It matches grandads colouring - the nursery. Matchy matchy maybe?That’s when you have to give it to Hunter & Heels, she replies to them all but I think that’s more to up her engagement figures

Do you think when ‘stammers get gifted things like photo shoots or experiences from individuals,rather than clothes/items from bigger companies, that they offer to pay something towards it? Honestly, if a photographer offered me a free shoot and photos I’d feel so awkward not even paying a little bit as a way of saying thank you, especially if I knew I could afford it and planned to get one anyway! I just find it hard to comprehend that people really don’t find it awkward!
Especially when it's #gifted rather than an agreed AD (i.e. a business deal). You're getting a photoshoot for free and you don't even have to post it. I agree it's very cheeky. The photographer may have approached her and offered it for free, probably in the hope of some free exposure (pardon the pun!), but that doesn't mean it's morally right to accept when you can clearly afford to pay for it. I hope they at least send a very generous gift back, ideally one of the same value as the photoshoot.
Also, why are we not addressing the real issue here. Why did they not get fave photographer Binky to do baby's first photoshoot. Presumably she wasn't fast enough with the offer of a freebie.
I’m hoping she has morals and therefore wasn’t prepared to do a shoot for free. Or maybe she doesn’t need the exposure. Either way Grabby is a disgrace. Greedy little bugger
Unless the deal is photo shoot for free and then you pay for what you want to keep?
There used to be a company which did this (frantically trying to remember their name). The shoot would include as many family members as you wanted even pets and it's the now clichéd things like the whole family's feet or all jumping up in the air together, you know the type.
A couple of friends variously went into this and did the shoot, got one free 7x5 picture and then had to pay for whatever else. First friend, horrified on going to the viewing, chose one picture and that was around £350 maybe
the other got sucked in and ended up admitting to spending c. £2000 on photos, canvases and memory sticks.
Let's hope it's something like this and not yet another grabathon

Lol as if. The company who did it don't do those packages, the newborn shoot is £500 for 20 images at her studio. So even worse, she got to have one at home and didn't even need to leave the house.
I'm sorry but I really can't get past the horrible tweets about having children. Of course it's fine to change your mind at some point in your life but there was never any need to be so horrible in the first place and make comments like that. And now she's all 'how did we get so lucky', 'dream come true' BS. And of course she had the perfect labour and is probably breastfeeding with ease etc. Such a twit!

So so unbelievably smug. Best bloody everything! Basically “look at me peasants I am the luckiest of all, bask in my gifted glory!”
Tweets from bashing mums to someone who thinks she is the first woman to have a baby and behaves accordingly.
Also, on her stories ‘buggy walks which are slow these days when people we know in our village rush over to say congratulations and have a peek’. Do they though? Do they?!
Probably ‘there’s that jumped up little madam who parades her life on Instagram and thinks we all care!’

Probably ‘there’s that jumped up little madam who parades her life on Instagram and thinks we all care!’I just KNEW she’d find it all blissful and wonderful. I nearly said so when everyone was saying what a shock it’d be and how hard she’d find it.
The things that make having a baby so hard simply don’t apply to her. She has endless support with a husband who barely works and parents at her beck and call. Lots of woman simply don’t have that. My husband works away so 10 days after my second son was born he was off working away. My parents live 300 miles away. They have no money worries whatsoever, no need for Ben to get back earning or her to worry if mat pay will be enough. They have a huge, beautiful house and garden- space like that is such a luxury and makes having a baby easier and every (gifted) item they could dream of to ease the pressure.
She has no idea just how privileged she is and it’s quite sickening to see how smug and boastful she is but I am NOT surprised in the slightest. I could’ve predicted everything would be a wonderful, blissful time for her.

Exactly. Most husbands are back to work within 2 weeks, he's probably going to take the next year off just to help out. 
The thing is, even if she WAS struggling, as if she'd ever admit that! She has to keep up the front of having the perfect life.

If I’d have seen all of these posts in my first week post birth I’d have felt pretty miserable that it wasn’t my experience. I think I know one person who had such an easy time out of so many women. Bloody typical!
I just don’t understand how anyone can be quite so out of touch with reality and be so pleased with themselves! She doesn’t come across as a particularly nice/warm/funny/interesting person so I am quite baffled as to why people might aspire to be like her on the ‘gram
Totally agree that she has had the easiest run possible and has no idea of the challenges that everyone else faces day to day, with regard to working/financial commitments/childcare/mat leave etc. If I were her parents I would feel worried by her outlook and the cosseted, pampered little life I had given her.
It really worries me that new mums and mums to be may see accounts like hers and think this is the norm/expectation.

I have to say when I watched the stories this morning, even me (cynical & seasoned IG user and fan of deconstructing narratives) thought “I wish my first week post birth had been like that”. I had a pretty bad hospital birth experience, did not love my child straight away, found motherhood shocking and exposing, and it took me years to come to terms with that being ok.
Yet, I also only put the nice bits onto my grid/stories but I hope it comes over that I acknowledge how lucky I am?
I think maybe also what grates with rvk is similar to what grates with other accounts - the lack of acknowledgement that whilst they *may* work hard (and we don’t know what work she does for her husbands company, she may do all the admin etc? Or maybe she does nothing aside from blogging which is still admin heavy even if benefits no one other than herself) they are in that privileged position because of LUCK and being born / marry into money, sometimes both. I envy the big garden so she can relax in peace without having to drag herself to the park, I envy the space for a nursery etc. But she has that because of circumstances and that is what is never acknowledged. (Sorry that went on a bit)

Having lived a post natal nightmare for the first two weeks I would never wish it on anyone. That said I really do worry that it’s all a bit irresponsible. It’s not usual to be up and out so quickly, it’s not usual to have parents who can cone and help, it’s not usual to have your first baby in a massive fully done up house that you can keep immaculate. She has an audience, some of whom will be first time parents themselves one day, I would hate for them to feel bad because their experience is unlikely to be the same!
She’s essentially posted an advert....how she can feel comfortable with all the freebies she got for that baby?! She disgusts me. She’s such a smug little cow and she couldn’t resist mentioning the food their friends dropped round was from F&M I really thought she’d struggle (as I did) but then I didn’t have people waiting on me hand and foot while I lay in my #gifted bed. I had to get on with it and juggle having a baby alongside everything else....which I think is the norm for many of us!

I agree with that you’ve written. Seeing Grabbys perfect little life would be mess with the head of many new mums. She has no idea how lucky she is
Not a single note of thanks in any of those posts - just pure showing off. No thanks for the hamper of food, the parents helping, the bracelet, the gazillion gifted bits of kit, the photo shoot. She never directly thanks people or acknowledges her good fortune.
