  1. you will get flamed saying 'chav'
  1. you will upset a LOT of people who work in nurseries
ASecretLemonadeDrinker · 04/11/2010 20:04

I blame your spelling & grammar.

How many children into a chav?? Grin

RobynLou · 04/11/2010 20:05

YANBU, but it's not the nursery, just being in an environment with lots of other children - DD is noticeably more 'high spirited' after morning running riot with her mates at pre school!

Egg · 04/11/2010 20:05

child? Or children?

cookielove · 04/11/2010 20:06

Yes you are insulting lots of nursery nurses Angry

VinegarTits · 04/11/2010 20:08

oh dear, are they making him wear a burberry tracksuit aswell

Georgimama · 04/11/2010 20:08

How old is he? Somewhere around the age of 3 boys (and girls) discover that farting and burping is funny. Nothing to do with nursery or chavdom.

pjmama · 04/11/2010 20:10

He sounds perfectly normal to me!

Mine go to a so-called posh (whatever that means?!) private school, but my DD can (and regularly does) burp loudly and repeatedly on purpose and my DS no longer seems to be able to pronounce the letter "t".

Georgimama · 04/11/2010 20:11

are funny

OP's grasp of grammar must be infectious.

redflag · 04/11/2010 20:11

Not nursery, its other children.

My son told me yesterday his dinner smelled of "dog poo" Not a phrase he would ever have encountered in our house hold.

Keep installing manners and discipline, and he will learn to be an oik behind you're back, instead of in front of you!

readinginbed · 04/11/2010 20:12

Why do you think it is acceptable to be so snobbish? Because it makes you feel better about yourself? YABU

MmeLindt · 04/11/2010 20:12

hahahahahaha.

Wait till he starts school.

You are being a snob.

chocolatecakeisyummy · 04/11/2010 20:12

Sorry "My child into a chav"

We don't have nursery nurses we have workshop leaders and teachers?? Confused I'm sure I have insulted them too though Wink

Why is having good manners related to being a snob??

OP posts:
pjmama · 04/11/2010 20:14

I should also add that since starting school, my lovely DCs are much cheekier, more defiant and have far more screaming strops than they ever did before. They also punch lumps out of each other at the drop of a hat.

I'm hoping they'll grow out of it in 15 years or so...

hambo · 04/11/2010 20:15

Mine too!
He has fogotton the letter 't'...It is horriffic! Today he said 'nah' instead of 'no'.....gah

VinegarTits · 04/11/2010 20:15

my 4yr old was farting in the bath earlier, on purpose so he could see the bubbles, do chavs do this too?

VinegarTits · 04/11/2010 20:16

why is bad manners related to being a chav?

MmeLindt · 04/11/2010 20:16

The dropping his "t"s is quite snobbish. And calling other children/staff at the nursery "chavs" is snobbish.

Kids learn this kind of behaviour. And revel in it.

If you want a meek, well behaved creature in your house, get a dog and train it well.

MummyBerryJuice · 04/11/2010 20:16

He's a boy? No?

My DH (privately educated and very 'middle class') thinks it is hilarious to fart and burp as much as possible at home and 'trendy' to drop his Ts.

saffy85 · 04/11/2010 20:18

Congrats your children/child (I'm flummoxed as too how many you have Confused) are normal.

Sure it aint ya dodgy spelling making ya child/ren a "chav"? Grin

chocolatecakeisyummy · 04/11/2010 20:19

Because VinegarTits he has turned into a mini male version of Vicky Pollard and she is a chav and she does have bad manners (goes off to ponder if chavs do ever have good manners.....)
