To Think This Family Is At Every School

[nomedoit]

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.

No. Think you must live in a certain type of yummy mummy chick lit novel.

op do you live in loughton?

omg scottishmummy,that was the first area i thought of.

Loughton, Essex? Is it posh there now? My mum grew up there and they were dirt poor.

its blingtastic.know it well.pal lives there

Never heard of this mate. Maybe not enough money round our way...?

Well she did grow up on the council estate.

I don't recognise the OP's stereotype either.

sorry i can't talk now, being an idlewife I am too busy thinking about my husbands sausage erm mean steak!

Well, I think thats a resounding "NO" to your theory of "at every school" then OP!

im due a wee trip down to essex soon.cant wait

Nope. None here in sunny Hackney. Which is quite near Loughton.

Epping Forest and its towns are defo faves of mine.

Where abouts scotish you could pop in for a cuppa.

I'd even shine my white stilettos for your visit.

Recognise this family too - nit at my DCs' school, but at a friend's.

youre a proper laydee.nice hospitality.nice shoes

sitinsun,wahey?real family?yikes

i,m afraid my ds does ent read either he is four and starts reception in september neither do any of his class mates can recognise his own name though half his classmates cant i,m sure he will be starting to read by the time he starts yr 1 i could nt read at his age either but am an avid reader now is he supposed to be able to read at four

No, and I haven't the least idea what you're talking about either.

My ears started burning and I was strangly drawn to this thread.

It quite distracted me from polishing my pole...

Yes. Private school only though.

Would add that when the Dad's affair comes to light and leaves, the Mum is suddenly very chatty at school gates [hhmm]

Back at home, parents have full-time childcare - a weekday nanny, and weekend nanny. They work from home.

I actually live in an area that is full of these parents, but DC1 is at local state just on edge of 'normal' area. Few at DC2's nursery, and lot at local private preps, though.

Oh I recognise this family. Dad thinks he's a little bit trendy (wears converse on speech day with his suit). Mum is so thin and brown she could be a pepperami.

I've never met them at the my DC's school (any of the 5 they have attended) but I did meet this family once, through work.

Swop the dad to being an ex-footballer and yes that family does go to our school and they think they own the school car park.

An 'idlewife' is not a housewife or one who does not go out of the house to work. It is one who does bugger all - does not work, never drops of/picks up the kids or comes to any of the events, has full time care for the kids (plus housekeepers) and sends the kids off out with the nanny at the weekends so she can go and play tennis 'with the girls'. They are also unbelievible buffed and polished, so you know they don't spend their day on the floor making pasta necklaces or crawling around soft play areas. Of course, their husbads are very rich!

I think I want to be one when I grow up!

Ha! Sorry, haven't read whole post but they are at my DD's school!!!! :o
