Katie Hopkins on Mum to avoids

[CrocsAreJustPlainUgly]

Is this really what we do?

*A stay-at-home mum, this one's been planning the school holidays with precision.

Having researched all free events within 20 miles, Mumsnet Mum has created a schedule of science museums, finger-painting and butterfly hatching.

She can then brag about it all online later and make other mums feel bad.

She goes nowhere without a packed lunch of fruit kebabs and vegetable animals in matching Cath Kidston picnic boxes.*

AIBU to found this funny? Sometimes she has a pinch of sense in her rants.. I can safely say I don't own anything Cath Kidston and what the hell is a vegetable animal or fruit kebab

Well, I did say not everyone

Seriously, I cba with fruit kebabs. In fact, I don't tend to bother packing any fruit for lunches, except dried, because I find it more faff than it's worth. We all have plenty of fruit/veg at breakfast or dinner, so the DCs aren't missing anything.

You don't know what's going on behind the scenes with a precious moments mum though, they may be very insecure, feeling they have to have the fruit kebab so as not to be judged, trying to make up for their own crap childhood etc etc or may just be smug guts

Oh she forgot to sneer at Fathers ...what a surprise.
She also forgot the nasty bitchy Mum who constantly puts down others and looks like a horse ...

If we all just ignore Batey Hopkins she'll go away, you know

It's sweet that she thinks she might ever need to avoid people. Bless her little cotton socks.

We have nothing planned. I know dh and dd will go camping ometime, if the weather's good enough. i know dd's birthday is August and she has some definite ideas of what she wants to do and who with. Er, that's it.

I can't remember when she goes back to school either. and right now, I don't care.

I have a spreadsheet for the hols.

So do I..but I am a working Mum. Hoping Katie will do her best to avoid me anyway..

Fuck off, Hopkins; I'm a SAHM, and never planned anything. We prefer the 'see what happens' approach.

Of course people pay attention to what she says,op linked dm,we are all discussing it
Thats why she gets assignments,because shes guaranteed get response

God, she is just soooo meh! I have no problem with people being controversial if it is what they truly believe and are passionate about it, infact I bloody welcome it!
But it's just contrived and lazy and the fecking annoying thing is that she probably is intelligent enough to do better and still provoke a lively debate - but this is just dull and a bit boring, yet already people are comparing themselves to the list and being apologetic ffs.
Cath kidston, Christ, so what? - it's not a crime to like something popular, you do not have to defend yourself, it's actually okay to like something that other people like.

I fell into a filing cabinet today and I'm in a lot of pain btw so, am just annoyed in general. She could really use her arseholeness to stir things up in a good way but she chooses this easy droll shit

There's nothing offensive about the description of the Mumsnet Mum apart from the word 'brags' and we all know that that is open to interpretation.

I am a teacher, so I plan quite a bit in the holidays to make the most of them and spending time with DS and DH (who is a SAHD). No fruit kebabs, though we do take a packed lunch to save more pennies.

She's a joke.

She really doesn't like it when, after she's cut you up on the M25 because she is driving while on her phone, you flip her the bird.

She's fucking lucky I didn't take her number and call 101.

She WISHES she was a MN mum!

I am a Mumsnet Mum.

I have holidays planned, Dahling Cath Kidston accessories ready for picnics and a plethora of Pinterest pages to steal for inspiration.

I wouldn't normally brag about it because I'm too busy

Mwahs dahlings!

She is a troll, and I wouldn't give a shinny shit what she says.

Loved how HW on this morning said but your daughters name is India < classic>

Meh, I'm a sit on my arse mum who goes on Mumsnet, interacts with her children every so often and likes to drink every night. I also don't work as I'm a carer for my dd1 with Autism. The only plans we've got for summer holidays are; going to a holiday cottage in the Lake District (paid for by Family Fund vouchers ) where we'll visit Hadrian's Wall (and I'll pretend it's made of ice and John Snow is waiting for me in Castle Black somewhere along it if I can just find him ). Take the kids to see the new Planet of the Apes movie, me and DH going to see Rock of Ages at the theatre (soooooooooooo excited). There will also probably be a couple of visits to the beach if the weather permits, if not we'll go the cinema. There will be lots of late nights (both kids and adults) and lots of wine drinking (just the adults ).

Oh yes and there's the small matter of doing the massive preparation of dd1 starting secondary school. You know hundred of several visits to the site of the new school to get her used to the route. Several pre-trial runs of wearing the new school uniform, which is a totally different colour to the one she's been wearing for the past 8 years so needs lots of wears to get her used to it. Also the several itinerary's of the new school day we'll have to go through to prepare her for the first day. Oh and tonnes of hoping she doesn't have a meltdown in the first hour.

So yes, I'd say Katie Hopkins has it spot on about me.

I would be happy to have any child at mine over the holidays as long as they brought their own packed lunch. Just could not be bothered making lunch every day.

Also just drop and go as could not be bothered with a conversation twice a day, then pip horn and child will come straight out. All dead easy at our house.

Hilarious! Way to go Katy! (even though I suppose I am 'technically a 'mumsnet' mum amd should swear undying allegiance - but, she IS funny as F.

(may I burn in hell :)

Even if she were funny - she's just not, she's still a poisonous old trout.

I wish she'd go and boil her head.

I am a mumsnet mum, although the fruit kebabs today were dipped in chocolate so presumably don't count?

It's a crap article but anything that means she'll be avoiding me is good

I suppose I sort of like her may I boil in hell because she doesn't take herself too seriously (and I never take myself seriously either) :)

I think she takes herself very seriously indeed.

Wherever did you get the idea that she doesn't?

Her vicious but pointless attacks on other women bring her a good revenue.

She doesn't like "Lazy mums". She doesn't like working mums. Erm what does she like.
Wonder what she'd make of me. I am a single working mumsnet mum who doesn't live with her partner.

At primary school in the 70s, the top put-down for jokes that fell flat was 'so funny I forgot to laugh'.
I honestly hadn't thought of it until now. I don't know what kind of mum that makes me, and I don't give a flying fuck either. Maybe hopping-mad mum, secretly bitter that nobody wants to pay me for coming up with a few derivative bits of hacky drivel.
