Lily was perfectly happy with her house until Anna went and got a (presumably bigger, better) house. Now Lily wants to go one better - because Lily always has to come out on top. She's that spiteful, jealous friend who always has to have better than you! Lily mentioned in the podcast that this will be Anna's 'forever' home, so I'm presuming it's quite an impressive place.

I also don't understand why Lily wants another kid. She clearly hasn't taken to motherhood; it has impacted her negatively in a whole bunch of different ways, and yet she is adamant that she will be having more children. She even says in the podcast that it'll maybe happen next year. I guess more kids is in her plan - and she does not deviate from the plan

At some point we all just have to realise that life is not a competition and to sit back and actually enjoy what you have because life is short. Lily however will spend all her years being bitter and jealous.

My theory with Lily not wanting Grey to have to change schools (which of course is not ideal, but less of a problem when they’re young) is that Lily seems to have made her base group of friends around the age of 3-5 years old. Perhaps she thinks it’s not possible for children to make new friends at a later age.

I changed schools twice in my youth, because of my parents’ jobs. I must admit my longest friendships are from secondary schools from around the age of 13. And then I added lots from university and various jobs. I do not feel like changing schools has caused me any permanent traumas. But many may have different experiences with that.

Lily hasn't worked real jobs so how is she to know you can make friends that way?
 
Lily is insecure about her looks and intelligence so she humble brags about her privilege, the one thing she is secure about. She’s also one of those people who didn’t do well in math, science, english, etc so she told herself that she wasn’t stupid, she’s a creative type!! An insult to actually creative people and artists.

I had a colleague like this, lovely girl but quite insecure about her intelligence/knowledge, also with private education... The problem was, she was a marketing manager for a tourism organisation, but she knew nothing about the place she was supposed to promote... Her lacking in knowledge wasn't science-related though, you can easily just learn by heart some information and facts about the location you're trying to promote but she never did anything to better herself, never read a book about the place, went on an official tour, made friends with the tour guides and learn from them. She would always just ask, for a millionth time, those in the company who had more knowledge :rolleyes:

It sounds like she hates the realities of having a child so why would she want to make it harder on herself by having a second? As my mother would say, she should at least make sure the first kid is out of diapers before having the second. I cant even imagine the moaning if she had two kids in diapers.

Also Grey would have room to play in the office if she gave that to her as a bedroom. Children don't need separate designated playroom. Plenty grow up without them and are fine. What they need are parents that don't force aesthetics onto them that dampen everything

I'm not sure this is the case here but there are many reasons why a child is not out of nappies before a 2nd child arrives. You simply cant wait for a child to be out of nappies before you try again. It would make things easier in some way but children can still regress anyway

My nephew regressed a couple of times, after being ill with a stomach bug... Bless him. He was still struggling a bit when he went to nursery at 3 years old. Otherwise, he's a very bright boy, with no other development issues, but every kid learns things in their own time and some things come easier than others.

Her French is so great she can belittle Rich for his pronunciation of “croissant” while pronouncing it incorrectly herself! She even pronounced L’Occitane “Lockitan” in an old vlog, I guess the people from her favourite company Larry Doot never told her …

Larry Doot I am DEAD 🤣

Hi guys quick question, is sending your child to nursery ar 2yo in the UK early or late? I am from Belgium and we send our kids at 3 months so 😅. I just gave birth myself and decided to take a longer (unpaid) leave but I am definitely the exception.

Most mums I know have gone back to work after about a year, so that’s when they have to find childcare of some sort. In the UK, we get a year’s paid maternity leave, so after that money can become an issue if you don’t go back to work.
 
In the latest podcast episode, they talk about good and bad purchases. Anna mentions a designer handbag that was really impractical so she sold it and donated the money to charity. She has apparently done that with many bags. Then Lily mentions a small YSL bag that she cannot really use because it doesn't even fit her phone in it but apparently she still has it because she's "really bad at selling stuff". Then Anna said that she should just get it over and done with and sell it on Depop and donate the money. Lily agreed, albeit seemingly reluctantly 😅
