To ask, how badly behaved are the parents at your Dc's school nights out?

Just wondering really, if we have a particularly wild bunch or this is normal! On a typical fundraising night for the parents, we will see a few get so drunk they have to be carried home, extreme flirting between couples, and occasionally a kiss or bit of touching up between a husband and wife who are not married.

I'm new to this - DC is in reception. And it seems a bit much! Is this normal??.

I avoid nights out with school parents at all costs. In reception, yeah I probably would have gone but by year 1 or 2 the novelty had definitely worn off!!

I find the teachers worse. Several toilet shagging incidents. the parents are quite civilised by comparison.

wow sounds fun. the drunkest I have ever been or seen others was after a PTA quiz night.

think the punch was doctored as everyone was fairly sozzled.

hey ho.

The way our year group carry on it seems as though swinging is the only next logical step!

Our school parents must be a boring bunch then, as i have never seen this behaviour.

My ante-natal group is a very different matter....!

Greennun · 30/01/2014 11:05

It's a particular group that seem to go along to these events the most, and behave the worst. The poshest, most middle class parents seem to be the worst offenders. I don't think we really want to get too involved in it all.

Finding it a bit prohibitive to get this drunk in front of people that I see every morning and afternoon, and whose children my DC play with.

Well there was a punch up at one of the fundraising events and obviously over-drinking (as someone was sick outside the head's office).

Mums' nights out are tame by comparison Smile

We go to the local pub (opposite the school) about once a term. It's only mothers, and only about half of the mothers in the class generally. Not because the men aren't invited, but because it seems only the women are interested. (One did turn up once, looked all awkward and left). The worst we get is eating our own body-weight in crisps and peanuts. I would be horrified if it turned into what you describe but maybe we're just quite an anti-social bunch?

Floggingmolly · 30/01/2014 11:11

God, ours are tame by comparison. Teachers shagging in toilets?? Shock (Do teachers actually go on a parents evening out?)

ShatnersBassoon · 30/01/2014 11:12

Our school doesn't organise any social events. I don't know why, perhaps they've learnt from bitter experience Grin

Greennun · 30/01/2014 11:13

Ours are organised by the school parents committee

i have never seen this before at all! and tbh i wouldnt want to..
theres a time and a place for getting that drunk and being stupied (though tbf i left thouse type of nights behind at 20!) .. and during a meeting/fund raiser for your childs school is not the place ATALL!

even on the rare nights out now the worst to happen is having to hold back a friends hair after weve got home! which is not a every time kind of thing.

i would be horrified to see this.

Don't shit on your own doorstep I say - or more importantly, your children's.

I reserve this kind of thing for work nights out :)

Hoppinggreen · 30/01/2014 11:37

We don't have couples nights but we do gave a few girls ( ladies) nights out or in and although we do have a laugh there's nothing you couldn't stick the pictures on FB of that goes on!!
