I don’t understand why she wouldn’t take maternity leave, surely they have enough money in the bank for her to take a few months off.

I reckon it was more to do with contractual obligations for that time. Her diary was pretty full re books etc and Max was very much a oops moment. If that pregnancy was planned maybe she wouldn't have had so much going on.

True. I remember when they announced a book, they were like ‘we're not pregnant!’ Then a few months later they announced they were expecting
 
I'm having a battle with myself here as I cant work out why I don't mind the Fletchers and yet the other insta-family brigade get right up my nose.

You're right, they show their kids for adverts, they aren't the best at marking gifted on certain posts etc yet I still like them.

HELP ME PLEASE 😂 I don't mind people getting free stuff as long as they are transparent and I don't know if the reason why I feel differently about them is because they arent attainable given their careers/wealth, as opposed to other insta-fams who have jobs like me and you and then sell us a merry yarn about all the things we can buy because we are like you...

I think it is because they have other jobs that brings them a bit of fame rather than the other who started of relatable so when they start doing ads it feels like a con in a way.
 
They’ve both given up vlogging on their YouTube channels. They just seem to use Instagram nowadays. Tom is writing books, musicals etc. Gi is writing books now writing something new. She’s on CBeebies etc. ‘Designing’ for Next. They must be rolling in it so I don’t see why they need to accept so many freebies especially all the holiday ones. They don’t even vlog the free holidays or show us barely anything of the accommodation. so it’s hardy much of an advert for the holiday companies. I’m not sure why companies even use them for adverts?

I think it’s because they, well Tom, have actual talent and they had fame pre Instagram. They have jobs outside of the insta bubble. Like you don’t bat an eyelid to Hollywood actors getting freebies because you expect it. It’s when talentless idiots start getting showered in stuff when they can’t even be bothered to proof read their posts or engage in any way...that’s when the blood boils.

I can’t help but admire that she hasn’t gone for the massive white teeth veneers ( 😉 yep MOD-you) to as her teeth aren’t ‘perfect’ and she is so average that she’s completely lovely. I hate baby shite program on cbeebies and that could make me dislike her but they do seem real. I am annoyed about the freebie holidays that are undeclared. Just why?!

See that’s actually what annoys me so much. Their life is so unattainable yet she pretends to be a normal mum ‘just like you’ - love, you’re just not.

Her podcast is quite a gripe, she tries so hard to get all her guests to give a sob story and wang on about how hard it is/was - with so little diversity in guests or type of parent/family make up.
