To think this is a bit off of the Mumsnet writers?

I was just reading the mumsnet development calendar for 9 months, and came across this -
'She will enjoy trying to stack things and put things into containers, although this does not mean she will end up doing shelf work in Tesco's'.

What's wrong with doing shelf work in Tesco's?! Is it me, or does it read a bit 'don't panic, your pfb won't end up a lowly shop worker'? (Fully prepared to be told it is just me).

Thanks for drawing this to our attention. This was, as someone suggested upthread, written in a spirit of self-parody; there's a missing which would have flagged our gentle ribbing of parents-of-PFBs a bit more clearly (curse those low-paid interns Wink).

Interestingly, this is the first time that anyone's commented in the 15-odd years we've been sending it out - but we do take the point that read in isolation it does seem a bit snooty, and we'll look at refreshing it forthwith.
