Another woman who needs to parp herself is...........

Lowri Turner

HERE

Another tirade from a working mum to SAHM. Why can't we all just accept that we are doing what we believe to be the best for our children? Why this copnstant need to put the other down?!!!!

she has a big grid that spouts shite

but all mothers do not have to talk to each other about children 100% of the time, surely

I would love to be a fly on the school gates tomorrow!!

bet she's got a nanny to do the school run anyway

I actually meant that if she really thinks that about her school, fgs move schools.

How come LC talked up her "return" to work then? only a week or so ago she was telling us how she'd lost her job.

She trained as a journalist with dh and I just sigh when I read her stuff, she seemed v nice when I met her but there are no real surprises, maybe it's what's expected of her by whoever commimssions her.

and can I say, some weeks ago I went on a beano thing that involved loads of working mums, some very high-poweredly working, and what did we all talk most animatedly about, and the dads too - our kids. Children are interesting sometimes. Aren't they.

what a load of old mince

I find Lucy Cavendish's continuing employment baffling, and this latest column of Lowri's a piece of lazy abusive rudery.
I hope she is lynched at the gates tomorrow, frankly. Caveat journos turning their RL into exaggerated column fodder - I know someone, not A Mner before anyone starts mulling this one over, who lost a LOAD of friends and school gate goodwill after she unwisely misrepresented a local event in her "Aren't I clever and all the other mummies stupid" column...
quite agree with MI that shortness is one of the few things NOT wrong with Lowri...

Oooh, is that Our Mutual Friend, MarinaTP, and did she really?

OMG that's awful (and another reason why refuse to read the Daily Mail)
I'm speechless...

Yes it is and yes she did. Silly girl is so full of herself I am not sure the reality of what she did has sunk in yet. People who stood up for her for years, drove her home more than once totally sozzled, etc etc. I can sort of see the funny side, because I was not part of the situation she lampooned very inaccurately and cruelly but one family especially deserved better

Oooh, just re-read it and noted that bit about a coffee on the school run...and realised I frequently do stop for an espresso in the conveniently-positioned caff on the way to DD1's school while she uses to the loo.

And then I go to work.

It's so 'I work, I'm high-flying, I'm clever, me, oooooooooooooh I'm just so glam and you aren't'. Makes me Ashamed To Be A Dwarf.

SAHM are special. I occasionally work but not often and it is much easier to work than look after the children. Not everyone can have the wonderful opportunity to stay at home with their children but those who have should view it as a privelage and also has hard work.

I often feel that when I am asked what I do and I say SAHM that I am looked down on and made to feel bad. Why? I chose to have my children and I feel that I am responsible for caring for them. Why should I feel bad? I am very fortunate that I don't need to work.

Could not agree more that LT's column demonstrates yet again the women-hating agenda of the Daily Mail. They do normally stick the knife in WOTH mothers, true, but now it's the turn of the SAHMs. Vile paper

Actually it's probably a cunning post-modernist plot to expose the WOHM in all her shallowness.

Ooh, clever MI. That would fit.

Cod - first sentence posted

grr grr grr. makes me so cross.

will swear v loudly if read it again
silly cow

Cod, which comments are yours? Are they added on yet?

Do you think she gets paid an extra fiver for every angry comment posted on the article?

Oh, yaaawwn Lowri. The woman shagging her toyboy husband was far more entertaining.

utter bitch

heres what I wrote

I know exactly why no SAHM converse with Ms Turner and it is not because she works. It would be her self important and superficial and overgeneralising judgemental attitude. Perhaps she is on the aggressive defensive about her own situation, and likes placing the guilt and blame on SAHM for her own inadequacies at being involved too little in her childrens lives.
See how many big words I used there
Mush brain my ass chick...
Smug... me nope
But happy that I am free to choose whether to work or to stay at home with my children.
We all have high horses, but some people should learn to keep their views private as made public they are offensive.

I don't know which thread to read first- this one or the Mails- some great comments on both
