What the hell is wrong with her? If we are to believe this entire scenario, she then scuttles off to twitter to betray her son and embarrass him in the process. All to look like such a good mum. For keeping his secret.
I honestly hate this tweet so much. What a wonderful mother she is for letting her son have a moment of pride to himself. How dare he. And after he burnt a fancy tea towel too! What would his granddad think?! But no, lets applaud Jack for not being an attention seeking bastard and hurting her sons feelings.What the hell is wrong with her?

every single time she tries to tell a cute story about her son she comes across as the most horrific narc mother, itās so creepy and sad
Oh yes. And for those who have (luckily) never experienced depression, you'll also hear things like: she's got a lovely house and a good husband, no money worries - and she's just become a grandmother! So what on earth has 'she' got to be depressed about???All so well said but particularly this part.
Some people who are dissatisfied with their life but too lazy to help themselves will self-diagnose depression as the reason for their life.simply lacking a little bit of excitement in their lives.
Your mum is a totes ledgeI'd forgotten about that already. What an absolute quirky rollercoaster ride her life is.
Also, since I'm on a permanent grunk, so this is very late - I watched the Pointless episode with my 72yo mum, who has got very into Twitter since lockdown. It was a repeat and Mum said that she didn't know of Jack when the first episode was aired, but does now, so I softly and gently asked her what she thought of Jack. "Well, she's always going on about being poor, when she's obviously not, and her recipes look disgusting."
Ugh yes Orphy B and @SketchySome people who are dissatisfied with their life but too lazy to help themselves will self-diagnose depression as the reason for their life.
Jack needs to find her Eat, Pray, Love in life. She's not mentally ill, nor neuro-divergent. She's idle and self-entitled.
And a liar. Liar.
Oh yes my love, those of us who understand, *understand* ... in spades.Ugh yes Orphy B and @Sketchy
I have it made, I feel like the luckiest woman in the world, Iāve got great friends and family, a job I like, and I rent a flat with me and my cat. I donāt want for anything more, all I want is for my mind to be better again so I can actually appreciate and enjoy what I have. Depression doesnāt necessarily mean that your life is ābadā (of course for some people thatās part of it though).
@HotesTilaire I just want the tinned fish era back too , although was it @Onestorytoomany who really struggled with all the fish??
The thumbed chicken thing was also going into the slow cooker!Hold on a minute - wasn't dinner a slow cooker stifado? Was SB browning the beef and onions before he went to school, in which case why is she only telling the story of him almost hilariously setting fire to himself just now, when we know that she has to spew every single one of her tedious thoughts into the twitterverse as soon as they enter her head.
(Actually, I'm now imagining her lying in bed, calling instructions to SB to "get the tea on" which probably checks out.)
Aww - thank you - she is. Came from a genuine working class background (her dad was from Southwark and worked on the docks, then as a binman, her mum was a machinist, and she grew up on a council estate in a mining town in the Midlands.) Thanks to the Labour government she was able to get a job in the Civil Service straight from school. Dad (he's DEAD) came from a similarly poor family of subsistence farmers, but went to grammar school and became an architect. She's very comfortably off herself, but is totally aware of how much harder it is for the generations younger than her, and gets very angry about it.Your mum is a totes ledge
Such a loving kind and selfless mum to let a child take the glory from his Baby Jane mommy dearest mum.
And just backhandely tell everyone on the internet your SB is a liar instead hey?
The only reason she told the teatowel story is to pat herself on the back for not kicking off.
She would have done had OH / faux H not been there.
We've got a few canny parents and grandparents of canal members. They see Jack for what she is and they all deserve a golden pineapple containing bromelain which isn't denatured or maybe some lion bars sent in the post will do.Aww - thank you - she is.
