What a view of humanity - people stay with people who 'tick the boxes'. It's partly the fact that Mrs A is often completely unpredictable (whilst at other times being so set in her ways it's a family legend) that has kept us together these 45 years...

All depends on your particular boxes, I dare say. An adequate standard of leg depilation is highly unlikely to be one of my boxes, speaking personally.

'If the rescue centre finds out we have broken any terms of our contract (ie that we have a two-year-old), they have the right, with police force, to remove Juno and Albus from our care,' said Shona

So she admits lying to the rescue centre in a national newspaper. Next up: 'I miss my dogs so much after the rescue centre took them back'

It's an article of faith with many people that those in authority don't read newspapers.
Such as the man in my local rag years ago sadfacing because the theft of his record collection meant he could no longer work as a disc jockey. A source of income that he hadn't told the taxman about.

She actually has no qualms about sharing all her horrible little character flaws does she?

I’m ashamed to admit that, in our relationship, I’m the one who snoops. Luckily for Keith, he discovered this early on when he caught me — on our honeymoon — trawling through his mobile phone contacts to see if the names of any women I hadn’t heard of came up.

On your honeymoon? I'm surprised he didn't run for the hills instantly.

The problem with doing this is that when one name did — let’s call her Alice — I was consumed with burning indignation for the rest of the evening, trying to figure out just who the hell she was.

It ruined the evening (she’s Keith’s chiropodist, apparently)

Right....

I'm sure she's deliberately setting herself up as a pantomime villain. Nobody could be that annoying without trying.

Quote:

Now, it seems we shall never own another home again … Today we are living in rented accommodation …, we now find ourselves, in our early 40s, paying a private landlord £2,000 a month … In our defence, we weren’t spending the money on expensive designer clothes, luxurious holidays or flash cars. Much of it was going on school fees … With no savings and monthly outgoings that would make your eyes water, we [can't get a mortgage] — even if I shop in Aldi for ten years and buy our clothes from a charity shop.

Ad nauseam.

But her sense of entitlement reaches its zenith with this:

Quote:

And what I could never have known is how soul-destroying it is to raise children in a house that is not your own. Sometimes it feels like we are guests in the one place we should feel ourselves.

So far, 223 comments and not one of them sympathetic. Is this really the only way she can feed her children? Mail columnists are always concerned that boys in skirts or the children of lesbians will be bullied at school, but the rag is happy to publish the witterings of this dreadful woman without a thought for her brood.

The whole thing is blatantly engineered to make you rant about how your life is harder and stoke up some righteous-indignation. The kind that feels so good you'd shell out 55p a day for it.

Did the readership feel patronised by the article? No, they did as they always do. Took it at face value and went off on one about their persecuation being greatest.

Maybe she shouldn't have used her home as a cash machine then. But yeah Gourami, you're right, the whole thing is a dogwhistle to get the readers competing with each other with tales of middle class woe.

Great comment:

I fully expect that apart from having lost his house, and now living in rented accommodation, poor old Keith has had a great decade, just by not having been pounced on by Shona.

She's back. Apostrophe fail in the headline. Self-centred whinging ahoy.

Why I feel I'm a bad mother for taking my girls to The Hunger Games: It's the film every child wants to see - but it's violence left SHONA SIBARY'S daughters weeping and disturbed

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... urbed.html

So your 11-year-old daughter is sensitive and you're worried she is likely to be disturbed by this film. How about not taking her to see it? I know peer pressure is powerful but she will survive if she doesn't get to see it.
