to hate the cliche "busy mum"?

[MaureenCognito]

where are all the women who describe themselves as "bone idle sods who happen to have some kids in a cupboard somewhere"?

Well most mums are pretty busy for at least some of the time! What's the problem?

But...mums are usually busy in some way? Most people are! YABU

Ha ha YANBU!

It sounds marginally better than "Bored Housewife"

Unless you're looking to attract a certain crowd....

I was only thinking that last week. something was 'ideal for busy Mums'. I wish I could remember what it was.

How about some Ovaltine?

Would be funny if something was described as 'ideal for lazy Mums'. Would anyone buy it?

An intravenous drip containing wine and chocolate?

Depends what is was Rosanna.

Hell yes!

Rosanna I could identify with that no problem

Ah yes, 'busy Mums on the go' is the full phrase, as we see in that patronising Ovaltine ad.

X post!

This maybe ?

I want one of those! That would really improve my life :)

An intravenous drip containing wine and chocolate?

Where do I order one?

I hate the word "Mum" to be honest. It reminds me of <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&rlz=1C1GGGE_en-gbGB494GB494&biw=1366&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=V6pPwFj4Oy16vM:&imgrefurl=www.atb-bargains.co.uk/mum-deodorant-unperfumed-roll-on-brand-mum-50g-3246-p.asp&docid=YlaU0dV123f5hM&imgurl=www.atb-bargains.co.uk/ekmps/shops/atbbargains/images/mum-deodorant-unperfumed-roll-on-brand-mum-50g.-3246-p.jpg&w=500&h=500&ei=lkyNUOfWNKLO0QWC5YDADQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=922&vpy=285&dur=359&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=111&ty=78&sig=104970589120948811459&page=1&tbnh=149&tbnw=156&start=0&ndsp=30&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:0,i:108" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this and <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1366&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=0h1n5ClzNnar_M:&imgrefurl=mummies.monstrous.com/egyptian_mummies.htm&docid=RBSYpMKuC3QUaM&imgurl=mummies.monstrous.com/Mummy_egyptian.jpg&w=250&h=432&ei=u0yNUJKHFqfA0QWnhoDgDA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1073&vpy=199&dur=25&hovh=295&hovw=171&tx=61&ty=114&sig=104970589120948811459&page=2&tbnh=159&tbnw=92&start=18&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:20,i:230" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this

And is just not a pretty word.

I hate 'busy mums' as well, such a cliche, often said by women with northern accents on Asda accents.

I am certainly not a busy mum today, I am sitting on the sofa, watching Goldfinger, eating chips and mumsnetting.

Fuck the laundry.

Risotto anyone?

Sirzy yes, it could have been the drip. I still can't think what it was....

I think the phrase 'busy mum' seems to mean 'martyr mum'

Love it Sparkling!

I'm a lazy mum, at least I try to be. 4 dc's have other ideas, can't believe how often they need feeding - it's bloody inconsiderate if you ask me!

I would like to hear the phrase 'busy Dad' a bit more often. Busy Dad on the go...
