To absolutely hate the expression Yummy Mummy

[Behindthepaintedgarden]

Probably am being unreasonable, but for some reason this expression just makes me absolutely cringe. I hate it with a passion and want to stab anyone who uses it.

AIBU and should I seek therapy?

YANBU

I only seem to hear/read the expression 'Yummy Mummies' used by women, as a dig at other women who like to dress well/take time over their appearance.

oh thanks for the explanation!

Yes totally cringeworthy although would find it flattering if someone else called it me! Ridiculous to call yourself one.
I hate being called Hun it irritates me far more not sure why.

Sorry to sound stupid, but what does MILF stand for?

Mother I'd Like To Fuck

Ah no wonder everyone hates it then.

I may have been guilty of thinking the acronym FILF

Also, on occasion, GILF (regarding Leonard Cohen, specifically)

I know someone who is in a Facebook group called "Breastfeeding yummy mummies". If I was looking for BF support that name would put me right off.

I don't really like any phrases with mummy in them tbh.

Manhattan I'm not keen on from scratch either there's something about it that makes me think 'smug'. I don't know why please don't hate me

YANBU, I'd hate to be described as 'yummy' regardless of maternal status, I am made of neither chocolate or cake.

I agree Pass. 'Mummy friends' etc eugh

We had a "hello mummy" song at baby peep. It was in my head all day and gave me the rage. I know they can't learn everyones name but I just don't want to constantly be referred to as mummy. E.g. How is Mummy today? Oh i'm fine. Not seen my mum but I think she is ok...

The wife of one of my mates is friends with a group of mums from school.

They call THEMSELVES the "yummy mummies". Perhaps the name "we are a bunch of twats that are so up our own arses and nobody is as attractive, fashionable or interesting as us" was a bit too long...

YABU ! I do know this is only a lighthearted thread but really don't sweat the small stuff !! Having endured a history of miscarriage and multiple rounds of IVF to get my DS I absolutely love being called any version of mummy ! Yummy or otherwise !

Ooh can I add "as a family" to the twee smug list ?

We went out to the cinema last night as a family. Why ?

I am getting old and bitter though I know

The word mummy used by anyone over the age of about 10 pisses me off.

Yanbu. Hubby/ hubster and the term ' date night ' also upsets me greatly.

lol no i hate it too cringy as fuk

My mum used to call my changing bag my 'yummy mummy bag'. It made me want to punch her in the face.

There is actually a changing bag with yummy mummy embroidered on the side. That makes me want to hurl.

I despise it. It conjures up an image of a neglected baby because the yummy mummy is sat putting her make up on.

I have a slummy mummy t-shirt. I wear it whenever I have to contend with the self proclaimed yummy mummys who rule the school PTA.

I don't like the expression, but I also object to the PP's comment about a baby being neglected because their mum was putting make-up on.

mothers are earth angels?! (laughing my head off) I am definitely not an earth angel. More a fishwife.

YANBU
I despise it almost as much as 'date night' and 'my partner' after five dates.

Sadly for me I have seen all three on my FB news feed at the same time
