School pick up twat

[Revoltingrhyme]

We’re all anonymous here so we can secretly rage at the one person who drives us insane at school pick up.

Now I’ll start by saying this isn’t an attack on the women, I am a young, high maintenance woman myself- platinum hair, false tan etc but there’s a few groups of similar mums at the school pick up who come in gym sets, hair all done, lovely done filler. Very glam.

But it’s this one dad who sets my teeth on edge. He will cut the queue every day and walk up the path past everyone until he finds one of these mums and tries to flirt with them very blatantly. It’s the strut he does, the specific type of woman he looks for. He’s not even cutting right up to the front, just until he sees one of these mums who are simply trying to pick up their kids. Argh he makes my skin crawl and it never fails to irritate me every day 😂

Anyone else have that one twat at pick up who annoys you?

Has it though? Has it really though?

I'd LOVE to do the school run on a horse!!

Hate the school run when you have to collect from the classroom.

You'd be surprised at what people learn after having dealt with thousands of them.

Mostly all lovely at dd's school but there's a dad that is SO into the performative dadding he makes me cringe. His poor kid practically slinks out shamefaced to his whooping and bellowing.
Also he does that weird walk on his tiptoes and bounces around the yard like a 6yr old. And he has tattoos on his neck.

No, we are swimming. But no dry robes this time of year amongst actual swimmers.

And it doesn't matter if they are ugly, its not a fashion item.

Exactly. We just wore fleeces back in the day. Don’t think anyone saw it as anything other than it was.

I almost thought we lived in the same village there for a bit, except since they closed the back entrance to our school due to ‘safeguarding’ not having enough staff to come and open it at pick up , you can’t get into the field direct from the school.
And the school run horse at our school is a pony and trap 🙄

No we aren’t that cool here. No trap. Just mum on her bike, guiding a white horse that her dd rides home whilst mum on the bike.

We also have two entrances and exists. The main one and the back field one.

Both are visible from the classrooms so apart from flooding, they always have both gates open at pick up and drop off.

Omg I would love to do the school run on a horse! 😍 It wouldn't work here though. And I don't have a horse. Haha.

Our school sounds really normal compared to some of the ones I have just read about. We just have mums and dads in work wear or active wear and at the moment it's quite a lot of shorts and t-shirts and summer dresses. I have yet to see fake nails or obvious fake tans. We have a couple of "cool bearded dads" in flat caps, but that's about it. I'm usually in skinny jeans and oversized hoodies because I'm a millennial and don't know what else to wear. 😂

I don't think I could tell you what people wear on the school run, but this thread has opened the floodgates of judgey mums hasn't it? Glam, Dry Robe, Boden, track suit...who cares, we're all just getting our kids to and from school.

Creepy dad sounds like a prat - we had one who sort of swaggered into the playground with his legs wide apart to signal his massive balls to us all - he didn't flirt with the mums just kind of stood in the middle in a Gaston-type way! Unfortunately some of the mums (and teachers) did tend to swoon over him.

Surely this is the next reality TV show we all want to watch "school mums of liverpool". The show would exclusively be set at school pick up time and feature a range of different school mums (plus the annoying dad you mention)

Years ago now but I remember a couple at our school who used to jog with their kids to school. The couple held hands all the way and would jog on the spot in the cloakroom/classroom whilst their kids hung up coats and chose a book .... god forbid they cool down before the run home.

Used to really get on my tits for some strange reason .....

Fuck's saaaaake, what a pair of twats 😂

Well when I was at primary the dad didn’t do the school run cause they were at work.
couldn’t stand the school playground dads when my daughters were in primary. They all sent their wives out to graft which I found off putting. I remember one had his boxers on show and when sat down you could his skid marks 🤢
obviously there are exceptions, single dads, millionaire investors etc etc but most of them are just lazy losers.

Never see any of this at my kids pick up - and never think about what to wear. Too bloody busy!

I live in Liverpool and can assure the majority of school mum's don't dress glam for school drop offs / pick ups.
I pop in to town fairly regularly and you see the majority of people dressed very casually, lots of trackie bottoms, leggins and jeans.

Perhaps both of you should read the OP again.
In it, the OP clearly explains why she has described her appearance. If the reason continues to elude you, it was to show that she's not bashing the women she mentions in her post, as she has a similar style herself.

Away to Google "Dry robe" and "Poon hound".

This made me laugh. I know which one I am -the last one! 😂
I live in the NW, not Liverpool but close to a certain town that was built for Liverpool overflow in the 60s.
Some of the mums are so glamourous, fake tan, nails done, immaculate make up.
I don't know how anyone has time to do all this, let alone for every day!

Duck mouths and shoot-outs?

No idea what a dry robe is though!

I've never seen anyone wear a dryrobe on the school run and I live in the Lake District and know many, many, many wild swimmers, including school run Mums!

Our school has permission for parents to use an adjacent public car park for drop offs and pick ups and I often walk through this car park on my way to / from school. There are multiple zebra crossings in the car park and I've lost count of the amount of near misses I've had with school parents in cars not stopping at them when I'm crossing. So that would be my pick. I swear, some of the worst driving I have ever seen is by school parents in that car park. I'm amazed a child hasn't been hit.

Some parents drive all the way through this not very large car park to try and stop as close as they can to the school entrance. A walk from the furthest point in the car park would take an extra two minutes at most. As a result the place is often gridlocked!

We have The Super Mother at nursery (attached to a primary school). She is a hugely performative parent, talking at the top of her over sweet and over excited voice to her child so everyone can see how much she loves them. She has a baby too, and talks to them in the same way. However, the other day I walked past without her noticing (away from the school) and she was talking to the baby in a perfectly normal voice. The child at nursery with my DD is quite sweet really, and the dad is normal and friendly.

Getting my big rollers in, just on the off chance a Granada film unit arrives.
