Smuggest mum blogger post ever?

[Yippitydoodah]

I follow a mum blogger who lives in a very remote location in the UK. Posts have always been a bit ‘aren’t we wholesome’ but with some interesting stuff too. But just recently the smug has reached a new level! She homeschools her kids (not short of a bob or two) and posted about their day outdoors in the nice winter sunshine. She said ‘my son said, just think mum, if I went to school like everyone else I would be sat in a classroom missing this beautiful day. Isn’t he wise?’

AIBU to ask if this is the most self congratulatory post ever?!

Gosh. What utterly pretentious drivel. And very self-indulgent, to think that anyone cares that much to read a 20,000 word essay on her unborn baby’s room!

Direct from the page - "I whipped up a little pee pad for the potty area. I used Therm-o-web iron-on vinyl to coat both sides of some Japanese fabric from my stash."

Oh fuck off Rebecca, he did not say that

(really hope you get the reference 😂)

I’m a complete Luddite and the closest I get to following a lifestyle blogger is reading Andrew Marr’s weekly New Statesman column. I’ve just never got into it. I wile away the hours in many other ways, so no judgement, just curiosity.

Those who do follow other people’s lives in this way, please explain how it works. Do you read about their day, every day? What do you get out of it? Does it enrich your life? Just a laugh or distraction? Are they people you admire or aspire to emulate?

Enlighten me!

It would be bad enough if the child was here, but it's hilarious for an unborn baby.

Yeah, well MY six year old figured out you can’t flush a grapefruit today so, who’s the real genius? 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bristol, Rawlings and Thompson sounds more like a 1950s spanner manufacturer than what you'd hear being bawled out the kitchen window because their Tea's ready.

wanders off to the childminder/frozen thread

some things never change.

I used to nanny for someone trying to be a mummy blogger. The twat used to post all these beautiful pictures of their birthday cake, tables set for parties, little dens made in the living room or tuff trays set up for the little one. IT WAS ALL ME!!! She spent her life doing yoga and wafting about in a kaftan saying she had a migraine.

@Yippitydoodah - for the love of Pete tell us the blog. I must read it.

Those three sound like a firm of solicitors

@UseAMuckySock of course! 😂 it's actually in the picture if you click on it

Tatle is great for entertainment for Mummy bloggers and they detest Mrs Hinch!

He would possibly learn better grammar than "I would be sat" in school too.

@BertieBotts

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the link to Finn's poncetastic nursery! I remember the threads so well.

Ah so it is 😂 I was worried you would think I was telling you to fuck off 😂

My 3 year old son.

[ Grabs my nose ]

"I've got you nose. Tshhh. I've flushed it down the toilet. It's in the sewer. You've got a poo nose."

I'm quite proud of him for understanding toilets, drains and sewers.

And STILL you don't get it Keyansier

Does nothing in your mind spark a little to cause you to question your shitty comment here?

That is terribly sad :(

Not school holidays here so smart answers wouldn't work. She isn't wrong and you sound jealous. What is stopping you doing the same?

What makes a childless man so desperate to snark at women on a thread about MUMMY bloggers??
