Her wealth or lack of it isnt really the issue most of us have with her. There are many rich people online with instagram accounts who dont belittle others, show no compassion, boast, beg, patronise and seem so discontent with everything they have. I think this is the real issue. We dont want to focus on her wealth as this makes us all seem jealous and bitter which i dont think any of us are.
I have no issue with her wealth at all, just the way she presents herself and can come across as condescending and disconnected with the reality of many people and just the ‘more more more, me me me’ attitude. It’s all about the attitude and not the bank balance!

It concerns me how some people would look at her photos and assume that is all attainable because she hasn’t been transparent re holidays/gifts etc.

Have just come across this account.

Walking through fields whilst contracting. Ok. I couldn't even think about that but ok. Such a perfect postnatal bubble which is fine but its not really the reality is it? Perfect labour. Wow. Makes me feel like crap. All these perfect insta shots and freebies given to her. Ahhh go away. Oh sorry just the cluster feeding that's causing an issue but slept for dinner.

Wonder if the 4 month sleep regression will hit them like a tonne of bricks or if Ewan the sheep *gifted will make everything better. Sorry I am bitter but I really struggled. Won't be following that's for sure.

Anyone notice how in her latest story she mention ‘ bens mum & Andy’ ! Perhaps she read the comments on here about Bens family being left out !
The worst is EVERY Christmas when she bangs on about how utterly amazing her family are. She insists on recreating her childhood- staying at her parents for the entire weeek and shouting "he's beeeeeeeen" on Christmas morning. They squeeze in an hours visit with poor bens family who clearly aren't insta worthy at all and perhaps don't have a pretty house, or whisper it - maybe not very wealthy.
Bens dad is an accountant. As are his brothers, they have a business together, so you’d assume his Dad is doing ok. I’d like to think Bens mum and Andy just don’t want their pictures all over Instagram but sadly I bet it really is because they’re just not insta worthy 🙄

I think Rebecca has a highly addictive personality and is completely addicted to social media praise and free stuff. She cannot keep away from it.

Her family don’t have the polished, confident look of old money about them. Neither does her husband by any stretch! Rebecca was probably a nice, normal girl from an aspirational family who owned a profitable small business. They worked hard and did well for themselves.

However, her Instagram feed is a cos play of how she believes very wealthy people spend their time and money.

The travel, the house, the clothes, the garden - none of it is authentic. She only posts for three reasons: to incite envy, to beg, to shill. Properly posh people don’t need to do that.

She has replaced an eating disorder with a social media addiction. It’s no way to live one’s life.

Social media is probably damaging Rebecca just as much as it is damaging her followers.
I think I love you 🤣 well said 🙌🏻

I think her pretend-posh-persona has everything to do with the issues people are discussing here!

She has created a caricature of a wealthy, young lady of leisure in order to sell consumer goods to her audience who she hopes will envy, and then try to emulate, her lifestyle.

But she hasn’t quite nailed a wealthy lifestyle, so it doesn’t feel quite right to most of us, which is why we are picking up on the begging and bragging and so on.

She lacks authenticity. This is most likely why she comes across as discontent; a meaningful and authentic life is rewarding and leads to content.

The vast majority of wealthy, young ladies of leisure aren’t hooking up with a plain, older bloke at fifteen years of age. They aren’t getting married at twenty and knocked up at twenty-five. When they travel to exotic locations they aren’t sitting in gifted accommodation of an evening, watching Netflix and eating supermarket food washed down with a lemonade.

Thinking about it more this morning, the expensive car is obviously a business expense. If the family business also has a financial interest in the house, could the entire house and garden be considered a business expense as they are heavily featured on social media?

In fact, did the four directors of the family business sit down for a meeting to discuss the blog and Instagram feed becoming a bit stale, and decide a baby would freshen things up? 😳

Is little Freya tax deductible, too?

This. You’ve hit the nail on the head!

That recent post isn't even a humble brag, it's just a blatant brag. People who stumble onto her posts (and aren't as superb Internet researchers/stalkers as us😁) would believe a young mum is some kind of hinchy hero.

WE know the lie of this, Grandad is probably doing loads of it as his only other career of pointing at bricks, making weird fences, wearing one pair of shorts and chatting up school girls leaves him plenty of cleaning time.

Also the ubiquitous mother is #so much love(d) for being there every minute.

Sod Princess Diana and her "there were three people in my marriage so it was a bit crowded". Poor Gramps has five people in his marriage, grabby, gramps, Mumma, dadda and social media!

She has now resorted to discussing the weather...top content. She could give littlewoodlife a run for her money on the weather chat !

I don't see why the way she stands is an issue tbh. Plenty more pressing issues about her to talk about.
