title?As someone with BPDā¦ we do not claim her!
Narc rail This chore list reminds me of someone I know who has 4 kids. She has managed to allocate all the housework,cleaning etc so she can sit in her arse all day. She buys the cheapest food to feed them but ensures she gets the best. I'll never gorges going to s cafe, kids were ordered plates of chips while
When we moved to our new build many years ago, the show house was next door. I found out from the sales rep that my ginger cat used to go in and nap on the beds through the day when we were out at work. It was a Wimpey estate and at the time all their advertising blurb had a ginger cat on. I should have charged them performance fees!

The 'mama' thing, it's always come across to me like it isn't what he naturally calls her, but what she wants to be known as. Something about how she refers to herself as that a lot, writes it everywhere etc, just gives me that impression. Would not be surprised if she pushes that on him.I'm glad reading these posts a few of us parents are on a par with what we do and what the kids do, all have extra needs here.
Ref door handles, bizarre seeing it on a list, something I might do very infrequently, kids would never dream of it, although early days of covid when we were ill my eldest chose to swab the door handles and they did carry the bug
I really really hope sb is predominantly with his dad, sad for her mum if she can't see him as much as she'd like tho.
He looks so sweet. I really hope he isnt calling her mama anymore, it feels really sinister
@reCAPTCHA - another vote here for That Man, Cook With Jamie is a good one for a lot of the basics, also Ministry of Food.
I call my dad Papa (as in the Nicole! Papa! car adverts from the 80s) or Vater, because it's still as funny as it was when I started learning German.My son only calls me Mama, MaMaaaa, Mother if he's tapping me up for Ā£20 or wants me to do something like give him and his mates lifts/pick ups at 1am.
Late to this, but re the interesting discussion about what we want from Jack. What I most want is her to stop sharing her ill informed, downright unhelpful, self-centred, reductive opinions.
It's insulting to imply that food bank users can't cook. It's not helpful to suggest faffing around making soup from several tins of soup when you're skint. It's not helpful to dick around with maverick taste combinations when you don't want to waste anything and there's likely to be at least one member of the household who won't like it. It's really irresponsible to keep on bleating about being too scared to open brown envelopes and ignore debts, gambling on the luck to meet a new rich fiancƩ to sort out your money problems. And it's mostly really unhelpful to see someone making the same mistakes, still not learning anything after over a decade in the public eye.
Phew, I didn't mean to go on there...you get the picture.
I know it won't happen, but I would love Jack to own up to her mistakes and learn from them. Not holding my breath though. On that topic, of course I want her to carry on BREATHING and ideally, sort herself out.
+1. Absolutely no shade to Billericay but I canāt imagine there are many preteens calling their parents mama or papa unless they are shipped out of borough to a boarding school? My toddler laughs at one of her babies that goes āmamaā and sheās hardly from the Bronx?
This is how the āMamaā thing plays out in my head.
That list is horrific. She's a bleeping control freak, and that poor lad has no choice but to deal with her purely because she's one of his parents. I wouldn't be surprised if he cuts off all contact as soon as he's old enough.
No wonder she's incapable of maintaining a relationship with anyone.

My mum tried so hard to make a granddaughter call her all sorts of things - Mamgu, Meema Etc.. the grandaughter has started calling her Wendy and she wonāt stop. 
Mama annoys me because it puts Bohemian Rhapsody in my head and I could do without that.
Mamaaa,
Just killed a man,
Fed him pumble
Now he's dead

I know many disagree but I don't think kids should do anything if the mother doesn't work as jack doesn't. Let kids be kids. They have enough on with school and homework. My mum never worked but had me cooking full roast dinners for the whole family while she harangued an raged at a 10 yr old not doing it right. I didn't get anything from it except a feeling of never being able to relax in my own home. Some friends said I'd feel differently when I had my own - not the case, just reinforced how utterly wrong it was. She's a horror for that list. An sharing it as if expecting kudos is just bizarre.
The list is more showing off. The āyou pee on itā smacks of something she wrote purely for an audience.
On my graduation day,
the honorary doctorate was awarded to Baroness May Blood, and she got a standing ovation for her brilliant speech. She was a true working class hero who ended up in the House of Lords. She talked about her fellow peers talking about their country estates āso I just talked about my estate. On the Shankill Roadā. I just looked her up and sad to see that she has just recently died. Sheās worth a Google for anyone interested in what real working class women can achieve.
Random thought-
the chore list post, she says the small butterfly items are for no reward (as they are part of a āhealthy, functioning householdā then of course there are all the digs at SB for making mess, and the tweet moaning about āthis is a quarter of what I do every day as well as workā¦ā
Somebody gave her a telling off for the house being a tit tip, didnāt they?

And Nadiya does it without all that faff - āRoll out into a sausage shape and divide into 5 equal pieces. Divide each one into 5, so you have 25 little dough ballsā. Because sheās an actual professional.
Quoting myself (again, must subdue my massive ego) I just remembered the other thing about my graduation. I went to collect my gown and evidently anyone who knew anything was on a tea break. Wee fella asked me my height, I reply Five Seven. I get my gown and stupidly donāt try it on before I leave the basement location. I put it on outside. Frauen und Herren, it was so big I looked like Gandalf. I looked at the label. Wee fella had given me a gown that was 57ā from nape to hem. I had to get my degree whilst trying not to fall over. Ah, good times.On my graduation day,
Isnāt this just marriage?
Everytime I see Jack's comments about Mama, I can't help but think about the Genesis song, "Mama", which is about a bloke obsessed with a prostitute who is not interested in him. He has an Oedipal fixation on her and insists on calling her "Mama." Mama, MAMAAAAAAAAA Please....
