I’ve been following Carys for a few years. I used to enjoy the content that she produced surrounding fitness and her mindset towards it. But for a long time now, I’ve noticed how naive they both are (especially Carys) and it’s actually so triggering to me! I came on here to see if other people have noticed as I thought maybe I was being too harsh, but no!
I remember a video they did a while back - I think it was a Q&A or something - and in the same vid they discussed how they wanted kids asap and that they also had so many places in the world that they wanted to visit, and that they would go back to places like America frequently. I’m 21 years old, not a parent, and even I was baffled as to their ignorance in thinking they’d be able to lead the same travelling holiday life once they have a kid!!! Yes they can still do that, but I was shocked that they assumed it would be so easy and as easy as it is for them now.
Similarly, I found the TTC video so unbelievably tasteless. Again, need to reiterate I am a 21 y/o with no desire to have kids any time soon, and even I was offended that they spoke about it like they were the only ones to ever try and get pregnant, so I can only imagine how triggering it is for those who are facing problems in their journey with TTC, or who are unable to conceive.
There was a vid they did after they started the new house process about how they would do Renovations and have a kid in the next year (Carys said) and I just got so annoyed that she assumed it would be that easy for them to just do it in the click of a finger (which it has been!). I am just so irritated by her naivety and now the over saturation of pregnancy content has made me want to unfollow. She just has absolutely no idea how much this baby will change her life, and that’s what annoys me. I’m happy as hell that she has been able to conceive, I just feel like it’s the complete wrong time in her life! I believe that one day she will regret wanting to settle down so young, and no longer will she be able to travel the world with just her and James in her little bubble. It’s like she is so wrapped up in the pregnancy influencer Instagram aesthetic, and this baby is something to distract her from the fact that she has nothing else to do.
