The school run is a hotbed of lesbian sex?

According to an article in the Times I read today. Apparently everybody’s bed hopping and snogging on nights out and in the garden centre.

Is this true? I didn’t get a hint of it when I was doing school runs though one mum did throw out her nice husband and move another mum’s scruffy husband in.

That was about five years ago. So did is this new or did I miss out on the undercurrents ( and is that why the PTA mums were so very mean girls in their clique) or has this been grossly exaggerated?

"has this been grossly exaggerated?" Total fiction, more like.

I was in a garden centre today. It was a hotbed of absolutely nothing at all apart from a bunch of chattering ladies of retired appearance drinking tea and eating cake in the cafe.

That’s what they wanted you to think they’d gone there for… 😂

I’m surprised they have the time given the amount of time the papers seem to think they spend snorting cocaine

Because that's all of the Burchill/Sun/Piers Moron types do.
Shovel fanny powder up their noses and spew clickbait for idiots.

Are they all onto snorting coke now? It used to be drink drivers in pajamas when I was school-running.

God the Times must be getting muy
desesperado for clicks!

My school run is full of ladies competing to throw children over the fence 3 minutes before the gate opens so that they can head to work. No one can fit in a quick shag with a woman or a man unless a hemsworth turns up.

A link is needed!

Eyeing people up for sex on the school run is very far from my mind but I’m of the drop kid off and run mentality 🤣

I kissed a mum (and I liked it): lust, sex and the school run

I mean… if im being honest, there are moments after the husband has been useless or pissed me off when I notice how incredible other mums are on the school run. All smiles, smell great, everything under control by 8:45am and I do think swapping him for one of them seems like a great idea 😂 I can see how it could spiral!

Didimum · 20/08/2025 23:11

I went on a hen do with the school mums once and two of them did end up snogging (and more I think) in the bathroom.

Renamed · 20/08/2025 23:12

Um? Maybe the times thinks that eating cake and gardening is what lesbians do?

(Innocent new mum: Ooh I’ll have the lemon drizzle and a box of those tulip bulbs.
Lesbians in the vicinity: Swoon)

GoodCharl · 20/08/2025 23:12

I once fondled another mums breasts at the school gates when she confessed to them being bolt ons and encouraged me to have a squeeze. Thats as far as it went for me! Never saw anything like this at my school! I waa also on pta and can confirm this didnt happen at our school - also none of us mums / dads on our pta are cliquey or mean!! 😆

thaegumathteth · 20/08/2025 23:23

No but the older I get and the more family dynamics I witness the more I think lesbians are the ones who have it all worked out

Was it written by Alan Titchmarsh?

'hotbed of nothing'
😂

There are no hotbeds where we are, either

Liondoesntsleepatnight · 21/08/2025 03:07

I’m off to shave before school starts back 💃

QueenofFox · 21/08/2025 03:49

I do know a few later life lesbians who got together at our primary school!

frozendaisy · 21/08/2025 03:52

Typical now our school runs are over

who has the time?

are these the rich bored housewives lot? Was going to say Chelsea but are there garden centres in Chelsea? Cotswolds?

Oh details this is what school gates are made for

PennyRest · 21/08/2025 03:54

And there’s me thinking the PTA wasn’t their sort of thing.
Not sure about in the garden centre though. A very genteel hotbed perhaps, behind the trellis section.

frozendaisy · 21/08/2025 04:02

Almost wish I had a primary age now - almost

neighbours do though perhaps I can offer to collect from time to time see what happens

arcticpandas · 21/08/2025 04:16

My last one started secondary now. I've been doing school runs for over a decade and never been invited to any hanky panky! Where should I put in a complain? It's surely discriminatory behaviour and someone should be held responsible!

PollyBell · 21/08/2025 05:09

Not sure about the lesbian sex buy my experience on here says they must go to classes on how to create a clique and how to have so little in your life you must spend all of it plotting against other school mums or so 'schools mums' are accused of by people who act 12 when they are old enough to be responsible for raising children

ThePoshUns · 21/08/2025 06:47

Don’t these people have jobs?

bookworm1982 · 21/08/2025 06:58

Can you link the article? Xx

DollytheShape · 21/08/2025 07:06

I read this yesterday and thought: Damn. I miss all the fun. Daytime lesbian sex sounds great!

But OMG the cliquey fallout from lesbian love triangles + school gate drama…
