AIBU to think this mum blogger is BU?

How can this mum blogger on FB who has over 180k followers seriously think this is an acceptable way to behave?

What did she do wrong?

Or is this you and you are wanting to get your blog out?

Giratina · 25/09/2016 19:40

She sounds lovely Hmm. Glad I don't know her or her "mini terrorists" in real life.

ghostyslovesheep · 25/09/2016 19:40

eh? why?

SquatBetty · 25/09/2016 19:41

I don't understand this either - what do you think she's done wrong?

user1471517900 · 25/09/2016 19:42

Bit harsh.... Lots of people struggle with "cue" versus "queue"

AdamantEve · 25/09/2016 19:42

I follow her. The posts she writes are very tongue in cheek and "lighthearted" - not to everyone's taste but not worth getting upset about

No not me! I can't believe she took her 4 other kids to a party only one of them was invited to Shock
And then posted a pic of them surrounding the birthday girl as she was blowing out her candels Hmm

What is it you find so reprehensible? The swearing? Photos? I think it's a shit blog post, but I hate "mummy bloggers" anyway. I can't really see she has done much wrong though?

DerekSprechenZeDick · 25/09/2016 19:43

I think it's just honest. I'd be wanting drinks nd drugs if I had 5 kids and a swimming party

DancingDinosaur · 25/09/2016 19:44
Confused
Lilacpink40 · 25/09/2016 19:45

She wants a place to moan. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Personally I see a mum taking 5 kids out, then letting off steam at end of the day.

BlasianFashionista · 25/09/2016 19:45

I don't think she has done anything wrong either.

If that was the case surely she would be losing followers.

ghostyslovesheep · 25/09/2016 19:45

well she was asked to help out - was she supposed to leave the other kids in the car? she paid for them so I'm not sure what the issue is

I often had to bring the others along to parties (single parent) no one batted an eyelid

Only1scoop · 25/09/2016 19:46

God to people actually read this boring shite

SquatBetty · 25/09/2016 19:46

But how do you know she didn't quickly contact whoever was holding the party to ask if she could bring her other 4 kids?

Lot of assumptions being made here

Honeyandfizz · 25/09/2016 19:46

I personally think it's extremely boring & cannot understand the interest in something thousands of parents do everyday.

Only1scoop · 25/09/2016 19:47

She paid for 'dip and dine' so I guess that's covered the rest of her tribe

MumOnTheRunCatchingUp · 25/09/2016 19:47

God. Why do you care?? Why?

Indiaplain · 25/09/2016 19:48

Seems like a typical mummy blogger post to me. Nothing that any of the others don't do.

allsfairinlove · 25/09/2016 19:48

If it's not to your taste fair enough. But why post in the spirit of shaming? That's off.

Oswin · 25/09/2016 19:48

I started following her a few days ago, I think she's funny.

Buzzardbird · 25/09/2016 19:49

Hang on, you don't know the difference between 'cue' and 'queue' and also don't know how to spell 'candles'...is it you?

longdiling · 25/09/2016 19:49

How on earth do you know they weren't invited?! Round here siblings go to parties as standard and I get some very odd looks and comments when I don't take all of mine! And aren't the kids supposed to stand with the birthday child and sing happy birthday?!

BennyTheBall · 25/09/2016 19:50

Meh! I am glad I am not into mummy bloggers. Who cares?

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 25/09/2016 19:52

The writing quality's pretty poor, and her style is a bit hackneyed, but I just wouldn't read it. There are FAR too many mummy blogs out there.
