Bad Mother - the new comedy series exclusive to Mumsnet

Hello all,

Come and have a look at the very first episode of , a new comedy web series which we'll be showing exclusively on Mumsnet over the next six weeks.

It's a very relatable (and very sweary) show that we hope you'll enjoy - each episode is about five minutes long, so just right for watching with a (microwaved) cuppa while the kids run wild entertain themselves.

We'll remind you on our Mumsnet Facebook page every time a new episode goes live - so if you're not yet following us, now's the time to do so.

The series follows a beleaguered stay-at-home mum (Star Stories' Laura Patch, with Kevin Bishop as her husband) who's trying her best not to bugger up this parenting lark. Each episode tackles a particularly challenging parenting scenario - so if you've ever muttered under your breath about other people's children, dreaded yet another playdate, or felt some affinity with the phrase 'benign neglect', we think you'll find something to snigger over in Bad Mother.

Let us know what you think.

Grin I did a shared birthday party. Just the once, I can learn from my experience.

GoodyGoodyGumdrops · 23/06/2017 17:10

Possibly...perfect. Grin

(Except for that unfeasibly immaculate white living-room at the end.)

Wineandrosesagain · 23/06/2017 17:15

How funny!

PoppyTree · 23/06/2017 17:21

Will watch this later when DH has gone to bed. Smile

BetterEatCheese · 23/06/2017 17:25

Looks fab!!

PoppyTree · 23/06/2017 17:30

Watched it now as I didn't realise it was only 5 minutes long!

Loved it. Smile

See, this is why you don't tell men SHIT! Angry

My DH has a tendency (occasionally,) to blab stuff I have said. Especially if I say 'don't tell said person.' He says he forgot I said don't tell. Twat. Grin

Maudlinmaud · 23/06/2017 17:33

Tee hee. I needed this. Today was tough.

WheresLarry · 23/06/2017 17:36

I quite liked it, laughed at the ending. Although I don't think someone would swear as much in real life in the opening scene. Seemed like including swearing because they can and to get a cheap laugh

user1496484020 · 23/06/2017 17:37

meh

Blahblahbollocks96 · 23/06/2017 17:55

Not really my humour, bit too 'try hard,' but different strokes for different folks and all that.

LiefievdM · 23/06/2017 18:16

Lol. This.

MargotLovedTom1 · 23/06/2017 18:19

I hope it's better than that fucking weird thing with the two men/puppets/freaks in the doll's house, or whatever it was.
