Her USP was being a Brit in America, and having a young family. She’s exactly what a lot of Americans think people over here are like, and she played up to that stereotype. I did enjoy her content as it was interesting to see the everyday differences.
The issue was, she hadn’t lived in the UK for several years (10 I think) and like everywhere in the world, things change. I think she had a very stereotypical attitude when describing the uk, so it’s almost like she’s had her eyes opened and it’s not as rosey as she remembered!
Those friends she grew up with, have all got on with their lives and have made new friends, her family haven’t seen her very often, and when she lived there, she wasnt married and had no children.
Ive lived here my whole life, and when I remeniss about life ten years ago, I probably don’t recall it as it was. I think she was expecting life to have stood still and she’d just slot back in, forgetting that she’s a different person than she was.
Due to the above, Kyle will be in for a HUGE shock, as he’s expecting us all to be like Mary poppins, and I think she was too. It’s not all about getting used to saying Pavement, chips, crisps, and nappies, and making videos “what my American husband calls these items”. It’s been done to death.
I can’t imagine her being overly sympathetic to him adjusting, and she’ll expect him to just get on with life. I’m pretty sure when she moved over, she was a novelty to Kyle’s family and friends, and they only had 1 baby, so could do more. However, she regularly spoke about being lonely and finding making friends a challenge. I really felt for her, as when I moved away from my home town, I knew no one where I’d moved to. I made friends at work, but Caroline was a SAHM. However, I now wonder if the reason she was friend less was because of her. Again, the novelty of having a “British Friend” soon wears off when they moan and constantly slag off your country.
