Mmmmm.

You know what? I didn't find it that funny. It's lazy, perpetuates stereotypes and is part of a popular strand o journalism that encourages divisions, particularly amongst women.


The majority of mums I meet out and about are a fantastic warm bunch and don't fit those categories.


I've just finished reading The Hive which worked on a similar premise but actually explored those stereotypes with a tad more insight and nuance than I'm afraid that article did.


I'm sure others may chuckle.

I agree with Bellenden Belle, it certainly didn't make me chuckle.


Did anyone read the comments at the end of the article? This was my favourite one:


Wonder which group I'm in, I used to turn up, watch the girls go inside safely then go home to start preparing a meal as the wife went to work while waiting my turn on nightshift, I don't do small talk at the school gates, I don't scream F's at the kids and I certainly never had the time on my hands to hang around school playgrounds evaluating other breeds around me, occasionally speaking the "hello" word to acquaintances.


Oh I see where you're coming from, you're that aloof prick with ample time on their hands who can waste it hanging around schoolyards before sauntering down to the local deli for an expresso, a read of the guardian and a croissant before hitting the typewriter keys to drivel on about the latest hot release from MGM, another F U C K I N G non-jobber the world could well do without.

    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
    • This drives me absolutely mad. Why is all the food they sell there so effing noisy? Popcorn, nuts, crisps. Why can't they just sell stuff like rolls and ice cream? Is it because those are harder to store and more perishable? It's so inconsiderate to other people, like having your mobile on loudspeaker on public transport.
    • This seems to be the end of the road for now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c36594lr29ko.amp
    • S24? I just googled Royal Mail complaints and it went straight to this page. If you phone Royal Mail you can also make a complaint, though it takes forever to go through all the options and then to speak to someone. It's probably a lot quicker to do it online. Not that you will actually get anywhere in this case. You are probably marginally better off contacting your MP, not that they will probably get anywhere either.
