How To Be A Good Mother..

[IWantMyHatBack]

Getting in early with this one... anybody watching?

Nah I'm too busy watching crap tv and Mning to do that amount of mothering. Do none of these people have an iPad?

Very true Slinky my alarm at 6.30 too and I am now wide awake.

I thought the bit I saw was quite interesting (the three women + Sharon), SparklingBrook. I liked the Organised Mum and Jolly Mum.

so in summary I belive:

loads of children = good
made up names = crap
fabulous figure = good
breastfeeding for 11 years = good

placentas = good
elimination communication = batshit
Wet nursing = whatever

more placentas = good
CS comments = batshit

poledancing fame hungry helicoptering = bad

children as friend = bollocks

photos of poo = batshit

risky stunt no nonsence = good
no helmets= bad

I could have done with that summary before the show started Cervix. I think you have summarised beautifully.

AYC saves me from typing. Ta.

Agree with above summary

Curiousmama - that comment is , it's amazing how insensitive some people can be.

I don't think just cooking it slowly would preserve that many vitamins, try to picture the vitamin content of a cabbage that's been cooked on a low heat for 2 days...

It would be good if we could have that sort of summary for other programmes.

Apologies for my slow typing, I need to press refresh before posting

Was worried that watching this was going to make me feel inadequate and guilty. But on balance, I feel, well, allright.

Although in this week alone I have been asked by my 4y old why I called him a dickhead (wasnt talking to him) and asked by my 7y old why I was being so nice and not shouting like I normally do.

Charleen and her family rock apart from the names

Oh I forgot about 2 mums - says a lot though I quite liked the tech woman until she said it wasn't a blackboard.

what were the parents names?

Step mum , what a twat.

Charlene and terry - begs the question why are 2 kids not given those actual names!?

the parents were Charlene and Terry, IIRC

So one poor kid got Chitty?

And was there a (relatively normal) Cherry?

I flicked between Teenmums on 5 and How to be a Good Mother on 4. Good Mother was far more depressing and bonkers, loved the presenter though.

So is there another one on next week?

I am so late to the party. Wish I'd been over here bitching discussing with you lot

I'm watching on +1 so only a bit over half way but why are they all foreign? Surely we can breed our own nutters aspiration parents here in Britain?

Charlene and Terrys children are called Techar, Chartel, Cherry, Charmar, Telsee and Chantee. I remember reading a newspaper thing about her when visiting friends once and my friend commenting that she went to school with her(just text friend to find out their names). Shes had the 7th now but friend dosent know what she had.
