What would you think about this scenario?

20 year old woman starts seeing a guy 9 years older and six months later is pregnant, gives up the idea of studying and becomes a SAHM, now has three children the eldest is 6. They just recently got married and spent thousands on an Instagram worthy show at a stately home.

They spend hundreds on photoshoots and the youngest child who's just turned 1 has had so many designer outfits too many to wear. They post dozens of pictures, the eldest boy has long hair in a man bun and occasionally a ponytail and a fade style like Erling Haaland and he's got the model poses off perfectly.

There's been endless baby showers, gender reveals and kids birthdays all done with party planners.

Just before she started seeing this guy he's posting pictures on Instagram of him and his mates rolling joints and moaning about the woman who's just jacked him in.

Now the woman's posts are all about being a "wifey" and his about "my woman". He's a machine operator and their pictures are like the Beckhams.

I suppose I was going to post it in aibu to wonder where the money's coming from as I thought it dodgy but though they look happy I was thinking she's been groomed.

He could have just met his match though.

I'm probably rambling. I'm not jealous before anyone says that but a lot of us are curious watching this reality show over the road.

Honestly, just stop taking such an interest. And she’s 20 - an adult.

To be fair you don't know what mine's like do you? Everyone is fascinated by them. It's like At Home with the Furys.

Doesn't look like they are having a bad life at all. A bit over exposed to my taste but it seems like they are happy enough.

DustyLee123 · 20/09/2023 21:42

So she had a kid when she was 14 ?

Yes they really seem it. Everyone is Baby or Babes, they do look really loved up.

You're nosey as F so why don't you just go right up and knock on their door and ask them?

No, she met her husband at 20. That's 7 years ago.

She has 3 kids and is only 20? Was this with her current partner? Bit confused as that makes her having her first child at 14?

Janieforever · 20/09/2023 21:45

Groomed at 20 and 29? Seriously?

honestly just focus on your own stuff not the neighbours.

you choose to watch them and talk about them so they must have something better going on 😜

lapsedbookworm · 20/09/2023 21:48

🤷‍♀️I stupidly judged our neighbours who are bit like this when we moved in. They are lovely people. When another, elderly, neighbour was struggling in the pandemic they did so much , along with me and one other neighbour, to help her out. And when I had a bad accident they were brilliant

cruffinsmuffin · 20/09/2023 21:51

I mean 20 and 29 isn't the hugest age gap! Sounds like they've had a few children and are happy, making the most of their life in a way they enjoy? Money is probably coming from working? Or family?

Sounds like you've got a bit too much time on your hands to be interested enough to make a post if I'm honest, as interested I am in other peoples lives (I'm nosy to a fault) I don't post about it on social media 😂

Did you really stalk his Instagram from 7 years ago to see what he was posting, or have you remembered the Instagram post this many years later?! I'm more fascinated by you than them 😂

This family is very friendly and pleasant to everyone. They just live life on Instagram.

@cruffinsmuffin I've not stalked his Instagram but I know someone who follows him who mentioned it.

Im not sure what the fascination is. Living life through social media and using photo shoots is common these days.

Rossannah · 20/09/2023 22:51

He's got a grow and she's claiming as a single parent. Probs

Frickinghell · 20/09/2023 23:07

Step away from the net curtains op! Get a life (in the nicest possible way) 😂

Nailed it. ☝️

xyz111 · 20/09/2023 23:31

I'm sure I've read this post before.....

Why do you follow them on social media? Just ignore and live your life

Raychelle · 20/09/2023 23:32

Haha deffo the grow!!! 😂

111111111a · 21/09/2023 00:03

What's their Instagram? I'm curious. If they want to be famous they won't mind you sharing

WhichEllie · 21/09/2023 00:17

You should buy a horse. Riding is a much more entertaining hobby than whatever this is. Better exercise too.

MinnieMouse0 · 21/09/2023 00:21

Honestly it just sounds like they are living a normal life.
