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.

there is another mum who always looks so cross and is always marching her son into and out of school so fast his wee feet can hardly keep up. i try to tell myself maybe she has loads of shit going on in her life but teh poor boy always looks panicky. she never smiles when i smile at her just keeps her angry face on and drags the little boy across the playground. i have seen her out for lunch with her friend and she was smiling and laughing so maybe school pick up and drop off is stressful for her.

Don't forget Alphamum

i'm the one who looks like she slept in a hedge in the mornings and like i just learnt how to use mascara in the afternoon

Mrs Buggy at our school doesn't have a range of buggies, she just has the hugest buggy ever known to mankind. It enters the playground about 10 minutes before she does!

And we have a DesignerPosse too, all decked out in their brand new gear every day, and loudly discussing their kids' Boden and Monsoon clothes

Thanks bananas, there are a quite few parents i chat with now, but i felt v out of place in sept as am about 20 yrs older than most of them. Now i am probably the saggy, baggy old hag!

Hex that might very well be me.
Ah yes,Alphamum. Annoyingly perky but kind of harmless. Except when she is yabbering to the teacher.

Feel a bit paranoid now.
Hope no-one at DS' school does that.

I'd be MrsShouty (DS runs off every bloody morning!)
Or
MrsBoots- wear the same boots every day (Ocd)

And Clipboard Mum, bit of an organiser. Someones got to do it sigh

TheOneWithTheHair I have one DC . I have a three wheeler (free to us from family), an umbrella, a stupid travel system useless and a two seater for her and her buddy when they are out together (joint childcare). Is that too many? Oh God, I am MrsBuggy, aren't I?

I have names for all the school wags
and undoutedly they gave name for me too

It sounds reasonable when you put it like that MrsTerry but I'm still a bit .

I would be Mrs Put-upon. Need a favour? Don't worry, TheOneWithTheHair will do it. :)

Oh I nearly forgot TheWalkers who do laps of the town after school in the morning. I envy them. I go home to clean.

I have 3 buggies. My pram,my double and the stroller in the car.

Oh, TheOneWithTheHair do you have a spare buggy lying around? Since you are so malleable...

CalmaLlamaDown - are you me?

I dreade to think what the other mums call me. I was seriously ill in hospital when DS started Reception in September and made my school gate debut about six weeks in, when they'd all made friends with each other, ashen and panicky (was still very very anaemic and constantly on the verge of fainting) with my hair falling out and giant purple bruises and needle-marks all up my arms. The Alpha Crowd must have had a field day! :o

We have Wolef Fleece Grandma, AlphaMum and her braying entourage, LycraWoman, who has a dazzling collection of shiny spray-on tracksuits, Overfriendly Dad, who has told everyone in the playground his entire life story, and a small group of us 'ordinary' mums who always look desperately relieved to see each other!

We have Mrs Mutton (50 going on 16)
Mrs Popstar (Looks like Beyonce)
Mrs Diabetes - Hugely overweight as is her DD. DD is given crisps and sweets on exit for the long car ride home.
Mouth (Goonies style) Always says the wrong thing loudly but is honest and well liked to be fair.

I know I'm known as Mrs Hippy Mum (colourful clothes and tattooed).

I am a childminder and have 10 different pushchairs including an off road triple that is nicked-named the" air-craft carrier" by some of the mums
I think I probably known as Mrs Howmanykidsdoyoulookafterareyoutotalymad? !!!!!!!!!

that bloke who always wears shorts - Yes!! What is with that bloke?

and

MrswhatcanIputyoudownfor three weeks before the summer fete/Christmas fayre

I think lots of people talk about me up the school cos i dont speak to a lot of them, some i dont even make eye contact with! I wonder what that would make me? (suggestions please)

We have:
The Italian mums - always immaculate, in designer gear
The late mum - always harrassed running into school 10 mins late
The sporty mum - ready for a session at the gym, there are lots of these
SAHM dad - short trousers, endless kids on his arm, always ott happy

What about horsey mum? I think I must be one of those with a muddy coat and boots

I do as it happens MrsTerry. You're welcome to it. Ds2 is just growing out of it and you can have it. I wouldn't recommend it though. We bought it in a rush and it's bloody awful.

Don't have a horsey mum,good job too cause the smell of horses makes me vomit. Actually vomit,not just feel sick.

I am late Mum, not particularly stressed, just a bit rubbish. One of my friends was so bad at lateness that when she got her son to school on time every day for a whole week the teacher gave her a gold star. If I get to school after she does I know I am fucked!

Oh no, I haven't yet graduated to the school run but DS will be starting the nursery class of our local primary in September. I fear I will be MrsLoudParenting as I have 2 preschoolers plus am slightly deaf so tend to TALK VERY LOUDLY when I'm feeling tired or distracted. I am constantly warned by DH that I project my voice like I'm addressing 20 rather than 2 children

The other mums are going to talk behind me back aren't they? (And of course being bloody deaf i won't even be able to hear them.)
