Here's the scenario...you invite some Mums out for a meal to celebrate Christmas. Some work, some don't. Those of us who don't work miss the 'Christmas Do' aspect of the season and so try to recreate it within the parameters that are available..ie: recruiting for a night out from the playground.
They arrive at the resturant and no one has made an effort in the dressing up field and all the conversation revolves around all evening is their kids, my kids, someone elses kids and so on and so on...
Has the art of conversation gone? What a bout music, travel, TV(!), fashion, celebrity gossip, sport, beauty, current affairs...all that you can talk about and you can't stop these women talking about their bloody kids. I have a headache this afternoon and I am in a really bad mood. What a waste of an evening! Oh, and we were all home be 11!!!!!!!
