Not being funny but 23 is still young.. I'm 22 and half way through my second degree, I live at home with my parents and almost all of my friends do too, I'm not ashamed of it, and neither are any of us, moving out is SO expensive, almost none of my friends are in long term relationships/moving out with boyfriends/girlfriends, the last year many of us have lost jobs etc., or have casual jobs because the job market has changed so much recently. I, personally, don't plan on moving out just to rent - I don't want to be putting money into the pocket of a landlord when I could live at home and save for a deposit on a house/earn towards a mortgage etc. It doesn't make you childish to live at home, or babied or anything, it most likely means you're saving to move out and purchase somewhere, rather than basically washing money down the drain and renting, and paying somebody else's mortgage

I envy you lol. I moved out from home when I was 22 and have since spent roughly £56k on rent. It's actually vomit inducing. I could never have stayed at home because I have a poor relationship with my family & also because I wanted to live with my long term partner, but still. It's hideous. Then you fall into the trap where I would pay less on a mortgage, but I can't get one because I never have enough money left to save for a deposit, so it's a perpetual cycle of paying into someone else's pocket.

However, I don't get this vibe with Grace lol, maybe she is saving up behind the scene, but I can't imagine her even having a boyfriend yet nevermind living on her own. She seems this weird combo of SO much younger than her years but also SO much older hahahaha.

Agree, she has mentioned wanting to overcome her home sickness in order to go travelling more as well as visiting her family in Australia. It is much easier to simply get up and go whenever she feels like it when she lives with her parents and pays board as opposed to having a mortgage or extortionate rental prices to worry about! Plus, with all the money she is making from YouTube etc she will most likely be able to go travelling and get a mortgage with a big deposit much quicker whilst living at home.

I am sure her parents will really miss her when she is gone too, she cooks them dinner most nights it seems as well as baking them tasty treats most days! I sure wouldn't want her to leave if that was me haha!

Exactly, I feel like there's such a pressure on my age group to move out at the same age as our parents did, but everything's so much more expensive these days. I can't blame her for wanting to live at home for as long as she's welcome, it's so, so expensive to move out, wanting to save for a mortgage is so much more sensible

yeh I agree, I am from London but lived away for about a decade, but when I moved back I lived with my parents until I was about 31 to save money to buy somewhere, things have changed so much, I remember when I was at school studying Spanish and hearing how people there lived at home until late 20s/30s which seemed crazy at the time but it is very much the norm here now. It is such an unfair system, once you have bought your mortgage will generally cheaper than rent but getting a deposit is so hard

Exactly, which is why so many younger people are living at home to save for deposits because it makes much more sense than spending that money on paying somebody else's mortgage!

Sorry to derail the thread lol, I agree with a lot of what's being said about Grace, but I feel like criticising her for living at home, when it's so tough to move out, is a little unfair

yeah I agree, especially when she doesn't exactly seem to have a job sorted, obviously she has youtube but that isn't necessarily the most stable thing is it?
back on topic lol, I just watched the dirivng vlog, just seemed so pointless, I get why she wouldn't film at the wedding, I wouldn;t want mine on a popular youtube channel either, but I think she should have maybe filmed what she wore or something? I would be intorgued to see as she doesn't really dress up much so it would be something new

how weird was the story about getting a vaccine and wishing she had dressed up more because she might have met someone there?!

I must have missed this, what was said if you don't mind?

Agree that it's odd how secretive she has become. Even just saying "my brother's wedding" surely would have been fine considering Jesse posted about the engagement on his own public Instagram. Something has definitely shifted with Grace because she used to share small snippets of what was going on around her all the time and now she omits massive details.

she said something about how she had learned she should make more of an effort when leaving the house as you never know who you will meet and that the jab centre was basically like online dating as it was all people of around her age (paraphrasing obviously) and that she had seen lots of "fine specemins"
 
I think both Jesse and Chloe met their spouses in church. Chloe would have known Tom for years for sure because he's the son of the head of their church which they've been in for years. Maybe they weren't a couple that long but they were probably friends.

I saw Jesse's wife Sara was tagged by her friend with a picture of the wedding and she mentioned Sara and her talking about boys when they were 14 after church.. she then goes on to talk about God in the post. So Sara is also religious and I'd assume he met her through church too.

I know some people have said Jesse is atheist now but I don't think that's true. It makes more sense he is still religious because they are quite young getting married and they planned a wedding in only 3 months.
 
My guess is once her siblings moved out with their partners they stopped wanting to really be mentioned at all for whatever reason. When they were living with Grace it was just then that got attention but with their spouses I guess they don't want them to also get attention or judgement.

If she had mentioned it was Jesse's wedding there would have been lots of comments about it being quick and they probably don't wanna see that.

One of those things though that the more you don't mention it, the more it gets talked about lol.

She posted her wedding outfit on tiktok and most of the comments assumed it was her sister's wedding (which was actually months ago)

So not talking about it has mostly worked except for those of us on here 🤣
