I can really imagine Jack as a Jill Tyrell type character.

Yo, Jack Tyrell
You naughty little scurrile
You remind me a bit of my auntie Nigella
I think your petty and I don’t want your tweeties
My hearts full of doom and you make me tattle

Got to post again...just to say...this is genius! I have been jackfluenced.

I had never thought to gently scoop off the potato to decant a shop bought fish pie into a ceramic pot then slide said potato back on and bake. I am so doing this, I reckon if I buy a Waitrose packet then I can pass as an able cook! Thanks Jackie, about to ring the folks and invite them for dinner on Friday...knowing after a hard days work I will look like a hero with my homemade fish pie!

Just don't serve it up to a Tattler, as they will know. We always know...

I do say it to my kid in a joking way, as I never seem to stop replacing outgrown things. I don't think Jack is though, given she's no sense of humour. Kids grow, shock horror (and mine is a few months younger than SB, but taller than Mackie already)

The food looked grim, no wonder the lad wanted bread and butter too, at least that tastes good! So long as they're not just stuffing their faces with sweets and crisps, kids are pretty good at regulating their appetite, and will eat accordingly.

I mean, to be fair, Young's are doubtless extremely relieved not to have been credited, given that she's somehow managed to f*ck up even heating up a ready meal and given it that grey tinge.

Also, that isn't near enough for tea for a 'growing boy'. No wonder he asks for more, he must be fucking starving.

my child is just a smidge younger than hers and wouldn’t eat a portion that big at all. my teenager also would find that an ok size dinner, both growing perfectly fine. (Obviously Jack stated her kid did want more but there is a lot of generalisations on this thread about starving kids, not just from this post but this was the last one I read, not picking on you moobelle!)

Why is she downplaying it and just calling it an unhealthy relationship with alcohol now? I thought she was a severe alcoholic dependant on 200 units a week?

Emmapism

Either she's taken on board criticisms on here about how she speaks to people......or someone else has had a word. We're just bullying ninnies so I'm sure it's nothing to do with us.

It’s very strange to see her respond to others with empathy and not just, “Same.” I feel like I’ve entered the Twilight Zone.

One thing we know is that this isn’t real or genuine and it won’t last. It’s like she literally has no identity and beneath the exterior she is just a black void feeding off the energy of attention and pity and adoration from people. She makes me feel so creeped out because it’s all so false and soulless!

Fair doos.
Kids are all different. Jack however should know her own child's appetite. She only ever talks about feeding her child as a chore. I've never seen a food/kid post that doesn't talk about him BEGGING for more. Even if he did only want a small portion, the food served up never looks like it was made with love.
Even a frozen fish pie could be made with love.
And why oh why does she have to photograph her child's dinner?!!! Other than to prove she's feeding him?

Imagine if you were a new follower with this sickly-sweet Sylvanian Family #Momofteenboy, then finding out she (amongst many, many other things, but just off the top of my head:

- kicked strangers on trains
- punched her brother at a wedding
- literally can't say anything without it being a lie
- ignored vets' pleas to put down a suffering kitten so she could parade it on Twitter
- organises pile-ons
- didn't get a job she wasn't even qualified for so scweemed and scweemed and scweemed so her contact/s got her a presenting slot where she was
- absolutely shite

Can you imagine the absolute MESS her own dinner must have been for her to go to this trouble to reframe a ready meal as her own in order to post some food content?

No need to take the potatoes off if you do it when it's still frozen, it will come out as one solid lump which you can then out in your nice dish, as it thaws it will take on the shape of the new dish
