Lily Pebbles #47 A slime trail of lame 🐌

Miserable bitch!

Does anyone else think it’s strange to take down your tree before January 6th? Or is that normal in the UK? I know people in the UK don’t really celebrate Three Kings’ Day, but does Christmas really end that quickly there?

It’s all down to personal preference, the rule is just that the decorations have to be down by 6th at the latest. A lot of people just want them gone once Boxing Day is over.

I don't take mine down until the new year. I am a big kid though and love Christmas. I’ve also always had kids around. I find it odd she wants to take them down with small children in the house.

I think almost no one keeps their tree up until after the 6th but the majority have it up for NYE imo.

Now I don't have kids so, in Lily's eyes my life is nothing-y, but I find it so strange how proud she acts when she successfully tricks her kids. She says she can't do it next year because SHE'LL be aware of what year it is and what time it is, but does it not sound like SHE already does? Why go through all the rigmarole to fake NYE 6 hours early if your kid doesn't understand what day it is?!

What a moron. I put my kids to bed at their normal time. They don't ask or expect to stay up and are fully aware that when they wake up tomorrow, it's a new year. She's creating her own problems. It must be a big deal to her, not her kids. Kids get tired easily and crave routine.

Don’t get the fake NYE at all! Totally confused by it.

We have a little girl staying with us. She’s around 6 months younger than Grey. She’s fast asleep. Lily does the weirdest things.

I just don't understand why the need to "fake" it. We had a NYE party this afternoon with a few friends, our daughter is 4, she knew perfectly well that it wasn't suddenly 2024 at 4pm but was delighted to watch last year's fireworks on the TV and sing and dance with her friends, you can make it fun for them, put them to bed at a normal time AND not lie... How genius!

She always makes things so much more complicated and weird than necessary.

I think not lying is important. I feel like that kind of unnecessary 'white lying' when you can get away with it is a bad faith way to approach parenting and likely to build a foundation of distrust in a relationship... Kids work these things out, or can feel them even if they don't strictly understand.

That’s the bit that’s odd to me. I can’t get my head round the need to lie. I’m bamboozled!

Lily seems to constantly do this. Like last year, when she insisted on giving old toys from HER to her won, without her noticing for some reason, while still worrying that SHE would recognize some of it. She never ever thinks of the most logical solution to any self-created problem.

Once her followers realise they get the same treatment her own kids do, they'd hopefully stray away from that useless ghoul.

We do it is said to be unlucky to take it down sooner. But people put trees up much earlier these days so can't wait to take them down.

 

[icannoteven]

Somewhere between packing ton of Xmas leftovers & faking NYE, she got her nails done so whats with the moan about her overgrown bday nails… oh right cos it’s too stoopid Poobs


Also there seems to be a trend that these influencers post faking NYE for their kids posts, so she is just jumping on the bandwagon as usual, for the “content” and then act so clever. Not a single original idea.

 

[Melsun]

Spot on. Lily also does it in a desperate attempt to sound relatable, the wink wink nudge nudge, don't we all feel like that as parents, blah blah... but she means it. Anna seems to enjoy motherhood a lot more, and so needs to up the 'us mums have it so hard' posts every now and then.

They really live in their own bubbles of idiocy.
Both have no common sense or tact about these topics. Their audience might be around the same age...some maybe are ttc and when they are complaining about their kids/being mum with all the privileges they seem to have( spouse, family nearby, flexible jobs, zero commute, money etc ) one just want to scream at them : but YOU choose to have kids, what is wrong with you? Just count your blessings.
I am trying not to project too much but being a bit older than lily, single, and failed my 2nd stim for eggs freezing when I read these things I just want to scream . shut the F. up Lily!

If only you had the amazing life changing gifted Manicurist set to do it yourself eh?

But somehow managed to get them done professionally a couple of days later and make a TikTok out of it?

 

[Eileen_2019]

Why share this 'core memory' () with thousands of strangers?

 

[lolawasaflowergirl]

Her back seems good as new in that NYE vid

My NY resolution is to forget this moron even exists.

grey isn’t really going to understand that most people stay up to new year to celebrate unless lily is the one telling her these things.

BUT She 100% could do it next year.. just a bit later, all she’d have to do is hide the clock. Grey can’t know the time magically… do a fake new year at 8/9pm and tell her it’s midnight. That way Grey gets to stay up a bit but not all the way to midnight… grey is not going to know the difference between 8pm & midnight at 5 years old. Does she think that a 5 year old is suddenly so aware of everything?
