so do you pry in other kids school bags when they come home for tea?

[sneakypeak]

I always have a look to see what reading book theyre on/ what the standard of their work is compared to my dcs.

am i sneaky / sad or is this just normal human curiosity?

[scaryfucker]

of course I do

doesn't everyone?

[Tidgypuds]

Yep

[misdee]

nope.

and i will make sure i will take dd2 bag off her if she goes anywhere straight from school.

[notnowbernard]

Oh God, absolutely

Only FREAKS don't do that sort of thing

Next question, please

[misdee]

[misdee is a freak]

[Monkeyblue]

no
I take DC school bag before they go to someone elses.

There was a very heated thread on this not long ago. It seems to provoke outrage in quite a few people.

I'll admit to it. I worry about DS2 and DS3's reading and want to see just how far behind they are.

would not even enter my head.

Its private

A friend did this and read that the childs parents and complained about her DS.

[nooOOOoonki]

I wouldn't but am nosy ...have you found anything interesting?

[sneakypeak]

ah, didnt see other thread. lol at 'outrage' though - can just imagine!

i do feel a bit guilty and sneaky when i do it... but just cant help it

[seeker]

I started a thread about this once. I was the only one who was prepared to admit to doing it......!

[misdee]

dd1 is 'average' in her reading. so am not overly concerend and wouldnt compare her with other kids.

if anyone checked dd2 bookbag they would think their child was massively behind. she is in year one and working at the top end of year 2 level.

[Monkeyblue]

Jeez had realised most people did this

Glad I take the school bags off DC before they go for a playdate

[Sycamoretree]

I have absolutely no idea what would make a parent do this. I'm totally . How is it any more ok than going in an adult's bag?

It's a total invasion of privacy - you should stop, immediately. Bad, bad women.

[notnowbernard]

Odd thing to do IMO

Would be a bit like opening someone else's mail... it's private and you don't do it

[Eunicewonderstuff]

This is such a made up thread.

Let's see it zip up 300 threads by bedtime shall we.

[andiem]

no no no
all of you who do need to get a life

[notnowbernard]

I think OP is a wind-up
(almost a carbon copy of the lunchbox thread)

But judging by responses people obv do this!

[Mandelbrot]

For those of you who do, why not just ask the parents?

Is anyone prepared to admit asking a child to tea purely to nose through its bag to see its reading level etc?

[Countingthegreyhairs]

You are kidding aren't you. Aren't you? Wouldn't dream of it.
