Now read Daisy Waugh's pieces in ST magazine last week and Daily Mail and Guardian this week.
Each one to promote her new book.
She has pissed me off so much with her assertion that all new "mummies" (her word, not mine, she seems incapable of using "mothers") change beyond recognition from their pre-baby selves and become obsessed with reading levels and nappy quality. She even DARES in her Guardian piece to end with "what happened to mummy feminism?" I'd have thought a massive first step in promoting feminism would be to NOT write a book slagging off your fellow mothers in such sweeping, generalised "media construct" terms.
The ST piece was a particularly patronising and derivative piece along the lines of "I'm such a laid back guilt free parent, and here's how you can be too". Why does she assume the need for such advice.
Rant over.
Disclaimer: I haven't read her book and I won't be doing so.
