Competitive mums
Like a scab that can’t be left alone I follow someone on twitter that I shouldn’t. We are complete opposites but we are both mothers. She does nothing but boast about her child. To be fair she works hard to give him the best. He goes to a good nursery, has his name down for…

The Gallery:Â Motherhood
