Snorting at venn diagram of Scottishmummy

DarrellRivers · 07/07/2010 17:02

mumpreneur only makes cupcakes though
Or bunting or handprinted t-shirts at a stretch

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/07/2010 17:02

Slightly concerned that scottishmummy is going to come on here and called me a skein heid or something.

She is rather formidable.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/07/2010 17:04

Oh mumpreneur.

Always featured in Red magazines with her chi chi cupcake business run out of her barn conversion at her lovely Oxfordshire home, all funded by hedge fund husband Hughie (who spends his week shagging Lithuanian beauties)

"Mumpreneur"?
that is hateful.
Shouldn't it be mumtrepeneur? Not that it should be anything.

"Yummy mummy" is fecking horrendous also, as are the terms in the OP.

I do think those who use them about themselves should be pitied rather than hated, I think it's a certain type of lady who doesn't have much of a personality without the "I'm a mum" (insert smug face of Myleen or similar here) thing.

I LOVE being called Mummy by DD & dread the day "Mum" takes over. I will be her Mummy forever (I always called my mum Mum)

However as for all the mummy-bullshit out there, I hate it. Yummy-mummy, cyber-mummy etc etc. Puke - horrid, skin crawling etc. Oh the glee of being yummy and mummy! But like so many things that piss me off it's just the 'media' isn't it? Easy for headlines etc

And don't get me started on nappy-bags!!! Especially not the one you get for 'free' from Boots, retail value £39 or something silly. YO BOOTS! ON WHAT PLANET IS THAT BAG WORTH £9 LET ALONE £29 or £39????

Get a bag, that hangs on your buggy or on your back. Put nappies in it and some wipes and an couple of old supermarket bags. Sorted!

DarrellRivers · 07/07/2010 17:19

I opt for calling her sm, which has slightly tough credentials

Pattenberger · 07/07/2010 17:28

Yanbu. Yummymummy makes me dry heave. I also want to die everytime my mother calls my nana 'mummy'.

Why is it so surprising that women and especially mothers have opinions, are able to set up businesses, write etc, that it all needs special labels? It all seems a bit sexist tbh

CakeandRoses · 07/07/2010 17:28

LOL at skein heid. Sorry, don't mean to stir

CompyCod · 07/07/2010 17:46

blimey thoight you would have encountered scottish mummy.

Is a pithy type. No nonsense. Funny.

GetOrfMoiLand · 07/07/2010 17:49

Types scottish if you know what I mean.

LadyThompson · 07/07/2010 17:57

I have never heard of Mumpreneur. Very ugly. Plus I only see 'mump', there must be something wrong with me.

Scottishmummy is my favourite. I don't mean that in a crawly way. I mean it in an 'ard, take-no-prisoners way.

But yes, Mummyblogger blows. Ugh.

hifi · 07/07/2010 18:12

i hate "mummy friends". is that the real cod?

CakeandRoses · 07/07/2010 23:58

GetOrf - loving your work on this thread. Also love the way you've tried to throw yourself a lifeline with 'funny'

Just13moreyearstogo · 08/07/2010 00:10

Patronising and insulting. Where are the corresponding articles about traddy/faddy/laddy//saddy daddies??

DDDixon · 08/07/2010 07:11

So glad it's not just me who is enraged by the Boots changing bag! It's barely worth 25p. Surely nobody actually buys them for the full RRP. You could get a cream appliqued Winnie the Poo one for that.

mangoandlime · 08/07/2010 07:45

Nah. It's the 'Blogger' part of 'Mummy Blogger' I find nauseating
