I’ve been sitting on some thoughts yesterday, I hope you don’t mind me having a mini rant about it here

it wouldn’t make any sense to do it anywhere else!
So back to the pram shopping (sorry to bring it up again!) I will be INCENSED if this pair of over privileged 30 year old millionaires are gifted a pram. And this probably does come from a place of jealousy, I will fully admit!
Let me explain- I’m currently 12 + 4 weeks pregnant and I lost my job 3 weeks ago due to lack of funding (I worked for a charity). I had a covid wedding in October with sights on wedding reception to be held this September. We have cancelled this now, as we desperately need that money to go on baby rather than that. Which we are happy with, because you have to prioritise and sometimes make big sacrifices when starting a family (I haven’t seen any evidence that these two will ever have to do that).
The sheer audacity of these two, blatantly angling for free products when so many of us will struggle to pay for these things but will make it work because we HAVE to. They could afford to buy any pushchair they wanted, whilst barely making a slight dent in their finances. The fact that they put minimal effort into making their money irks me, but that’s another rant for another day!
As for companies using influencers to advertise their products... I would MUCH rather see a person of influence buying something with their own money as this would make me think “yeah, this must be a good product if they have all the choice in the world and they’ve chosen this one”. I would be 100x more likely to look at it as a valid option to buy. I don’t know about you guys, these days when I see companies just giving stuff away for free it immediately puts me off them!
I have no idea why I followed Zoe in the first place, I think she was just a random Instagram follow years ago haha! The pregnancy content has been the last straw for me though. She has not been relevant at all for pregnant women (my opinion) and is not relatable whatsoever.
Right rant over!! Back to normal business
