How To Be A Good Mother..

[IWantMyHatBack]

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

I have enjoyed this thread thoroughly. I'm off now to try to find the actual programme online.

Very true dande. One whole baby, bloody hell.

Just finished watching this on 4OD. They all make for good tv, don't they? All a little extreme.

I like their conviction but it is easy to pretend that everything you do works for you when on the telly. I liked Antonnia's approach but didn't warm to her as a person and admired the first one but seriously judged her name choices and make-up

Oh, and DH said he couldn't be married to any of them (But then he's just being kind to me )

Just found this on Catch Up - can't believe I'd missed the thread, but as soon as I started watching, I knew there had to be one .
Fab TV - totally as you'd expect, finding extremes or parenting to make them look ridiculous, but such absorbing viewing.
However I do think an editor or someone should have stepped in and not shown poor Harry. That lad has to go to school today, next week, next month. He must already be pretty mortified by his embarassing mother, but at least prior to this it would only be people who saw him and his mother together who would connect them - now the whole school / neighbourhood / town knows. Poor lad.

BfG wasn't harry already shown on TV with her on a couple of the other programs she's been on? I think he has!

i think she was also on some embarrassing mum program as well where it showed what she wore to his school etc. Bit like Hotter than my daughter or something like that (but not that one)

Oh, right - I've not seen any of those. Still, poor lad.

Omg I have just joined this sight, and just by reading these comments make ou lot look the loons. I feel sorry for your kids not the mothers on the telling.
Your language and the way you speak is unreal.

Poor children!

I've never know such a bunch of judgemental people, how can you judge someone that you don't even know. It's showed all of what 10 minutes of each mother.

So are doing things as a Buisness, others combining their children's names, I think the children would feel special from it.

I think you need to listen to the show again and hear them pronounced right.

It shows how thick you are chanty was a song which they sung on boats not a bloody bed pan doh!

Who wants to join and speak with such foul mouthed people, know wonder there is so many kids that cause so much anti social behaviour, just look at the parents, you fowl lot :(

I suggest sianoxford that you un-join this site pronto if we offend you. At the very least until you can write a coherent and correctly spelt sentence.

Now, now spongefingeranyone, SianOxford is very welcome on this site.

Have a wander round Sian, you may find a topic called AIBU most interesting.

But Sian, how can you judge us? You've only known us for ten minutes!

:o Flouncy

Veeeery late to this thread, but I have a few thoughts:

• I heart Sharon Horgan.

• How do you get "Charmar" out of Charlene and Terry? There's no M!

• I don't get EC. I realise that parents who subscribe to the more leftfield / lentil-weavery / labour intensive parenting methods do so because they firmly belief it's not just best for the child, but essential to the child. Somehow I don't think a baby cares where or on what it wees and poos. So what's the advantage of doing it? If it's purely an environmental one, why not use cloth?

I loved Sharon on it. She was funny
RE the buggy with mittens its stokke and I have one of them winter kits. Its lovely

buggy with mittens

ladies! a bit too late but i am the mumsnet app mum! hope all is well.. at least some of you loved the show. sorry for the huge late response.. ive been busy working!!

Sunshine kids make the pushchair mitts i think and i think the one with 6 kids is the most normal one of the lot the one who has a nanny and has a video conference with her baby is a mumsnetter she said she had a lot of mummy apps and listed mumsnet as one of them

only just noticed your post pmsl

And im not being judgemental nothing wrong with being a working mum for the record before i get eaten alive by angry working mums

I liked you Fioriettilondon

I found you the least irritating as well

I work full time and have 3 children, come back and see me in a few years ......

Actually Sian, chanty is an old Glaswegian word for bedpan.

And although the song can be spelled chanty it's usually spelt shanty as it is generally pronounced with a sh sound.

So who is thick?
