Am I the only one to name school gate parents/minders?

[BananasInBloomers]

Inspired by all the school threads I'm just wondering if I am the only one who nicknames other schoolgaters? In my head,not out loud.

Theres MrsLoudParenting. Everyone in a five mile radius knows how brilliant her DC is doing.
Theres MrsBuggy. She was the widest range of buggies I've ever seen.
Theres MrSuit. He always looks immaculate.
Theres DiscoMinder. She looks like shes off to a nightclub.
Theres TheDesignerPosse. Always decked out,head to toe.
Then theres us The IfItsCleanI'llWearIt gang.

yes - I tend to smile and chat to other parents!

which probably makes me Mrs Overfriendly in you book!

How many buggies does MrdBuggy have? DH says 4 is too many and I disagree.

Haha I recognise all of those people in your list

Chat is fine. Asking personal stuff is a bit . I had one of them in DC1 class. Asked how much my rent was at DC birthday party.

No but i recognise all of your list in our playground!

Harmless, private -in your head fun i think

Well she has a Bugaboo,two maclarens,a city mini and a three wheeer one,name unknown.

Not nick names as such but if described as follows then will always be recognised by my friend.

• the one who's lost all that weight
• the one who always wears high heels
• the smelly one who wears a long dress
• the skinny one that's a druggy
• that bloke who always wears shorts

I am Mrs Desparate for a Friend as DS is only child, i am an older mum and didnt know a soul at the school in sept when ds started reception!

*wheeler

I am boobing DC4.

I must be odd - seriously i have never done this!

MrsTerryPratchett. I hope you are joking? Four? How many dcs do you have?

I have Mrs Two Faced at dd's school. She is very smiley to my face,goes out of her way to be friendly etc.
As soon as my back is turned she can't wait to slag me off to the other mums who then tell me because they think it's funny that I don't care.

Mine are so much meaner (mine and another bitchy friend)

We had - toothy (she had very bad teeth)

Miss insignificant (never smiled and only spoke to you if she wanted to know something and never ever asked "how are you") she was also dull and small and wore boring clothes

Am sure we had more....

Calma just join in some conversations. If they are not friendly back then don't bother chatting to them again. I always make an effort to chat to someone on their own.

actually not that mean now (shock)

the one that likes to label other people

how do you do smileys

Square brackets maxtrue. :)

i dont really do that but there are a few characters i giggle at when i see them.

there are two sister parents who collect their dc together. i see them around town aswell and they are always together and always wearing identical purple coats, pale denim jeans and trainers. i'm not sure if they are twins but tehy do look really alike. it just makes me laugh how 'together' they are.

also there is a dad who wears the same t-shirt, trousers and coat all the time. they are trendy river island type clothes and i'm guessing he just likes that style but really the same t-shirt? when does it ever get washed? (he doesn't look dirty BTW so i'm guessing he washes it every night) it's just funny to see the same clothes every day.

got it

Its lots of fun gordy .
Theres also MrsRings who has lovely jewellry. I want her accesories.

We also have Mrs Wag Wannabe. Complete with fake boobs, eyelashes the lot. She makes no secret of her desire and she looks like Barbie. It always makes me because she is actually a mounted police woman and is also wellard.

I'm sure I'm labelled as the one who always wears a dress. Or the one who is always rummaging in her handbag.

dressdown friday

I am all of them plus - I am the one that lost all the weight and now she's put it all back on again!!
