Luisa Zissman is criticised for saying she wants to skip her daughter's school play as it's 'not worth her time' because 'she's got a s**t part'

Luisa Zissman has come under fire for saying she planned to skip her daughter's school play because she has a 's*** part' and it's not worth her time.

The content creator, 38, gave her brutally honest opinion about attending the play to watch her little girl in her 'non-speaking ensemble role'.  

During an episode of her LuAnna podcast with Anna Williamson, Luisa revealed she planned not to attend the performance of Mary Poppins because she was 'too busy'.

She said: 'I'm not f***ing going because she's got a s****y ensemble part, there's no air con in there, it's a non-speaking part and I'm not going.

'Because I have to work today and it's very much a stress doing everything I had to do today.

'I had a conference call from 8 until half 9 and then we have to record the pod and then I have more content to film and nanny Nat went and she went 'honestly, it's s**t'.'

Luisa continued: 'All she does is sing in a s****y bonnet and it's f***ing hot in there and it's not worth your time going.

'I'm not interested in going to see her unless she's got a main part.'

She also admitted that she skipped her other daughter Clemmie's woodwind recital because she doesn't like the noise of the instrument. 

Her comments sparked a visceral reaction from other mothers online, who told her it doesn't matter how big the part, she should still show up for her child.

They said: 'It's not always about you seeing her and everything about HER seeing you! Totally understand it's not always possible for workers but it's the attitude here that stinks'; 'Content can be done anytime. Your kids are only young once';

'Saying something we all want to say but also the look on their face knowing you made the effort to go when they know you're busy. My kids are more grateful knowing I need to take the day off work for their school things than me not turning up. It's about how they feel you being there not what they are doing';

'Yeah not feeling this one. I missed my daughter's one line in her class play because my car wouldn't start and the heartbreak on her face. I work 60+ hours a week and cannot relate to this';

'I'm no contact with my mum and these are the sorts of decisions she would make. Me me me. I'll be there every single event for my 3 boys, I don't care how insignificant to me it is.. when they look up at 100 faces they will see me there supporting them';

'Oh this is so sad. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad it's about your daughter seeing her mummy in the audience'; 'I'm a single parent, I've showed up EVERY DAMN TIME. Nothing does more harm to the early memories of a child than that of a parent that didn't show up to your biggest events, because, as a child, these are the biggest anxiety inducing events they have ever experienced... 

'And the beaming smile they give you when they look into the crowd and find you, you can't ever get that back from something else'.

However, some did see the funny side of Luisa's rant and applauded her for saying what every other parent is thinking in the same situation.

Love Island series one winner Cara Delahoyde left a string of laughing face emojis underneath the post.

Others said: 'I'm glad someone said this, I'm the same with sports day I can't stand it'; 'You're so funny. You say what everyone else is thinking'; 'This is so me, mummas got shit to do'.

Luisa clarified in the comments section that she did end up attending the play 'for ten minutes', before dipping out to take 'work calls' at a nearby Costa Coffee and returning at the end of the show.

Luisa is married to her husband Andrew Collins and the couple share Esme, 10, and Clemmie, nine. She is also mum to Dixie, 16, from her first marriage to Oliver Zissman.
