Anything good for mums?

I just mean I’ve been watching a few shows lately that I love but involve no kids in it whatsoever. I feel like watching something which celebrates being a mum or is relatable and makes me feel less rubbish!

it doesn’t need to be baby focused at all, maybe just have characters in it who are mums and not able to do exciting stuff all of the time.

I liked motherland but not working moms, for example.

Have you seen the let down on Netflix? Though that is about parenthood.

OldWivesTale · 25/04/2022 17:33

Have you see Big Little Lies?

Let Down is excellent.

If you liked Motherland, try Mum on Prime Video - it’s light but profound, hilarious but achingly sad, really delightful.

OK just reread your post, maybe BLL isn't suitable. They all live in huge beach houses for a start so not very relatable 😁

If it’s a bit ridiculous I might like it. Where can you watch it?

I enjoyed Ginny & Georgia
Really enjoyed Little Fires Everywhere though it's quite dark

If you haven't seen motherland (hiding under a rock?) do so immediately! I also love outnumbered, it's quite old now but I find it has aged well.

Foodbanksshouldbeobsolete · 25/04/2022 18:05

Sorry just realised you already said motherland! Sorry

Foodbanksshouldbeobsolete · 25/04/2022 18:08

Have you seen the Bad Mom movies?
I also enjoyed Otherhood

Definitely Mum, not sure if it's on iplayer anymore but available on Amazon I think. Also Hullraisers on C4 is very funny in a Motherland way

feelinglowandblue · 25/04/2022 18:11

I think Outnumbered is the closest thing to motherland

Mol1628 · 25/04/2022 20:05

Ah yeah I love outnumbered.

also ‘ not going out ‘ they’re all on iPlayer.

Try bad moms, it's pretty funny. Gilmore girls for an old school classic. I second Ginny and Georgia, but I love Workin Moms so maybe we don't have the same taste.
