...entering a fabulous Mum competition?

If someone has entered a mum because they think they are fabulous, then I can't see the problem.

YANBU those competitions often seem to be about who has the worst luck/health problems/family tragedies, rather than essential fabulousness.

YANBU.

But you can also enter if you've had ten of your own and fostered hundreds of others.

I know, but it's always Mums and/or Dads that have overcome something that win, isn't it?

I'm fabulous! What competition is it?

Shall we have our own?

There was a fab mum competition on MN last year. I'll win it this year as I am sooo fabulous!

at belledechocetc's first chirp! The second was overkill

See, I'm so fabulous that overkill is my RIGHT!

They should be on how fabulous you look. Managing a faultless blowdry as well as keeping your children alive and even a bit stimulated is overcoming adversity...

What defines fabulous? Surly it's down to interpretation, what I consider to be fabulous (me!) may not be the same as what you consider to be fabulous, therefore, it can never be achieved.

I'm more fabulous than you, because I've been doing it longer.

Are we talking fabulous in a cod Gok Wan kinda sense? I would love to see one of those.

That was to sloanypony.
I mean, anyone can maintain that level of fabulousness for, say, five minutes.
12 years of looking effortlessly fabulous, while bringign up fabulous children, cooking fabulous food and giving fabulous advice to all less fabulous souls is surely far more of an achievement?

I'm fabulous! It says so in my name! I'm not quite a mum yet though.

I am, of course, fabulous.
