How do you define a yummy mummy?

[emilytankengine]

What would you guys describe a "yummy mummy" as? Cos the phrase just winds me up!

[WestCountryLass]

My definition of a yummy mummy is anyone who has made an effort with their appearance (most seem to use hair straighteners!), wearing trendy/stylish clothes that flatter them and generally look well groomed.

you bake traybakes

[UnquietDad]

Smug, 30s/40s mother who looks as if she has a lot of spare time to spend on "grooming" - nails, hair done, clothes expensive - looks like she goes to the gym a lot and is concerned about what people "think" of her. Shires-living and Conservative-voting. Did I mention smug? Doesn't work. Drives 4x4. Lives off hubby's hedge-fund. Children are called things like Inigo, Ivo and Tabitha, and do violin and ballet.

I work full time, live in the shires and my dds are called normal names.I drive a clapped out old BMW, my children ( I hear the hissing now) go to private schools and I dye my hair - it's v grey. I vote labour. My daughters do ballet and riding and the elder one does violin after a year of begging. What am I? I two-faced twat? Or am I fortunate enough to have choices which I've worked bloody hard for?

A yummy mummy is anyone who has managed to put on a clean top (minus puke stains)and brushed their hair and put on a bit of lippy before leaving the house!

[moljam]

Rachmumoftwo lol!

[Nightynight]

a SAHM who has got a cleaner/nanny/gardener/any of the above, and money to buy nice clothes, goes to the gym etc.

[EmsMum]

Anyone who looks like they have BOTH more time and money than me. And spend quite a bit of both on their appearance.

[PanfriedpumpkinattheMNcafe]

oh..some mummys are just yummy effortlessly.

[MeMySonAndI]

NO Sykes, you are not a twat... you are a yummy mummy!

[sykes]

I don't think so.

[kindersurprise]

This is the definition I use for my course, "English for Yummy Mummys":

"A mother who is interested in looking after herself as well as her family while taking pride in her appearance"

I use it more as a joke with friends, it would make me ROFL if anyone seriously described themselves as a yummy mummy.

Saying that, since I have a cleaner, go to the gym and sometimes use straightners, I am afraid I might be put on the Yummy Mummy At Risk Register.

[UnquietDad]

sykes - that just means you're not a YM then. Unless you want to be??

[vacua]

A MILF surely?

[UnquietDad]

No, there is overlap but I can think of plenty of MILFs of my acquaintance who aren't YMs. Think Venn Diagram.

[claricebeansmum]

MILF?

[vacua]

yes I should have said YILF instead of MILF as frankly have met very few I'd even consider

[ImBarryScott]

definitely a SAHM, but one who also has a nanny so that she can stick to her rigid routine of gym-hairdresser-manicurist. She quite possibly is a second wife, so considers it her full-time job to look good for hubby, lest the fate of First Wife befall her.

[vacua]

Is it obligatory for them to drive an M Class or Cayenne or could someone scrape through in a RAV4? NOT Self you understand, just mentally sorting the playground mums.

[claricebeansmum]

YILF??????

[vacua]

Sorry I meant MYLF

[paddyclamp]

I hate the phrase personally. It always makes me think of these celebrities who get their figures back about 2 weeks after having a baby. Agree with unquietdad they tend to be smug!

I straighten my hair and wear make up. But i always thought they had to wear designer clothes.
