Controversial mum Katie Hopkins has been at it again.
Hopkins is a very outspoken Yahoo! blogger and she recently took to her
column to express her views on what she calls the “five types” of mums.
These include fat mums, home schooling mums, dad-mums, eco mums and PTA
mums.
She even offered up advice on what you should do if you come across
these particular mothers. For example, she advises you to avoid the PTA
mum “at all costs”, and to “pity” the kids of eco mums.
Not surprising, the outspoken mother-of-two hit a nerve with many
parents around the country. However, while most took to Twitter and
Facebook to voice their anger, Karen Bower sat down and wrote an open
letter to the former Apprentice star on her blog, Railman.blog.co.uk.
Bower, who is chair of a school’s PTA and also home schools her kids,
wrote: “This isn’t about you. This is to every single mum and Dad who
got up this morning determined to do the best for their child. Even when
breakfast was supposed to be banana museli but ended up being chocolate
pancake. Even when the school run degenerated into a series of rants
about lost ties and shoes and unbrushed teeth. Even when homeschool
started with a game of minecraft.”
She added: “Life isn’t about living in a box.”
