Jewish Mother of the Year tonight!!

[lighthousekeeping]

Yes, I know it's going to be full of stereotypes and my Jewish friends will be cringing but will watch it anyway I can't wait though!!! I'm recording it and will have a rubbish tv fest at the end of the week.

Ooh, I watched this, thought it was ok, but that is more as I am putting them into boxes of Nice, and Not Nice. In Nice, I had the one with curly red hair, the one paired with Ruth, and the one paired with Emma. And the blonde from last week. And Traci-Ann (sp?), who I LOVE.

I didn;'t like Ruth. I would tar her with my worst insult, or 'not having many women friends'. (and I guess she can't really have friendships with blokes in the same way that I do either.) She just can't seem to get on with anyone at all.

Which leads me to ask: what does 'frum' mean? It was said last night and above. Is it just every orthodox, or does it mean more? Is 6 children lady also frum?

Frum.Last night I think he said Frummer/a which is basically someone who is frum.

I and my family always use it as someone who is quite observant. So not necessarily orthodox but observant. Although I don't really mix with observant jews and I think amongst them its just for orthodox and hasids.

So yes 6 lady is frum. She is a frumma.

Ah, thank you!

Ooh, a bit of judicious (ahem) googling reveals that Mr Emma is Laurence Beck, a chartered surveyor/property investor.

And that Emma became known when a Batmitvah routine that she did with her daughters went viral last year. linky

Wowzers, embarassing Mum alert. The daughters don't look too mortified though.

Her children are September, Atlanta, Gypsy, Duran and Tiger Lily!

One Direction performed.

At least she seems a laugh.

Interesting, names. I'd have been surprised if she'd had an Emily and a Chloe.

And this is the video!

Erm, September Bliss if you please!

So. She was a Duranie, wasn't she? Someone from Duran Duran had a child called Atlanta, with Amanda de Cadenet. A Taylor, not sure which.
WOuld have expected at least one to be called Rio.

I think if I had her figure, I'd be posting videos of myself in crop tops ALL THE TIME!

September Bliss sounds like the name of a slightly racy Mills and Boon novel.

Fuck is she older than me? She looks so good for her age and a mother of 5!

It was John Taylor apparently.

Tiger Lily is very Paula Yates.

God imagine what Ruth must have made of their names. People think my DCs names are a bit odd but they're not this wacky. I wonder if hers have hebrew names too like mine

LOL have to post this.

In response to me saying Tiger Lily is very Paula Yates, DD1 just said and Gypsy is very Yates Wine Bar

All my 3 are impressed by the video though.

Very Yates Wine Bar?! She's really witty!!! How old?

this made ma laugh. In a profile of all the Jewish Mothers, the most positive thing they author could say about Ruth was wears sheitel throughout!

really did not like Ruth

She's 17, I'm surprised she knows what they are though.

However she has pointed out to me that I've often harped on in utter disgust about somewhere being like a Yates

I think that's a good joke for a 17yo!
But what doI know? My eldest is 4 and his only favourite joke is what's brown and sticky...

I'm quite impressed, I've rewarded her with a freddo.

That blogs quite funny. Am intrigued by Emma and her family although more by the fact it doesn't give her age. It appears her husband does a bit of footballing too.

I didn't like ruth either, she was like a 12 year old school girl with glasses man and with the batmitzvah challenge she started off by saying she was out of touch with youth then trying to dominate the entire thing.

After watching that video I can see them been on My Sweet 16 next. I love seeing rich people's houses! . I was in Radlett yesterday at my friends impressive house and I asked her where she thought Emma's was and she said that the big houses are all at "the other side" of Radlett. My friends has a mere six bedrooms so god knows how many the ones on "the other side" have.

Have been watching this show. Very intriguing. Will keep watching til the end as I'm hooked now!
