  • Don’t Go On Holiday If You Don’t Look Good

    Charmaine Steady has received death threats after her controversial and damn right rude post on Facebook, she has since deleted her account.

    Steady wrote “Please for the love of all things beautiful think before you go on holiday, don’t go if you don’t look good.

    We all enjoy going somewhere hot and sunny and spending our time frolicking in the pool or relaxing in the sun lounger and taking in the beautiful scenery of another country.

    Now while we love seeing the sights what I don’t appreciate is seeing fat thighs, bulging stomachs, hair sticking out of the side of bikinis or full on hairy badger armpits.

    That’s just the bleeding woman, men shave your down stairs, put bloody swimming shorts and bin the tight speedos, no one wants to see the shape of your shrivelled cock and saggy balls.

    We are all on holiday to enjoy ourselves, we plan for it, we prepare ourselves, I actually diet for months before I go, I work out, I tan, I have a full body wax, I’m not saying you can stop being a beached whale well you could if you really wanted to but you can buy swim wear that covers a lot of it, it’s really not that pricey, razors cost as little as a quid, but don’t ruin my special vacation by me having to see the ugly sights, taking photographs and having the permanent reminder of how little you care about your appearance .

    Being in holiday is meant to be enjoyable for all, don’t let your standards slip just because you’re in a foreign country”.

    Do you think people should make more of an effort on their appreance before a big holiday? Does it really matter how others dress or look? What are your thoughts on Charmaine Steady post?

  • Your Child Having A Nut Allergy Isn’t My Problem

    Your child having a nut allergy isn’t my problem.

    My son is seven years old and loves school, he is a very energetic happy lad but my son hates lunch time, all that Joseph likes is peanut butter sandwiches but one kid out of 300 students has a nut allergy.

    The school has made a no nut policy where no one is allowed to have any nut products in school.

    Ok great so one kid is allergic to nuts so now my son has to go without lunch, he won’t eat school dinners and only likes peanut butter in his sandwiches, he comes home from school and is starving, my poor boy is getting pains in his stomach because he is so hungry.

    I pack him a ham sandwich in the hope that he may eat it, all he eats the whole time he’s at school is a piece of fruit and a yogurt asnything else that he likes has traces of nuts in it.

    If my son was allergic to the sun they wouldn’t ban daytime now would they.

    Why not make this kid eat in another room or go home for lunch, it’s beyond a joke that one kid can rule over the school.

    I mean seriously if we didn’t wrap our kids up in cotton wool half these kids with allergies wouldn’t have got them in the first place.

    When I was growing up no one had allergies as our mums ate what they wanted when they were pregnant, we didn’t anti bac everything and let kids get dirty and eat what they wanted and if a child had an issue it was their problem not the whole school or community.

    If your kid has a nut allergy it really isn’t my problem nor my sons we shouldn’t have to make changes for one person.

     

     

  • Mum Sets Up a Justgiving Page For Sons Birthday

    A mum has set up a justgiving  page to get parents to ‘contribute’ money for her son’s 10th birthday instead of giving him the traditional presents.

    Paramita Sarkar says her son Adi always gets far to many presents from friends when he has his parties that they are pointless and not played with .

    So, before his tenth birthday next month, she’s set up a JustGiving page and is planning on asking parents and friends to donate cash instead – ‘to get something useful that would be treasured’.

    With a suggested donation of £15 per child, from around 20 children he is thinking of inviting to his party, Adi, from Bramhall, would have a huge £300 to splash out on what he really wants.

    Paramita, who’s taking her son to Disney World in Florida next week as his present from his mum and dad Indranil, said: “There is no party without presents but afterwards we are left with boxes of Lego every year which stop getting played with.

    “They get piled up in boxes and we run out of space to store all the board games – sometimes duplicate ones.

    “So I have set up this JustGiving page where I would request mums to contribute – not donate – instead of buying presents.

    “I can then buy something that my boy would actually appreciate and treasure over a long period of time. This is simply to reduce the clutter and buy something really useful.”

    The mum is trying to gauge people’s reactions as to whether her site is an ‘acceptable’ idea, or whether she’d be judged or have negative comments by other parents.

    She said: “Friends have said it’s a good idea so I set up the link, but I’m apprehensive about circulating it at school as I don’t want to feel judged.

    “I’m hoping they’ll be positive when they see it and take it up.

    “If everybody contributed say £15 a time, there’ll be 20 people and Adi can actually buy something really nice.”

    The 39-year-old says Adi, who’s in Year 5 at Cheadle Hulme School, will not be upset that his school mates  arrive at his party without gifts.

    She added: “I have explained to him and he is cool with the idea and also keeps asking how much collections have been made.”

    Paramita says there is no specific target for the crowdfunding, but she set ‘a humble one’ at £50.

    She’s already exceeded the amount after money donations from some close friends and family who attended a small party for Adi when they went to watch the Chinese circus at Tatton Park earlier this month.

  • Mums Anger At School Book 

    Are people reading more into things than necessary now days? Do people really get so offended and upset by the little things in life? 

    One woman took to Twitter to display her utter disgust at her 4 year old daughters school reading book.


    A nice innocent reading book? But wait til you see what is causing the issue! 


    What do you see? What do the building blocks spell out to you?

    When I first looked all I saw was “Tits” but this Twitter user was outraged that it is “taking the piss” out of those with hepatitis and has asked for the book to be removed from schools.

    Do you think this was done to intentionally offend, a coincidence or just one woman picking fault in a innocent children’s book?

  • Woman Shocked People By Breastfeeding 

    A woman was seen in broad daylight casually breastfeeding her infant son in public, which didn’t seem overly strange to passersbys until they got a closer look at what else was happening  at that moment. A group of people couldn’t believe their eyes as they watched from a distance and didn’t do a thing about it.

    While breastfeeding openly like this woman was doing has been a point of controversy for many opinionated people, that part wasn’t the shock in this circumstance. Witnesses were stunned that she not only had her baby son with her but decided to feed him in the middle of what else was going on.

    The unidentified mother in Brazil was involved in a motorcycle accident where the bike was crushed beneath a car. The woman was badly injured and her son seemed terrified, but he was in otherwise in good condition, unlike her. As she sat on the side of the road surrounded by her own blood and the wreckage, she put her child’s needs before her own. Her leg was mangled and her foot was broken and facing the wrong direction, all while she kept her son’s attention away from the horror and breastfed him.

  • She’s Too Fat To Be MY Bridesmaid

    Do you remember the worst post Mums advice has ever received?

    One member messaged in asking how she could tell her “fat” best friend that she didn’t want her to be bridesmaid at her wedding, she was worried that in photographs people’s eyes would be drawn to the larger lady and she would struggle to stand for long periods of time due to her huge thighs.

    After hundreds of replies from Mums advice members she still didn’t see reason and continued to argue her case.

    Roll on 6 months later, she messaged in again to say she had a fantastic wedding and all her bridesmaids were between a size 6 and 8 and her fat friend wasn’t aware she wasn’t made bridesmaid because of her weight.

    But wait it gets better!!!!

    The so called “fat” friend messaged in…needless to say they are no longer friends and even commented saying, “I maybe larger than you but at least I don’t have an ugly soul, oh and your husband is cheating on you with his size 14 work colleague.

    Do you remember this post?

    What would your advice have been?
