To laugh at women that don't work but........

To laugh at women that don't work but rush to the school gates 10 mins after the bell and usually rushing in at school finishing time rambling on about how busy they are and there is not enough time in the day.

I only work 16 hours a week and still manage to get everything done and a meal on the table.

So the question is ''Are people that work more organized?''

shave or wax?

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 28/01/2011 14:16

no no no - I still say that school run chicken has to be judged on the time that your child is due out of school.

Spit or swallow?

I think any benefit of staying at home with your child is cancelled out and then some by making them listen to the drivel that is Matchbox20.

They will be scarred for life.

thumbdabwitch · 28/01/2011 14:19

Dad actually dropped me over the back fence a couple of times because I was that late...

Mixing ketchup and brown sauce Shock

CatIsSleepy · 28/01/2011 14:20

that list really should include something to do with children at weddings, and ear-piercing in young children

Honeydragon · 28/01/2011 14:20

CatIsSleepy

Thanks for clarifying that, that sweeping statement covers many of my foibles Grin

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 28/01/2011 14:21

ewwwww you can't mix ketchup and brown sauce >>

haha thumb - do you now how many times I joked about dropping DS1 over the wall Grin

narkypuffin · 28/01/2011 14:21

I can live with the gargling and whistling but I have to draw the line at sauce mixing.

Honeydragon · 28/01/2011 14:22

I know Horace isn't old enough yet Thumb, but rules are rules!

My SiL won't let me piece my flower girls noses AIBU? - that should cover it.

CatIsSleepy · 28/01/2011 14:23
Grin i know nothing of your other foibles-but if you can contemplate mixing ketchup and brown sauce I'm slightly apprehensive I must say
GlynistheMenace · 28/01/2011 14:23

Christ, maybe matchbox could do a live interview at Mumsnet Towers lest any of us are in any doubt as to her mothering credentials? I for one would be all ears.
