Definitely Liz, would probably be more Julia if I worked though.

Marybennet · 12/10/2019 22:39

Kevin 🥺

NomDeQwerty · 12/10/2019 22:39

I have been Julia and Anne in the past. I'm getting more Liz as I get older. I hope.Smile

FastAway · 12/10/2019 22:39

Unfortunately I think I’m a bit Amanda.... and I even have an Ann....

NomDeQwerty · 12/10/2019 22:41

You can't be too much of an Amanda though Fast if you have enough self awareness to think you might be iyswim
Phew

MrsWooster · 12/10/2019 22:43

I identify as Liz (am actually Julia)

Julia. My husband chuckles throughout as apparently so relatable 🤪

FastAway · 12/10/2019 22:43

I also am not even one tenth as gorgeous as Lucy Punch.

Ikeameatballs · 12/10/2019 22:46

Julia!

Itsfineactually · 12/10/2019 22:46

Oh dear @FastAway, although @NomDeQwerty is right!!

My aim this week is to be more Liz

I would have said Julia until the first episode of second series, I was quite disappointed she didn't take the promotion. I know you shouldn't look too much into a sitcom but I felt they were limiting her and sending a bit of a shit message tbh...I know, I know sitcom etc, but I saw Motherhood as a breath of fresh air until this episode.

I’m a working Liz, her attitude but with a full time job.

ImNotYourGranny · 12/10/2019 22:51

I think I'm closest to Liz. Although in one episode someone said to her that she was just on the right side of not giving a fuck. I suspect I may be on the wrong side. I put it down to age. I reckon I was more like Anne in my younger days.

Longdistance · 12/10/2019 22:51

I’m Julia, dh realised he’s Paul where a scene went to him drunk on a boat with his friends (possible stag do) leaving Julia to do everything.

Itsfineactually · 12/10/2019 22:53

Ah, @foodname maybe they’ve replaced that character type with the new neighbour lady? The one who got drunk in the 1st episode?

I love that Liz put a keyring tracker on her child 🤣

I’m glad they didn’t have her take the job. There’s a sense of two fingers to the pressures on all of us when she walked out (not so much the chucking up into her cardboard box, but we’ve all been there...)

Itsfineactually · 12/10/2019 22:55

Ah, @Longdistance I’d hate for my dh to be like Paul. He really pisses me off!! But then so does Kevin....
My dh is a happy medium

CremeEggThief · 12/10/2019 22:58

Liz. 🤞

foodname · 12/10/2019 23:01

@MrsWooster it's such a cliche though, it's never the dad not taking the promotion is it? The two fingers has to be at the career, not at the domestic expectations on women?

But yeah maybe I'm now the drunk one 😂

Samcro · 12/10/2019 23:15

sadly I think I was Kevin....but I wanted to be the cool one

Runningsmooth · 12/10/2019 23:21

Anne, oh dear

Itsfineactually · 12/10/2019 23:28

Yes, oh dear indeed @running... why do you think that?
