I'm not buying Clover's "statement" I think that was 100% aimed at ED's piece. Too much of a coincidence otherwise.

That said, both of them make me so relieved that I am content about being child-free 😅

I agree. Nice touch how she managed to crowbar in ‘I had the kids on my own’ so clearly had no time for whinging unlike poor childless ED.

Honestly, they all want women to not be reduced to ‘female writers’ and then Mothers’ Day comes along and we have THIS complete shitshow?!?!

Yeah the child comment was what gave it away.

I think everyone should just not be braggy on social media and it would all be fine. Personally don’t get why people post publicly on those days and never have. Nothing to do with no offending anyone, just wtf is the point? Tell your 76year old mum you love her to her face rather than posting it on a platform she doesn’t use. It’s all lifestyle envy BS but this drama is interesting😬.

I feel like there are so many chips on shoulders. The kid comment screams of ‘look, I’m too busy with my important mum life to bother with your front page profile piece where you look amazing if slightly corporate.’ It reminds me of that episode of Sex and the City where Carrie’s shoes get taken from the mums house and she wants them replaced but the mum dismisses it as a trivial thing that she has mo time to consider.

That's an excellent SATC episode, it covers a lot of ground in that simple shoe example.

I picked up Really Good, Actually in Waterstones earlier (it's the debut novel from a writer on Schitt's Creek) and saw that blurb testimonials had been given by Pandora, Elizabeth Day and Marian Keyes. Back on the shelf it went!

Yeah, Monica Heisey is one of their crew despite not being technically a UK LL. Dolly referenced her quite a bit on The High Low as their friend if I recall, and particularly on Sentimental in the City Dolly and Caroline talked about comments/observations she had made in a Whatsapp group.
