Watching her vlog: "I've got these like marks from where I had spots."

Scars. They're scars, Lily. Jesus.

You’d be surprised how many women are clueless about these things. I was listening to a podcast where the host talked about her having trouble with conceiving. She and her husband had no idea about ovulation so they were just having unprotected sex here and there. After a year of trying they saw a fertility specialist who told them about the right timing. And boom, they got pregnant on their first try. (This was in Finland btw, where they definitely teach kids about these things in biology.)

I partly blame films and TV shows where all unprotected sex seems to lead to a pregnancy. But even if you don‘t remember these things from school, surely you would look them up when they you start having sex?

My sex Ed was non existent (I am Russian, andit’s just not allowed to be taught in schools because the government like to pretend that kids don’t have sex under the age of 18 ) and when I started having sex I was mainly looking up on how to NOT get pregnant. Most people in Russia stay pretty uneducated in that regard, unfortunately. I am more educated now in regards to ovulation and stuff, but I am not planning to learn a lot about it till I will actually plan to have a baby.
I must say that although Lily is saying how difficult it was and it took them 6 months it is better than the usual media portrayal of “they had sec one and she got pregnant”.

Just started listening to their podcast about pregnancy and motherhood, and I think they are not doing themselves any favour talking about certain things as it just show how uneducated they are.

I really cannot understand how two women over 30 talk about ovulation, menstrual cycle and fertility in terms like they are 13. Lily says she didn’t know you’re only fertile a couple of days a month. At one point Anna says (and this is a verbatim quote): “I’ve only learned this through like speaking to you and to friends who were trying, that it’s so much to do with your ovulation cycle which is this kind of mystery thing.” Mystery thing?!? - no Anna, it’s basic biology you learn about at the age of circa 12.

If nothing else, pop culture, even on the level of their interest, is also full of jokey references to couples trying for a baby. Does Anna not remember when Monica and Chandler were ttc and timing her ovulation?!?

They also giggle over things that a 13 year old would no longer find embarrassing and would be totally cool discussing.

After listening to this I will no longer be surprised by any dumb thing these two say or do.

Its childish and disrespectful to viewers/listeners who are going through a difficult fertility, if they canr even educate themselves on the basics they should shut up!!

Why does Lily have to 'quietly type' in her office as it's next to Grey? Surely you could not hear that next door? And if she did, would she not be used to that by now seeing as both her parents use that office? She often says she can't do this or that because Grey is sleeping upstairs or in a different room. I understand not blasting music, but surely you can carry on with whatever you're doing when baby is asleep?

IMO you make a rod for your own back with being deathly quiet when kids/babies are asleep, also things like black out blinds just make things more difficult. We always pressed on with cleaning and all sorts when my son was a baby. He will sleep through anything now

IMO, is procrastination. You keep thinking about all these obstacles that stop you from doing well. Just like when I was a student, whenever there is a need to do my coursework/ assignments, I focus on the need to clean instead. She keeps telling herself these crap like carpet is not good, this is loud, the gallery wall is not there to justify why she is so lazy and her content is never up to par

Her latest carpet rant, she says her office has no characters. witch please, she got rid of all the victorian features in her house and replaced it with mumbo jumbo trends that sadly doesn't go well.

Just wanted to say the same, it seems like they’ve made that rod for their own backs. Surely if your baby can only sleep with blackout blinds, it’s suddenly a nightmare when you stay somewhere else that doesn’t have them? And the sound of typing or cleaning IN A DIFFERENT ROOM surely shouldn’t be so disturbing. I think they’re both just really anal about Ecru’s routine and naps in absolute silence and whatnot.

Hey Lily leave the man alone haha

I rewatched one of her bedroom makeover videos (I don’t know why, don’t ask) and she said specifically that replacing the carpet was not an option because they had spent so much money on it. So why is it suddenly ab option NOW when she finds that grey carpet doesn’t go with a grey wall in her “office” that will be converted into Grey’s bedroom in a year’s time? None of this makes any sense! And even if you were so bothered by the grey mismatch, why not just repaint??

I think her office is the nicest room among all the rooms in her house. She is going for the beige aesthetic that every interior influencers are doing now. I dislike her bedroom, it makes me feel like I am about to throw up (idk weird). Also her office alone will have beige carpet while the rest will be grey.... then she will kicking herself that it is mismatched and she is anxious because of that, and she needs to change them all.

I’ll say it. Thank you mom and dad for not doing the black out blinds, noise machines, and continuing to carry on with your day-to-day stuff because when I went to university and had to share a room for the first time in my life (I’m an only child), it was a godsend not waking up every time my student athlete roommate had to go to practice at 5 AM.

When she was like 3 weeks old they 'had to' sit in a dark room with white noise on because else she would not sleep. Or they 'had to' drive around with her. They started very very early with this kind of stuff, and I remember thinking they were really making a rod for their own backs. She now so often says she can't do something downstairs because Grey is sleeping upstairs. And they want to add another baby? How will that work out then?

 

[KittenKaboodle]

Watching her vlog: "I've got these like marks from where I had spots."

Scars. They're scars, Lily. Jesus.

Considering she is a 30(?) year old woman she is pretty inarticulate. She reminds me of my old boss (in one of my first jobs) that used to pick us up if we said 'like' too much "Are they like marks?! Or are they marks?

 

[zigandzag]

She just wants to do up the room because she’s desperate for content. The soul searching she is doing to choose between the 3 shades for beige for her carpet is just so that grey carpet is pristine and inoffensive why change on a whim she’s so wasteful and spoilt it’s actually really horrible to witness.

Yes!! My mum did the same thing with me as a kid- she insisted on carrying on as normal- as a result, I can literally sleep in the middle of a party and wake up rested

Listened to the podcast and the bit where she wanted to tell everyone to have a kid really grinded my gears. How insensitive and naive- she said she had a kid because she was bored of going to Kings Cross every weekend morning. No lily, that's because you're boring and you can't think of anything better to do. This woman is deranged.

The vlog was a desperate cry for a carpet. And the fact she had openly admitted she hates spending money (the "honest" vlog) this vlog was a glaring plea for freebies. Also the clothes are horrrifc. Why does she insist on buying clothes that are the same colour as her skin tone and therefore makes her look ill?!

 

[KittenKaboodle]

I think its already been said but haul videos, especially in the current climate, are just abhorrent to me.

 

[HereForHaters]

Watched her vlog and this must be the laziest content I’ve seen for a while... all it does is mimic what she’s already put on Instagram so I’ve seen everything already (nice to get a reminder of how truly AWFUL the Victorian ghost dress is though). Also, she’s not lived in that house for two years and she’s already having to re-do rooms? If she knew Beige would eventually move into the ‘office’ then why didn’t she just have Beige in there from the start and use the box room as her office? Even that drives me crazy, especially at the moment. Everyone is working from home without an office and doing their jobs just fine!

 

[lemonlime]

Maybe her dress is an homage to the Victorian soul of the house which she murdered for the sake of instagram trends.

 

[HorseFacePebbles]

I wish we could see her go through a Les Mis / Anne Hathaway descent into homelessness with all her hair cut off etc

 

[Libertine1975]

She is an idiot. If you hate spending money leave the carpet. If it's going to be your daughters room it will probably get covered in all sorts over time anyway. Also dont pick what everyone else is going for at the time pick what you like. Things you like are less likely to date than current trends

Also how much is she going to witch when Grey wants a pink princess bedroom goes totally against her wish for a bland beige house.
