Jack Monroe #200 Yes you can freeze glass jars

Ugh. Those cards, and the cringey reviews I know what the not SG, who is a couple of months younger than SB, would say if I pulled those out at 6.30am!

Wonder what this 'work' is she's on about?

 

[Whaa?]

Aren’t they bloody awful.
A lot of things can instil confidence in kids, which don’t involve reciting cards with mama over breakfast.
When you’re about to start HIGH SCHOOL

And are they still havng the tea time conversation cards?

I wonder what SB's doing while his mum's 'working'.

Dino naps, rearranging furniture, twatting on twitter as one of her gazillion

The way Jack holds and uses the cooking utensils is so awkward. I thought the way she used a knife was bad enough, but she holds that spoon like it is a weapon. Jack is cack handed and it is uncomfortable to watch.

I always think Mom has her own personal way of using utensils too, of course impeccable M Berry also.
I've been around lots of folk who started cooking in various times, cultures and environments, who've gone on to prepare delicious amazing food in their own set ways that just wouldn't come naturally to my hands and would be awkward to me. From what tools they use to how they use them, to the order of how they get things done.
I think Jack's cack handedness is because the "food" is cack from brain to plate. And of course as has been said is just a deteriorated vehicle for their sneering ignorant self centered grudges and judgements.
And the discomfort in seeing Jack's methods for me is because all the equipment is just a prop to them, to accessorise (I'm blanking at the spelling of that but isn't here for me right now) the mendacious ego. Food and all it can be and do is by the by.

Sorry lads I went on holiday and was
BUSY and missed the fun.
What’s occurring?

Affirmation cards are a poorly-fitted band-aid in SB's case because his mother's issues will continue to blight his life.

duck me. I just change the crappy nappy ASAP and tell my reluxy baby to stop puking at the same time. I’m having visions of The Help, “You is smart, you is kind, you is important.”

I can’t imagine having a zen enough home that you can repeat life affirming affirmations to a child who is trying to claw their way away from you.

If these reviews are saying age appropriate for 19 months wtf is on the cards? Thank you for not kicking off in the car seat I honour the braveness in you

It's Jack's morning affirmations! Jack, staring at the mirror and repeating to herself: YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT BEYOND MEASURE!!

What I dislike most about these cards is their complete failure to acknowledge structural inequality. Fact is, we can't all do anything we put our minds to and they seem to place the responsibility for success/failure on the child's shoulders. Also, in the wrong hands, they are counter-therapeutic.

 

[Vanelope]

I’m so late I can’t even like or give hearts to you all but you have made me hoot! Have some Bublé

Can anyone explain to me why you would use 'confidence cards' meant for 2 year olds with your 12 year old?

Fear not dear heart! They're probably working those poorly fingers to the bone by sticking a whole collabs worth of Del Monte labels together with sticky back plastic to fashion some sort of wearable 'poverty skin'.
Think "Buffalo Bill" but less socially & morally aware

Tart doesn’t look cooked enough. Got a soggy bottom - which is why it collapsed when it was taken out.
All by myself…. Is she 5?

Jack does refer to him as 'the boy' now. Smol no more! Progress!

Still chooses to use toddler toys with him.....

Agreed, looks a lot like toxic positivity to me.
Pleased that Jack has beautifully designed, high quality glossy cards - one for every week of the year- to look at with the family, UNLIKE THE THRIFTY SHADE OF BEIGE PATREONS
