to snigger inwardly about this mom's OTT behaviour?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Examples of this mom's jawdropping behaviour.

scoots alongside her DD as the line flows into school, so that she's with the child till the door prevents her going any further.

conspicuously checks that her DD's reading book has been changed, making sure that everyone else has seen which stage Mildred is on as she waves it around getting it out of the bag.

makes snidey comments regarding the child first out the door at hometime being the "teacher's favourite".

clean the school shoes every night and fresh uniform everyday.

peers in through the window at school making sure that Mildred's coat has been hung up correctly. Once she nipped round to the school secretary to mention that it had been knocked off the peg after Mildred had sat down at circle time for registration.

asks the child why she hasn't earned any stickers that day, and if she has earned stickers, being very loud and vocal in her praise of such a wonderful pupil.

Blimey, she's everso entertaining!

Candleshoe - you've written that tongue-in-cheek haven't you? Why would anybody be worried about their 5yo being 'written up' as immature? I certainly wouldn't and over the years I've done more than my fair share of waving to some of mine until the last minute etc. As dropdeadfred says - it made me happy and they were happy.

I used to know someone exactly like that - right down to the cleaning her two children's shoes the second they walked in the door every evening. She was bonkers. Every class has one - you can just imagine the teachers all rolling their eyes every time they see her coming.

Oi Fellatio. Where's my sympathy

I remember the same thing happening to me Sarah! I wandered out of the door and took myself home halfway through the school day, in the first week of school - decided I didn't like it much. Can you imagine if that happened now?

Ah, the good ol' days when security was crap.

at five I was at boarding school. We had to walk from the hostel to the school building in the mornings, had to put our own coats etc up on the pegs. I spoke to my mum twice a week.

Five? I've heard of nine, (my dH went at 9) and even seven, but never 5. That's hideous.

God you poor thing.....I went to boarding school at age 10. It was too young.

Wow wannaBe, I hope it was all midnight feasts and tuck boxes.
