Single SAHM, people can have whatever opinion they like about that cos its exactly that sum1 elses opinion. All i care about is my own n whether im living of benefits or payin the rent on my council house is irrelevant. All that does is that im a damn good mum.

[nappyaddict]

cos if you were a mner you wouldn't have always been called pramfacequeen so i wondered if we knew you.

but i take it you joined recently if you don't know the term mner. did you join solely to reply on this thread and if so how did you come to know about this thread?

[nappyaddict]

[ZippiBabes]

hi guess wat yes im another girl from the programme and i've only read some of this thread only because i cant b arse to read it all the stuff i have read has just all been childish talk no one has seen the programme yet and u all slaggin it off already. so wat, it called pramface and people may think that a bad name well to b honest its not up to u wat its called nor is it our choice. all this talk bout choosin to b single and that we bring it on our selfs well i'll tell u this now i didnt choose to b single my daughters dad doesnt want anything to do wit her so that aint my choice thats his and if i honest wouldn't b wit him anyway as he wrong sex for me. i no who i am and yes i know why i was put in the house to b honest i dont care i no im the best mum i can b to my daughter and i dont care wat any1 thinks bout me my daughter is happy and thats all that matters to me so u lot can judge us girls all u like but we all no the real story.

shel dont go down to there level and just ignore it they'll watch the programme and make there own judgements on it but who cares u dont no them so just leave it

[ZippiBabes]

[ElloThere]

PramFaceMansionGang....do you have a degree too?

[Lulumama]

anyone going to tell me when it is on?

[Tinkerbel6]

Pramface never hear of it and im a lone parent, I dont think thats how society views single parents cause that would be ignorant as it could relate to a woman or a man, maybe its an area thing cause darn sarf no-one I know has heard of the word, look forward to watching it

[shedev]

Single mums and one dad, aged from 18-35, children aged from 18 weeks to 10 yrs old.

[Lulumama]

when is it on. so i can make my own mind up???

[colditz]

It's a disgusting term for a disgusting stereotype, and PramFace Mansion Ladies, you have all been hand picked to reinforce that stereotype to the viewers.

With a name like 'Pramface Mansion", do you really expect that the arguments WON'T be carefully edited to show you in the least controlled, most aggressive light possible? Do you honestly think that everything good won't be downplayed and snipped out?

This programme is going to run like an episode of Jerry Springer, and will be about as realistic - and you expect us to cheer you on from the sidelines!?

To carry the racism analogy a step further, you have set yourselves up as Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima - don't expect the people you are representing to the nation to support you on this.

[colditz]

Tinkerbel5, society is ignorant, in the main.

[nametaken]

thank you colditz - this is what we've been trying to tell them all along but they won't have it.

[nametaken]

and yes, I really do think they honestly expect us to cheer them on from the sidelines. How can anyone be so naive?

[shedev]

Who on earth said cheer us on??? All i said was don't judge us until u've seen it!!! Unbelievable!!!!!! You girls have really not heard of the word irony have you???
