Oldest mum, I really feel for her

orangina · 29/04/2008 15:37

Does Older Mum then buy all her clothes from Topshop in an effort not to be mistaken for a granny?!?!
(just wondering.....)

Cammelia · 29/04/2008 15:41

I was just thinking about myself trying to squeeze into anything from Topshop not having worn any since was 13 (I think that was possibly the year Topshop was invented lol)

Schizophrenic mum
One day she is all over you the next day she bobs down behind the organic veg display in Waitrose, rooting deep in her trolley pretending not to have not noticed you smiling and waving at her.

Bad Body Language Mum
You are talking with one of the mums at the school gate when bad body language mum comes and starts talking to you, with her back to the other mum.

Swedes · 29/04/2008 15:50

School gates are second only to labour wards for their bounty of low moments.

CrushWithEyeliner · 29/04/2008 15:55

what would you call the mum that turn up to toddlers a day after popping out the newborn? A lot of those round these parts.....

procrastinatingparent · 29/04/2008 16:40

Wet mum

Mother who neglects to take adequate rain protection to school pick-up through misguided optimism/being too occupied to look at the sky.

Sanitiser Sally ... carries alcohol gel in her pocket, children's hands look suspiciously red and flaky, and says things like "Don't sit on the floor there's germs!"

Blanches when it is pointed out that the teachers TELL them to sit on the floor. Or that threadworm is going round (again).

Only visits once

orangina · 29/04/2008 17:15

I was in the hospital yesterday in psediatric a&e (a total hothouse for germs I must admit). Watched Mum (sanitiser sally I think) carefully remove disposable changing mat from nappy bag, lay out on chair and lay her ds on it before putting on his trousers (think they had been removed for examination). The child was still wearing nappy, vest, etc. Then the child was put back on her lap, mat folded and chucked away.
Am I missing something, what was she afraid of him catching? Dust on his vest?
(perhaps I am disgustingly slovenly with no regard to microbes mum...)

"Sorry about the mess" Mum

She's not sorry. She did have chance to wash up. She didn't do it though.

ChocolateRockingHorse · 29/04/2008 17:29

No but she was on MN instead so...

(Oh God I am "Excuse The Mess Mum" )

(How the weightloss going now Colditz?)

WilfSell · 29/04/2008 17:31

Mum-to-be:
spends 500 quid on a 3 wheeler only to trade in for a buggy 4 months later; buys moses basket to find her 10 pounder is too big for it; thinks she's got away without any stretchmarks (well, she is at 30 weeks already); knows she won't need pain relief; has planned to express straight away because she's got a wedding to go to a month after Junior arrives; has bought some jeans one size bigger than normal to wear after pregnancy; knows she and her old friends will have lots in common in a year's time

DrNortherner · 29/04/2008 17:34

PMSL at sorry about the messy mum!!! I know a few of those...

Haven't read whole thread so sorry if repeating:

Stressed out mum (always rushing, cares of world on shoulder, kids doing her head in)

Working, got it all together mum (always on time, has a job, looks good and has kids over for tea)

PITA PTA Mum - we all know one of these

Neurotic Mum

Hippy mum

Swearing Mum

Smoking mum (lights up a silk cut at school gate)

SmugColditz · 29/04/2008 17:35

(er, have lost 26.5 lb total but have had a Bad Week)

The Silent Repeater .... the quiet mum who stands just a little too close in order to listen in on the conversation and pick you apart to her friends later.

The Cause Of Discreet Eye Rolling ... you know her, admit it. Her not inconsiderable gut hangs in all its naked glory over her trousers, she lewd, loud and proud, and her children stink of ashtrays and always want to come and play with yours, and she is incapable of focusing on anyone under eighteen or female.

OrmIrian · 29/04/2008 17:36

"Working, got it all together mum (always on time, has a job, looks good and has kids over for tea)" usually morphs into nervous-breakdown chaotic mum after a while....

ChocolateRockingHorse · 29/04/2008 17:38

The Private Investigator Mum:

She knows all about you and all about everyone else. She is commonly seen at Clubs your children also attend and if anyone isn't present she knows why.. she knows who hasn't paid their clubs fees.She is also rather nice but Has Ways Of Making You Speak about your rather private business. Hence her superior knowledge of All Things.

DrNortherner · 29/04/2008 17:39

Shy mum - jumps out of her skin when you say hello

Tell anyone her problems mum - you just met her and you know she had 2 miscarriages, has painful periods, her dog died, she has been married before, has piles........

Drama queen mum - need i expand?

ChocolateRockingHorse · 29/04/2008 17:39

(Well done Colditz. )

Fuckwit Mum:

She has a husband, a lover and has her eye on several other men, including YOUR husband!

DrNortherner · 29/04/2008 17:41

Fuckwit mum also known as Trollop Mum
