Perhaps shes over compensating for how much she talked about her lack of bond with Darcy? (Not judging, I have never experienced this and it must be very hard) but she talked about how her bond with pearl is sooo much stronger etc. Maybe she feels guilty about that? IdkShe almost looks disappointed when she looks at Pearl? Like nothing she does is cute or impressive anymore so she just gets a dull look. You could tell when Pearl picked up the fairy lights Lazy Lou put on a huge fake smile for 0.0003 seconds to make it look like she was interacting with her nicely. She very rarely talks about Pearl being super cute like she does with Darcy and when Pearl was a tiny baby. It's horrible to see Darcy continues to so clearly be the favourite
It was built in 2011 according to the Zoopla listing. I hate that awful brown tiling too. Glad they fixed the bathroom, even if it cost silly money.So Zoopla have the first sale as 2016 and she bought it in 2017. I looked because she called it a #newbuild. It doesn't look like a new build to me!? It doesn't look modern, the brown tiled floor, the cream and black kitchen, the white lines in the windows. I would say about 20 years old? Surely that house isn't only 4 years old?
That's a point. It seems odd for her to display that so obviously though considering she's very bonded with Darcy now and doesn't show as much of a bond with Pearl?

I think she just doesn't like having a toddler very much because they are more 'difficult'. When Pearl is older you won't see a notable difference in how she treats each child.That's a point.

Pearl's only 'difficult' because she doesn't sit still in ad photos... Either way there's no reason why a parent should so often look at their child like she does. She's called P 'difficult to mother' but no toddler is that difficult to parent when they have a stable life with a good support system. Darcy wasn't treated like Pearl when she was a toddler, she was called cute all the time and was never called difficult to motherI think she just doesn't like having a toddler very much because they are more 'difficult'.

Also, since she only has Darcy half of the time she probably tries to give her double the love because she's missed not having her around.
I remember when Darcy was a toddler and there were plenty of comments on Guru about how Louise seemed to be irritated by her. I'm not saying it's ok to be like that with your child but I don't think it's because Darcy is her favourite. She is just easily irritated by a toddler. She has also admitted in the past that spending lots of time with babies/toddlers can be really boring for her. Darcy is a fully formed person now and can generally be left to her own devices. Louise also seems to enjoy talking to Darcy about stuff. Her toddler demands attention and has needs that need to be fulfilled all the time, which annoys Louise.Pearl's only 'difficult' because she doesn't sit still in ad photos...

Devon seems quite quiet and probably a much more stable person to be with than Louise. Matt and Louise never seemed to be a perfect match to me for some reason. We don't know much about Devon though so it's hard to tell, she could be as ridiculous as Lazy LouOkay so long time lurker. I unfollowed Louise a few years ago her content is boring and just doesn’t interest me at all. Anyway Matt new wife Devon is the complete opposite to what Louise ever was? How can a man go to 2 completely different people?? After snooping through their Instagram I can honestly say darcy looks so much older and she is gorgeous... the photos on matts Instagram truly shows who she is whereas on Louise it’s pink sparkly over loaded filters and whatever else. I also think Devon would be a good influence on darcy, she seems real and unbothered and not like other girls. I think regardless of who’s she is people will always tear the step mother down... always
I was quite wary of Devon when she first came on the scene. She started a YouTube channel.. and her and Matt had a couple's channel for a while.. which just was quite off to me. To try and capitalize off of someone's ex being famous.Okay so long time lurker. I unfollowed Louise a few years ago her content is boring and just doesn’t interest me at all.

I’ve always thought that the man has control issues and needs to be in charge in his relationship. The type that doesn’t like a woman with opinions or independence. He didn’t have that level of control or power with Louise over time and I 100% think that’s the true reason they broke up. He couldn’t handle Louise growing in confidence and getting to do the things she did when the Brit crew was everywhere.
I think his need for control and power over his partner is the main reason he was never in Louise’s videos too. It was the only aspect of her YouTube career that he could control and hold over her. I mean, as soon as they broke up he was trying to make a go of YouTube so it was never truly about privacy or his teaching job.
Now he has a wife who seems very bland and twee and very “yes Matthew, no Matthew, three bags full Matthew”. I expect that’s the way he really likes his women; easy to control, looking up to him as the big hunk of a man, reliant on being part of a relationship.
As for Devon being an influence on Darcy, nah. She doesn’t have enough about her. She will be a kind enough step mum to Darcy but any influence she has over her as she grows will come from parroting Matt. As for people tearing her down, they probably wouldn’t have had she been less weird at the start of the relationship. I mean, who posts pictures of their partners child on Instagram when they’ve met them once or twice? Weirdos. Who lets their mum post pictures of their partners child on Instagram that they’ve met once or twice? Super weirdos.
Massive post I know but the way people champion Matt and Devon fascinates me when way back even in gurugossiper days it was so clear how odd they both were and still are when it comes to their dynamics with Louise and Darcy.
