Okay a bit of fun

[Yummymummyyobe1]

I was speaking with some friends and work colleagues and somebody mentioned that I was a yummy mummy in training (I have the mothercare t-shirt to prove it). I Laughed as you do and changed the subject (easier said then done).

I like looking nice for DP and the office and a new hair cut and french manicure and beautiful shoes, but isn't that what a woman does

The fun bit what is a yummy mummy and do you want to be one?

hahaha well i have 3 dc and working on 4th and i wear make up and heels and have had my nails done on occasion and a few facials, i also go to the hair dressers every 3 months. sometimes i wear make up everyday and sometimes i wont wear it for a week. sometimes i straighten my hair everyday and sometimes its whacked up in a pony tail.
it depends on whether i prioritise it that day or not, sometimes it feels very important and sometimes it doesnt.
i dont tend to struggle to bathe though thats a new one on me. i find it weird that someone wanting to take care of their appearance, however that maybe is considered unpleasant some how.
i also read extensively and study i dont find the time i prioritise for myself to detract from that but then i also am not sure how i would feel if some one called me a yummy mummy as i am not really sure what it means. i know its suppose to be a compliment but as we can see here it can have very different meanings.

Goodness, after reading this for a second time i really feel badly for the poor OP. Title does say that this is meant to be a bit of fun, and some on here have been downright mean! Are we back at school? Isn't this supposed to be a forum where actual opinions are voiced rather than two sentences of bitchiness?

Completely agree, bonbon. I'm the least manicured person there is, but find the judgment on here really disheartening.

I think OP has taken it with very good grace.

The bitchy comments have made me sooooo angry ! So much so that it has brought me out of lurking!! OP don't justify your opinions to the small minded!! I would far rather be a yummy mummy than a slummy mummy, but hey ho... Each to their own!

Hi Ladies,

Thank you for all your posts. I did not mean any offence and I appriciate that everybody had their own take on things. I hope you all have a great Christmas. xx

Wow! Some, er, interesting comments! I hope these dc's won't be inheriting this negativity and prejudice.

OP, if you want to keep yourself well groomed then go for it. I was never glamorous before having dd but there haven't been many occasions where I haven't found time to put make up on, and I can always find time to shower!! FWIW, my DD hardly slept when she was a newborn and at 15 months is still waking several times a night, and I've been working PT and studying since she was born, so it's not that I have had it particularly easy.

Good luck with your pregnancy and motherhood.

Thank you all.
Thanks Yogiandyak
