mommies who drink

Doesn't this just sound like what we all do?

Not quite sure why a book needs to be written on it, but maybe I'm missing something.

Exactly.
It is the usual drivel contained within the drivel that is the Woman Observer magazine.God it is so bloody shite.

Brett. Now there's a name you don't see on girls' name threads on here...

Because so many bloody judgemental women spend so much of their time being judgemental about other women and their parenting skills ect. Because it is a competitive field now, because if you buy into it, it can make you feel crap about yourself and that will impact on your parenting ability.
I think it is probably a good thing to have a book that says that it is ok to be normal.

I don't think anyone who is a woman and called Brett is normal.

The extract was mildly amusing. The whole concept is quite stale though, I thought.

Observer Woman is such a pile of steaming shite.

God yes.
Tripe
Fucking tripe.

I have written to tell them so too.

I think she sounds quite funny, and want to read the book (with a large glass of red in my other hand!)

But then, I'm easily pleased/impressed, and I love the drivel that is the Observer Woman magazine

Have you? Did you get a response? What did you say?

That was to Moondog. because I do find it amazing that a lefwing newspaper can publish a Woman magazine about lipstick, dieting, relationships and having babies. Why not just give us a free copy of Cosmo?

No,no reply.
I said besically what you are saying.
That silly cow Polly Vernon wants shooting,she really does.

Y'know, I am now trying to read the Observer woman mag and mn at the same time. I don't generally buy the observer and hadn't realised how truly, patronisingly, lightweight it is. Not unlike Style in the ST.

Obs Woman = Hugely insulting. The way they all fawn over Agnes fucking Dullard Model Woman is pukesome. FGS, I am 30, I am educated, i have kidsm, I do not give two shits whether comedy knitwear is hot this autumn. Really.

I have long moaned on MN about the inexorable decline of The Observer.
I think I am stuffed for a Sunday paper.

Telegraph shite (although Sat one is good) is is Indie.Had a quick flick through an ST at a friend's today and if anything it has got worse.

excuse angry typos

My sentiments entirely LA (re Agnes Wotsit crap.) I checked to see if Polly had written it.Of course she had

Yawn.

Can these women be anymore dull?

Expat.
Gathered that you are pg!! Fantastic! Congratulations!
How is your new life going??

Polly Vernon has been going since I was a Just Seventeemn reader, I swear. And she is still writing the same vacuous crap.

She needs to fucking grow up doesn't she???

polly vernon also wrote about how she has no children because it would disrupt her cocktail hour. so she is of course the person we should read to gain meaning in our lives. but this is not really about her. i'm astounded how much the media thinks we should care about our appearances.

Yes.Who the hell are these women who spend £35 on mango stone and pomegranate seed body scrubs????

the new life is going even better now that i'm too far away from any place that sells the Sunday papers to be arsed anymore, moony .

Is Polly 'Cocktail Girl'? Oh I'd forgotten that! God, that is such a dull little piece isn't it? A sort of 'Me and my mates got pissed at yet another fabulous bar last night. It was great!' -type of thing. What rubbish. I am constantly flabbergasted by the shite 'features' the broadsheets print these days.

That's the point. I actually think I'm rather pretty and dress well, but this frivolity is beyond me. I think I can't compute the idea of a GBP700 handbag. The idea that you can have that money one minute, and then spend it on a bag seems bonkers to me. It seems rather pernicious that we should be told to spend our money on these things at a time consumer debt is soaring.
