started, why they went with BLW (assuming the stick with that), if they changed how they did it etc. Recipes for food too. it baffled me because so many people were asking how she fixed her ab separation, if I was a youtuber, I would have done a video on it, you'll get the views from your subscribers, but then other people just searching about diastasis recti could come across the channel and follow too. But she just said oh I googled exercises so just do that. Just shows how lazy they are with content.

They just churn out these boring weekly vlogs walking round their house babbling about nonsense and going on dog walks, when they could actually have good content (if you care about watching baby etc content). That's why I think she should post on her original for fashion etc, and then have baby and family content on the couples one.

100% agree with you all about content! I follow at home with shan and her you tube is so good for mums etc

Weaning videos
Baby essentials
Her best baby buys
What she regrets buying
What her son eats in a day and etc

So much more relevant.
And has a first time mum I love videos like this. She really is missing a good thing.

Carys is just the same old content her and James chatting absoulute rubbish to the camera. They don't have a plan in what they are actually vlogging it's actually chaotic. She gets easily distracted starts one storie then starts chatting about something else I'm like

seems she is totally incapable of closing her legs in any given situation so wouldn’t be surprised if she is pregnant again!

 

[mmoch]

The reason she has got Amber some nike trainers is because she is so advanced and I guess will be able to walk by next week

 

[Hbirdette]

WHO is asking amber about where she got “___” from? She has no style

 

[Lizz17uk]

Oh god…she even has amber in oversized jumpers now she’s a baby ffs! Surely this isn’t a thing?? I don’t like massively oversized stuff anyway but I get its a thing and some people can really pull it off but a baby? I’m sorry that just seems crazy to me :/

Why are babies not dressed as babies anymore?! Due in a few weeks and aside from a few dresses, it’s onesies all the way!

I cant cope with carys clearly asking herself the questions who the fucks even seen that bib apart from u

Yea I mean I don’t have kids but I always just assumed from seeing my nephew as a baby and stuff that it was basically just onesies! Just in varying sizes! Lol! With the odd separate outfit so trousers and top….in nice colours, not boring bloody beige :/ but my brother and sister in law didn’t spend loads on outfits of fancy clothes because it’a waste of money as they grow out of it all so quickly! He’s 8 now and even now they won’t buy anything super expensive clothes wise as he is growing like a weed! The only thing the do spend decent money on are school shoes as he has to wear them all day and they think they re worth paying for decent ones…which my parents always did too……which makes sense to me!

I can’t criticise her for that - babies grow so quickly so it’s probably good sense to buy items that can last across age groups, save buying multiples. I’ve put my baby in cardigans that are oversized so they last longer

 

[sassybiatch98]

Hahahaa Instagram , Facebook & WhatsApp are down atm, what ever will she do

Difference there I think is you do it for practical reason to save money and make things last longer, which does make sense to me, she does it because she think it’s looks cool for Instagram! Lol! My parents bought my school blazer two sizes too big when I started secondary school because my dad had been made redundant and they wanted it to last so I totally understand that!

My Mum bought my school blazer too big so I could grow into it. I’m still waiting to 20 years later

Definitely, shoes are so important to pay good money for but absolutely not worth paying for mini adult clothes and all in that horrible brown beige trend - inject some fun colours and cute onesies!

Oh my god, do you think she’ll get ambers ears Pearced next?!
