Gem just LOVES to be the martyr !! She somehow thinks that she is the only parent working full time. She forgets to mention that some of her 5am starts are for a 3hr commute to Manchester to fart about in a SPA trying out new Xmas products. I bet most people would gladly swap genuine stress for Gem's idea of stress. She seems to think that she needs to be this perfect, amazing, stepford wife. I suspect there is not much else going on in her life, other then a relentless quest to be seen as perfect. Mary Poppins syndrome. Like the cake she baked at Weekend, everything just has to be SOOOO extra. If we bake, we make Rice Krispie cakes or Brownies not some amazing Bake Off creation. I bet she's 'that' Mum at school who handmakes Christmas Cards & gifts for the teacher whilst the rest of us grab something from the Spar on the way to school !!
