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?

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

Drinking tea and eating cake sounds very post-coital…

I had a friend who worked decades ago in a social work centre in a very deprived area and it was like this. They had orgies (not my friend, she left).

It was a long time ago now but a dad who I worked shifts with was able to do drop off. As soon as drop off was done him & another school run mum would disappear off together for their daytime shenanigans. Another mum would be off on the train for her daytime fun and would arrive back at pick up very happy lol. Another mum got found out for sex chatting to other men on Freeserve chat instead of getting the housework done; so if you working mums always wondered what they did all day there you have it 🤣
And all this was in west Yorkshire, must be something in the water 🤣

See, now I feel like I have really missed out in life. I don't think anyone has ever brought me post-coital cake...

Yep, our private school is a hotbed of sexual tension. Don’t think it’s specific to lesbians though.

ChannelLightVessel · 21/08/2025 08:39

Hmm. DB is a primary school HT. I’ll have to ask him…

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)

That's so reductive. We like a good book too!

Is it AI? It sounds quite a lot like it and is conveniently anonymous.

This kind of organised fun — which is always called “drinkies”, never “drinks” — can feel like going into battle, where you have to smile politely and keep your mouth shut for fear of dropping a social clanger that would mean you’re never invited to Tiggy’s summer party with its free-flowing prosecco again. It can be stiff and gladiatorial, it can be snipey and like Mean Girls— at least until the third bottle of wine, where things tend to get loose and interesting, usually back at someone’s house. A lot more interesting, in my case.

it sounds like it’s written by Geoff Alconbury, circa Bridget Jones 1990s.

Not having kids I’ve never once been jealous of the school run, until now.

Well, in my experience, it was drop kids off, wave, off to work! Very dull.

HScully · 21/08/2025 08:58

I am a Lesbian I might start offering to take my neighbours kids to school..... 😂

Go for it! A neighbourly gesture and a social win!

Don’t worry - the Silly Season will soon be over for journos.

Absentmindedsmile · 21/08/2025 09:03

Wishful thinking from the journalist probably

MyAcornWood · 21/08/2025 09:04

I guess I’m not as attractive as I’d hoped, I’ve never been propositioned by a potential lesbian sex buddy on the school run 🎻

I did get a hand delivered invitation to the village swingers club mind

LancashireButterPie · 21/08/2025 09:12

Its been 20 years since I did a school run but I have noticed a sea change in sexual attitudes where I work.
On our last works night out (all young professionals except me) the girls were snogging the faces off each other.......and they all have boyfriends.

I feel old. I can remember when The Times was a decent paper, even though edited by a Mr Rees-Mogg (dad not the son who supported the treasonous suspension of Parliament).

No idea but "and in the garden centre" made me laugh, thanks. The school events committee asking for any availability in the group chat might not be all it seems.

😂

RedToothBrush · 21/08/2025 09:22

Someone wrote their fantasy and the Times decided to publish it, knowing it's getting a lot of clicks from blokes and MNetters.

It's clearly bollocks.

CrispySquid · 21/08/2025 09:26

I don’t really know what’s got into newspapers lately. Along the same lines, the Daily Mail for the last two years has continually put out stories of “yummy mummys” in the Cotswolds always doing cocaine and bed hopping/swinging/frequenting sex parties and that ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION IS AT IT.

BugBugTheTornado · 21/08/2025 09:28

Obviously everyone knows the P(ussy)T(its)A(rse) WhatsApp is practically tinder for horny mums with a fondness for an overpriced scone 🙄

deydododatdodontdeydo · 21/08/2025 09:33

These people live in a completely different (fantasy) world to me.
Either that or I'm clueless and oblivious to what's going on.

Damn, I'd have joined if I'd realised that.

When my eldest started school, myself and another mum was outcast from the mums groups. This went on through primary and when they got to highschool we all thought the clique would fizzle out. Turns out the queen bee wannabe had affairs with three of the mums and one of the dads. They’d all hang out and get drunk together and clearly it was a very close friends group.

Their teens and mine remained friends through school and it was the kids who let on about QBW and her frivolous ways with their mothers. Her poor husband suspected a single affair with the husband of one of the mums (according to their eldest child) but it was actually the mum she was banging. 😂😂

They were all horrible stuck up judgmental people so I loved that their kids gossiped about this 😂
