Sophie and Dave #12 scrounging 9-5 what a way to make a living

[Reader130987]

Also when she’s trying to tell the sob story, I really wish she’d stop doing the pretend burp thing like she constantly did when she was pregnant. The owl eyes are bad enough

Yes, WHAT is with all that almost-burping nonsense? It drives me loopy! She does it constantly, especially when she's chatting to the camera alone.

Right? Why wouldn't you edit it out? Gross.

I can not believe Sophie can say they are now both working and she is doing a lot!
How insulting.
House is usually a mess, so it’s not that she’s doing.
Misses Vlogs or are late, so it’s not that she’s doing.
Gets her Mum to look after Barney whilst doing pins (which one of them could do)
These two are embarrassing and at this point just insulting.

Calling herself a working mum is an utter disgrace. Does she know that there are some women who have to work FT as well as care for their babies?! Maybe some of these women even vlog. That must blow her mind.

This is one of the things that bothers me most about these two. They insinuate to their impressionable viewers that their life choices are acceptable. How many of their naive followers are under the illusion that 'vlogger' is a viable career choice!?

Of all the people who aspire to be vloggers or actors, only a miniscule amount will 'make it'. How long will Sophie and Dave carry on the charade that they are either?! That Dave is in his 30s, has no career, nor any aspirations to have one is terrifying for their future.

I would love to ask her what her definition of “working” and “doing a lot” means. If she has been working, I don’t think she’s been doing a good job of it. If you are going to make social media your career at least take the time to respond to fans comments and take feedback from criticism rather than deleting constructive comments to make everything look perfect

Browsing ASOS is a full time job I bet

they’re so lazy with their videos. Was hoping for some fast forwarded clips of them doing their pins and signing, would give those who bought them some insight seeing them being done and make the vlog .01 more interesting. There’s just no effort. Others put so much effort into their vids, sometimes taking a week to edit and find the perfect song etc and these two slobs are just pumping them out with not a care in the world and getting more income from it than those who actually put effort in ugh.

Not sure what fantasy land this woman lives in, but I bet all farts smell of roses and the moon is made of marshmallow! Why did they need help with Barney? He was fast asleep with his carefully placed toy. By the time they had packed Chip and Pins and baby in the back and crammed Godzilla into the passenger seat they could have signed and packed all the godforsaken pins. Nice to see they also would have been sent with a liberal sprinkling of dog hair from her cardigan sleeve!
Grubby individuals in more ways than one... working mum, don’t know how she dares say the words. They need a reality check and fast.

They’ve convinced themselves that daily vlogging is the way forward, but honestly they do so little they’d be better filming a weekly or biweekly vlog over a few days and releasing that. Then they might actually put the effort in to make it the videos decent as they’d have more time to edit. Feels a bit like they scramble around last minute every day trying to cobble something together from the tiny scraps of content they’ve managed to film. There’s just no thought and no planning.

Also wondering why Dave took Chip for a walk as soon as they got to her mum’s even though it was pouring with rain. Nice, wet dog in her mum’s house or did they put him back in the car?

There’s just no thought and no planning.

That's their lives summed up in one sentence. Which was fine pre Chip and Barney. But they have a kid and a dog now and they're still living like a couple of teenagers. No long term plans, no thought to how they can afford Barney, who will only get more expensive the older he gets. They're living from hand to mouth believing that releasing a pin every so often will pay the council tax. But the sales are dwindling, looks like they only sold a quarter of what they did last time.

When the vlog came up, I thought' I am sure they have used a title very similar'....

 

[Hurrah54]

I can't see it in their comments!

She always has to make out that she's working... okay, I'm sure taking a photo of a razor and asking if you shave is a job but... she put herself in this position?!
If she had gone through with teaching etc then she would have maternity leave.

It's such an insult to people who do go back to work a short time after having a baby as much as she loves to call it work... it is NOT the same as physically leaving the house to go to work.
edit to add.. or working from home and have real work pressures.

Deluded!! Wish they knew!

I can’t see it in their comments either though

 

[Yaaaaaaaaasssssss]

Can’t believe she said she wants to bring out another pin before Christmas ! just like it’s been said on here

 

[Barbie2020]

Of course they want to bring another pin out before Christmas where else are they gonna find the money to buy their waitrose/M&S Christmas food? I’m sure Soph will need loads of new winter clothes as well. Barney will be lucky to get a new toy. #getajob

Shameless. Think I've said this before, but at this stage, they may as well tip their fans upside down and shake out their pockets for loose change.

 

[Emmapism]

They will flood the market with the pins and little by little nobody will want to buy them anymore, not even the die hards. Of course they might try attaching a charity next time as that's proven to increase sales, and then delay delay delay sending the money to them. Has worked before so don't see why it wouldn't again.

Honestly I don't know how they sleep at night.

 

[emmer_moans]

What annoys me is now they are both home 'full time' they literally have 16 working hours a day between then assuming a typical 9-5 structure to get vlogging done, editing, coming up with ideas for videos, recording, designing pins etc, yet they act like they have no time for anything. It's not like they are me, working from my desk at home 9-5 plugged into video meetings, answering emails and doing tasks. They literally have complete autonomy over how they structure their day work wise. Yes they need to pause to feed Barney and play with him, and walk chip but seriously, if they agreed walk times and laptop time they'd get things done. I think they seem to have to do things together, like Sophie watching Dave clean a window. She should be doing some work to maximize their productive time between them. Absolutely no excuses when they are both at home.

Jumping on the Dave & Weight loss questions , one of the many vloggers i follow is doing a 100 day challenge to lose 50 pounds with the main goal being able to ride the soon to open new coaster at Universal Studios , all this being documented on his channel.

He's called Adrian from Theme Park Express , maybe Dave should take a long look at this guys honesty and drive to become healthier with the dangling carrot being the Velocicoaster.

Trying to become the worlds strongest man isn't working Dave.
