Vicky Pollard is not a real person OP

You cant blame other people for your childs bad manners, if you thought your child was going to go through life without burping/answering back/jumping about the furniture your in for a big shock!

Don't you think it's 'bad manners' to denigrate a whole section of society? How are you qualified to judge others?

saffy85 · 04/11/2010 20:23

How is it lighthearted to blame nursery staff (who work damn hard btw) for making your children 'a' chav? Hmm

MummyBerryJuice · 04/11/2010 20:24

Ah, but chicolatecake you weren't being obviously ironic.

Georgimama · 04/11/2010 20:24

Way to backtrack not very convincingly.

cookielove · 04/11/2010 20:24

Was the OP blaming the staff or just the whole nursery environment? I am certainly not blaming the staff - it is the other children for sure.

VinegarTits · 04/11/2010 20:28

is that sarcasm OP? well done love

no go away and work on your irony Wink

ForMashGetSmash · 04/11/2010 20:29

My DD never went to nursery but all that happened as soon as she went to school...were coping now. The burping, the lost T's...it's life.

SalFresco · 04/11/2010 20:29

The romany word for child is chav, or chavvie.

Obviously the OP meant going to nursery has turned her DS into a normal child.

Honestly, you lot, all jumping to conclusions...Grin

Ineedsomesleep · 04/11/2010 20:30

Saffy, well done for getting flummoxed on MN, you must be a fellow northener Smile

chocolatecakeisyummy · 04/11/2010 20:31

Wow - huge over-reaction to an obviously light-hearted post!

saffy85 · 04/11/2010 20:33

I'm not Ineedsomesleep Grin it's my favourite word though.

chocolatecakeisyummy · 04/11/2010 20:34

My dd came home with the rhyme 'Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh, has a wobbly WILLY (emphasised) lala lala lala laaaaa!
Maybe the OP's child(ren) have made someone else's child say 'pardon me' or has ensured his/her peers are sitting up straight.
Home school if you don't like it OP.

and not to forget offending the Chavs!! I'm a chav, my kids are chavs. I love Burberry, Golddigga, Henelys, Timberland and a flat peck cap. Cher lloyd if fab and so is Miss Cheryl Cole!! But my DD 13, DS1 6 and DS2 19 mths are very well mannered, pronounce their "T's" and know that bottom burps are only allowed in the bathroom whilst sat upon the toilet!!

:o

Asteria · 04/11/2010 22:10

just you wait! My DS (8yo) has older friends that go to ridiculously expensive prep schools and actually ASPIRE to become chavs! DS is also completely enraptured by the delightfully named "Shag Bands" that are the craze in his class. This is what growing up is all about though, children naturally imitate eachother - and all the points that you noted are what 99.99% of boys(and some girls) do.

If you really are that concerned about his behaviour then move him - but it really won't make that much difference. I suggest that you set a good example at home
