LOL. I'm sure that the whole point of these articles is to cause controversy & debate!

only read half of it - what a load of crap - I wonder if she's trying to justify her actions in some way is she actually has children?

now I know why I don't read the times.

foxinsocks · 29/10/2006 13:23

if it is Daisy Waugh (the chick-lit writer - and I assume it is) then she does have children!

wow..fancy the vitriol that would have been heaped on this woman, if she had ignored her kids and let them run riot for the journey..rather than providing them with snacks & entertainment

FFS!!

Well I am clearly a failure as a SAHM - my main mission is to get out the door with as few a things as possible. With a 3 year old and a 7 year old I have got it down to no bag, a set of keys and some coins.

Surely this is one article where no one, working or not working can actually agree with a single word of it ?

UCM · 29/10/2006 13:53

I thought it was funny actually.

facebovvered · 29/10/2006 21:08

Big pile of poo! She is full of it!

expatinscotland · 29/10/2006 21:12

She's taking the piss, for sure.

notasheep · 29/10/2006 21:14

exactly

JonesTheSteam · 29/10/2006 21:15

I'm a SAHM and I don't have a big handbag .

notasheep · 29/10/2006 21:18

i am a SAHM and i dont have a handbag

expatinscotland · 29/10/2006 21:18

I'm a WOTH mum w/a bag so big it's going to form its own website.

southeastastra · 29/10/2006 21:18

it's just waffle

brimfull · 29/10/2006 21:26

ffs she's havin a laugh !

DumbledoresGirl · 29/10/2006 21:28

Read it at lunchtime. Thought it was a load of bollox, but made my kids put the dishes in the dishwasher just to be sure!

expatinscotland · 29/10/2006 21:28

And WHO takes a train that far up?

Ugggh.

Drive a car, ffs.

JoolsToo · 29/10/2006 22:32

nobess

tribpot · 29/10/2006 22:37

"journo turns moderately irritating train journey into ill-conceived rant against SAHMs" - shocker!

foulmoonfiend · 29/10/2006 22:48

Yawn...I've done both - have a bigger bag now I'm working - to cart the make-up roud in

harpsichordcarrion · 29/10/2006 22:50

dear god actually that is too badly written to be annoying.
poor woman, how sad she's run out of ideas

trying2bgood · 29/10/2006 22:52

I read that article this morning and I did wonder why oh why woman choose to put down other woman! It all seems so pathetic. I don't see men with children doing the same thing or saying my wife is better because she works blah blah blah. The journalist obviously has a chip on her shoulder. Whole generations of children were brought up by SAHMs in the past and they managed just fine - her conclusions are a load of bull!

Schokofruhstucksflockenhasseri · 29/10/2006 22:53

ok I know Im alone but .... PMSL at that article. I am surrounded by these wretched perfect mothers and children in Germany. SAHMs with one or two children and the bloody wholemeal sandwiches and carrot sticks on trains.

they really piss me off.........ooh Ive said it now

handlemecarefully · 29/10/2006 23:18

Ok - read it. Couldn't take it seriously - yaaawwn!

RottenOtter · 29/10/2006 23:31

What a repulsive woman Daisy Waugh sounds
Good sound study though. Coming up with a result that sahm reared children are so vile based on - ah yes a sample of two who she thinks but is not sure- are the product of a stay at home mum.
Pity her brats

expatinscotland · 29/10/2006 23:33

I want to get paid for writing tripe like this! [anger]

Maybe we should use our collective minds to think of some utter shite and get published.

We'll all be rich!

I'll start:
Camilla Parker-whatever-her-name-is-now is a man.
