The daddies on the bus go “nod nod nod”. Get to fuck.

[Bebepoor]

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.

Our version is “read their paper”. The mummies “chatter”.

I grew up with 'stop that noise' after the babies said 'wah! wah! wah!'

At our group it's 'nod nod nod' but I thought it was nod as in saying yes...

The Daddies on the bus manspread all day...manspread all day...manspread all day....and so on.

Guys, I don't think OP is starting a discussion about the nursery song! She's pissed off that her OH is falling asleep at this hour when she has (presumably, and in her opinion at least) had a longer, harder day of it.

The nursery rhyme though, if the fictional bus is anything like the one I used to catch home from college, should be:

'The daddies on the bus look at their porn...'

There was one guy who'd look at dirty mags every day while shepherding his kids home from school.

Ours was, "Don't do that."
Whilst the Mummies did, "Chatter, chatter, chatter."

Utter bullocks.

The daddies say "don't bother me I'm reading my paper". The children didn't quite work out why we (the mummies) found this so funny.

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

ohwhatthe

is everything Ok headtilt OP?

In the version I made up for dd the daddies on the bus go 'moan moan moan'. I don't remember daddies being on the bus when I was little but she seemed to be expecting a verse about them and I was a bit stuck. Mummies chat, grannies knit and grandpas snore.

The bloody patriarchy!!! Get this song banned at once! It is the reason women get raped and die! Oh sorry, no, this is AIBU not Feminism

Who says shshshsh
Or reads reads reads

Both have been dads in my old work place

I change most of the verses [over sensitive]

Another one for “Stop that noise”. But I sing this song to distract DD while slathering on eczema cream and my character list includes postmen, hipsters, cows, dogs, cats, hamsters, squid and cars, so I’m hardly one to complain really.

The one I've sang involves the daddies going Rustle rustle rustle, while shaking arms. I assumed this was newspaper reading.

Could be Russell Russell Russell, the arms possibly shaking Abbott, Grant and Brand by the shoulders for obvious reasons.

Nana knits
Grandad nods nods nods

Mummy chats
Daddy reads / shhhhh the baby
Babies cry
Children go wriggle wriggle / up and down

Loads of versions I've heard 7 years in a nursery school

Round these parts the daddies on the bus go read read read. The paper, I presume.

God forbid a baby cries on the bus - it might put a daddy off from reading his paper!

Essential - please fill me in on hipsters and squid.

You can tackle everyday sexism without saying its as brutally awful as rape actually not that that's what the OP was necessarily even meaning as someone else has said.

Honestly, what's with the recent virulent, rabid, anti-anything-like-feminism posts all over mumsnet? (If this even qualifies as that even).

The mummies on the bus are C E Ohs!

No, Mogle, it’s very important never to look at anything in a light-hearted way because if you do then The Cause is set back ten years and it’s all your fault.

The Daddies in our version go "moan, moan, moan" or "grump, grump, grump". Based on one Daddy really though....

I always sang ‘and the babies on the bus went nod nod nod’ ... not daddies.

I do a baby group at the library. We sing this regularly and I always change the words round. One week I said, "And what do the daddies on the bus do?" and one of the grans answered, "Naff all..."

At a play group once the ladies sang the “mummy’s go chatter chatter chatter” verse then sang “daddy goes shh shh” verse that didn’t go down well ha
