To Think This Family Is At Every School

They are. I have two children, moved around, been to lots of schools. They are always there. They turned up last night to pre-school parents evening.

Child: stunningly beautiful, trendily dressed, appallingly behaved, can't read.

Mum: Used to model, tall and blonde, dresses like a pole dancer, ignores child.

Dad: Surfer shorts, Blackberry, longish hair, dabbles in property/import-export.

AND, by the time the child leaves school this has always happened:

House repossessed

Dad has affair/tax investigation

Child goes to Art School.

Nope. Not at the school mine go to

Nope not at my school.

Wow I wish they had been at our school! No-one that exciting here much to my disappointment.

Nor mine. And mine have been to two schools.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 08/07/2011 15:07

Nor mine. DD has been at three schools. First one was a mix of Thai bar girls who married well as mums, ex-prat mums and HI-SO mums.
Second the Dads were mainly oil traders and the Mums spent all day skiing.
Last one the parents are on the whole Indian and work as diamond traders.

I live in a poor area so no, no daddies with blackberry's and jobs in property.

Twattish parents though, they are at every school.

MorticiaAddams · 08/07/2011 15:08

I've never noticed them at our schools.

Hand up - Ooooh yesssss!
Wife generally an idlewife (often #2)

TheMagnificentBathykolpian · 08/07/2011 15:10

Don't recognise that family profile either.

valiumredhead · 08/07/2011 15:10

Errrr nope!

oohjarWhatsit · 08/07/2011 15:11

cant say it rings a bell

itisnearlysummer · 08/07/2011 15:11

On reflection, I think that there are people who meet the profiles at my DD's school, just not in the same family...

TheCrackFox · 08/07/2011 15:12

nope, not ringing any bells.

Ormirian · 08/07/2011 15:14

"Mum: Used to model, tall and blonde, dresses like a pole dancer, ignores child."

LOL ! Not at our school. She's have stood out like a sore thumb Grin

Finallyspring · 08/07/2011 15:15

Not in Sarf East London

MrsBuntyisRatherGrumpy · 08/07/2011 15:21

Ermm, if they were at your preschool it's hardly surprising their stunning beautiful child can't read, is it? I haven't seen this family at every school I've been to, and we've moved a fair bit too. They sound interesting enough though...

whackamole · 08/07/2011 15:23

Sadly, the mum and child sounds like my DSS and his mum :( aside from the badly behaved.

The stepdad I don't know about although I do know he is minted.

Ishani · 08/07/2011 15:28

We have a trophy wife (yy number 2, would love to meet number 1), unfortunately she is just lovely and the children can read otherwise you'd love to hate her.

toddlerama · 08/07/2011 15:28

I recognise this from our one and only foray into independant school. OP, for bunfight's sake, is this your search parameter?? Wink

BadBagel · 08/07/2011 15:32

nope, not at our schools

Bandwithering · 08/07/2011 15:33

Not at my children's school either !!

although tbh, I don't know if other people's children are doing well at school. Or if they can read.

Bandwithering · 08/07/2011 15:35

I mean, even the other children in my dc's class. I sometimes try and fish! Is Jake really clever then?? and my dc will just look at me like she either hasn't got a clue, how would she know, why do i want to know, and even (might be paranoid here) is that really an appropriate question mother.

SortingHardHat · 08/07/2011 15:36

Yes we have trophy/bimbo mums at school and a few of the obligatory 'nu-dads' with their long hair, silly shorts, flip flops and stay at home "i believe in equality and would have a period if i could" attitudes. All their kids are indeed shits. Well dressed shits. But shits nonetheless.

You've obviously never lived in Sandwell.
