I know I'm being unreasonable, I know it's harmless, I know it's none of my business.

But if I see another family holiday picture where its all best profile, drinky with pinky cocked over her straw sunglasses tilted look at my boobs again I'll scream.

Or I can vent here and you can all talk me down before I say something everyone will regret.

I mean just relax, play with the kids, have fun .

The fact I was rung on day one of the school holiday cause she couldn't deal with them might be colouring my attitude to all the time spent styling, posing and collating perfect pictures must be taking. But I'm old school and my kids weren't accessories.

I do feel better now, thank you for listening.

Since the point went over your head, your post is very much 'showing off' despite you saying you were brought up so much better than those awful women who (OMG) pout!

I categorically disagree! You've missed my point entirely 🙄

It's so disheartening to see so many women spew such vitriol toward other women.

Internalised misogyny is alive and well on Mumsnet, it seems.

What a strange way to think. It's very presumptuous. I can't be doing with men that pose and act shallow and vain either! It's absolutely nothing to do with the sex of the person!!
