Hello! I'd so love to spread this post far and wide. Dare I say I'm proud of it and I think it could really spread some mummy kindness around. I'd love your thoughts on it!

the mere expression mummy kindness is ghastly,schmaltzy.don't like it
the blog,not my cuppa tea but I don't define myself as mummy.it's not my whole being
as a manifesto,the prose is syrupy.maybe your intentions are kind but the list is awful

scottishmummy · 03/02/2013 12:56

i dispute point 13) I will always remember that I am the best mum for MY children, that I know them better than anyone else. I will discount any thoughts or comments that suggest otherwise

sadly not the case,some mums for a myriad of social/medical/psychological reasons are not best for their child.and fact they discount any thoughts or comments that suggest otherwise,well simply makes bad situation worse. Fortunately this is rare and most mums are good enough

You don't define yourself as a mummy and yet, look at your user name, scottishmummy. Sometimes your contradiction in one post is just amazing.

Interesting blog post.

I think its lovely. Nothing wrong with a bit of smaltz and yes, wouldn't it be nice if it really was this simple.

katese11 · 03/02/2013 15:59

Good point tee ;). Scottishmummy, do you blog? Cause on this board, I think we try and be a bit constructive in criticism...I know flaming is pretty standard on the rest of MN!

I'm not defined by my mn name,it's pseudonym.I have to say if you think mn names are defining you'll be most aghast when you concretely interpret the swearie or lewd names as being a statement of character

if asked what I do, I say my job. I've never said I'm a Scottish mummy

scottishmummy · 03/02/2013 18:54

do I blog? no
did I respond to love your thoughts?yes
I'm not asking op to moderate,change blog.she can blog whatever.and Internet is so big,the audience so diverse that others will love her blog and praise accordingly

I haven't flamed,at all
and imo, people blog for response,and impact.which the originator cannot wholly predict or control

Really liked it. And reminded me of things I wished people had done /not done when I was a new mother especially over advice/not judging. Will try to keep remembering this month as lots of my friends are having their first babies!

Tee2072 · 03/02/2013 19:01

SM I refuse to believe you are as dense as you come across whenever you post. I think you're as sly as fox and deliberately offensive and rude.

But hey, just words on the screen, right?

scottishmummy · 03/02/2013 19:05

so mn names about sex,fuck or cunt do you think that's defining that person
the made up for effect names are funny and for laughs.anonymity online
You're determined to read great significance in mn name as if ta-dah proves something

Tee2072 · 03/02/2013 19:17

I am not talking about your name, I couldn't care less what you call yourself. I'm talking about your inability to ever be nice or supportive in these boards. Any of these boards.

It's a good thing I don't work for MNHQ.

scottishmummy · 03/02/2013 19:21

You know what? You're not even worth my time or my anger.

scottishmummy · 03/02/2013 19:32

clearly you're v angry, the veiled threat was v don corleone
enough of this it's all about the blog after all

MmeLindor · 03/02/2013 19:39

I am not a fond of 'mummyblogs' and have made no secret of this fact, and to be very honest the blog post is not really my cup of tea. I am sure that many will enjoy it, as it is quite sweet.

Scottishmummy
While we all welcome feedback on our blogs, there was really no need to be quite that 'honest'.

MmeLindor · 03/02/2013 19:40

and I am laughing a LOT at Don Corleone Tee.
