Jack has an awful eye for photography, that pancake shot is shit. Seriously, I feel bad for that squigg.

I feel bad for the child. There's something really off about that tweet. Obligatory 'not a mum' but this just doesn't seem like something a kid would ask for? Maybe I'm reading too much into this but it seems kind of weird.

Come on now, wasn't it your dream to have a photo of your mum's chest area, braless with nip on show in a pyjama style t-shirt whilst pouring syrup all over you're freezing stack of pancakes and all over the floor.

Also I just thought of a caption for that pic, a stack and the rack.

I will let myself out.

Neither of mine would want this photo propped up next to them at the table. This is perhaps because I can deliver a stack of pancakes without getting syrup on the floor or taking anyone’s eye out with my braless attributes. Also, I have rather bored my whole family about her, so they’d refuse on those grounds.

I love that we‘re all more interested in that random pancake picture than Jack’s big comeback tweet.

Wait, I thought it's a squigg who has the photo framed?! Is it a sock account?

(yes yes dear fraus, I'm once again clueless lololol it don't take much!)

I don’t blame you, it’s a strange and confusing tweet and picture combination.
It’s a real squiggle though. Without wanting to add to the confusion, they didn’t actually mention a human child, just a “5 y/o“. So for all we know it could be one of the cactuses or rocks that’s the big pancake fan.

It's a genuine squig who has many other largely child-based (child status: confirmed) instances of things that definitely happened. Highlights include said child taking complete creative control over a whole stop-motion film and insisting on being given vegetables for dinner then giving a lecture on tomatoes after watching a Netflix programme. They have such enormous Jack On a Train energy but it's not a sock, rather gloves of a feather flocking etc.

This is -to me- the absolute pinnacle of that type of mother.

YES

it fucking pisses me off (pardon my french) that they’ve picked her for this when i doubt she even knows enough about anything in life to write about it in plain english. i know the energy company campaign is nothing to do with plain english, i suppose i’m just pointlessly posting to agree that she is the worst choice for this



had the best advert after i posted this - maybe it’s actually a magical forest (complete with brambly mice family) and not a puddle she’s been getting everything from all this time?

Also, kind of like ~this~ energy ...

(I know there were more from way back that were screenshot and posted - where she related particularly erudite snippets of SB’s philosophical thoughts that were all her - but I can’t find them )

Yikes, all in the name of crumb-dropping to the masses that she wasn't eating properly. I don't think my children would notice wether I had ever eaten or not and rightfully so, it should never be a child's concern and if it is...what have you been saying to them?

Just sliding in between the pancakes and Jack's nip to add Venice to the list of Not-a-Holidays:

In other words: I interrupted the holiday of a friend who’d said “wish you were here” and was too nice to tell me that it was a platitude, and not to book flights to join him on a whim. I talked shite about myself at him for two solid days while he paid for every meal.

With friends like Jack an enemy would feel like relief.

I think you're spot on there! Also being able to drop everything and go for a quick break because you feel yourself sliding into depression, if that isn't privilege I don't know what is. She probably put a massive Brenda Buzzkill on the poor dude.
