To actually feel a little SORRY for Liz Jones

she gets linked to quite a lot on Mumsnet (which is why I end up reading her drivel, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it).

She just seems so UNHAPPY. I think she doth protest too much about not wanting children, I think she may have the body of a skinny 17 r old but she has the personality of medusa, she has this irrational NEED to slag off and denigrate anyone who doesn't have her lifestyle. I am surprise she HAS any friends if this is the way she talks about them in the media, part of me wonders if before every column she emails them and says "don't worry about what I am going to say about you this week it's only so I can afford more designer handbags - love you really".
However I am in a forgiving mood this morning, so instead of thinking all of this is because she is not a nice person, I am going to put it down to the fact she must be dreadfully unhappy with her life.

So AIBU to feel sorry for Liz Jones or is she really just a harriden?

I think I loathe her so much when I think how she is paid to write this shite, which is fairly talentless drivel about what she thinks...today. And yep, I'm a frustrated writer, I've been on courses with better talents than her, and that's why it makes me sick/ cross to read cr*p like this. And I do think the DM should call it a day and pay for a counsellor rather than more self indulgent twaddle and insults.

She did kind of think of adopting at one point with her nitwit of an exH (according to the article "I even bought myself a teach-yourself-Hindi DVD so that I could talk to it" "it" being the orphaned Indian child they were contemplating adopting. Not a begonia or something).

To be honest you may not value my opinion seeing as I am seventeen and childless, hence why I am not as outraged as you all about Liz's recent article on motherhood. I actually googled Liz Jones just to see what other people think of her articles (no one else I know reads DM, mostly the Sun or Daily Record)and it linked me to this. I think the woman is talented, albeit unfortunate in having to document her hedonistic lifestyle and all of her shortcomings and insecurities for all the readers to see. I always wonder whether she is slightly reluctant in admitting that she has anorexia, has lied to her ex-husband about her age and does not attempt to hide her bitterness at his past infidelities. It is undoubtedly a heavygoing, dignity-stripping job. Without even mentioning her disgust at motherhood it already proves her lack of self-actualization, and I for one feel sorry for her as her career is probably the most fulfilled aspect of her life. It is likely that her friends with children do rub it in slightly. Seeing as she can afford to be self-indulgent, they perhaps find her irrelevant in their new way of life devoted to nourishing and loving their children. It is probably best to cut her some slack, as most of you have the full package, with children that can return the incomparable love you have given unconditionally to them. It is too late for Liz.

Wow that's heavy for a 17 year old!

I couldn't give a flying shit about the woman either way.

"self-actualization"

Oh God.

Does anyone here rememeber that thread by AmericanAngle ? PMSL

I can spell. Just.
