So she’s moving away from the ‘single mum was made redundant’ line then? That’s what I always believed to be true based on her SM presence before I joined the ‘trolls’ - she makes me feel crazy and question what I have actually read with my own eyes.
Yes, she said that she got calls from the nursery saying that no one collected him, that she was 30 miles away...Sorry am I reading that right, people forgot to pick the baby up from nursery......
Pst - none of the above happened
I bet they were five minutes late for pick up one day.Sorry am I reading that right, people forgot to pick the baby up from nursery......
Yes, but my point is the term wealthy conjures up a certain image, and a it’s not a bog standard middle class family with two working parents, children in state schools, camping holidays and a generic family car. That’s why she’s being disingenuous, she can’t deny her family were comfortable and could have helped her, but she uses the word wealthy as a deflection because she can deny they were wealthy.Definitely subjective, because being 'comfortable' is something people with money always say& something the poor simply want to be.
It is really hard with two working parents and nursery pick ups, especially if you both have jobs that you can’t just walk out of. Nursery fine you if you are late (and it’s not fair on the staff). I’m sure she did get a call about being late to pick up SB. New parents often struggle, but bonkers that she didn’t ask her family for support. My mum and mother in law both worked still when my kids were small but would have helped in an emergency. We also didn’t choose to live 30 miles away from work.
But how can this be similar to making a white sauce when no horse appears to have ejaculated ?
Schrodinger's monarchist"I'm no monarchist but I wouldn't be without them".
It's one or the other, hun!
She is such a monarchistJust because you preface something with "I'm not a" doesn't make it true. Between the jumper, her bday shoutouts, family history of armed forces involvement, and daddy's MBE...
I do get your point. But that family set up can seem wealthy to those on the opposite end. I remember my sisters friends when we were teens, middle class, 3 story house in west london,both parents working full time, standard car and holidays.. i always viewed them as being rich. I still think of them that way, tbh lol. They would argue they are comfortable. I think its down to class; middle class and up means money (to me). Excess or 'comfortable'. Again - it is definitely subjective.
I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of Jack quotes again, some of them beggar belief .

That's included in the interview. Jack says that she had her parents, two friends and Johnny's father doing the pickups but they forgot!
How she got to work is beyond me, Essex Fire & Rescue Service isn't easy to get to, it's just off the A12 in Witham.
surely a lift from daddy - every day was bring your daughter to work day!
I think BBCs Morning Live could be trolling us (or our Jackie?) this morning- an item about adults being diagnosed with ADHD, followed by an item on food tins being eaten way past their best before date. WHY didn’t they ask her to contribute (howl, claw)?!?!?!
Jokes aside, the item about ADHD is really interesting. Personally I think she does live with it, but uses it as an excuse for the constant chaoses.

And now I am actually dead.

I think it’s more like when you get a new line manager and after a couple of days you know they have no idea of what they’re doing. But, they keep on getting promoted and you don’t know why.Then you realise it’s cos no one wants to work with them and tells everyone up the ladder that they are brilliant at the job just to get rid of them . No one addresses the problem cos of the shitstorm that would follow.
I need to catch up, sure it's being discussed, but this whole "I ended up.in A&E, I didn't quit for a cushy dole life" load of bollocks...
Is it in direct response to some of the info here? Was it EssexGirl that let us know that jack threatened to walk out hoping Fire Service would change to what Jack wanted and they didn't change, just accepted jacks resignation?
I smell a huge a pile of bullshit and I ain't no farmer...

I understand what you’re saying, I knew people growing up who were probably only a rung or two up the class ladder from me but because they had villa holidays in Spain rather than camping holidays in France so I saw them as being wealthy (I’m from Kent, the ferry to France was cheaper and easier than the drive Cornwall or Wales, in fact at one point we used to do our weekly shop in France because during the winter months the ferry fee for locals was almost nothing and in those days the pound was strong against the franc so it worked out cheaper than Tesco’s). However now if I read a family described as wealthy in an article I’d picture something like the Middletons, and I feel that’s what Jack means when she says her family weren’t wealthy.
So she learnt to cook at school. She never learnt to cookI’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of Jack quotes again, some of them beggar belief
Yup. Was coming here to say this. Recent crisis had me asking for serious help and I was actually told that my presentation is too good to get me the help I desperately need. I tried to explain that I'm desperately trying to keep it together and was told it doesn't work in my favour but 'well done'.
You couldn’t make it up .... actually ....Jack canSo she learnt to cook at school. She never learnt to cook
.I think the quote of wearing DM’s then saying she’s not vegan , she’s vague-an sums her right up
.I hope you got that help and are on the up and up now.
I think some people use their outward appearance as a form of armour against the world. You can be falling apart inside and just want to curl into a ball and cry, but there's a pressure to put on a front and smile and carry on.
It's hard. Someone using make up to mask emotional trauma is nothing unusual sadly.
