I'm gonna say something potentially controversial? But I'm just going to hop on it - I feel like there's plenty of valid things to criticize both Anna and Lily about all the time - their personalities, lack of fashion sense, excessive consumerism, the constant typos, etc, etc. But I also feel like people tend to hop on them for things that aren't a big deal either.
Who cares about which curtains she buys? When we moved into our house, we bought ill fitting curtains because we needed something to block the light; we didn't want to have the AC running constantly and we have so many windows that we needed something quick and easy. Why is it so.. "horrible and so annoying" that she was excited about the washing line or having the yard to put up her laundry? I thought that was insanely sweet, because I get that - when I grew up, we lived in apartments, but the minute we had a yard, you can bet my grandma was drying everything outside. I get that excitement. And someone was upset about her taking time off to move in .. like yes, I'm jealous she has that freedom, especially for a job in which she does duck all, but if you have that option, why wouldn't you take it? I move quite frequently because I live in student housing and I would love to be able to take a week to move in.
Like I agree that there's a lot these women do that is so annoying, but I feel like a lot of people tend to blow those things way out of proportion.
The book thing was 100% gross and pretentious though - what's the point of displaying your books if they're backwards?
