Help! I'm becoming a basic bitch mum

20 replies

BabyLlamaZen · 18/05/2020 09:24

Since becoming a mum, this is only getting worse. Already I'm:

  1. Living in yoga pants. I can't really fit anything else, but still. I now have many yoga pants. Yet not yoga.
  1. Instagram. It's becoming a thing. And my baby is in so many of them. How many hashtags can you get?
  1. I cannot wait for Autumn so I can get a pumpkin spice latte. I love those things (diary free milk of course). Oh and MAKE COOKIES!.I've never been fussed enough to make cookies.
  1. I've started enjoying hallmark movies on netflix. Especially around Christmas. This is the scariest.

What's next? I actually forgot I used to have a job.

Anyone else starting to live the basic life?

You are living my dream life. No joke.

It’s all office attire, no instagram, no baby, no baking and no time for movies here.

You live your instagram basic bitch life while you still can my love. Do it for all the losers like me.

I used to be a teacher! Maybe this is why I'm doing it all now. Grin

I love your basic bitch life

Im wondering now whether I too can have the basic bitch lifestyle

Next you will be able to distinguish between Reel One and Marvista.

BabyLlamaZen · 18/05/2020 09:39

@cherryblossomgin I have no idea what that is!

It's the two studios that make Lifetime or made for TV movies. When I was at home alot I used to look forward to the channel 5 movie at 3pm and it was always one of them. Marvista is my favourite lol. They are like hallmark movies.

Oh wow. Well give me time! Just need to do a breakfast selfie of me and the baby eating avocado on toast. (Ok so the selfie is a joke. The avocado? Delicious!)

This is me. I love it. Nothing wrong with it! The kids will grow and we will have to go back to normality... So enjoy it!

BuffaloCauliflower · 18/05/2020 09:44

You can make cookies now!

I'm with you OP.
Basic bitch solidarity.

You should go further and have a ratchet salon ... DIY hair cuts , eyebrows, nails .

mynameiscalypso · 18/05/2020 10:43

I've just done my morning Pilates class (and put a picture on Instagram). Thinking that DS and I might have avocado toast for brunch now. Basic bitch maternity leave solidarity here too!

Remember to declutter your pantry and relabel all your jars!

PorpentiaScamander · 18/05/2020 10:51

I dont even own yoga pants. I live in pjs. (And my babies are 15 and 13) Grin

shellby28 · 18/05/2020 10:53

I'm joining you in basic bitch maternity leave! Wouldnt have it any other way Grin trousers are obsolete now

BabyLlamaZen · 18/05/2020 10:54

@porpentia I'm struggling for clothes. No way I can find good fitting jeans right now. 😂

Just bought another pair of yoga pants. Hair in a mum-bun!

I told myself I would not be one of those Instagram mums.
But it's not my fault everyone simply MUST see these adorable photos of my DD doing something slightly different than the previous photo Wink

PorpentiaScamander · 18/05/2020 11:01

'Proper' trousers are so uncomfortable anyway. And pjs come in better patterns and are cheaper (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)
