Honestly, I feel like Rich could just bleeping learn to do it. It isn't that hard to put up some shelves (but remember they made his dad do it in their BR as well, the only time we've ever seen her mention his family of course- when they need something out of them) but at least in her stories you see that he's always doing stuff around the house, she's the lazy one who thinks doing everyday tasks makes her A HARD WORKING MUM (pff). And then she makes fun of him for 'not being able to sit still'.
Now I have a question to others with kids or who know people with kids - is it really that normal that the kids' toys and things take over your whole home and you need a kid sized table and chair and whatever else? Maybe because I grew up in an ex-Soviet country in the 90s, but nobody I knew, even when I was older and my brother was born 7 years later, my parents were relatively well off at that point but he still sat at our dining table or on the floor to play/colour and essentially there was a giant bin for his toys in his room and everything was put away at the end of the day.
I just don't know if it is normal that you dedicate your whole living space to one child like that? Why doesn't she just get a sideboard, put toys in baskets in there and whatever else doesn't fit, maybe you don't need it? I'd understand if you have 2 or more kids that are running around but she has a sitting baby... they could always rotate some toys and bits in and out as the child gets older?
But also I feel like their house is just not suitable for family living? They were privileged enough to be able to purchase in London, but I feel like they purchased the house for child-less living; i.e the big open space downstairs and not much bedroom space. So open kitchen, terrace and dining/living area for entertainment which is where you'd spend a lot of time as younger people with friends. When Grey gets bigger, there's no space in her BR for any sort of belongings really and when Grey and perhaps a second child are old enough to want to watch cartoons loudly, play video games etc, I can imagine Lily just complaining about the noise and not having any sort of room separation. Didn't she say when they got the place that 'there's no room in the house to shut all her family's noisy kids in'?
I remember playing in my room when I was old enough to be left unattended for a bit - my room wasn't huge but I could sit on the floor and get out my Legos and tit. Their 'forever family home' would mean any kids stuff just consumes her pinterest home and she will forever be complaining about it, how everything child related is gaudy and how there is a mess, etc etc.
Anyway, that's my highly caffeinated morning thoughts on Mrs. Pebbles and her first world problems, all that she's created for herself anyway.
