To be worried about bad influences at school?

I'm worried about the standards of the other parents.

After dropping DS1 at school this morning I popped into the local shop for some wholemeal bread and a cabbage.

While I was in there I saw one of the other parents from my son's class. He let his two year old buy a fruit shoot.

What kind of people are these? Will be son be infected?

No, he will (hopefully) be invited to their (probably excellent) birthday parties and find out how normal people live.

Does he like fruit shoots?

Perhaps you could start your own after school club to try and re-educate those more unfortunate than you? Maybe a Lentil Weaving Club or a Grow Your Own Yogurt Group might help raise the standards all round?

You don't make your own bread . I think you are one of the bad influences too.

You need to complain to your local council. Shops should not be allowed to sell fruit shoots so close to a school.

True total chaos. She doesn't grow her own cabbages either. Tsk.

I think you should home education, you wil be putting your son at serious risk. He might even play football

Find it difficult to believe that a corner shop would sell organic vegetables.

Miggsie · 18/03/2009 09:34

Wow, you have a corner shop??!

ILikeLentils · 18/03/2009 09:34

I tried starting a Lentil tasting club but nobody came.

TotalChaos, that really hurts. I do normally make my own bread but the children seem to prefer shop bought. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Cornsilk, I think you're on to something there. I'll email my councillor straight away.

If you start a canvas shoe weaving club, count me in!!!!!

Was the cabbage organic? If not you disgust me and should not be a parent.

ILikeLentils · 18/03/2009 09:55

Of course the cabbage was organic. What kind of parent do you take me for?
