hmmm. all the archetypes cited are shallow, competitive, vain assholes in one way or another. i don't think all mothers are, personally - not even in London

foxinsocks · 21/10/2006 19:10

was it in T2? I thought it was appalling all week - they even had some non feature about couples sharing a bed (that went on for days....)

I'm thinking of setting it to music. (local, weirdy folk music of course.)

Sorry MI.

Combination of 'Been there done that' and 'Designer mum' maybe - don't know.

Funny there isn't a 'Two glasses of wine per day don't give a shite mum'

elastamum · 21/10/2006 19:17

Its a shame they didnt do scummy mummy. I feel I've missed out

Blondilocks · 21/10/2006 19:21

That was funny!

Don't think I'm any of them.

foulmoonfiend · 21/10/2006 19:26

Apart from the wanting to make anyone feel woefully inadequate, I will confess to a lot of self recognition of craft mummy. But too common (and poor) for F and B paint - we've a 'on special offer at DoItAll' house

3andnomore · 22/10/2006 12:44

lol, I thought this article was quite amusing and defiantely one has to take it with a big pinch of salt, me thinks
Couldn't recognise myself in any of them...bits from this one bits from that one, and some more in my case!

TooTickyTheAppleBobber · 22/10/2006 12:55

I think I'm a less posh eco mum

Sheraz · 22/10/2006 13:51

Can't Id myself with any of them really. Maybe a chummy Mummy - just normal friendly trying my best to be a good Mummy, not well off, but doing OK. Certainly no designer gear - if only! Little bit eco warrior - well I recycle!

CountTo10 · 22/10/2006 14:16

I think there's a little of all of them in me!!!! Not a very good range though - there's lots more types out there!!

EmmyLou · 22/10/2006 14:55

This says nothing to me about my life.

(sorry Morrissey)

SSSandy · 22/10/2006 15:01

Think I'm a Tate

Uncomfortably aware that I have a trace of the helicopter mum in me too!

I'm surprised some of you have taken this article seriously enough to be offended by it - it's only a bit of fun, for goodness sake!! I'm with Countto10 - I recognise a bit of myself in several of the "Mummy Types"...

GraceUnderFire - thanks for the lesson in link-typing - had another go and STILL couldn't do it - I'm a lost cause - will have to get DH to help me.....

No, not me. Unless they do a knackered, skint yet inexplicably happy mum.

DetentionGrrrl · 22/10/2006 16:08

Eco is closest, but not spot on.

Surfermummystomb · 22/10/2006 16:26

I'm none of them. Where's the "let your child watch endless CBeebies so you can talk to a bunch on strangers on the internet mum"?

Sheraz · 22/10/2006 16:56

Lol surfer my DS2 is doing just that while I do this! DH and DS1 think I ma revising for an exam so ae very kindly clearing away yhe lunch stuff and being extra quiet for me, whoops!

Tortington · 22/10/2006 17:52

no power rangers and wotsits mummy then?

Blandmum · 22/10/2006 17:53

Can't be arsed mummy

Sausage roll mummy

My farking kid never lies Mummy

EmmyLou · 22/10/2006 20:03

LOL surfer - also saw no reference to "Bugger off and get yourself a snack - I've cooked 3 meals for you today - what more do you want? Blood?" Mum.

lapsedrunner · 22/10/2006 20:09

None of them, I'm Sergeant Major Mum!!!!

hunkermunker · 22/10/2006 20:10

This article is from a book?! A whole book?!

What's wrong with bog roll?!

LemonTart · 22/10/2006 20:18
