Oh they are so tired from their full night’s sleep, 10 hours sitting in a chair drinking hot coffee then bathing one child and reading one story. Gah.

Long day?

ButchyRestingFace · 26/02/2018 21:42

One daddy in particular or daddies in general?

ilovesooty · 26/02/2018 21:43

Is that actually a verse in the song?

NemoRocksMyWorld · 26/02/2018 21:44

It's "snore, snore, snore" in my baby group. And the mummies "chatter, chatter, chatter".

I once asked the leader to change the doctor in "miss Polly had a dolly" to a woman ....(i.e her bag etc). Apparently this would be too confusing!

Ah balls. Such a long day that I posted this in AIBU rather than Chat. Or maybe it should have been in MN Campaigns?

Does it really matter? Jeez.

NapQueen · 26/02/2018 21:46

Oh I assumed they were just nod nod nodding along to the mummies chatter chatter chatter?

cista · 26/02/2018 21:47

What alternative would you suggest?

StealthPolarBear · 26/02/2018 21:47

:) i get you op

In the version my kids sang, the mommies said "shh shh shh," because the babies were saying "wah wah wah." The daddies weren't on the bus in the version.

Isadora2007 · 26/02/2018 21:48

Maybe they are being agreeable nice daddies? As in saying Yes...

No nodding off... not with all the chattering the mummies are doing 🙄

ICanTuckMyBoobsInMyPockets · 26/02/2018 21:49

Our playgroup has chattering mummies and ssshhing daddies.

Gets on my nerves so I sit in silence in protest. That's about as brace as I get Blush

blackteasplease · 26/02/2018 21:50

I thought the daddies said shh to the children and the children made too much noise?

May be getting confused though.

OhWotIsItThisTime · 26/02/2018 21:50

You could change it to:
The daddies on the bus do fer uck all, fer uck all, fer uck all, the ...

wheresmycake · 26/02/2018 21:50

In our version they ask Where's my car all day long.

user1492877024 · 26/02/2018 21:52

Posts like this do more damage to the feminism cause than anything else.

restingbemusedface · 26/02/2018 21:52

At our group the daddies read their newspaper and the mummies chatter. At which point all the mummies stop singing along.

Eminybob · 26/02/2018 21:53

There have never been daddies on any of the busses in any of our play groups. Which is in itself quite sexist.

Amanduh · 26/02/2018 21:54

Ours say no no no.

MadeinBelfast · 26/02/2018 21:54

I went to a great group - 'The mummies on the bus read astrophysics/ The daddies on the bus say "that's right mummy"' 😉

Ellendegeneres · 26/02/2018 21:58

Round here the daddies on the bus say stop that noise...
Or what the hell am I doing on the bus like a peasant. Actually heard the peasant comment recently, wanted to chin the twat.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 26/02/2018 22:04

All the buses round here have been cut, so nay fucker says owt.

fannythrobbing · 26/02/2018 22:04

Haha I must have a very pc version as around here it's "the people on the bus go chatter, chatter, chatter" no mummies or daddies.

Tubbyinthehottub · 26/02/2018 22:06

The daddies say "SIT DOWN THERE" because they are grumpy twats.

Mascarponeandwine · 26/02/2018 22:07

The words mummies and daddies make my teeth itch
