Katie Hopkins is at it again and this time she's divided mums into five offensive categories - do you think there's any truth in what she's said?

Katie Hopkins' "five types of mums"
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.”
