Oh Grabby Grubby you are so dull. + are a much better combo!
Because her life is so dull she literally has nothing else to post about, she has no talents or interesting hobbies so she flogs her kids for likes. When you have 'achieved' (said loosely) everything before you are 30 what else is there?!Why does she think anyone apart from her family/close friends want to see picture after picture of her kids?! Save them for your private account Grabs
I disagree. She's not pressuring anyone. I don't think her kids have a lot at all. She's not an aspirational parent influencer so I can't see many parents rushing to buy what she does.I get that everyone does things differently, but at a time when cost of living is soaring, people are worried about food costs, fuel costs and energy costs, I personally think it's completely tone deaf (and a bit irresponsible) of 'influences' like grabby to be putting pressure on parents to buy their kids tons of crap, which quite frankly they probably don't need. Maybe I'm just a stingy old cow, I don't know. But my kids seem happy with a few nice things instead of loads. Her kids already seem to have so much...
I agree sheās not extravagant at all. Anything higher end in her kids wardrobes is gifted, otherwise itās H&M or second hand (sorry, preloved) and she buys stuff huge so it lasts ages (those Salties are definitely secondhand and 3 sizes too big. Thereās absolutely nothing wrong with buying things secondhand or shopping at H&M but sheās definitely not a lavish influencer. Gifts she most likely buys on sale and then tries to scrounge the expensive pieces as #prgiftsI disagree. She's not pressuring anyone. I don't think her kids have a lot at all.

People have choices, they can unfollow accounts if they feel upset by someone spending more than they can. Grabby spends the bare minimum though. Shes not extravagent in the slightest! The moths arw flying out of her purse! She's even saying today that she doesn't want to buy Freya pjs unless they are unisex and can be handed to raffy. Kids pjs? Under a tenner in any supermarket for a 3 pack ffs.
I dont have a bank balance like those influencers that buy hermes and chanel however I follow them. I love seeing them with these high end purchases. I dont think "diesel is at an all time high and so is heating oil so flavia better stop flaunting her chanel coffee cups"
How Boring would insta be if everyone stopped buying or showing what they've got because there's a cost of living crisis? It's not real life we are seeing. It's orchestrated social media.
I'm still laughing at grabby being viewed as extravagant with her kids!
Barely tell there's children in the house?Sorry, didn't realise every kid has a huge mud kitchen play area, multiple play areas inside (that weird corner of the living room, their nurseries (or corridor in Waffy's case), that other living area with the log burners crammed full of beige toys where the kitchen is).Does she buy tons of gingham dresses though? She usually wears the same ones over and over and over until they are falling apart and them she sells them for a grand each plus postage.
Shes been wearing next maternity dungarees from she was pregnant with Freya, the saltwater sandals must be at least 4 years old, Ben has had the same shorts from grabby was in nappies.
The shite that litters her house isn't recently purchased. She's had all that shite for years.
She never buys anything. Her kids get plenty of books, I will say that but if you looked at most homes where there is at least 1 child, you will see ikea kallax units rammed with things, dolls and their clothes, Thomas trains, batman stuff, Peppa pig or Paw patrol etc.
There is nothing at all like this in her house. Even the ikea kids kitchen was taken apart and rejigged as it was too normal looking.
Maybe I'm watching different stories to you or seeing different photos but I think you can barely tell there's children in her house if it wasn't for the pram in the hallway and the cot in the corridor.
The clutter in her house is the same clutter that she's had since she bought that house.

Guess Freya doesn't get the privilege of a 'summer sunset bath'.Jeez. Frah frahs hair in the 5th pic of the new glut of allotment pics makes me itch looking at it
exactly thatI think what everyoneās trying to say is:
She doesnāt have loads of money, but she does have loads of crap.
Every item sheās ever bought she still has.
The new aqua play they are getting is portable (= another thing for Ben to carry when they go on holiday, the beach, a fountain behind offices in dreamy Londonā¦.)I agree that she's not extravagant in the sense that's she's not buying expensive designer gear for her kids, that much is obvious.
But she does buy tons and tons of cheap crap on repeat. Her house is crammed full of the stuff, she even needed to turn a nice big living room into a frigging locker room to hoard it all and yet it's still everywhere. In her recent bazillion aff link stories I'm sure she's just replicating half the crap the kids already have just in a slightly different format. Like that aquaplay thing, don't they already have a similar bigger version of that? It's not even just toys for the kids, I swear she buys tons of cheap gingham sack dresses in different colours for under a tenner every year and they all look the same (awful). It's not extravagance, but it's wasteful.
Exactly thisShe is all fur coat and no knickers. Pretends her house is the huge mansion whereas itās a 3 bed semi near Watford practically on the M25 which is crumbling to pieces. Only buys the expensive āinā brands when itās in the sale or second hand, so always a year in advance so nothing fits - clothes and shoes literally hanging off her poor children. Anything expensive is gifted. Flogs all her bobbly, shart stained supermarket clothes. Wonāt buy Freya new PJs unless they are unisex and can pass down to the second child (I bet she was fuming when they found out it was a boy). Yet her husband earns 10 times moreā¦ Only buys toys and clothes to fit in with her bland as #&@ā¬ personality. Constantly moving a F&M basket around her house to ensure itās in the backdrop to photos. Thinks āparentingā is a hobby. Zero brain cells and personality. What a sad little life.
