To hate Emma's Diary

[Garliccheesechips]

It's SO BLOODY INSIPID

Boak.

I can't believe they are still inflicting Emma's diary on pregnant women today. I HATED Emma twelve year's ago when I was pregnant with my first. She was so pathetic.

I remember it 19 years ago!

Everyone told me I HAD to join.

I did.

It's shit

Sam here Nickoka. DS1 is 12-can't believe Emma is still having babies.

I'm pretty sure you're not forced to read it. Agree it's shite, but just chuck it out.

Yep, hated it too. Totally pointless.

Good grief, is that still about? It made me howl with laughter!

Emma's diary actually depressed me. I was so scared I would turn into a crazy woman calling my unborn baby 'flump'. It's just so mumsy I hated it.

Is it written with thick as shit people in mind?

The bits where she bangs Nick are the worst though.

ooooh it started off as a massage but then Nick's hands wandered

Do you think Emma is a Mnetter?

She calls her bump 'Flump'. Twat.

I hate the way pregnant women are encouraged to infantilise their unborn babies- we're adults having babies not little girls harvesting dolls.

What's wrong with 'the baby'. Or 'it'?

Shit now I remember why I hated that diary so much.

Well, I'll go against the flow - I found it really helpful when pregnant with my first.

No! Really? How vile

I hooted with laughter reading it - she uses words like "hubby" and at one point "chomps" something. Nobody in the history of the English language has actually used "chomp" as a verb with a straight face. She's like the worst Boots advert character ever, all "me time" and "lunch with the girlies".

YANBU. Emma is a complete tool.

I hated it in my first pregnancy 14 years ago, hated it in my 2nd pregnancy 8 years ago, my 3rd 3 years ago and still bloody hate it now!

A load of patronising, waffling, guff

I bet Nick is a right wet fish.

It reads like a really bad pregnancy chick lit novel complete with all the really pathetic pregnancy cliches- it made me so cross at the time. Must have been the hormones.

Now I read it and laugh.

I found it helpful with my 1st, 15 yrs ago at the age of 17.

Agree, with BackForGood. I had no internet or many points of reference, not even any family support, just my Dad & EXP.

I looked forward to getting my 'Emma's Diary' 3 yrs ago when I had DD & was shocked at how crappy it was. Just awful.

Nick is the kind of man who asks in a concerned voice if he's hurting you while he's shagging you.

Absolute crock of shite all of it.

I still went and got the free packs from Argos though.

I never got it!

Agree with BackForGood and CumpyGrunt, 14 years ago when I was a petrified pg 17 year old, I thought it was really good.

Have not read it since though!

I could do with an Emma's Diary now of how she dealing with 10 and 12 year olds. She will probably have some good advice.
