Lily Pebbles

[ReginaFilange]

Oh dear god Poor Lilly is tired today . It astounds me that she has no idea of what it’s like in the real world! She will say “I know some people have no support.,” etc like she has an actual f*cking clue! She moaned her entire pregnancy and god does it continue! All of this under the guise of “keeping it real”. Try being 8 months pregnant with a 40 hour week in a real job, that’s real! She is sitting in a house full of “gifted” stuff, her baby was showered with “gifted” stuff. Hello fresh feeds them. Her husband does whatever she wants (#noballs) and has just went back after 6 weeks paid leave with more leave later in the year and she still moans! Meanwhile back in reality women have tough pregnancies, labours, difficult babies, husbands at work after a week, financial problems, stuff they have to actually buy with their own money, that’s real Lily! She is one of the most annoying people on social media!

Why would she have needed to pump that much in the ten minutes she breastfed for?!
You aren’t supposed to really pump until feeding is established at about six weeks which is when she stopped and then unless you go to exclusively pumping, until you go back to work, most people only want to express enough for someone else to be able to give them a bottle. Do you really need to express that badly in the first six weeks that you are doing it in front of visitors?!
It annoys me that she said she didn’t want to discuss her breastfeeding journey in a video.... but is fine to do a paid partnership for a barely used breast pump. It’s so crass.

Lily playing with her baby on time lapse has all the enthusiasm of a wet weekend sorting through your tax returns...

Do they bath Grey 3 times a day or..? No bath at the hotel so they’re bathing her in the sink. Nothing wrong with that but a baby that age doesn’t need a bath every single night. Didn’t they even bring a bath with them when they went for a takeaway

 

[faceface]

Sigh...her table got delivered and she assumed the delivery people would assemble it: wrong. It was ordered from Made.com.....everybody knows you have to assemble that stuff yourself. How can someone not know these basic things?

Oh and part of her caption on Stories for that type of thinking is: "Good luck Rich!' Seriously Lily? You are making him do this ALONE? Are you handicapped or something?

£1320 of lipstick! Her sore lips means she probably won't be able to wear them either!

I hate how much she goes on about her body now. A lot of people are that size (or bigger), baby or no baby, that’s the body we live in. And that’s absolutely fine?! We’re not spending our days feeling total distain for ourselves, we’re just normal people living our lives. What I can’t stand is logging into social media and having to watch someone constantly going out about how awful their body is, when it’s a body that lots of other people have. The fact she does it without even considering for one second how it might make others feel, or the message she’s giving out, shows how truly self absorbed she is. Also newsflash lily: you won’t have the body that you had in your 20s for the rest of your life. Get over it and get on with your life, like most people do.

Also a ps in case she does read this: you have a daughter now, in a world more obsessed with looks and bodies and weight than ever before. Be responsible about how you talk about your body. Don’t pass down the same narrow and damaging ideas that you have about bodies, that have been ingrained in you. Don’t have her grow up with that kind of parent.

This exactly. I hate how she conflates her baby daughter with her weight gain - that “worth every inch” comment made me feel really uncomfortable. Plus, all of her body works as it should which is a huge privilege she never recognises.

I have a daughter who was born just after Grey so I completely get the feeling of your body being alien to you after childbirth - it takes a lot of adjusting to and especially after your first baby (I’m on my second now so more hardy ) it can really knock you for six. However, she has a large audience of impressionable young women many of whom I bet live in bigger bodies than hers (me included) and the way she writes about her size is... problematic. You can share your body image struggles whilst also recognising your slim privilege and accepting that all bodies are valid and worthy of love.

Way to make somebody else’s wedding all about her.

£45 for a bloody changing mat?! Mine was £4 from the supermarket and does us just fine! Unbelievable.

Honestly if she says 'porous' one more time. Why have kids if you're going to be so precious about everything? Hope to god she softens up before her baby turns into a velvet sofa ruining toddler ?

 

[motherofdonkeys]

'PR experience'?, does this woman think she's so special the ASA will allow her to have her own personal hashtags, why can't she just use #gifted?

 

[inspirespirit]

Just watched her for the first time. A kitchen tour. Decided I couldn't sub to someone who didn't know what a tea towel was called so that was short and sweet.

 

[Girl meister]

I don't think that she has bought one single thing for that child.... on another note; she says that life is full of the stress and joy of breastfeeding and there is no time to even wash her hair but still shamelessly plugging a new chanel eye shadow palette, it beggars belief. The problem is that these 'influencers' (I use the term loosely as when I see them plugging a product I make a point of never buying it) have sold their souls to the devil. They must panic about not being on the scene 24/7 as it is their only source of income and if the well ran dry they could never function in a proper job

‘Save up’ who needs to save up when they can buy £100 white slogan t-shirts?

Rich’s Surname is Garnham so that will be her surname.

I actually quite like her name!

Grey Garnham! I just can’t! That’s awful.

Suits Lily’s personality very well. She needs her baby to match her home after all.

 

[Icantbelieveitsnotbutter]

I agree too. I actually think she’s been much better since having the baby - even since before she was pregnant. My only gripe is that I think she thinks she is being groundbreaking by being “real” and it comes off a little patronising - but maybe that’s because I’ve had a baby already and maybe for those that haven’t it’s insightful

 

[Taco Cat]

She is so removed from reality. Her job is a cushy one. What about people earning minimum wage or on zero hour contracts? People who don't get free clothes, baby equipment, hair cuts, food, holidays. They work hard. She has the luxury of staying home with her baby and fitting in some well paid work around that. She's an actual headmelt.

 

[Girl meister]

Now asking her followers for recomendatios for what to take on a hot holiday abroad for a newborn. Loosely translated as what can I get brands to send me for free. She has two sisters who have kids, she could easily ask them but that would not get her anything sent for free would it?

 

[Girl meister]

I still just don't understand how her and Anna are friends. Whilst Anna gets on my nerves with her bland blogging she seems like a really nice person and Lily is just a fun sponge IMO. They just don't go together.
