I agree, I've thought this for a while. Lily is clearly struggling with several things and I think that she would really benefit from stepping back from the internet and taking some time to just find herself.
I say this as a first time mum myself with a 15 month old. I had always hoped to have kids and was so over the moon when we welcomed my son but was still so unprepared for the transition to becoming a mum. It took me until he was about a year to feel like myself or the new version of myself, but I feel like I let myself have that time to grow and work it out and focus on being a mum and my family. Especially during these crazy covid months, when we haven't had as much support.
I think sadly living her life on the internet Lily is just consumed with keeping up the insta blogger life and holding on to the 'old lily' and now keeping up with the newtons. She hasn't let herself figure out and settle into this new stage in her life. She just keeps churning out 'content' that isn't that interesting anymore.
A few years ago I set up a home Instagram to share our own house renovation as I love design and interiors. But I stopped in the end because I realised that it stressing out because I felt I had to keep up with new exciting posts even though it took time and it also made me more critical and down about stuff in our home that wasn't quite 'right' or was taking time. I realised it wasn't just for me or fun anymore and it wasn't healthy. Once stopped I felt I could enjoy and appreciate my home so much more.
I feel like Lily would benefit so much from disconnecting from the internet, taking time for herself and revaluating what's she's doing. (Not that she would cause it's her job
) I just feel like she hasn't got any real direction and drive. I just find it sad to see because I see some of the struggles I've had over the past year or so but I've not had to play it out on the internet and force myself to live up and fail to be to this insta chic persona. It's not like I'm her biggest fan or anything, like most here she completely infuriates me most of the time, I just used to enjoy her old videos but I feel like she's got lost and sucked in the the whole influencer life and is floundering.
Sorry this got super rambly
first time I've posted on this thread, I've got lots to get off my chest

Meanwhile in the Newton household...
Anna: Oh my word what has Lily done to the downstairs
Mark: Is that where Rich will have to put all his clothes, so it's closer to his poo toilet?

I hope you’re joking. What child wants a grey toy kitchen. Let that poor kid have some colour
I bet Lily would spray her daughter grey if she could
I doubt there were even nails sticking out of the bottom. Who PUSHES a piece of furniture along the floor and then is surprised when the floor scratches? She is such an idiot.Oh no Lily ruined her freebie floor..she’ll probably beg for a freebie replacement now
You don't push furniture about on wooden or tiled floors and you should have felt glides on the bottom to prevent scratches from little movements.

Yay! I predicted the video!
I like the style of the new cupboards (in a different context!) but they look so strange next to her living room and with the kitchen. They're a very distinct modern Scandi style which is so different to the dark, more victorian-style kitchen and living room. The flat cupboard doors with cut-out handles just don't go with her kitchen cupboards, with the moulding and the brass handles. I noticed that she was really careful not to show how it looked next to the living room so I'm sure there's a paint job coming soon.
She's planning to replace her kitchen table to something smaller because 'in this day and age, we don't have 10 people over'. What about next year? Or the year after?! This just shows how short term she thinks in terms of furniture and decor. Would this be dining table number 3 for their house?
New prediction time: based on her saying that she wants somethings smaller and oval, it will be a birch ply, pale wood, scandi style table. It will clash horribly with her kitchen and she'll need to buy new chairs because the bench won't ft with a rounder table.

Oh my WORD, I didn’t realise that the runway was the equivalent of a proper room 
I thought it was like a metre or so wide (I don’t watch her YouTube videos, and pay limited attention when watching her stories).
In that case, can you imagine what a BEAUTIFUL reading nook that could be (for somebody else who is not Lily, and can style a space and is literate)? Bookcases in both alcoves, a pair of gorgeous wing-backed armchairs, a stylish and cosily-lit floor lamp, and actual ART on the walls...
Urgh, this property is wasted on her.

From her vlog "Camel is a neutral but not boring like black and grey"
Maybe that's an excellent reason not to name their child Grey, mhmmm Lily?

Something here sticks out like a sore thumb, to say the least.
She's delusional lmao. The fact that she didn't include Amy in this story, even though Amy's clearly the only person people really compare her to...

Lily doesn’t fully comprehend what a pandemic is though, she doesn’t quite get it. She doesn’t realise people are dying from this because she doesn’t see it first hand. She also probably doesn’t fully comprehend the extent to which this pandemic has damaged families financially. She just sits at home and moans about having to stay at home. She would have been insufferable during the world wars

Lily is one of these people who is never happy with what she has -even though she has a lot. This new round of knee jerk renovations (diarrhoea wall, disaster shelves, talk of a loft renovation) have all occurred in a rush due to her raging jealousy at the fact Anna has bought a house.
Yep, and that's from an influencer who has a dedeicated BLM highlights in her stories.

No, you're not the only one who hates it.

What we learnt here is that Rich doesn’t have foot fetish
