100%.
Don't tell that I need to spend one of my many free days reorganising my shoe cupboard because it's too full of freebies again. Or how to entertain my kids on one of many free luxury flights to Dubai.
Tell me how the
duck I get my kids to school on time with all their homework/spellings/reading books done, still manage to arrive at work on time so I can finish work with enough time to grab the weekly food shop on the way to collecting the kods from swimming/dance/god knows what else, and juggle the bedtime routine with my husband who also works late to pay our god damn mortgage without opening a bottle of wine on a Monday and without losing my mind. Asking for a friend
Exactly!
Teach me how to deal with teen bullying and low self esteem? Tell me how to manage a household on one part time furloughed income because my partners been made redundant during the pandemic? Give me a hack for finding childcare so I can return to my front line key worker role.
It'll be the usual rehashed hacks of putting all the bedding into the pillow case, buying 5 loads of uniform (because that's affordable for everyone) and sorting into a wardrobe divider and meal planning/prepping.
Not to mention the usual pretentious, pompous drivel about self care, written by someone with absolutely no real world commitments! Do we really need a woman who's husband is at home all day and who's job is to shop, put on make up and scroll Instagram to tell us how important it is to make time for us, to read a book, light a candle, put on a face mask? The arrogance of someone who's whole existence is one big act of self care telling women who are juggling work and families or single parents trying to make ends meet. It's like rich people telling those in poverty to just work a bit harder and they too can have a similar life.
I used to like Kate but between her recent online demeanour, supporting racist Meldrums and now this waste of paper and ink, she can eff right off!
