My boys go to a prestigious boarding school. Ask me anything !

[tummyduck]

Ask me anything about my boys who board at an all boys’ school ! Any disrespectful questions will be ignored

That is your perception. Which in my world is quite a strange perception.

do you want some vinegar to go with that fucking huge chip?

But they’re not with people from different backgrounds. They’re in a prestigious private school.

…and do you feel validated by accusing me of being angry? Take care OP x

It’s not for everyone. I have 2 cousins both went. One couldn’t cope, the other thrived. They are still close to their parents in their 50s.

But I can imagine if a child struggles and don’t feel comfortable telling parents or parents insist child stays in boarding school despite struggling, this leading to life long resentment towards parents.

Reading through your comments we would not be friends IRL. Not to do with me thinking I am better, its just that you come across as really kind of mean. A meany.

You say their views are on the left. If that is the case, they will be against private schools. Are they?

they dont stay in private school for 5 - months of the year- there are plenty of other opportunities outside of school…

Well, that's very nice to hear. Perhaps today's schoolchildren are surrounded with kinder values than in the Eighties and Nineties.

But you are the one who made an aggressive post addressing Op. Now you feel bad about being called out on anger. You said you don’t give a damn if her kids go to posh school.

How do you know @Victoria39 isn’t campaigning on this? But in any case, she’s entitled to have an opinion without starting a campaign. Have you started a campaign on something you feel strongly about?

It’s not perception, it’s the truth - you have chosen to travel and remain with your husband, as opposed to your children. If they can cope without their parents for extended periods of time, can you really not cope without husband? And if you cannot, then surely you can see why they should not have to either.

Life is so short, childhood been shorter, what a pity to be missing so much of these fleeting years.

No! They have loads of friends on full bursaries at their school and have benefited from the same brilliant education

I don’t know why my posts getting posted twice.

Yes. I have started a campaign about not campaigning on mumsnet
a lot of virtue signalling on here

Sorry - this was a question to OP.

They are not on the left then. If they were, they would see that the inequality stemming from private schooling is a structural issue - not something that can be solved by handing out a few bursaries.

Have you been to The Treasury and were you impressed by all the Ming vases? Which was your favourite?

I assure you I’m not angry and I definitely don’t feel bad about my posts. I’m curious (and a tad amused) as to why OP thinks we should care or be interested about her children going to a “prestigious” private school. Sorry if this has triggered you in some way. Take care x

yet here you are, at 2am on my thread

Steady on old bean - they are mere teenagers. Did you pin your political colours to the mast at that age. They are more to the left than I am that I know

It’s 1am in my world. Goodnight OP! :)
