God, why are some mums so bloody dull??

[allgonebellyup]

Just need to rant..all the playground/toddler grp conversations seem to revolve around:

• washing,washing machines breaking etc
• does my daughter love ballet, or would she rather do modern? or tap? Oh its so hard to decide, i dont know what to choose,hmm, oh its such a rush after school getting to all these places, blardy blah..
• are you preparing recipes for the school cook book? (er, no)
• OOh are you going to the PTA meeting after school, theyre talking about the new fences that are being put up (yeah like i care!) -my husband thinks our new 4X4 isnt big enough for the kids, we only have one child but oh we really do need more space..so we have to buy the hugest fukking land rover we can find in london -we tried to get ds to sleep at 7.15 last night but he was cranky and didnt drop off til 7.30 so i didnt have time to get all my ironing done..blardy blaardy bores...

Does my head in!! dont they have any interests? any ideas of what is happening in the rest of the world? no jobs to go to, or issues to focus on????

( and yes getting pissed and tunes - will chew own leg off)

Doesn't make sense.
Your problem with the other mums is that they talk about mumsy issues right? but you find that boring. Your friends dont want to talk about mumsy things with you, you discuss your interests with them, like CDs right?
I think you've forgotten your own point.
And i cant relate to what you're saying because i stopped trying to connect with people on the basis of what "tunes" i was listening to about 12 years ago.

na, yes it does - oh good

(Tell you what though, she is desperate for the year to finish!)

28 is practically middle-aged with regard to knowing about "tunes" (is that what music is called now, they were cough sweets when i were young)

So i am not allowed to like music/concerts/club nights because i am too old??
i have to stop connecting with my old friends because they dont have children and we like music etc? When i go out with them i dont HAVE to talk about washing loads, ironing, calpol, what type of car i own, etc.

"would rather be discussing my girlie holiday in ibiza, and the tunes i listen to, and the clubs we will go to , and the careers im interested in..."

sorry but that sounds so incredibly dull to me

right off to read the rest of the thread

It's like on here. I didn't leap straight in to a discussion on how my fanjo is a bit wonky after 4 kids. I joined in the safe, mumsy sort of things. Eventually you get to know people a bit better and find who you fit with.

FWIW, I didn't get on too well with some of the mums in real life, and it's only recently I've started gelling with a few of them on a basis other than our kids. But it takes time.

that would be tunes as in itunes I spose

yes oyu arte but dont presuemt hat if eopel dont want to tlak abotu it they are dull

Winky fanjo? Who has a winky fanjo? Does UCM know about this?

You're definitely not too old to have those interests..cos if you are then so am i, and i'm not having it!!
The point is that it makes for tedious small-talk.

sobernow I love you

God i wish i hadnt mentioned the ibiza thing now, it totally hasnt helped my point at all!!
i just hate mumsiness and drudgery!

What is mumsiness BTW?

Oh lapin, I thought you'd done it on purpose [groin]

agbu, you seem to be under the impression that mumsie drudgery is what mummies like best - maybe they find you boring - did you think of that?

I love it, its the sole point of my existence

what id d we tlak about
erm the fact that ds1 is to eb an avacuee tomorrow wiht 12 seocnds notice

Was the bit about Ibiza not true then?

I like to complain endlessly when I'm at the school gates

I find it passes the time nicely
