Apart from the massive safeguarding issues, which other Fraus have covered better than I could, what she does on Twitter is not actually WORK. She’s indoctrinating the kid into a completely false idea of what fulfilling, rewarding work actually is.

She’s also teaching him a dangerously false and simplistic view of the world, in which government ministers are literal monsters, people routinely starve to death in their homes and any squig on Twitter who asks any questions is the fash.

Jack, if you wanna teach your kid about the value of work and the satisfactions of earning your own coin, take him to an animal sanctuary as a volunteer for the morning or even take him with you at your weekly food bank volunteering. Don’t teach him to be exactly like you. Please.

Anyway why am I worked up it’s not true, it’s a cynical ploy to put a stop to any questioning or criticism from squigs on Twitter.
 
Jack's work ethic, a graphic definition:

There are tweets throughout last night.

Lots of them are replies.

a) It will take me a while.

b) I don’t want to think what her tweeting all this time could suggest.

c) I also don’t want to think what SB having access to her Twitter could result in. SM was generally the root cause of the most serious issues at school (either between students or ones that involved the DSL). She obviously has no idea about what goes on at his school to even suggest this as a way to get at us. She’s vile.

d) Tunnel dog was quite ill a while ago and the princess got chicken, rice, sweet potato and pumpkin for over a week. At no point did I want to eat her food. It didn’t have any flavouring and was designed for her. Boundaries Jack. Between dog and you, between SB and you. They keep relationships healthy.
 
Abytime I get chatting with friends about parenting we are discussing how to keep our children OFF social media, not rushing to introduce them to it. Twitter is polarised, arguementative, unsafe, filled with porn and violence.

Had to duck out during the poetry bollocks but I assume she has been hinting at strictly again with more very important meetings.

If I met with a potential employee or work colleague and they immediately started tweeting about it, it would kill the deal stone dead as it would call into question their professionalism and discretion .
 
“The madman on the bus”.

Nice. Really, really nice.

Smashing stigma and stereotypes out of the park are we Jack? Last night you were talking about cat biscuits as though they were drugs and this morning you are cashing in on the age-old stereotype of mentally ill people.

It tugs at the thought that you have never been mentally ill , you have never struggled with addiction and you look down on those who have.
 
Her book is going to print next week and she's rewriting bits of it now? When are those rewrites going to be fact checked, proofread and typeset?

I genuinely have no idea why anyone is still working with her. Genuine mystery of our time.

Also, those screenshots of her edits are very telling. I suppose all the ones where the method or whole recipe is missing could never get tested or checked at draft 1 stage, when you'd surely want to do so.

Her recipes don’t work anyway so I suspect no one checked them anyway.

Thifty kitchen for anyone who is intetested.

Agree with everyone who says the SB monitoring Twitter is fantasy and won't happen. However, it's spectacularly irresponsible to even suggest this.

Get SB to do gardening, the shopping or some other work around the house for extra pocket money. I have an actual teen and we've agreed certain jobs for him to do for payment. Keeps him in a bit of a routine and means he has enough money to get food out with his mates or go to the cinema. And actually helps me out, because like most people, I don't get the whole summer off. Win-win for all, and no one feels the need to call CPS on me.

I see Thrifty Kitchen is all up in her niche.

what’s the betting that once this book comes out (with loose commas around ‘book’) she’ll launch a flying monkeys strike on them to change their name.

That thrifty kitchen thing looks good though. Actually doing something meaningful.

Unlike Jack.

Not sure about having a book named after a scheme? Is that allowed trademark peeps?
 
Her self-deprication over her cookery writing ('yikes' to the chicken pie....babe, same) also isn't as cute as she thinks it is. It looks unprofessional and also weird AF to then also admit you don't ever edit your political word salads.

This is the thing you chose as your 'career'. Writing up the recipe should be fairly core to your activities. Instead she acts like a petulant teenager that is made to do home work ("Woe is me, I have to do the work that I keep saying I am so passionate about") and then jokes around in class about being bad at it all ("look at me being shite, hahahaha").
 
Wow. Just wow.

At this point, I’m hoping she has relapsed. Calm down Jack, before you run bleating to Twitter that someone in AA said they hoped you’d relapsed…the tweets about pet food were bad enough but whether she’s lying or joking or not, the stuff about SB being her employee and his job being to monitor her Twitter account is all kinds of wrong. If she made those decisions in stone cold sobriety, then something is clearly wrong. She needs help pretty urgently.

Jack, you and J will never be Jamie and Buddy Oliver. Any right-minded responsible person will look at that ‘working relationship’ as irresponsible, abhorrent and very worrying. But I’m wondering if she thinks him being involved will advance her career (whatever that is). Maybe she’s going to make him stand as Youth MP and this is training? She definitely fancies herself as a political commentator.

Who bleeping knows at this stage but she’s sickened me.
