Neurotic parents in the school playground

[louise999]

Just wondering if all parents in the school playground (apart from me ha!) are neurotic, angry, self centered, evil, selfish, blinkered, crazy, paranoid loons!
I only ask because they all seem to migrate towards me. They may think I am interested or easy prey because I look into the distance when they are talking but really I am thinking what shall we have for tea tonight red or white! This has followed me round from pre school to school and it is different people as soon as I edge slowly away from one, another one snares me!
I really can't be arsed is it just bad luck or is it the norm? Usually it's the parents that demand special attention for their kids, because they are anxious, finding mixing with other kids hard etc, then they scream at them to be quiet and don't let them have tea at their friends houses or have to invite themselves too, won't let them go to parties,I even know a mother who will not let her son wear shorts in case he falls over wtf!!! I feel like shouting you silly fuck you are ruining your child!!!
Sorry for rant but would like to know I'm not the only one!

Cor blimey....actually,this is a wind up?

hmmm, not sure what you question is really?

me neither SGM!!

I think if you feel that every single parent you have ever met from prescool and school is neurotic then the problem probably lies with you.

Erm... Have a read of your first post dear.

Just because you're paranoid...

Interesting first thread for you OP!

Well hopefully they will get the gist you aren't at all pleasant, are planted firmly up your own rear and not make any effort to speak to you or be friendly in future!!

and breathe.stop bad mouthing and generalising.poor widdke you all the loons talk to you?maybe they think you are kindred soul too

She's not paranoid if they ARE out to get her.....

Mmwaaahhh

Maybe they are trying to find a way to tell her that there's dog poop on her shoes or a tampon hanging out of her trouser leg but they are too embarassed.

Oh Dear!!!

neurotic, angry, self centered, evil, selfish, blinkered, crazy, paranoid loon - yup, that's me! Not going to talk to you anymore though.

All parents in the playground generally includes all of us louise

I would DIE if I had a tampon hanging out of my trousers. I did that with knickers after a night of passion once. The shame.

Just smile and be friendly and you will get on much better!

Having said that, I NEED to know more about the shorts mum - madness!!

Shorts mum sounds interesting. You should get to know her louise so we can learn about her

For interesting should we read mentalist

I did actually know a mum at ds1 nursery who puts on crop trousers to her ds in case he falls. Not that he gets the chance she runs behing him shrieking after nursery if he even looks at the climbing frame. Abdomen that is only one of the many neurosis she has.

Oooh MrsYamada

It was twenty years ago, I'm blushing now. It was him that noticed too.

You are the only normal one and every other parent on the planet is a freak.
