Go to any mother group

Working mums are best! No! Stay at home mums are best!

Breastfeeding is best! No bottle feeding is best!

Baby led weaning is best! No puree food is best!

It's literally everywhere and thoroughly exhausting

How completely irrelevant is this?
(As are the comments about witches/lesbians et al )

Wouldn’t last two seconds on Just a Minute - deviation!

👏

And repetition!

Why would anyone deliberately say ‘a phenomena’, especially a TA?

VioletSky

Lol I used the word I meant to use and you have wrongly corrected me

It's a pretty natural and observable phenomena

No it’s not.
Phenomena is * plural*
If you use “it’s a …” you have to use phenomenon

(Life gets tedious, don’t it?)

It sure does Foxy.

VioletSky

I don't know what to think

But I believe there is always a reason for all behaviour and I wouldn't cope in that scenario

Many of us wouldn't but we're not actors, used to the limelight. Cameras, flashing lights, speaking to the UN and other audiences is normal in some people's world.

Thank you. I now have that tune stuck in my head!

Here's an interesting little piece debunking some witchcraft myths:

www.english-heritage.org.uk/learn/histories/eight-witchcraft-myths/

Came upon it accidentally just now!

Thats interesting NotSpaghetti the illustration used is of the witches hung in 1650 in Newcastle when 14women and one man were hung for the crime of witchcraft or associated crimes. (One of them for having a witch-name!)
Some of what she says is questionable. Including the bit about there is no evidence that they were herbalists or midwives. Of course there isn't, history is written by men, who in the 15th and 16th centuries were busy making medicine a male profession.
And yes men were hung, but not in so many numbers.

Funny on these threads how when you raise a subject that makes people feel uncomfortable they immediately cry "deviation" or resort to criticising grammar.

VioletSky

Yeah yeah

It's *always" the DILs fault

It's literally everywhere and completely unmissable

I love my daughter in law. She’s a wonderful addition to our family, and most importantly, she makes my son very happy.

Me too Daddima, did make me laugh though.

When a subject's raised that has no relation to the discussion it is a deviation Glorianny.

This from the deviation expert!🤣🤣🤣

I thought that it was usually the fault of the mother in law

Oh Molly! I thought that was me

M.i.l., mother and/or GM FannyCornforth. Woe betide the poster who dares to complain about or criticise her d.i.l. or D.

It's a phenomena

Women get so much blame and shame, especially from other women

VS It isn’t!
Phenomena - plural
Phenomenon - singular

You don’t say ‘a phenomena’ (which you have literally just typed)
It’s grammatically incorrect

Are you having us on?

Don’t fret FannyCornforth if a person says black is white often enough they clearly think they can make it so.
And let’s not get anybody started on criterion -and criteria

It seems to be an example of posting to wind people up which VS said she did.

Women get so much blame and shame, especially from other women and so often on GN mother's, m'.i.l. and GM's.

I'm using it as plural

Because it's one of many

🙄 Doesn’t work like that. It’s one, as you said. A phenomenon, one of many phenomena.
