Nursery has turned my children into a chav!

[chocolatecakeisyummy]

Ahhhh!
Since starting nursery our sweet poliet children has started:

1. burping and laughing at the dinner table
2. showing us his half eaten food in his mouth at the dinner table
3. answering back
4. running around the house at high speed jumping on all the funiture.
5. dropping his 't's......DH says I'm making this bit up......I'm not!!

He has become a chav!

AIBU to blame nursery!!??

pjmama - I am so glad you wrote that, my DD is doing exactly the same as yours. I'm hoping I don't have to wait 15 years though :(

EMJ - sure you mean loo!!!

Hey! I drop my t's.

Nuffink wrong wiv it innit

Actually I'm Glaswegian so that should read 'Nuthin wrang wae it ya c**t'

If he ever says that, or pulls a gun on you, contact the nursery because at that point YANBU

If an educational institution turned my plural children into a singular chav, I would ask for a refund.

Or at least a rebate.

Turned your children into a chav? Very poor use of grammar.

Chavs are vile...you have every reason to be upset.

Flame away, chavs

This happened when I sent my 3yo to an establishment which described themselves as "kids daycare". I should have know. It was in the nicest part of town, and all the staff had minis with the nursery logo all over.

Thankfully he has re-found his t's and h's since I removed him from the leafy suburbs.

When my girls started nursery they started talking like little farmers. I was a bit taken aback at first but blending Somerset with DH's cockney accent and my not-very-Welsh-Welsh accent and they sound very...interesting. Think Oliver Twist meets Charlotte Church meets the Wurzels. What can you do though?
:)

Wow. It was worth waiting six years for that marvellously witty comment dick?
ZOMBIE ALERT.

We found our daughters behaviour went downhill too - she stopped using her cutlery properly and obviously wasn't encouraged good table manners.

We let it slide/corrected it at home

Just wait till he starts school....you've years of fun ahead of you!!

All sounds normal behaviour to me. You are a snob, a prude and boring.

2010! Oh ffs op's kids are teenage chavs at this stage

Hate the word chav too, even before this thread educated me as to its origins - if that's true then expect mumsnet hq to swoop in soon and liberally delete huge sections of this thread...

Thing is OP, purporting to make your (unspoken but presumably) middle class children's bad manners (normal behaviour?) somehow the result of 'chav' nursery influences is unnecessarily insulting. If you don't like the staff for genuine reasons, complain. But I for one want my pre school child to be loved and supported and played with, and if the best person for that is someone who 'drops their Ts' then I'll take that. I'd rather that to them being educated by a bigot with grand elocution.

The irony of you complaining about incorrect speech whilst writing badly will hopefully make you think. Being 'lighthearted' doesn't make you any less insulting. We don't tolerate light hearted racism do we?

2010???????????

Oh dear OP...you used the word 'chav' on mn...so you'll get a pasting, despite the fact that no one gives a toss about the word chav in rl.

Yes, the cardinal sin on MN is the c word, by which I mean chav not cunt, cunt is fine.

ZOMBIE THREAD

Weird, Dickard is going round resurrecting old chap threads

Chap = chav

I like 'old chap' threads

Yes chap is much more polite than chav, so is cunt!
