RVKloves #4 Grabby and Grandad’s baby arrives, another moment commercialised

[Libbie]

Long time lurker but she's finally pushed me over the edge to comment. I know exactly where she lives as I grew up around there and she is actually closest to Watford I'd say. She is NO WHERE NEAR St Albans - it's actually real schlepp to get there from her house (which is not in the idyllic countryside- it's 30 seconds from the M25).

It literally is 30 seconds from the M25, and the most horrifying thing is that she’s documenting her life .. movements, routine and the baby all over the internet, if someone wanted to access her or the baby it would be very easy to do so, she’s given them all the information! I can’t believe how lapse these ‘Instamums’ are with personal security and that of their children and extended families!

Now the tag for montezumas wondering where to buy, given that they’re in all the supermarkets and one look at their Instagram page shows you can buy online.... could the freebie beg be any more blatant..... how many days will it be before it’s #ad #gift thank you montezumas for the kindly gifted chocolates....



It’s just a bit sad and disturbing isn’t it.....

It’s a bit desperate isn’t it when you start asking for freebie chocolate too

I swear it’s like an addiction. Like gambling or drinking or something. She gets a high off free stuff

 

[Meringue22]

So she struggles to reply to her friends on WhatsApp but she can post endless pics/post stories/tag companies/beg for freebies on Instagram? This girl needs to get her priorities right pronto

If I were one of her friends I’d be pretty pissed off that I couldn’t get a text back but she’s got time to go on Instagram stories to try and score herself some free chocolate that she can well afford...plus all the #gifted baby stuff! This girl is unbelievable...

She is shocking

Thank you! I just saw this story and newly spewed up my Rich Tea biscuit. Sorry friends, can't be bothered to reply to your texts because I've upped my drawbridge. But I have had time to create a baby account and post on it AT LEAST 45 times plus, let's face it, probably stories too. As well as many to my own.

Is she actually insane?

I mean who needs real friends when you have 85000+ Internet stalkers?

 

[Libertine]

Hate to say this but I’ve seen her and hubby get out the car , set up a picnic take photos which were later posted and then pack up and go home within 15 mins all at St Albans !!

It’s the same with her ‘travel’ posts.

I’ve been to some of the same destinations she has travelled to. She knocks over four attractions in a day that each deserve a full day or more to be properly explored and enjoyed. I’m positive she asks her followers for destination advice then makes a shopping list of places to take instaworthy photos.

The best analogy I can think of is asking Instagram the best places to experience some culture in London.

Then scheduling:

9-10am at the British Museum
10.30-11.30am at the Natural History Museum
12-1pm at the Portrait Gallery
1.30-2.30 at the Tate Modern

Take copious photos at each attraction and go back to the #gifted accommodation to watch Netflix.

She isn’t a traveller; she’s a content creator. Travel is wasted on her.

 

[Eyerolling]

She “needs to figure out where to buy” product and tags product. If you click on the tag it brings you to their Instagram page with website where to buy clearly marked what a blatant beg for free chocolate it’s getting beyond cringe worthy now, I am actually beyond embarrassed for her

What a waste. But I suppose this is why I'm no good at creating content, I much prefer to do things and enjoy myself.

Begging some free chocolate now

Saw that. And she said she was sent the chocolate by a lovely client. What kind of clients does she have?

She is no different to a beggar on the street corner, who she probably turns her nose up at in disdain. You can try to disguise it in as many middle class cliches as you like, but It’s still begging! An absolute desperado.

Your so right, I’ve often thought how much they’ve shoehorned into each day on holiday. You can’t do that if your actually enjoying each place taking it all in, but Grabbys all about the gram not the culture

Maybe since she’s spending the next couple of days at home she could order some Montezuma’s chocolate online...as she lives online and never bloody leaves.

Even the birth of her daughter and being a mum to a newborn won’t make her give up the ‘gram for a while. Poor Freya.

 

[Starshining]

... and so you should. That is how everyone else experiences life and not staring down a camera lens x

 

[Gossipqueen30]

Haha, Grabby is back to her usual tricks again! “I need to find out where to buy this chocolate from”... even though I’ve tagged them so I’ve obviously already found them on Instagram, and seen that they have a website. What she means to say is “I’ve looked them up on Instagram, seen that they charge nearly £4 for a bag of chocolate buttons, plus delivery, and thought ‘duck that, I’ll beg for some for free’” We can see right through you Grabecca you greedy little tit!!

(Apologies if anyone has already commented about the chocolate stories, haven’t had time to read previous messages!)

Been on here for a while but never commented before. The thing that has frustrated me more recently is that everything in their life is celebrated as an event. I don't have children but I imagine that getting the birth registered is just a task that needs doing, and I wouldn't be getting my husband and mum to come with me. When my husband does on the odd occasional work from home he's working all day and doesn't have time to leave his little office. I suppose if you have loads of help and more time to yourself that's why everything seems amazing to her but it just feels unrealistic to have this way of thinking. Maybe it's just my upbringing that was very different makes me think this way.

My husband went to register our son's birth on his own as I was so poorly after his birth. Every day seems to be a photo opportunity in Rebecca's world. Really not sure why Mumma had to tag along too. Feel a bit sorry for her husband, he's always on the edges.

This. My partner would be having a serious word if my Mum(ma ) was constantly with us!!!!
