LOL, I might envy the person who just won the Euromillions (and not even secretly), but no, I don't envy people who have manicures. My husband has been known to get his nails done, I feel no envy towards him or anyone else. However, I do say that I don't think having a manicure makes one a better parent. I didn't make that assumption, it was written (perhaps explictly, perhaps 'between the lines' on your original post). There were four other comments, plus your own second post before your post was edited. They were mostly agreeing with my feelings on the subject. You'll see from my profile that I've been a nvn member for a long time and contributed to a lot of posts. I've met lots of other members; my son goes to nursery with the children of other members. They'll probably all tell you I'm about as 'slummy' a mummy as they come. Manicures, tottering about in high heels, really not me!
To be honest, I have no idea at what time I first looked at your website, perhaps you'll remind me.
The 'shallow' comment came on the strength of the comment saying that it didn't have to be a manicure; it could be shoes or a pretty dress. All things which could be construed as material goods. ie, buying something 'pretty' for yourself will make you a better mother.
I'm off to do bath and bedtime for the boys, now. Whilst I've had a very entertaining afternoon, perhaps the thread will be locked by the time I get back.
I'm sure you've thought about this, but you're promoting your business here. Anyone googling it will find this thread. Is this what you want potential customers to see? I could carry this on as long as you like, but I really don't have much to lose ...
edited to delete the comments made by MM (sorry, Mungo) which I'd inadvertently included.
