Are children dying in England? In America we have cases of newborns even getting infected and have been in a surge of Covid infections where lots of children are getting sick and dying. I’d be grateful if my hospital was still taking the virus that seriously.

I think as far as lily is concerned corona doesn’t affect middle class white mums here in the UK and her life should not be inconvenienced by it at all. She should do what she wants despite it..

I find it hilarious that she wants Rich to be there to basically wait on her hand and foot. Nothing about bonding with the baby or a hand to hold during labor or a loved one’s face after a stressful time (although she did mention mental support…whatever that’s supposed to mean).

Rich is just as much of an accessory as her own kids.

completely agree! I’m currently pregnant with my first baby & for our first scan my husband wasn’t allowed in. At no point did I think about how that effected me or made it hard for me, I was just thinking how sad it was for my husband that he doesn’t get to see our baby! Lily just wants Rich there so he can support her but god forbid she does it back

Exactly. She is not sad for Rich not being allowed to be there every step of the way, but only how it affects her. So typical Lily.

Another thing that comes to mind is when Lily tweeted saying she hated when people said ‘got my hair did’ and some other phrases I can’t remember. She was quickly informed that all the phrases she mentioned were cases of AAVE (African American vernacular English). Instead of just apologising for her ignorance, she just did the usual ‘omg guys you’ve misunderstood me, it’s not that deep’ bullshit.

She tweeted that she hated when people said "issa" like issa vibe and said why can't people just say "it's a"

This is another reason I unsubscribed from Lily and Anna - their vacuous, tokenistic efforts to engage with inclusivity and racial equality issues. Performative, air-headed crap.

Totally agree. She posted about racial equality issues after George Floyd when everyone was doing it, but nothing since. No comment when the black footballers suffered racist abuse after the Euros. No further comments on inclusive brands or books by black authors. She's a fraud.
 
Lily's issues with "issa" just show how ignorant and dumb she is. Anyone understanding how languages work knows they're always evolving and always illustrating the time and society (and its different classes), and yeah, you don't have to like some modern expressions, but, jesus bleeping christ, if you frequently use "LOL" and can't string together a simple typos-free sentence in your mother tongue, you should probably shut up.

She reminds me of those radio broadcasters who used to ask the Beatles why they talked so weird etc. Even though most people didn't speak bbc English 🤡

Am I the only one who thinks this is absolutely ridiculous? Every woman I know who gave birth to more than 1 child didn’t have her partner staying over for recovery bc the partner was staying with the other child(ren) at home. My husband stayed with me in the hospital when we had our first baby (in my country it’s standard to stay in the hospital 3 nights after birth and partners can also stay optionally) but if I would give birth again I would stay in the hospital with the new baby and he would be at home with our daughter. Does she really expect someone to watch Grey for multiple days while Rich helps her go to the toilet in the hospital? What?? Aren’t the nurses there for that? Why does she need Rich to help her with EVERYTHING?! She makes my blood boil…

What do you guys think would happen if Rich dumps her? Like seriously, what would she do? I’m actually baffled all of the sisters managed to find husbands and start a family, I really wonder what will happen if one of the marriages doesn’t work out…

You all are too nice. Lily didn't like the name Fenty and was all snobby about the brand, because she thought it was a makeup brand for black people. She didn't want to use this brand, even if it was from a celebrity. She only made tiny bit of effort to declare herself as not a racist after BLM happened and it was trendy to be an ally. Trendy and actually dangerous not to be one at that time, many influencers had to pretend to support it or get backlash. Lily obviously doesn't give a tit about racial inequalities, the thought of using a racially inclusive makeup brand with a black name repulsed her.

My mum was alone when she had my little sister. My dad was working in London whilst waiting for a transfer at work and we were living with his parents. My nan and grandpa were looking after me.

I agree. She knew what was going on when she got pregnant! It’s not like she was already pregnant when the pandemic hit. We’d been it in for a year when she did, she knew there was going to be restrictions just like there has been for the last 18 months.

It never crossed Lily’s mind to think about how the pandemic and restrictions affect pregnant women until she herself had to experience it so of course she hadn’t considered it before deciding to try to get pregnant. Problems simply never exist in Lily’s world unless she is personally affected.
