It’s been quite a weekend for me. For a change, this mum actually had a social life! Not one event, but two!
Friday night was a party to celebrate 0ur Good Ofsted report, and yesterday my good friend took me, along with two other mums, to go and see Bad Moms for my birthday treat!
Oh, what a fantastic film! It’s not often that a film resonates almost completely with me, but I spent the film either nodding in agreement, or pissing myself laughing at what was happening!
We have a working mum who is juggling a home, and family life, two children, a jerk of a husband, and a part-time job which has become very full time.
There is another mum, who has spent her mothering career as a single mum, and has embraced the ‘slutty mom’ tag she has been given.
The final mum in the main trio is a young downtrodden housewife with 4 kids under a certain age, with an overbearing husband.
Then you get the PTA mums – you know the kind, the ones that appear to be perfect at everything, the ones who influence the thinking of all the other mums. Woe betide you if you do not conform to their idea of perfect mothering!
Here you have Alpha mum, Total Suck Up mum, and Hanger On Mum.
I won’t tell you lots about the story, but suffice to say, all four of us enjoyed it immensely and came out of it feeling like great Bad Moms! It’s a total feel-good movie, but as a mum, you will relate to so much of it! (Hubbies and dads, might be worth watching…)
All I’ll say is ‘Get your tits up!’ (You’ll understand once you watch the film!!!)
Next stop… Brigitte Jones Baby!
But I Smile Anyway...
