I definitely see all of this. I am not a mother so I try not to be harsh because I have heard horror stories about mommy blogging communities being overly critical. But yep, they either try and do the pregnancy is magical or else they pretend they have the same financial limitations that can come with parenting as normal people. I think both can be harmful messages if there is never any nuance.OK so this might rub some of you the wrong way but I'm alreaaaady sick of Louise mentioning she's pregnant at every chance. I know she's suffered a loss and is probably very happy BUT she's barely 5 minutes pregnant and acting as though she's the first woman to procreate. Her "pregnancy glow" nonsense and stories about her hair "not doing the pregnancy thing" have annoyed me. With her announcement being quite subtle but seemingly open about her fears and the honesty around their loss I was really hoping she wasn't going to go down this route - I guess she's reverted back to her former picture perfect lifestyle once again.
I've noticed since these Chelsea lot have started having kids that they're doing this whole pregnancy is all rainbows and fairies facade. It's infuriating tbh. Yeah in many ways pregnancy is magical and a wonderful time for mother to bond with baby BUT in far more many ways pregnancy is very hard, usually the only "pregnancy glow" you get is sweat from minor movements causing complete exhaustion & in my experience the hair "doing the pregnancy thing" was just shedding and shedding. Not to mention the position of complete privilege they live in, can't imagine Louise worrying about affording all her baby stuff or having to work in a stressful full time job until 9 months. No she can quite happily spend the next 10 months simply washing her face for a couple grand advert payment and popping off to lunch while she posts passive aggressive disclaimers about comments on her posting alcoholic looking drinks as if 1. Anybody is genuinely fucking bothered about she is or isn't drinking and 2. Would even see said drinks if she wasn't posting it to begin with.
Piss off
Add Ashley James to that list!I definitely see all of this. I am not a mother so I try not to be harsh because I have heard horror stories about mommy blogging communities being overly critical.

I think Millie and Binky liked using their pregnancy journey and subsequent births to push annoying sponsored ads on Instagram. Millie in particular always seems to get a lot of gifts from companies and like multiple strollers for some reason/ got free decorating for her nursery/ posts about being a 'working mum' during the pandemic (even though I am pretty sure she and Hugo went away on a few holidays during lockdown just like Spencer and Vogue). Right now they are in Devon, promoting what I think is a sponsored holiday/cottagecore aesthetic. With Binky, I remember she took apart her house and renovated it a few times and got all these sponsors for everything. Louise's reno will probably be revealed as a sponsorship thing when it is time to decorate.
I think what bothers me most about all of them is that they get so many sponsorships and it's either for really nice stuff they can likely afford on their own or for things that are low quality and they would never actually use for their kids or selves outside of the ad.
I have to say I disagree. It’s her first child, also the first child in the family she’s understandably very excited. I don’t mind her going on about it personally, I’m really happy for them. Pregnancy is different for everyone, I didn’t enjoy mine as I felt so awful but that doesn’t mean other people can’t enjoy theirs.OK so this might rub some of you the wrong way but I'm alreaaaady sick of Louise mentioning she's pregnant at every chance.

Because Louise wants a lavish fairytale wedding which you can't have at the the moment. People have always questioned her loyalty by not marrying Ryan but its obvious she just wants a big wedding so is holding off. She has the baby now so wedding isn't probably so important to her any more as she can dine out on pregnancy for a while.Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased for her and have nothing against her being happy about the pregnancy... my issue is the facade and ignorance around it all. I've stopped following just before I wrote that post but it's not just Louise, it's influencers in general; they do it with a lot of aspects of life but pregnancy is a particularly dangerous one to paint as perfectly magical and easy, imo. Honestly 12 weeks is still very early in a pregnancy and for many people it won't have even impacted their life or body in most ways that she is already talking about yet, some of the stuff she has been posting is just plain nonsense and imo, it comes across as her posting to play some sort of "pregnant woman" role more than to share her genuine experience, tbh. Like the page long last of "cravings" that she posted for one example ffs, that's not cravings that's general hunger...
Anyways though, does anybody have any idea why they have seemingly stopped planning a wedding and decided to the for a baby first? Idk if I missed something
Where as I was the opposite, I see him as the master manipulator, seems to have been like a long time coming, obviously doesn’t take away from the break up itself but the way they got together is still giving me the creeps!My heart broke for Rez at the end
Oh yeah no that relationship was flawed AF, but I had a moment of sympathy for him in the previewWhere as I was the opposite, I see him as the master manipulator, seems to have been like a long time coming, obviously doesn’t take away from the break up itself but the way they got together is still giving me the creeps!
I grew up in France myself, she's typical in my eyes. French women tend to be quite loud (at least in France). The typical "French" mean girl from high school.How boring would it be without Maeva though? I can't say I've met many French women, but the ones I've met have been quite ... poised and a bit quiet maybe? Definitely not blowing up every 5 minutes like Maeva, so I don't take her as 'typical'.
I knew she would behave in exactly this manner. Louise is a d head let’s not forget that.Speaking of Louise I have been watching old seasons of made in chelsea and honestly I’m shocked her and Ryan have lasted! The episodes I watched recently were their two year anniversary and ryan planned gesture after gesture and he said she didn’t even get him so much of a card. Also just watched the engagement episode and she jokes with her mum that she didn’t get Ryan a birthday card and they had quite a few rows before he proposed. She seems so selfish!
Ruby is extremely selfish. You get the feeling if this wasn’t being filmed she’s would’ve done what she clearly usually did and simply cheat on him.My heart broke for Rez at the end
Then he’s even more of a mug! Like the relationship has clearly expired! A long long time agoRuby is extremely selfish. You get the feeling if this wasn’t being filmed she’s would’ve done what she clearly usually did and simply cheat on him.
