...to be so pissed off that the twatting Rooney's can take kids out of school for hols?

[ScouseBird8364]

Is this fair? I mean, why should preferential treatment be given to this pair when us minions aren't allowed to take our children on holiday in school time?

Jeepers it must be hard being you OP.

I'm knackered just reading your posts.

LetsFace ha ha, err, I'd say the same about yours, only yours are boring! old silver plated cutlery, WTF?!

Are you drunk/hungover?

MyFairy, why do you ask? And no, I don't drink!

Random insert of "old silver plated cutlery" and being quite over exuberant about celebs set off my brain.

My apologies. ??

MyFairy ha ha, aah I see what you mean! The silver cutlery was an old post from the other member I was replying to sorry!

Ooh, can I have two pieces of cake?

It's usually thought to be bad form on MN to trawl through posters' old threads and bring them up on new threads OP. I was referring to your posts on this thread.

LetsFace no you weren't!! As I'd only posted the OP then about 2 more, ha ha!!

Yes, always more cake, as much cake as you can eat and also .

Any Ginger Nuts MyFairy? Could do with a few of them right now!

Seriously, I was. I don't go back and look at what posters have said on other threads beore I post a comment on a thread. Having now done an advanced search, I can see you've not been here long under this NN. I mean this kindly, as you're new - it's not the done thing.

I have 2 packets in my cupboard. They are from Lidl but they are very nice. I've just eaten about 20 salted crackers and now have a stomach ache.

Sorry to jump in. I've been on MN for YEARS and regularly name change.

LetsFace- 'I mean this kindly, as you're new - it's not the done thing'.

You remind me of a six year old FFS! Utterly pathetic.

Whatever.
Sighs.
Hides thread.

My six year old also says 'whatever'.

anyone who can build a career and earnings on as little talent as she has is not in any way unintelligent. I'd say Colleen is probably exceedingly shrewd and business minded.

Why do you care? I don't know if they are pricks. I do agree footballers are well overpaid but again, I try not to let it make me so angry I start aibu threads. Kai is only a month or so younger than my DS anyways so even if they do use state schools (doubtful) he won't be going to school till this year.

Elder Rooney child is more or less the same age as my DD. She doesn't start reception until September so I imagine they are taking advantage of the last opportunity for term time holidays just like we are

Patti, I'm so relieved you said your 6 year old says 'whatever' as it seems to be my 6 yo's new word right now and I was beginning to worry that my usually smart, polite boy was developing this little crazy attitude! Must be their age

Yes, surely everyone with dcs starting school in September are going away in June/start of July making the most of the last non-school holiday holiday? So they are just being like everyone else with dcs that age...

I think you miss the point. It's against the law to take your children out of school. You might as well send them into a supermarket and tell them to steal whatever they like as it will save you ££££s on your shopping.
Also, if you think they don't suffer by not being at school for two weeks, then you are wrong.
Thirdly, you would probably be one of the first ones to complain if your child's school dropped all the rules, and let the children run riot. Rules are there for the benefit of the child. A school has a duty of care and so should you.

I thought the youngest Rooney child was 4. So he probably even hasn't started school yet.

The new rules don't seem to have stopped anyone taking their children out of school, parents must just take the holiday and pay the fine. The cases I have heard of at DD's school, are not just the odd day neither, six weeks in Florida at the start of September, three weeks in Egypt in June. I'm not sure how the parent's are getting away with this.

Why has this thread been bumped again ?? Oldest Rooney boy isn't 5 until November. He isn't at school yet.
