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?''

Good ones GetOrf

  • How often do you wash?
  • How often do you change your sheets?
  • Do you sit or stand when you wipe?

Actually, could you please tell us all where you stand on all these important issues, as obviously you are the paragon of humanity and something we should all aspire to. It will also make long fighty threads much shorter in future "hang on - did matchbox20 FF or BF? We should do what she did. She's perfect, dontcha know" [everyone nods along sagely]

Troll baiting is fun

There are some folk who are more to be pitied than scorned.

Oh!! But would sending your kids to school in the first place qualify as giving them to someone else to look after? Grin

LOL at "Dettol protects - FACT"
I seem to remember something similar for Strong-thick-Domestos-kills-all-known-germs-dead - FACT - but am I mixing my disinfectants up?

Could do with a hefty dose of anti-trollinfectant on this thread...

yy ABS. We could ask "wwmd?"

I don't work (well actually I do, sort of, but hardly ever) and am always ten minutes late.

Why?

the SN taxi that delivers my third son has to be met without fail, is due at the smae time as otehr school kicks out and is often stuck in traffic.

Judge not, lest ye be considered an unknowing so and so

BeerTricks - never (hangs head in a shame - and me a SAHM too)

"I work 16 hours a week to keep my mind active."

Grin I think it's getting towards time for you to pick up more hours.

Peachy · 28/01/2011 13:37

Shall go with first instinct and change so and so to wanker.

Cheers!

I AGREE COMPLETELY OP i mean why can't everyone be as perfect as me

Besom · 28/01/2011 13:38

Do people clean their skirting boards every day? I do mine at Christmas.

I'm rarely late for anything though.

BecauseImWorthIt · 28/01/2011 13:38

I prefer to debate rather more important and meaningful issues than other peoples' time-keeping.

You, on the other hand, are just here to stir things up, which means that you are a troll.

If you really hate it so much here I'm sure there are plenty of other forums where you can find other like-minded entities people.

You cannot work 55 hours a week and look after your own kids all the time......

This thread is moving too fast [got you interested did'nt I?]

So will only answer a few comments.

AbsDuCroissant · 28/01/2011 13:39

Seriously woman, can you answer these queries, and more. There are so many things I need to do today that I cannot possibly comprehend doing without your brilliant and perfect guidance

JamieLeeCurtis · 28/01/2011 13:40

I prefer to debate meaningful issues like this in Starbucks with all the other yummy mummies

slightlymad72 · 28/01/2011 13:40

cleaning skirting boards? NEVER that interferes with eating biscuits and watching tv.

LadyTremaine · 28/01/2011 13:40

What if their dad is an arse? Is it better to leave the kids with him while you work... or someone else? Is it ok to leave them with your own mm? Or is that wrong?

Teachers are ok then I guess?

I think maybe a reference book is needed called as someone suggested 'what would matchbox do?'
