Thinly disguised smug oneupmumship like this just makes me feel so tired.
Pass the kitkats.

Don't read the Daily Mail. I figured out the paper was pants when I was 15 years old. They'll repeat the same article next year because they think their readers are too thick to remember. Wind up merchants as well.

...I don't even eat that well..let alone my dds.

I have to stand up here in the path of rotten tomatoes and say that poor woman did start out with the best of pretentions intentions and now they are backfiring on her.

I also did the cook-it-all-myself-simple and-plain (read flavourless) stuff at first and the result is that dd2 won't try anything new. Two meals a night; one for her and one for me and dd1(and yes...she got me wrapped round her little finger...all for a quiet life )

welliemum please take a breath....

welliemum · 15/11/2007 20:53

Bother, it was quite a good pithy comment.

CatIsSleepy · 15/11/2007 20:55

pithy or not, I don't think they're going to put it up there welliemum!
maybe their system's crashed from all the abuse coming their way

stripeymama · 15/11/2007 20:56

I commented too at lunchtime and still not up there.

Maybe they have banned all MNers?

RosaTransylvania · 15/11/2007 20:58

I think they are running scared.

That article makes me want to stab myself.

What an utter utter, I am not going to be forced to say a word I hate but my God how vomit inducing.
She must live where I used to -in Clapham- and take them for organic lettuce shakes at "Chocolate". You would overhear the uber Mums there trying to outdo each other - "Phillipa would you like the balsamic on your Carpaccio?"

Shudders

I love ggg's anecdote.

paulaplumpbottom · 15/11/2007 21:19

She is lying

expatinscotland · 15/11/2007 21:21

she's talking out her arse.

PSCMUM · 15/11/2007 21:26

brilliant.
twattery of the highest highest highest order.

MissM · 17/11/2007 20:13

Oh. My. God. I don't know whether to puke or assume that it's a wind up. I say good for the 'pal' who gave her daughter a load of gummy sweets which made her puke.

Wilkie · 17/11/2007 20:16

What a nob!

hunkermunker · 17/11/2007 20:16

LOL! Still only the one comment...!

Perhaps they can't balance it out with ones "for" her pov!

stripeymama · 17/11/2007 20:19

They have still not got any further comments up there!

Guessing all those submitted were along the lines of 'your kids sound like snobby rude brats and I hope they never come for tea at my house you smug muffia member' then.

Obviously put slightly more delicately.

stripeymama · 17/11/2007 20:19

x posts there hunker!

Habbibu · 17/11/2007 20:23

ggg - tell me it was smash. It'll make my day...

mamazon · 17/11/2007 20:30

oh woe is me, my child will only eat good nuticious wholesome food and i can afford to feed it to them.

how about bringing up a child that until he was 5 had never eaten a piece of fruit. who survived on a diet no more complex than 14 foods.

who still today needs to see a food daily for 3 months before he will even touch it let alone taste it.

smug bitch.

Nightynight · 17/11/2007 20:57

lol at that ridiculous article. This is why I gave up reading newspapers, too much is written by people who have absolutely nothing to do with me.

Magdelanian · 17/11/2007 20:58

Smoked Salmon, Brie, Stilton, Oysters, Olives all my fav stuff. If I try to get DD to try them she thinks I'm trying to poison her. My mates little lad cries out for humus though he's 2.

I just thought your palate changed as you get older but maybe it is what you are given as a kiddie.

LoveAngelGabriel · 18/11/2007 09:42

Lauren Booth is a waste of space.

needmorecoffee · 18/11/2007 10:09

well, I had no idea Brie was meant to be eaten at room temperature.
She sounds like a smug up her own arse Clifton Mummy (like Chelsea mummies but here in the west)
One of my hobbies is to pop into Fresh And Wild up in Clifton and freak out the yummies with dd. She's in a wheelchair but these braying women think a sugar free organic diet and some essential oils cure everything. And take a can of coke ;-)
IGW, you should join me one day. Hours of amusement

Essentially they're just fussy eaters like lots of other children and she's just dressing it up to make it appear that they're fussy in a good way because she's such a terrific mother.
