kinda...

You have a stay at home Mum and then you've got a Mum who goes out to work.

I'd like my mum to be a full time mum and go out to work then you get a nice work ethic.

A full time mum is a term used for a woman who has kids but doesn't go out to work, isn't it? What do they do all day when the kids go to school though? There's only so many household chores you can do surely?

I dislike the term "full time Mum" especially when used on Facebook as an occupation. To me it implies that Mums who work outside the home are part time Mums. And that's definitely not the case.

Yes, I agree with you.

ETA: I was thinking, if Nicola is still this clingy with her kids - who must be somewhat older now as she was on the show a few years ago, then perhaps she needs time away from them as she seems rather stifling to me! She obviously loves them though - as most mothers do - but if they are her world then perhaps she needs to expand that world just a tad!

Doesn't Nicola go out to work Or does she not consider photo shoots and ghost written articles and appearing in reality TV actual work

Nicola's high maintenance. I wonder how much time she spends on her image versus time with her kids. Surely she has been apart from them for more than a day? I'm a bit sceptical

Can't stand it either. I don't cease to be a mum when I'm working.

Her desperate need to be in the public eye seems to overpower her need to see her children on a daily basis.

Funny that.

you can't be a "full time" mum if you're a "celebrity" (using that term very loosely obviously)

I never take 'Celebrities' who say 'I'm a fulltime Mom' seriously when they walking around in full hair and makeup everyday.

My best friend had a baby last year and this girl rolls around town without her wig on sometimes because it gets that busy. Wigless and makeupless in Tesco in sweatpants.

Jessica on Rylan's show was hilarious, saying after 24 hours she was still enjoying the break from her three little girls.

It's our uniform. I didn't do the wigs but chose the pony tail and leggings option. Sweat pants is the Dress uniform.

I know I get a bad dose of the guilts if I go for a bath - or take time to style my hair. Usually I do my make-up in the car on the way to wherever I'm going! And my youngest is 9!

I agree completely that such a level of 'maintenance' takes quite a bit of time.

Oh - here's one rule I do have. NO leggings. NO sweats. It's as easy to put on a pair of jeans and a top as it is a tracksuit. They're for exercising.

It was the same with that guy who won BB last summer and his dog.

I wear jeans too, but leggings/footless tights are my go to most of the time. Finished off by my fitflop flip flops/shoes/boots dependent on the season. I used to run around town all day and all night in 4 inch heels once, just thinking about it makes me wince!
