You would have to have been under a rock have missed the last mummy blogger blow up.
Basically, blogger Notorious M.U.M, also known as Lisa called out Constance Hall. She wrote, “I’m all for cutting corners, but I don’t think it’s enough to simply pop a sprog out and then f*** off to the pub wearing a T-shirt that says ‘Mamma Bear’. You need to make a bit of a f***ing effort. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong.”
She also took aim at Constance’s ‘Queen’ movement; “I’m putting my hand up here and saying: I’m not a queen. A queen mother, maybe, but not a queen.”
Blogger, Lisa Shearon is The Notorious Mum.
Soon the media got wind of this and turned it into a battle of epic proportions with both openly addressing the matter publicly.

FINALLY!! Someone who expresses my view. We preach the need for tolerance when it comes to relationships, religion, nationality, gender and sexual orientation (to name a few) but when do we apply it to ourselves as Mothers?
Forget the bloody Mum slogans,
"We Just All Doing Our Best. Respect. Mum Out. Mike Drop"
I'm a new mum and I must say, all this mummy wars stuff doesn't really exist except online (which you can easily avoid if you want to). I really think it's just a media beat up.
In real life I have been shown nothing but understanding and kindness from friends, family, workmates, acquaintances and most strangers. We are all doing things differently, but everyone is super supportive and not judgemental at all. The only judgment I have received was from older generations who appeared to have forgotten that kids make noise in public!
Having said that, if you are the kind of person who can't have a conversation about different parenting methods without feeling 'judged' then maybe you will have a problem?
I agree, all the mums I've met in real life (including my mothers group) have only ever been helpful and understanding. Going through it together only makes you more empathetic than anything. But the number of articles in the media about these so-called 'mummy wars'...!! Yes there are mummy keyboard warriors just like in any other social demographic, but the amount of negative attention it draws is so disproportionate to the overwhelming positive support mums receive from each other with zero media coverage.
