Lol that women with children are "inundated with support". Oh yes. so inundated. Mumsnet's existence hardly qualifies as being "inundated". Seems to me it was set up independently and is still struggling to support itself as a long-term concern.
I read that article and decided that PW's "friends" sound desperately rude. Why does she hang around with people who say such offensive things to her?
I'm not even going to bother with all the stuff about women's wages and careers taking a big hit after having children, or stats about violence in the home increasing after the arrival of children.
Nor am I going to say anything about who's interests it might be in to set one class of women against another.
Just remark that I regard this article as a small and unusual insight into the social mores and habitus of a section of society I so rarely meet - because I am far poorer than they are.
Lawks-a-mercy! Them's posh folk - who'd think they's is living in the same city as me and all? they's so fine and diff'rent! but ... aw ... all that money and them's still sad. Well. bless me, I'll just thank the good Lord for what I has and not be jealous of them's that has more because they's not always blessed with what they's has!!
But, isn't her hair so soft! Looks like a queen or princess or fairy or summat, she does! There's me, with my rough hands, but I feels like a princess with my lovely children and my little home, that I keeps nice and clean misself.
