To tell other school mums to do one ?

So long story short, last week DH and I had an engagement so weren't able to pick SC up from school. Luckily DH brother had week off work so volunteered to pick kids up and look after them for an hour, squared this away with the school and all good. Must mention DH brother is extremely good looking (imagine a late twenties David Gandy and you get the idea). Since then I've had 4 different mums come and speak to me (a couple who I have never spoke to before) regarding BIL, wether he's single, job, etc. AIBU to tell them to do one ?

I get you OP. After a term or two of friendliness, the school mums in my child's class generally don't talk to me. There's a particular clique of mums that has formed (they call themselves "the tribe") and it's been made clear that I didn't make the cut Grin

Anyway, so if something happened and suddenly they were super interested in talking to me, I'd want to tell them to do one too.

When my DS was in reception they had a sound of the week table...When it was "U" week we took in a photo. On the back I wrote "Uncle Mike". Cue a teacher and several TAs all telling me how much they had enjoyed seeing Uncle Mike. I mean eew he's my brother!

it was a nice photo mind

Everyone should Google David Gandy.

OP... Tell us more about your BIL. Is he seeing anyone seriously? He sounds nice, prepared to help out with childcare etc. Perhaps he's free sometime next weekend..?

Just googled Him as I had no idea who he is. He is not my type but very attractive.

It is a teeny bit desperate but meh what can you do. Is he asexual!? Seems weird that his family aren't aware of his sexuality.

AlpacaLypse · 08/03/2018 17:04

Ooooh you've reminded me of the utter scandal when a much older half brother came to pick up a couple of the children at primary. Next thing we knew the mum he'd got chatting to in the playground that day had run off with him!

LoniceraJaponica · 08/03/2018 17:04

I had to google him as I have never heard of him. I recognise that he is eye candy, but he isn't my type either. He looks like he knows he is eye candy.

My BIL is also the kind of gentlemen that single women on the school run might enquire about and he is also like your BIL in that women seem to be a thing for him. He wouldn’t do anything terrible but I would imagine that someone who would be as out there as to ask about some guy on the school run would likely blow things out of proportion when he inevitably ended things which would make things unnecessarily awkward. As much as I would like to be the cool SIL who is a wing man or whatever I really wouldn’t want him shagging his way around the single mothers at school.

mydietstartsmonday · 08/03/2018 17:19

It would bother me in a funny way that women who never bother to talk to me, make the effort because they fancy my BIL.
Tell them he loves chocolate cake and he is coming to yours tomorrow & see if you get any cake delivered to the school run. Better still say he is doing the school run next week and see them come dolled up and just say you could make it after all.
Tell them he has a fancy for red hair girls or something distinct.
You could have great fun with this

He looks like Jeff Goldblum!

OP, just tell them he identifies as a fly.

PumpPumpItUp · 08/03/2018 17:26

God people read some shit in OPs that just aren't there. Amature detectives/psychologists all rolled into one.

MumGrowingOldTooFast · 08/03/2018 17:28

I think I read too much in tobhim being gay, it's justvhes never introduced as to a girl and is very well groomed. I know stereotypical. I get what everyone's saying and I can see the funny side of it too, someone said about pimping him ', whatva utterly terrible thing to say ! Out of interest how much would you be willing to pay ? Lol (holiday needs paying)

It just - very slightly - relieves the monotony. And then talking about it relieves - very slightly - the monotony.

Although whoever it is who has a group of mums who call themselves The Tribe... I'd be spreading headlice rumours.

Ellendegeneres · 08/03/2018 17:36

Eh, who cares if op fancies him? Seriously?
Bigger, more important question.. Does he like to tend gardens in the summer shirtless? Cause I need a handy man, and it won’t hurt if he looks like David Gandy. In fact, it’d make it a done deal...

Mustang27 · 08/03/2018 17:36

Lol at you pimping him out. Also to the person suggesting you start playing this in your favour by suggesting chocolate cake his fav hair colour and stuff, that could be more than just a little entertaining. He loves a woman in high visGrin

Mustang27 · 08/03/2018 17:37

The tribe?!? That makes them sound a little feral lol

Dahlietta · 08/03/2018 17:49

I've just Googled him too and...

He looks like Jeff Goldblum!

... He absolutely does!

Oblomov18 · 08/03/2018 17:59

Janet? Shock
Eh? He speaks beautifully. I saw him on Alan Carr's sofa, being interviewed And he has a lovely accent.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 08/03/2018 18:08

Jeff Goldblum?! Grin Not to me he doesn't.
I've never heard him talk. What wrong with him? Not like Frank Spencer I hope Shock

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 08/03/2018 18:08

I'm going to have to google him talking now!

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 08/03/2018 18:11

Just go and watch him on Jonathon Ross.
And then come back and tell me he's not beautiful 😍😍😍😍 and his voice is lovely!
Pah.

Oblomov18 · 08/03/2018 18:18

AlanCarr

I could listen look at to David Gandy. All DAY....

Oblomov18 · 08/03/2018 18:19

I seriously don't think he has an awful voice, as a pp implied.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 08/03/2018 18:22

I don't mind sharing him with you Obmolov, I'm kind like that WinkGrin

He's got to be the most beautiful man ever born surely?
