She gets so passive aggressive over being called out. It's really pathetic. If she took it on the chin, put her hands up and admitted some of her lies, she wouldn't be in the shitshow of her own creation now. Attention be attention tho!

Been thinking about Jack’s inability to deal with knowing that people are talking about (not to) her in various corners of the internet.

Not to triangulate myself as I’m basically faceless, but do a job that people talk about on forums and social media a lot. Sometimes they’ll tag me directly into criticism (and other slightly mad things). I think it’s natural to want to bite back BUT you just don’t. Because you know it’s unprofessional, and inappropriate. So Instead I mute and laugh at the thought of people shouting at me on Twitter. I wouldn’t go looking on forums for criticism the way Jack does here, because it’s an act of self harm. But she literally can’t help herself, and it’s that behaviour, their OWN behaviour, which has the biggest impact. Because people see how unprofessional she is. Then plays the victim. It’s all self inflicted and self perpetuating.

What a shame she didn't have a wife to look after the kids, as it should be.

The mute function on Twitter is a glorious thing indeed.

Not any more. It doesn't have coal tar in it.

If she wants to target my particular area of expertise, she's welcome to try. But it won't be pretty.

She talks absolute shite.

So she was too ashamed to tell her parents that she was struggling and going hungry but not too embarrassed to set up a public Facebook event to sell all her worldly goods to raise funds and invite all her friends and family to?

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

Exactly what planet is jack living on?
I think she envisages herself as a kind of kirstie allsopp with street cred?
Except instead of crafting she has frugal living?
Just give it up jack?
No one is (or will be) buying it?

Sorry to quote myself but I don't understand this at all. Why couldn't she have gone to her father-in-law (ETA by which I mean her son's grandpa, not actual F-i-L) for a job? She says she was applying for coffee shop work and all that, so why didn't she get one from someone she'd worked with before when it was there for the taking?

What the fuck? The clear implication here is that if you're not looking after your "black baby" (WHAT THE FUCK??) and blond 9 year old for someone else - if they are, indeed, both yours - then you are in fact a "slut"??
Indeed. It seems like she was trying to make a big point about mythical right-wing strangers persecuting her, but she's ended up calling women with different fathers of their children sluts. And being racist in the process.

None of this happened. Batshit as she is, I doubt her parents trusted her to babysit much. No mythical judgmental strangers - who would definitely not think an adult saying "I'm a virgin actually" is a good comeback. Plus imagine saying that in front of children.

Yet again she's wrongly calling herself a foster carer, and implying that the children are awful saying her parents need 5 minutes peace.

You can't have any amount, so there would be enough to affect her meds.
I wouldn’t put it past her to still drink it though. She absolutely shouldn’t, but she easily could. Unless they read her Twitter, it’s unlikely to be something she’d even be particularly asked about by GP/speed dial therapists etc.

ETA: I mean that she might not be lying, just being reckless. Both are equally plausible for me when it comes to her

Well a lot of excellent work by the canal of bullying ninnies today in collecting receipts and sorting them out.
Can’t believe how many people have judgementally told her she should keep her legs shut. Perhaps she tried to bake them all cakes?

It's really quite the projection on her part, and tells us more about her attitude to single mothers than it does about anyone else's.

I’m still livid about that poor kitten. People who use animals like that for attention are disgusting.

Vonny did the same thing with a kitten last year, and she's got a history of using her cat for litters and likes. I haven't posted my screenshots on that thread yet simply because it's so *dark*.

Let's not forget this gem from Potatoes:

My brother was in the RAF last time we spoke, a couple of Christmases ago, when he described Iain Duncan Smith as the best thing to happen to this country and told me I had chosen to have a baby outside of marriage so deserved everything I got. It’s fair to describe us as ‘estranged’ these days.

She's a magnet for them!
