second bottle of red tonight.......

I was just going to start a thread on this! I was absolutely gobsmacked when she gave him the bottle of beer. And I always think that it's not a typical SAHM life they're experiencing when they stay at home for two weeks, because they are so isolated then. I see people every day, sometimes I'm glad to have some peace!
Would love to know what happened to them... anyone watching the follow-up on BBC 3?
Oh and another little thing: Take your 15 month old to have their hair cut at a Tony and Guy salon? More money than sense me thinks!

I just couldn't believe it that she would want to be seen on national TV to be giving alcohol to a three-year-old. Surely that must be illegal???

exactly what I was saying to DH

beer and forcing wine down a 3 year old

it's not cute and its not clever

Twiglett · 17/10/2004 21:13

not illegal in your own home I'm afraid .. but tantamount to child abuse IMHO

Twiglett · 17/10/2004 21:14

an odd sip of alcohol when a child is begging and begging is OK though .. I'm not totally anti

KangaMummy · 17/10/2004 21:17

I wouldn't be surprised if she still has the Nanny even though she's given up work. How come she is still able to visit hairdressers so easily?

Right... I'm really going to put myself right in it now... will probably be hounded off Mumsnet forever...
but here goes...

I really don't understand why people choose to work full time when they have enough money to work part-time or stay at home. I mean, the stress, the tiredness... why would you do that to yourself?
It just makes me realize that there must be something about work that I don't get. I don't miss it at all. Just don't understand the "kick" people get out of it, not at all.

I agree emkana but htis is hallowed turf on mna nd you ar e NOT allowed tosay it !
Imo she was kidding herself about her job.

theres more to lif ehtan work

OP posts:

I was just reading an article today where someone said they would lose their identity if they gave up work, and that's what the woman on hte programme said too.

I don't get that either. I'm still the same I always was, just older and wiser and a Mum now, but essentially the same. I don't feel that work had anything to do with my identity, I enjoyed it while it lasted and it paid the bills, but otherwise...
And I was a teacher, so not just any old job

kkgirl · 17/10/2004 21:34

Emkana

Its obvious!!! She wouldn't be able to have her hair done at Toni and Guy or drive her convertible BMW. Her garden was bigger than the whole estate I live on.

How the other half lives eh?

lou33 · 17/10/2004 21:35

She gave up work and a year on says it was the right thing to do. Kids are happier etc etc.
