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

And I did snort at Mumsnet Mum. Spot on.

Deverethemuzzler · 20/07/2014 17:40

I have some butterflies waiting to hatch Grin

Deverethemuzzler · 20/07/2014 17:42

I just read it.
Jeez, she makes her money easy doesn't she?

pictish · 20/07/2014 17:45

Too right. I could've churned that one out nae bother. Any of us could.

MissAlabamaWhitman · 20/07/2014 17:49

I think she's got mumsnet and babycentre mixed up there if I'm honest.
;)

Ah she's a poisonous moo.

I don't do school run in my PJ's but I probably should as it would be better than yesterdays clothes retrieved from my floordrobe. That said I do get washed and dressed once home.

But lazy mum would surely be my kindred spirit.

There's a bit of all of me in those descriptions I think. She's paid to be a bitch. Imagine that. Its worse than prostitution as even your clients hate you.

It's a fairly amusing article, how can anyone feel offended by it?

TheRealAmandaClarke · 20/07/2014 19:56

potnoodle I take a bit of leave. And pay a childminder.
It's an expensive time of year. And I'm always a bit Envy of sahms in the holidays. Id love to be doing more with mine. Sad

I think I'm a mixture of them all (except single dad, funnily enough). Mind you, as a teacher I know down to the minute when the holidays start! I will devote a few days to lazy mum, sharing childcare with a friend as we go to Legoland with our DSs (much easier to go with a mate, they can queue together). There will be a bit of MN mum (free entry to stuff we are members of) and 2 weeks in France- not all inclusive, but lots of child entertainment laid on.

The only mom I'd want to avoid during the summer holidays, is Katie fucking Hopkins.

"Despite leaving Mum for another woman, Divorced Dad still wants his son to think that he's the best father in the world.
Confused Kid spends an awkward two weeks in Rhodes with Dad and a woman he hates who keeps ruffling his hair."

Did even that not raise a wry smile from some of you. It did me.

I was planning to be Minecraft&Prosecco Mum. They play it on the iPad and I drink all day. Is that wrong then?? ;-)
