So if Motherland was real....

[alfafabean]

What would all the characters post on here?
I'm a tad obsessed with this programme and I'd love to hear your theories on what they would post on here for a bit of fun

@BrilliantBetty

Anne would put up with far less BS if she was a MNtter she'd have realised Amanda's a CF.

Maybe she found us just before she called Amanda out in that last ep.

Yes! The term Cheeky Fucker could have been tailor made for Amanda. Anne would start a thread 'AIBU to tell my friend I can't take her DS to Advanced Mandarin ever Thursday so she can go to ashtanga yoga'. Then drip freed she has a 3 month old and twins and has a FT job. And we'd all scream CFer!!! But she'd refuse to do anything and then everyone combusts with rage and hides the thread.

Yes!

My husband is Kevin and I'm a hybrid Jill and Ann! We've only just binge watched them. When Kevin has quoted Jill there's been a few slow turns to each other, especially when they described her as 'a man hating sociopath'. I just beg him not to leave me and make him a cup of tea.
My SIL is definitely an Amanda.
I hope it's commissioned for another series and we could meet Kevin's mum, if they're looking for inspiration I could introduce them to my MIL

So me and the school mums are obsessed with this. They think I'm a hybrid of 2 of them, and I think I'm Julia! I definitely have the house and husband.

Love love love it. The thing is we all know that there's enough material out there to keep this show going for decades. And it's all true.

I remember having to get into the pool at a swimming party. And doing the drinks at a PTFA do.

Julia is a user, I wouldn't want to be thought of as her

@Toomuchtooyoung01

My DD is starting school in September and what I want to know is if Motherland is realistic?!

Definitely. I sit with DH and we point out the characters at school.

@RoseBearx

Amanda is deffo a MN regular and loves posting in the threads about class. She made a thread when she was pregnant with Manus asking if she WBU to use the name.

Amanda is Le Queen (for any oldies).

@lifeissweet

Kevin would have been told to LTB years ago, but would still defend Jill.

I think he'd also be told to get a backbone and stop saying 'making love'

Kevin would be a feathery stroker.

Did anyone actually hear Mumsnet mentioned in one of the episodes in the first series I think? Just found this programme and I'm hooked! 😳

@OhHarry YES to feathery stroker! Is that a Marian Keyes term?

Meg def earns way more than £100k.

Anne would have a live labour thread. Julia would consistently (and accurately) be told she has a DH problem and to LTB. Amanda would post about how unreasonable the other mums are to be less perfect than her on AIBU, and then post about her narc Mum on the stately homes thread under a different name.

The episode/incident with that pun-thing, with the impression of Anne's dead father's face ...

... that was a Mumsnet thread about 10 years ago!!

Widely suspected to be a troll thread (& wasn't father but another family member).

But I recognised it from Mumsnet!!!!

Amanda would be asking for name suggestions for her new store

Julia would be asking if her nanny is BU . Obviously nobody would answer her question about the nanny and would instead (correctly) tell her to divorce her husband

Kevin would be a regular on Christmas bargains threads, but only at Christmas.
He wouldn't MN much throughout the year - he's too busy reading to the DC, baking, doing crafts, etc

Meg would be all over the ''Is a bottle of wine a week too much'' threads

Liz would post an obviously positive pregnancy test and ask if anyone can see a second line, and then give a detailed, graphic description of the one night stand she had with her waste of space loser EX or maybe it was the shepherd

Julia's mum would ask for advice about how she should say 'No' to her dd

@Mygardenisanightmare

Julia is a user, I wouldn't want to be thought of as her

Julia is a user.... but only because her husband is soooo useless and selfish. Of course the answer is she needs to talk to him...

I reckon it’s Anne with the penis beaker...

I thought it was just a Mumsnet term!

I thought Kevin's mum was dead - didn't he take Liz to visit her grave?

Yes was just about to post that Kevin's mum is dead. He fed some nuts to her grave on Mother's Day with Liz.

Mumsnet was mentioned in the episode when Amanda had opened her new shop and Julia said that as part of her PR initiative she'd got details of the shop onto Mumsnet.

I think Any Fucker might be Liz!

To be honest I've seen bits of Amanda already this term!!!!! Can't say what as outting!

Amanda is Le Queen (for any oldies).

Yes @OhHarry! I've been thinking the same thing

Amanda is Le Queen (for any oldies)

Liz is definitely BupcakesAndCunting. Her posts used to make me genuinely laugh out loud, as do many of Liz's lines, they are both very blunt and not afraid of causing offence.

Liz would relentlessly mock, until banned, all the 'can I go to the beach on my own', 'is this fresh pasta that I left out of the fridge for one night safe to eat' threads.

Could they afford the houses they live in?
