i completely agree; it was so sweet and the way Grey’s face completely lit up when Lily got into the fort with her was adorable
i don’t know what happened with lily after having a baby, and the drastic personality shift but it really does seem like she loves Grey, even if she isn’t good at expressing that properly. i hope she gets help with her mental health if she needs it.
The transition to 'Mum' and 'losing your old life' is something some women really struggle with when having a baby. I think this is what Lily is struggling with and hasn't resolved.
Lily seems to feel that she misses her "old life", is envious of the opportunities that other influencers are getting and thinks it's because she's a mum that she's losing out. She also seems bitter because she followed the most basic life path and hasn't found satisfaction at the end. She did everything "right" and isn't very happy.
She clearly loves Grey - the best content from Lily is honestly seeing her interact with her daughter in a positive and loving way - but she has some feelings that she really needs to work out with some support.
Maybe she will enjoy Grey a bit more now she is getting older.
