The school run is a hotbed of lesbian sex?

[nhsmanagersanonymous]

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?

Read the article over breakfast - anyone else think it reads like a fantasy?

Its often been said that what a mum needs is not a husband, it's a wife. So true though, think how much easier life would be with two practical mums on the case.

there wouldn't be time amongst the gossiping and the 'I am feeling judged' and they are being big meanies

Maybe in some posh areas with glamorous bored stay at home wives - definitely not mainstream…

That's because it's still school holidays. You wait until September.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps the whole article is a mission statement.

And II would say 70% of mums I know would at least consider it.

i thought the thing was that all middle class parents were having dinner parties and snorting coke? Thats an article that comes out in the Times magazine periodically. I suppose these parents are good multi taskers.

I am now having visons of us all watching a show on David Attenborough & Dervla Kirwan doing a school run/spring watch type set up

My friend (at a different primary) hooked up with another school Mum, both left their husbands and now live together with 6 kids between them!

Two teachers at my sons primary school left their husbands and ran off together. DS2 was gutted as he was really looking forward to one of them for his yr2 teacher!

Not in my experience - cannot imagine anything less conducive to even a mild flirt than the school gate.

But I know someone who did occasionally hook up with one of the other mums. My friend was single but the other woman was married. Their daughters were great friends. I highly doubt they know this!

I've had two DC go through primary school and never been invited to a garden centre, orgy, dinner party or coke fest. I feel quite left out TBH. Maybe I should have made more of an effort to disguise the pyjamas.

Of course it's true! They're a group of women, aren't they? They can't possibly be thinking about their family, career, earnings, holidays, the political situation etc. it's gotta be about sex! It couldn't possibly be in some pathetic male journalist's febrile imagination.

Wow, I didn't know this. Clearly I need to start dressing better for it.

@Fountofwisdom I would happily contribute to that book. Honestly, the very expensive prep school I worked in was like a Jilly Cooper novel. So many wealthy old
husbands and horny young wives. The PE department were the worst, but the gossip was superb.
Parents’ evening was incredible because the school put on a free bar!

This is patently a complete male fantasy - all about women having sexy encounters (as if-in the garden centre..) not forming real lesbian relationships/living together/ civil partnerships/getting married

We've got some lesbian school mums. 2 are happily married and the other 2 were lovers but have now become enemies. They make just as much of a show of being enemies as they did when they were lovers 🙄 I've never even spoken to either of them but I know all of their business from the performances in the playground.

A few bed-hopping dads as well. We're not really a garden centre sort of area but I'm sure there's been plenty of entertainment down Primark and Wetherspoons.

Isn't it just! Made me laugh.

I would normally agree with you but how many posts on here over the years are all about school mum dramas so going by them you would think a school mum is only just tha

Dramas? Mmm. Perhaps it's reading MN that gave this journalist the idea!

Maybe, but, as a man, I obviously believe they all gravitate towards the aubergine plants in the end...

I never had any at the school but seems they do a lot on here

Maybe it’s a plant by the National pta association to get more volunteers.

I completely missed this on the school run! Would have made it more interesting, for sure! 😀
