To want to complain about Wheels on the Bus?

[Downwiththatsortofthing252]

I really don't want to be that parent but...

My DS who is 2 and a half is singing the wheels on the bus with the lyrics 'the mummies on the bus go chatter chatter chatter... etc' and then after that 'the daddies on the bus go stop that noise... etc'

He's picked it up from nursery, who I didn't think would teach these lyrics, they're normally really good and on the ball with things. I hate the stereotype the lyrics are projecting that mummies are silly and daddies are impatient.

I know there's another version with the mummies saying I love you, WIBU to ask nursery to change what they teach?

Jack's with Jill,she forgot the pill, but he still climbed inside her.
He's left her alone, now her bellies full grown, but dad number 2s not far behind her!

Lol we used to sing

Jack and Gill went up the hill to have a little fun
Stupid Gill forgot her pill and now they have a son

joins yoh hiding behind the sofa

dayman don't worry there's plenty of roo. Behind here surprised actually I haven't been berated for it yet.

Room even....stupid predictive text.

YABU. Its not the right words anyway.

Babies go wah wah wah
Mummies either say shush shush shush or go chatter chatter chatter
Children bounce up and down
Drivers say stop that noise

Daddies are nowhere to be seen on our bus.

@ElectricMonkey I wasn't talking about chavs, I was talking about buses taking cash! So no comment there I suppose.

I've lived in 2 of those places and a lot of people use the word chav, I can't remember the last time I did myself but yeah...

The Daddies on the bus go 'swipe swipe swipe'

Give it a bit of a modern feel.

Oh Jesus electric really taken offence to the word chav haven't you. Like a dog with a bone. Nothing to do with class. It's a term used to describe the way they dress and act. Drop the bone and be done with it.

.

Now take the stick out of your arse. It was a joke. Chavs are people who dress in tracksuits and see a bit yobbish. Wasnt a classist slur was it. I'll happily state for the record I come from what would be termed as a lower class family.

Londoners and others who have cashless buses could substitute 'The card on the bus won't swipe, swipe, swipe.'

@ElectricMonkey no I meant no comment from me about chavs! 😅 I know you addressed the bus part

The drivers on the bus are informing all the passengers that they are now accepting contactless so not to worry about bringing cash, now accepting contactless so not to worry about bringing cash, now accepting contactless so not to worry about bringing cash...

Catchy 😁

I’m on your side OP

@DayManChampionOfTheSun

Jack and Jill went to the dairy
Jack flung out his big and hairy
Jill said “ooh what a whoppa
Let’s get down and do it proper”

OP I'm with you, this stuff matters. YANBU

Mary had a little lamb
She also had a bear
I've often seen her little lamb
But I've never seen her bare

For f*'s sake.....are you one of these people who don't like Baa Baa black sheep either?! Get a grip.

I truly despair at how this snowflake generation is going to cope with life I really do.

Yes. Yabu. What a first world problem 😂

I only worked out a few months ago that “this little piggy went to market” does not means he’s gone go the local market to shop....he’s gone to the meat market to be bought and slaughtered

Why does it matter?

I think quite a few people have already explained why it matters.

Yeah it annoys me too. Not offended exactly but just avoid anything after the first two verses.
