to hate the cliche "busy mum"?

[MaureenCognito]

where are all the women who describe themselves as "bone idle sods who happen to have some kids in a cupboard somewhere"?

[Sirzy]

Well most mums are pretty busy for at least some of the time! What's the problem?

[Alisvolatpropiis]

But...mums are usually busy in some way? Most people are! YABU

[RosannaBanana]

Ha ha YANBU!

[WorraLiberty]

It sounds marginally better than "Bored Housewife"

Unless you're looking to attract a certain crowd....

[Sparklingbroomstick]

I was only thinking that last week. something was 'ideal for busy Mums'. I wish I could remember what it was.

[Sparklingbroomstick]

How about some Ovaltine?

[RosannaBanana]

Would be funny if something was described as 'ideal for lazy Mums'. Would anyone buy it?

An intravenous drip containing wine and chocolate?

[Sparklingbroomstick]

Depends what is was Rosanna.

Hell yes!

[WorraLiberty]

Rosanna I could identify with that no problem

[RosannaBanana]

Ah yes, 'busy Mums on the go' is the full phrase, as we see in that patronising Ovaltine ad.

[RosannaBanana]

X post!

[Sparklingbroomstick]

This maybe ?

[RosannaBanana]

I want one of those! That would really improve my life :)

[Sirzy]

An intravenous drip containing wine and chocolate?

Where do I order one?

I hate the word "Mum" to be honest. It reminds me of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1C1GGGE_en-gbGB494GB494&biw=1366&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=V6pPwFj4Oy16vM:&imgrefurl=www.atb-bargains.co.uk/mum-deodorant-unperfumed-roll-on-brand-mum-50g-3246-p.asp&docid=YlaU0dV123f5hM&imgurl=www.atb-bargains.co.uk/ekmps/shops/atbbargains/images/mum-deodorant-unperfumed-roll-on-brand-mum-50g.-3246-p.jpg&w=500&h=500&ei=lkyNUOfWNKLO0QWC5YDADQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=922&vpy=285&dur=359&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=111&ty=78&sig=104970589120948811459&page=1&tbnh=149&tbnw=156&start=0&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:0,i:108" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">this and <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1366&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=0h1n5ClzNnar_M:&imgrefurl=mummies.monstrous.com/egyptian_mummies.htm&docid=RBSYpMKuC3QUaM&imgurl=mummies.monstrous.com/Mummy_egyptian.jpg&w=250&h=432&ei=u0yNUJKHFqfA0QWnhoDgDA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1073&vpy=199&dur=25&hovh=295&hovw=171&tx=61&ty=114&sig=104970589120948811459&page=2&tbnh=159&tbnw=92&start=18&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:20,i:230" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">this

And is just not a pretty word.

[GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt]

I hate 'busy mums' as well, such a cliche, often said by women with northern accents on Asda accents.

I am certainly not a busy mum today, I am sitting on the sofa, watching Goldfinger, eating chips and mumsnetting.

Fuck the laundry.

[Sparklingbroomstick]

Risotto anyone?

[Sparklingbroomstick]

Sirzy yes, it could have been the drip. I still can't think what it was....

[GetOrfAKAMrsUsainBolt]

I think the phrase 'busy mum' seems to mean 'martyr mum'

[RosannaBanana]

Love it Sparkling!

[Aspiemum2]

I'm a lazy mum, at least I try to be. 4 dc's have other ideas, can't believe how often they need feeding - it's bloody inconsiderate if you ask me!

[RosannaBanana]

I would like to hear the phrase 'busy Dad' a bit more often. Busy Dad on the go...
