I just don’t get it and never will. But sometimes criticism/ concerns can be or feel harsh but when it’s true most people act on it. Becki gets criticism/ concerns she doesn’t change her ways.

Imagine being 30 and someone saying you pronounced that wrong and having no reflective ability to correct it or make more of an effort. Or imagine someone saying your portions look big you should take care of your self better, and again have no reflective ability to think yes that came across harsh but i do eat badly.

I don’t get how she does it. In someways I wish I could do it and maybe I’m way to sensitive but typically if someone says something and I think it’s true I change it up. Obviously some/ a lot of comments are worded horribly but many are polite and true.

I don’t know how she keeps showing up every day and doesn’t feel embarrassed by what’s she sharing with so many people. I feel embarrassed if someone at work says what did you have for tea on a normal evening and I say McDonald’s as a 30year old because to me it comes across as lazy and sloppy. Not anti maccies but time and place.

With her mum helping her consume so many calories

Isn’t the point of baskets to put all your food them? Not half in a basket half on a plate?

The account on TikTok called “sonearsofarsospar” put that video of her dad saying grown up in slow motion. It really made me laugh. Why would she leave that in there. So so embarrassing 😂😂

It was defo defo her who opened whatever it was cos you hear the packet rustling at the beginning (probably hiding the cookie packet). Oh becki 😭😭😭😭

Nah i just had a look & don’t like or agree with the slander of her dad on that. ❌
 
long time lurker and to be fair, with all the comments about her needing to get a job and move out like it’s simple, getting a job isn’t enough these days. I’m a little bit older than her and unfortunately (I say unfortunately but I’m happy enough.) I live at home still with my family. I work 40 hours a week and trying to save, but I just don’t know how the hell a single person with no spouse is supposed to get on the property ladder these days on their own. I’m not gonna throw away money on renting while I’m trying to save either.

but it just feels impossible. that being said and enough about me. she bloody grates on me 🤣

But for her it is simple- she went to Uni part time, she’s had more privilege than most of us to have the opportunity to work from a young age and save whilst living with them, even on min wage, but she didn’t. She would’ve gotten student maintenance money which she could’ve put away in savings too. But she didn’t. Even in adulthood she worked 2 days a week and spent the rest of the time eating. She has had so many opportunities to make the most of her money/time/life but she hasn’t 🤷🏼‍♀️ not to mention where she lives is extremely cheap

Sounds like I’m in a similar situation to you. However becki lives somewhere with house prices cheaper than many others I’ve just done a quick right move search and in her area in the past few days there are a few houses for £145k listed similar to her parents house.

For someone to afford that as a single applicant like beck she would be able to get roughly £90k mortgage from her bank(based on a £20k salary). And then need to save approx £50k I know that’s a lot but I don’t think she really contributes or anything tbh, but a minimum in rent privately would be £5k a year, (a lot of people I know pay between £450-£1000 to rent privately on low/average incomes) if she saved £5k a year for the past 10 years she should have £50k in savings and that’s what she would have been paying privately. So it is somewhat achievable. It’s not like becki is a big spender, she didn’t move out to uni she, she doesn’t have a car, she doesn’t holiday.

She could for example go and sign up to a care agency and work 20hours over the weekend and easily make £200+ every weekend. Over a year that would have been £10000alone. If she reallly wanted to achieve it she could. I don’t think working everyshify under the sun is sensible, but she could do more than what she does. The fact that she easily spends £50 a week on pure junk food she could save that and that would have given her £2400 a year.

I agree it’s not easy and I think that house hunting lady that said millennials need to stop their Netflix and avo on toast was a moron, but in beckis case she is lazy and could have done more.

Just because she lives in a cheap area doesn't mean it's affordable on one income alone. I live in an affordable area where houses are cheap but do I want to worry about money and struggle when things are getting worse as the weeks go on? No I don't. There is literally nothing wrong with still being at home no matter what some people may think. Its the fact that she doesn't do anything, she doesn't have a job and all she does is get chauffeured around. That's the problem 🤷‍♀️

Yeh that’s what we’re saying she’s got all the time in the world to actually graft and get to a point where her income is good enough to borrow (and she had all the opportunities to save whilst living at home as a student) but she’s decided to adopt the lifestyle and work ethic of a slug

I don’t think our issue is the fact she still lives at home.. yes it adds to it slightly but I completely understand why people may choose to still at home or because they can’t afford to move out.. but its the fact she
A) Doesn’t drive and no intention of driving
B) 0 independence. Her mum has to drive her everywhere
C) No career or job..
D) She lives her life like a bloody 15 year old!
E) No friends from what we can see?

I agree nothing wrong with being in a family home. Like I said to the original poster I’m in a similar situation and it’s not easy. I would rather be here than renting a room in a house of peope I don’t know, or buy something that I couldn’t afford to maintain. But becki has expressed a desire to move out. I dont know if she is just saying that tbh. But on the other hand if she did want to buy it is achievable(not necessarily easy) on a single income. Many people do it, if they live within their means.

Her other issues are the more pressing issues currently like you say. She is completely dependent on her family. Idk how she would function living alone especially as it seems like she has no stable income(not entirely sure if she makes much on tiktok) but the fact that she won’t drive or use public transport or walk to anywhere is preventing that.
 
It’s not about living at home, I don’t think people should be shamed for that in this economic climate. It’s that she’s a giant child that fritters her money away on junk food, obviously does no housework other than making her bed, her mum does her washing etc; she can’t even go out and do the family shopping without her mum because she can’t drive, tags along with her mum / nieces everywhere, does not have anything going on in her life other than loafing around. She takes zero responsibility for herself / her health / future its actually pathetic at her age.

Someone called them meat mittens and it’s so accurate 😭
 
I agree with this, however I don't get the issue with her not driving, not everyone wants too. I never wanted too but I got practically forced into doing it and now I obviously am very glad I did because I couldn't imagine not having that freedom now.
Although I don't get why she makes out she takes people everywhere when she obviously can't 😂 even if she got public transport to places would be better then getting her mum to take her

When me and my partner split up for a few months when I was 22 I moved back in with my mum and I would do my fair bit of the house work, pay her lodge, do any other little tasks walk the dog etc all while working full time. Would LOVE to know what becki does all day. I bet even after she bakes she never cleans up after herself or walks that ugly dog
